Then Wednesday night, my almost entire work went bowling. It was SO much fun. There were at least 60 people there. Amy, Gina, Heather, Jamie and I got there early and ran into one of my favorite managers, Francisco and he wanted to go get something to eat so we went with him to Chevy's. Rudy wasn't there yet so we decided to go. I wanted something fruity and Francisco recommended a blue long island iced tea.....well as Amy called it, it was "DISEL FUEL", like literally! Gina couldn't even eat the lemon that came with it. <.giggle> After that I was pretty happy. Francisco bought all our drinks -it was so nice of him. When we got back to bowling, everyone was pretty much there so we set up teams. My team was my gals and Katie (her friend Brit) and Francisco was the only guy. But all of them participated in our bowling ritual of getting a sticker and slapping it on their BUTTS! <.giggle> It was great fun! I scored a 103 but Francisco beat us all with a 125! Rudy and I sang two *NSYNC songs-GREAT fun!

Then the next morning I am at work doing cash. While waiting on a guest, Rudy comes up to me and asks me if I had heard what happened. Then he told me that Francisco was just hit by a car. He had been going to the shed to get some drinks for hotdogger and was struck by a secretary of the park while leaving. He did some sort of flip and got up and was like, "I'm okay" but they told him to lay down and not move. They took him to the hospital and Rudy said he was going be alright, but I didn't know whether to cry, scream, or laugh (even though it was SO not funny, I was kinda in shock and didn't know what to do) I just kept saying, "Rudy are you freakin kidding me?" I just couldn't believe it! All I could do was just pray after that. The weird thing was everyone at work was like, "oh he will be okay" and asking me what was wrong cause I wasn't my cheery self and I couldn't believe that everyone was just so okay about it-I was in shock and couldn't even stand to smile, although I had to just to do my job. That whole day sucked from them on. I couldn't stop thinking about what it would be like to see him getting hit by a car. I just prayed and thankfully enough the next day at work, Rudy said he was okay and that he had stopped by and was all good. So thank God for that!

Thursday night we went and saw Blue Stone Circle again! It was SO much fun! The best time we have had there yet! There were two porn stars there and CeCe kept making fun of the chick with the huge purchased boobs with mentionings of him loving the show "twin peaks" and about him loosing his melons. <.giggle> He even came over to us and said, "It's amazing what you can buy with money." I got my picture with Woodsey and CeCe! They are so adorable. Michael kept playing with us, giving us funny looks and laughing with us, esp. with the metal sign, he is just adorable! I love those guys. They are SO talented and goofy at the same time! They are great!

Last night, we took Kate's friends from work bowling and karaoking. I was SO tired last night that I didn't have the best ole time, but I did bowl my highest yet of a 114! Whoo hoo! I had two strikes in a row first off. I was happy about my game, but that was pretty much it! I was still thinking of Francisco and how he could or might have died being hit by that car, but thank God he wasn't. It was really a wake up message to me that anyone of us could be pulled into Heaven when he wants us and to make every moment count.

So today I have off and I am spending it doing laundry, hanging out, laying out, and hopefully B and Rachel will stop by either tonight or tomorrow! I can't wait to see them again! I miss my friends!

I have felt really good at work. I have been recognized twice during morning meetings. One was this morning. Rick made me tell everyone in the meeting about the angry guest who chose lucky me to yell at about the wait for food and I had asked Rick what we could do to make her day better. So we refunded her money and made her smile. Rick gave me a Fanatic card and again made me blush in front of everyone, but it was nice of them regardless....I am just trying to do a Disney-good job!

Thursday night, Amy and her friend Michelle, Tonya, Kate, Andrea, and Scott and I went to Margaretiville to see Blue Stone Circle again! I LOVE those guys. I went up to Woodsey (the keyboardist/guitarist/singer-they all move around) and asked him if they knew any Don Ho (since they take requests) and he said, yea we know a little Don Ho. So I requested "Tiny Bubbles" and gave him the napkin. Well the VERY last song around 2AM, CeCe (the singer/guitarist) held up a napkin (MY napkin) and said, "We had a request earlier for Don Ho" hee hee and ALL eyes went to me as I screamed and held up the metal song and they actually PLAYED DON HO for me! I got up and did the hula while everyone just kinda of stood there not knowing what to do with the usually hard rock playin band. It was great! That made my night. I thanked Woodsey and he was like "no problem!" I love them! Amy's band RULES!

Last night, I recruited one of my work peeps, Katie to come to bowling/karaoking with us. It was tons of fun! She brought her friends Preston and Lila. Amy, Andrea, Heather, Kate, Joaquin, Marcus, Tonya, Gina, Jeremy were also there. It was awesome. I bowled my best in a LONG time beating a lot of my buds with a 103. Nice! Rudy, my manager at work wanted me to get info about group bowling for our work So we are going to go next Wednesday and close the place down with our huge group. I hope everyone comes! I was the first to sign up-Rudy wanted me to start the bowl rolling...hee hee...literally! I am excited!

Today I got an ER at 12:30 so I have been hanging around getting stuff done because I don't have another day off till next Saturday. Jen comes on Monday! I am SO excited! Tonight we might go to Joaquin's for dinner! Things are going great! I just hope they keep going that way, although I hope I don't get too attached, I don't want to be crying all the way home again in August just after my two month summer stay. Later!

Work is getting better! I am meeting new people and I even had a perfect bank yesterday, which is what I was going for! I was SO happy! The people are really nice and welcoming so it's all good and keeps getting better!

The really fun times are when we go out! Lack of sleep is getting more and more the case for me, hee hee. Kyla, Sasha, and I hung out at Blizzard Beach the other day! It was so much fun! My park rules when I am not working at it <.giggle> We had so much fun! I saw LUIS! I was so happy to see him. He is a lifeguard there and I was floating by on the lazy river when I spotted him! Then I saw him the day after and he remembered me, I love him-he's so sweet!

We went to Margaritaville the other night to see Amy's band play. They are SO good and SO good-looking! It was tons of fun...they made me dance. Yikes...hee hee, but it was fun!

Florida is so much fun! I feel like I am myself here. I dress differently (more confidently), act differently (more laid back and confident), Have more fun! It's just great! I LOVE IT HERE, It feels like home...even though I do really miss my family! My momma told me that my neice asked her "where nanie?" awww she is only two and she asked about me, I love her...I really miss my neice and nephews...I wish everyone was here with me!

It's raining now...I had to get out of my house...I love my roomies but sometimes it's too much! The trash only gets taken out by Kate and myself! I keep refilling the toliet paper while it seems that no one else does (I am taking a break on that) and the place (no matter how much I clean the kitchen area) it seems to always be messy. GRRRRR, and sometimes I just want to scream. We had to get our roommate agreement turned in today by 5, and at 4:50 my roommates started telling ME to fill it out and hand it in....HELLO this is a roommate thing, not a ME thing. But of course I did it and turned it in...oh well. Love them but...

Today, T and Gina and I went to MGM and did "show day" where we went to shows only. We only made it to Who wants to be a Millionaire and Playhouse Disney! Both shows were totally awesome! It has been raining ALL day today. I got soaked! Not good. And I was totally freezing the WHOLE day!

I called Steph last night! She's doing well so I am happy! I miss her though, it's weird to not talk to her at least once a week! She told me Millie was gonna be at Magic Kingdom today, but unfortantely I had no other info to go on so there was no way I could hunt her down in the entire Kingdom. I miss her though, it would have been GREAT to see someone from work...and home.

I am talking to Tonya right now and it's so good to talk to her again! I miss my buds from the ATL. I am glad she is coming to visit me, but I wish she would drag Allison along too....

Okay enough for now! Back to the lazy day of raining here at Vista Way! Later!

MARCEL was there! I was so excited to see him again! He is just adorable! Joaquin made us some chicken pasta and salad and we watched Forrest Gump. It was good times and noodle salad (as Amy would say-oh please don't let me start saying that, hee hee) SO anyways...

After dinner, we all headed over to David's to watch the Tyson/Lewis fight! Lance, Kevin (my manager from ODF), Robert (Kevin's buddy), and all of us were there. It was a blast. Although I don't like violence, it was exciting to watch Lewis kick Tyson's butt, cause I hate Tyson, and Lewis was cute with his English accent!

After the fight, we all went to the Ale House and had some more fun partying and acting up. We threw coasters and colored. Mucho fun! I think our waiter hated us! Anyways I just want to say how much I LOVE my friends, they all kick butt so a shout out to all of ya'll! I am having SO much fun, and getting SO tired doing it all, but it's working out so far. I forgot how much you don't sleep while in FL on the college program!

So funny thing. My roommate, Minhee, doesn't know who I am. Hmmm...She called me Kate and gave me the phone yesterday so I was like "umm hello" and the guy goes "KATE!" and I was like, "umm no, this is Carolyn" and it was David....I went to Minhee after words and was like, "Did David ask for Kate or Carolyn?" and she goes "well, he asked for Carolyn but I told him she wasn't here and told him that Kate was....aren't you Kate?" UMMM NO NO NO! Why doesn't she even care enough to know and learn my name? What the heck? Whatever...I was like "OH...I AM CAROLYN" Nice to meet ya dork!

So that was kinda funny....so work was okay today...I was on cash...I had a couple minor difficulties and was over about $20 and I have NO idea why or how...but whatever, no biggie they say...watch me get terminated for it.

Okay well tonight I am going to bed EARLY, I am making myself, no more going out for me! later!

So, I went and hung out with my work peeps at the Ale House on Thursday to say goodbye to one of our managers who is leaving to go to Banquets at MGM (where Blair, my old manager, works now) so bye bye Tammy, it was nice knowing ya for a couple of weeks. It was cool to socialize with my work people. There were tons of people there and T, Kate, Andrea and Gina showed up too! yay!

So last night after a night of karaoking and bowling until 2:30AM, Kate and I crashed at 3AM to only wake up at 5:10AM to go to the TD Waterhouse to get *NSYNC Challenge for the Children tickets. After much ado, Tonya, Kate, and I got great seats for the skills challenge and the Basketball game, 107 A (which I think is behind the basket (nice view of the boys making their shots, hee hee) and only like four or five rows from the floor (I HOPE) AND we got tickets to the ALREADY SOLD out party for 21 and up ONLY at the GROOVE for the Friday before (I DOUBT I will meet them, but they will be there and will prefrom) so it shall be fun and worth the struggle of waking up and going this morning! I am running on nothing right now!

So, tonight we are headed to Joaquin's for dinner, he is making us chicken pasta stuff or something like that-I am excited and hungry just thinking about it! Anyways off to FL fun! Later

Yesterday, Gina, Heather and I went to DAK to see the Tarzan show. Jungle Jim remembered us and sat us in VIP, Oh I love Jim! We had the best seats in the house and it was just like I remembered it! Billy sang (and did an incredible job doing so) but there was a different Tarzan (saddness) but he was pretty good I guess. <.hee hee>

Then, Joaquin, Marcus, and Jeremy met Gina, Kate, Amy, T, and I at the ole stomping bowling grounds where we bowled two pretty awesome games then went on to karaoke, whoo hoo! It was a blast! Kate and I sang Bye Bye Bye, Amy and I sang Say My Name and T, Kate, and I sang Goodbye Earl! It was a blast! I have to say that Amy was the karaoke queen though, it was all fun though!

Today, I worked -ugh- and the work is not so pleasing. I certainly enjoy my days off way more! hee hee. But oh well! All my co-workers speak espanol so they are teaching me! I kinda have to learn or I will be lost all summer, oh well.

Everything else is going well, just hanging out, enjoying the sun and freedom to go to the parks, I LOVE it here, just wish it was the exact same as last time, but oh well.
