fair warning

so, as you should know.... my birthday is in two weeks! yay! yay! yay!

it just so happens that some local travel agencies are offering some amazing package deals right now to very sunny places. as i haven't seen the sun in four months (that's an absurd exaggeration but that's what it feels like) i am planning a trip to las palmas de gran canaria, spain with andrew a few days before my birthday. the trip will last a week so..... if any of you have some major exciting surprise in store for me that involves showing up on my doorstep..... tell me now or forever hold your peace.
