Well, not sure how I feel at the moment. Kind of weird....but today was an overall good day. Did my laundry, ran errands, got costumes, got paid <.starts singing> Just Got Paid, Juliet came by and brought me lunch. <.awww>

Watched tv with Juliet, chatted about girl stuff. Fun times. Went to the grocery store, rushed back to get ready for BIG SKY. Picked up the crew and were on our way.

It rained a bit while we watched Big Sky. It was outdoors so couldn't be avoided, but all was good. Homeless people stopped by to see what the action was....granted the show was free, but geez...nah, but it was good times. Played my favs....good show.

Came back and went to Steak and Shake cause Leslie had a craving. Hung out and chatted there. Came home and had an interesting talk. Not sure how I feel about the aftermath of it though. Hmmm. Just makes more sense of how much of a dummy I am, I guess.

But I guess I am beat now...so off to bed I go. Chat with ya later.

What a full day off! I slept in till about 11ish, then Tye and I went to MGM. Saw NICK! <.grin> SO good to see him...random run in as well so that is always fun. Saw Libby, Bethany, and Jose working there....did Rockin Rollar Coaster TWICE...then Tower of Terror. Fun stuff.

Headed on to our park, EPCOT...hung out in Norway, Italy, Germany, and America. Rode Test Track....proceeded to catch Off Kilter in Canada! Whoo hoo. They rock! I miss that band. Visited DRC. Then, watched the last preformance that I will see of Tapestry of Dreams. <.saddness> Then, headed back to the villas to quickly change and get ready for the evening's activities.

Got ready, went to meet everyone at the Poly....fun stuff. Like twenty GR's were there and extras. Fun night. Disney's Spirit of Aloha was much better than the luau in my opinion. The dancing was better, it actually had a storyline, the food was better, the atmosphere was pretty much the same, but better enjoyed with the amount of stage acts and whatnot. There were still hula dancing, typical fire dances, and polynesian music (but with added Lilo and Stitch tunes as well) so it was still the same idea, just with added enjoyment of a storyline. Very fun!

After dinner, we said some goodbyes, but a few of us went to the Ale House for an after party. Mucho fun there as well. Good times. I like my peeps....fun peeps. Found out Jonathan will be coming home soon. Can't wait! <.grin> I miss him!

Tomorrow is gonna be another exciting day. Planning on resting, doing laundry, hanging out, seeing BIG SKY, and enjoying the time off. Really want to go to the PC auction and bid on a golf cart, but don't see that happening really. We shall see. Anyways off to bed. Laters!

Today was an excellent day altogether. Basically did the phones for a bit then went down to the lobby. Had good guests on the phones...had good guests in the lobby..happiness. Just a happy day altogether...in my opinion. <.grin>

Had a nice chat this evening. <.blush> Thanks yo...you made my day.

Went out to dinner with Leslie, Becca, and Steve....waiter totally was crunching on me...must be my new hair. Not sure why...kinda weird. Not my type though...too boastful. Kept talking about his "bumpin and grindin" we were like "what?...umm no" Weird. Fun stuff at Ale House though...ran into Becca's friend, "dude!" <.giggle> Fun times!

So....tomorrow I work, the I get the next two days off...happiness! I can't wait. We have tons of plans. Going to MGM, EPCOT, and then to Disney's Spirit of Aloha with a HUGE group...gonna be tons of fun! Then on Thursday totally going to the PC Auction by myself <.grin> and getting the crowd together for the FREE BIG SKY show in downtown Orlando. Excitement! <.grin>

So...go to FYC and check out current tour info and listen to their songs. They rock and they will be playing in Gainesville, FL at The Palace on March 28th....so go see them and come visit me! <.grin> I will be there to support them! It's a big show for them so come on out and support!

Chatting with Tonya now...so happy...haven't talked to her in forever! Talked to Kyla, Jamie AND AMY JO tonight as well! Happiness...I miss my friends! Where are you people? COME DOWN HERE NOW! <.grin>

So yea...going to bed, I am pooped. Too much excitement for one day. <.sigh> But things may be lookin up...very happy about some news I got this evening...maybe something good will occur in the near future...I hope <.grin>

So today I worked from 10-2 in DRC and then from 2:30-11:15 in the lobby. What a full day. Went by pretty quickly though...especially when broken up like that. Not too bad and got overtime so that is a plus.

I had some situations today, but nothing too serious. First time to actually call the emergency line at Disney though. Quite exciting, but everything worked out.

It rained SO hard...I walked out Serena and Jordan so that they could have umbrella's and I could bring them back. When I came back, I was soaked. The rain and wind combo was not good for me at all!

I had a lost little girl. She was five and SO cute. We hung out for about twenty minutes then her mother came and took her away from me. Her name was Aman and she was SO cute! I enjoyed her!

Tomorrow I work all day in DRC, which will be a nice break from the lobby. Think I have had too much lobby for now. Ann and Carol kept playing with Tye and us by calling us in the lobby and hanging up, it was funny at first....<.giggle>

Tye and I are planning to attend Disney's Spirit of Aloha next week. Trying to get the group together...any followers?

So today was crazy. Got up to a hot, steamy day. Got my costumes, got paid, and got a quick service Disney Salute Pin for my lanyard. Very exciting morning.

Started to work....began a crazy day! Just had some crazy situations today. Not so many big situations as just a lot of situations that were a little off the wall, but took care of most situations in a timely matter...was rather proud of myself on the speed and efficiency....yay!

Marcelo is gonna be a daddy. He just found out! Isn't that exciting? I am very happy for him! He's a good guy!

Found out that I am closing lobby tomorrow with Tye, Jordan, Marcelo, and Anne...we are gonna have tons of fun! <.grin>

So anyways....yea tomorrow I have the same schedule so shall be an interesting day!

Today was a pretty good day overall. After talking with some friends I hadn't been in touch with for awhile and getting my new cell phone number, I headed off to work and had some good phone calls...then to the lobby.

I got to do a van run and take some guests back to their hotel. They were really nice so that was fun. Helped make some magic today so all was good. Found out John was from Atlanta...yay a fellow Georgian, he is cool.

Came home and went over to Tye's and hung out a bit with him and Juliet. Aww they made me feel so loved. They are all planning a trip to New York to visit Alex's family and they want me to come. I would love to go, just not sure if I can swing it...we shall see. I shall think on it. But nice they care enough if I am going or not. <.awww> <.grin> Thanks guys for caring!

So tomorrow I close the lobby. Hopefully it will be an excellent day. I hope!

Was woken up this morning bright and early by a next door neighbors alarm. Annoying, much? Grrr. Then, headed off to Verizon to inquire about a new cell phone plan. Came out pretty satisified...and with a new plan...so if you want my new number..email me and I *may* just give it to ya <.grin>

SO, now I am off to work. Excitement there. I am on the phones and in the lobby today. EPCOT was SO busy yesterday, wonder if today will be the same. Hmmm. We shall see. Nothing really going on today that I know of. Just work work work. Will keep you updated. Laters!

So today has been better than the preceeding days. I woke up in pretty good spirits and had a good day lounging around the better part of the morning. It was a beautiful day today...went to the grocery store then headed off to work.

Met a really nice cast member on the way into work. Kinda made me smile. Nice beginning to the day.

Work went pretty well...some computer problems but overall not so bad. So...then after work headed home feeling really exhausted...I still need to get my strength back up.

Found out the parental units cut me from their lifeline on cellphone usage, so tomorrow I am gonna go in search of getting a new plan. I have been in cellphone withdrawal for far too long anyways so this shall be a wise investment.

If anyone wants to pre-order Fifth Year Crush's full-length album just email me. It's $10 and totally worth it!

Started off the day with pleasant convos on IM. Had a nice conversation with Tom. Yay...I missed chatting with him. Good times!

So today I started walking to the office to mail some letters and check my mail, and while walking there, I got picked up (literally) by a drive by golf attendant person asking if I needed a ride. How nice was that? That never happens. So, I happily and shockingly accepted. Pretty nice of him and strange at the same time.

Amazingly enough I got three cards in the mail�.thanks guys! Amy Jo�s card came! CUTE MICKEYS! Heather�s sweet and thoughtful note! And Jessica�s card which made me laugh all the way home �Remember�<.starts singing> nobody likes you when you�re 23!� Thanks Jess! <.grin> I feel better. <.giggle>

So then, Steve came over and put my donut on so I could go get my tire fixed. You are an angel Steve. Thanks, I owe you one. Then, I head down the road feeling a little lopsided on my way to Goodyear. Yea�.hate Goodyear.

A bunch of kids is what made up the employee roster at Goodyear�.and not very nice ones at that. Basically, after being slightly on the verge of not polite and rudeness, the kid told me how long it would be and took my key. I set out to waste my time at Wal-mart (which was not a pleasant experience either) and came back to find that my tire was just then being looked at.

About fifteen minutes later, the kid comes back and says, �Carolyn you are all set� so I pay the kid, ask if he put the tire on for me, he said �of course� and I said thanks. He said my key �must� still be in the car, so I said that is fine and go to retrieve my car. Yea...apparently when saying that I was �all set� he meant they hadn�t even done anything to my tire yet. Idiot.

So�.I talk to another kid there and he said that I need a brand new tire�.look dude just patch my tire, the service that I initially asked for and JUST paid for so I can leave. Thanks. So, he did and I swear that if my tire is flat tomorrow I am going to yell at them so bad! Grr on John Young Pkwy Goodyear.

So then my faith in people dwindled even more when I went to Wal-mart. Geez, no one nice in Wal-mart today. Those commercials sure are deceiving. I had gotten Sweet Home Alabama and the dvd did not work so I went to Wal-mart to exchange it for the same exact thing, no receipt mind you, but regardless this should not be a big deal. I worked at Best Buy in Customer Service so I know how this goes.

I stand in line at their �Customer Service� IF you want to call it that. Finally get waited on and the lady is quite rude in saying simply, �Go get another then� so I go to the entertainment area and ask for assistance in locating the dvd and the lady said �where did you see it?� and I said, �I couldn�t find it, so I asked you� and she said �we must be out then� so THEN she actually looked and found one left. So she unlocked the dvd case and got it out and started to walk towards the register when I mentioned to her that I was actually needing to go to the customer service desk because I had brought the same movie back cause it didn�t work and she said �ugh!� or something along those lines. She freaking walked me up there with the dvd in her hand. I understand that if it was locked up, they have security reasons to abide by, but then it gets worse.

Upon feeling like I was an assumed criminal and not being honest about needing to return the first one, the lady went to exchange them and I know (being that I worked in customer service) that any time a customer brings back an opened cd or dvd, game, or whatnot, you MUST open the new item so they don�t go somewhere else and exchange it for something else. It is policy, so after going through all the OTHER policies, I expected them to follow through, but nope. Sent me out the door with a cellophaned copy of the movie. I was flabbergasted. Maybe not a big deal to just anyone, but I know that IF they are gonna go through that much trouble to avoid me to doing something �illegal� at least do it right all the way through. Grrr on Wal-mart.

Maybe I am just bitter at the world today cause I still feel like crap. I do feel better because I took some medicine, but I still am weak and pissed. Ah well...whatever

So this evening my roomies, friends, and I all gathered up to watch the final show of Joe Millionaire and we were pleasantly surprised and shocked at the surprise value the show actually gave us. I was expecting something completely different...so happiness. Yay for him I guess.

Yea, so going to bed now, have to work tomorrow afternoon, but the medicine I bought is making me feel better so that is good...just hope my tire is still full of air in the morning. Let us pray.

Well, woke up about 9ish and couldn't fall back asleep. Ugh! So not in the mood to be awake, but whatever. Got up....been chatting most of the morning away which is actually making me feel better. I love my friends!

Got an email from Jonathan, so glad to hear from him. Thank goodness! I feel better!

Steve is gonna help me with my tire today so that is nice. I hope it all works out with as less energy needed as possible. Nice to know he doesn't mind doing it for me. Good people around here. Good people!

Talked to Amy Jo last night! YAY! T, I got your message...want to talk to you! I will get a phone card soon! MISS YOU!

Still pretty much feel like crap...want to have like four more days off before going back to work, but tomorrow I have to go in about 3pm so at least I have the morning time off. I need to get better now. Grrrr. Very frustrating!

Gonna spend today resting and hopefully getting better...I hope!

So if things couldn't get any worse....they did. I feel like crap on top of everything as well...but I go to get in my car to buy some medicine and my tire is flat...geez. Why now? Although I am very fortunate that this did not occur while we were in Tampa...we would have been stranded for sure...and I am glad it didn't happen before or after work, cause I would have been up the creek on that one, so thankfully God held air in it till he felt the time was right to let it all out.

Thankfully, I have some good friends who are planning on helping me tomorrow with everything....granted I could take care of it myself in normal situations, but since I feel like crap ran over, I certainly don't have the energy or strength to change the darn thing myself.

So cute...my roomies can't get enough of FYC...they keep playing it over and over again, and granted it is only five songs on the EP so we are hearing the same five quite often..it's cute though...I fully support it! <.grin>

So today I have been hanging around, napping, stressing, watching My Big, Fat, Greek Wedding and just resting.....ah well....

I miss Jonathan....

Well, earlier today which has felt like forever ago really....I went to work after having a most crazy night with no sleep...basically felt like crap...could really hardly do my job, but I got through it.

I had been coming down with something the last fews days and the lack of sleep basically took it's toll on me and now I am sick as a dog and feeling like crap ran over. I prayed for my shift to end and finally it did....I came home, found my roomies blasting Fifth Year Crush (so cute!) and fell asleep for hours upon hours...to finally wake up around 11:30PMish and now still feeling like crap, but a little bit better not as tired....so just awaiting sleepyness to get back on track.

Jonathan made it home okay...so I am glad about that. Was just a bad day today looking and checking for his car at his villa and knowing...it was missing.

I have the next couple of days off so I am concentrating on recovering from this horrible and dreadful headcold...it sucks!

Okay gonna finish watching this episode of Mad About You and will try to get to sleep then. Night!

So not a good ending to an okay night. First off, the day was pretty good in just finishing errands and doing my own thing. Went to Best Buy and got Sweet Home Alabama and My Big Fat Greek Wedding as well as some blank cds....good deals!

Then, my roomies and I got all ready to go to Tampa, headed out on a road trip. Did well....hit some traffic, waved to cute boys next to us in traffic, listened to FYC, specifically Madison over and over and over again so that my roomies could learn the words <.cute> and got a tad bit lost in a very bad area (I locked my noisy doors) and called Jason to find our way back....finally we get back on track...walk miles to Twilight and then get greeted by Guy.

Had dinner with Kevin, Donavon, Jason, and Leslie...Becca and Guy stayed back and chatted and Tom was in the club. It was nice to just hang out and chat. Good and funny times!

Watched the bands....I introduced myself to Aimee's friends...they were really nice! Probably think I am a weirdo, but who doesn't? anyways...good times....on the way home from the club, Jonathan called Leslie and told us the sad news. His father was shot by the rebel group in Columbia and he was going home for a couple of weeks. I just didn't know what to say. He apparently is taking it better than I am...just looking at him makes me want to cry because I know how much his family means to him, but his beliefs rank stronger, as they should, but I just can see it in his eyes that he is hurting, but he refuses to show it. He is literally the only angel that I have known on Earth and I just can't explain it. You would have to know him to understand, but he is an incredible person and all I know is if I were in his shoes, I would not be taking it as well.

Basically, his father died protecting someone else and died a hero among our government and beyond for his work and proficiency in what he was doing. He landed the plane perfectly and died protecting another member of his crew. I just feel bad for Jonathan and his family, but he doesn't accept that and perhaps that is why I can't get closure for this incident that occurred directly to him and not even to me.

We got back from Tampa around 2AM and spent time with Jonathan until about 4AM, but we wanted him to get his start sooner than later so left him to pack for his trip home, it is now almost 5AM and I have to work at 6:45AM...no use in even trying to sleep although I know I wouldn't be able to even if I tried. So I am just feeling pooped and sad at the same time...trying to think of ways to occupy my mind before I have to head to work and listen to meaningless phone calls when I could be doing much more.

Jonathan basically has taught me a lot in just being my friend, but today he taught me more than he will ever know...about life, about love, and about friendship and support...and about belief. We may not do things the same way (he is pretty original) but he makes sense in everything that he does and I admire him so much. I can't imagine being here without him and being as happy as he makes me in just seeing him everday. All he does is give and I feel like I could never suffice in returning all that he gives. It's hard to imagine life without the people around us that we love so much....

So I guess I will just hang....

So yesterday was interesting. Basically at work, we were busy busy busy on phones for last minute Valentine's Day seating...which there were very few to begin with so lots of..."umm, yea sorry but that one is booked as well" <.grin>

We had a town hall meeting that we all attended. It was fun. Scott ran it with our managers and it was a good time of getting to know a little more about what is going on in our near future at Guest Relations. Good times. Nina spoke a little regarding my "situation" the night before...explaining that we all get new situations everday and that I did good in dealing with it. Very nice of her. She actually also gave me a fanatic card, which was really sweet. I kinda feel like I don't deserve it, but she was sweet to initiate that anyways.

So then, after work, Jonathan and I came home....he came over a little later looking a bit bleak...found out that his father's plane crashed and he doesn't know any further information. He is handling it really well....but me not so much. I just wish I could do something to make him feel better...although I know he is saying he is fine...I can just see it in his eyes that he is feeling much like how I would if I were in his situation...shocked and bewildered...and without answers...very upset. <.frown> I don't want him to leave, but he may have to...I wish there was something that I could do.

I have today off....so I ran some errands, doing laundry now and just hanging out before we go out tonight...this morning, Alex came over and we went to see if Jonathan was doing okay or if he heard anything more....he was still asleep, but I did finally talk to him, "no news is good news, right?"...we shall see my friend.

My roomies left me a Valentine from Chris <.giggle> They will soon find out that they have one from Justin and one from JC <.grin> We are too cute sometimes!

So tonight we are headed to Tampa to see Fifth Year Crush! I am excited...I haven't seen them preform in Florida since July, 2002 so this should be fun! I think they have more of a following down here, so at least maybe this time I won't be the only one knowing the words to their *N Credible songs...we shall see! My roomies are hella excited so I hope they enjoy this Valentine's Day as well!

What a day! And by "what a day!" I mean WHAT a day! Crazy day to begin with...I have had the most UPS and DOWNS I have ever had all in ONE day.

To start it all off I got to work in a pretty good mood and got to participate in a very wonderful guest service recovery. It was great! I basically got to help Cinderalla make a 4-year-old's day! I got to go on a van run to All-Star and drop something off so it was really exciting.

Then, it got evil. I was the fortunate one to receive a situation.....not good. I basically got yelled at in a very quiet tone from a guest...and it made me quite upset. I had never, up to this situation, had taken it so personally when I did nothing wrong...but this one was different. Basically to make a long story short-er, this guest was unhappy with a cast member's tone of voice and comment to him so he wanted "creative compensation" from me. To be honest, I didn't know what he wanted but in doing my best to accomodate him, he still wasn't happy so he was taking whatever hostitlity out on me. Not cool. I had to involve many managers and although they were helpful, I just broke down briefly and shed some tears. Not good, but finally he did leave semi-satisfied so that was good I guess. Made it kinda worth it in the long run, but basically I think I got semi-scammed....We never want to assume that, but I think he knew how to work the system and chose me as the victim. Not cool.

BUT...then after a cool down...I got back up again and helped others. This woman was SO happy to recieve her lost sunglasses, she was thanking me all over the place! SO excited. Then, another guest just KNEW her jacket and baby blanket had been stolen that she had already reported it, but decided to "check" at lost and found....and it was there. She felt bad for assuming it was stolen, but it seemed to revive her faith as she saw it in front of her.

Then, I had helped a guest and her crew find the buses...she had her hands full so I assisted her...and all was good. That made her very happy so it is good to know that I am helping some people....just wished others wouldn't get so mad at me for nothing that I did.

So then, I get home after a long day of crazy work, I go upstairs and on my bed is a poster of Chris, signed "Yo babe, I hope your birthday is *N Credible, Love Chris" <.grin> and an *NSYNC poster saying "Happy Birthday Carolyn" with a plate of homeade cookies and a card from Jen! Thanks yo. You are too sweet!

Then, I have calls from Kate and Tonya! So cute! Kate met JC! AHHHH! She won a ticket to see JC in LA...so she hopped on a plane and met him! You go girl! I am so excited for ya! I can't even hardly believe it! That is awesome! <.grin>

So, tomorrow I work in DRC, then I have off Friday so that is good! I am gonna go see FYC so that should be good times! Yay!

Laters all! Good night!

Today was a very good birthday for me! I went to work and had lots of phone calls. About mid-day, I was doing good with no one knowing it was my birthday when Anthony Bonds walks in and announces it to the world. Cutie! Then, Tom emailed the entire department as "Important Information" letting everyone know. Silly people! But very nice of them! Awww!

SO then, I went to the lobby and Craig made me put on the birthday button and announced to guests that it was my birthday. <.giggle> It was all very sweet! SO then I got home and my roomies had a present for me. They bought me the entire first season of Mad About You and I am watching it now. I LOVE this show! YAY! Then, Jessica called, Amy Jo called, Juliet called and Karen wrote me! Yay! So sweet! You people rock! <.grin> I feel so loved!

So after a long day of work, I am resting and I finally got my computer all set up so now I am able to chat again! It is SO nice! Also, I got my webcam to work, so I took a photo this morning of my hair....not sure if it came out very good...kinda dark, but I am gonna try to post it here anyways so you can see.

Aww today was so good. Alex called this morning and wanted to carpool, so we did. Got to work...worked...then said I have ten minutes to change and be over at her house.

She had everyone come over to celebrate. It was so nice. She baked me a cake herself including a hidden mickey and everything <.aww> SO sweet! Jane brought the snacks and they had drinks. They sang to me and took pics. So cute! So nice! <.grin> Great friends that I have. They all have off tomorrow so they were going to head on down to Miami so they wanted to celebrate tonight...that plus I have to work tomorrow. Ugh! But, still very nice of them.

We then went over to Jonathan's and he cooked us supper AND made peanut butter cookies for desert. Juliet, Jane, Gina, Jordan, Tye, Jonathan, Nick, Steve, Alex, and I all hung out and played games. It was good times.

When I got home, I checked my email and my roomie emailed me before she went to bed...a very sweet birthday message. How cute is she? <.awww> Cause she wouldn't see me in the morning time. So nice! Then, I got a letter from Emily! Awww, you guys are great! I feel loved! <.grin>

So tomorrow I have to work...but should be a good day. But geez, 23...I feel so old now...no going back I guess. Still nice to grow up with good people surrounding me. Thanks guys for making me feel special! <.grin>

Well, this weekend was fun, but full of things to do so I just now have gotten time to write about it. Friday was a good day off as well, cause I just basically hung around and did nothing. Very nice!

Saturday came and it was my mother's b-day! HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOMMA! They were on their way down here to visit me, while I was working a split shift at phones and DRC. It was a pretty good day and it went by fast. I met my parents at Coronado Springs Resort and then we headed to my villas to show them where I lived. Chester let us in, he is the best security! Love him! <.grin>

Then, I gave them their gifts and they loved their EPCOT surprise...so they could spend the day with me there on Sunday. Yay! <.grin>

After the villa tour, we headed to dinner at Chili's where we had great service and yummy food...then headed to the BoardWalk. They had fun. We had some ice cream and walked around a bit. My dad took pictures...had a good time.

I was in the merch shop with my momma and I ran into Phil. I said hello. B and Rach...he says hello! <.giggle>

Then, we watched the fireworks from EPCOT from the parking lot of the BoardWalk...so vivid from there even. Then, I wore them out for the night so they requested to head to bed. So after that, I headed back home and my roomies were getting ready to go see Big Sky, so I got ready and called Jonathan and see if anyone else wanted to go...then we headed out! Steve met us there. Good times had! I love Big Sky. They rock!

Then, on Sunday I woke up early to meet the parents for breakfast at Ihop. Excellent service...I love Florida! <.grin> Then, we DID SO MUCH from there. In short, we went to the Animal Kingdom Lodge, Property Control (good stuff), EPCOT and around all the countries, the Living Seas (where we got a backstage tour from Nick and got to see him feed the fish), went for tea at the Grand Floridian at Garden View Tea Room (very nice! <.grin>) and then headed to the Wilderness Lodge to have dinner at the Wispering Canyon Cafe. I think my parent's really enjoyed that. It was a beautiful resort! Very good choice I think. <.grin> Then, we headed back to EPCOT to see Illuminations. We had VIP seating for that <.grin> so it was cool.

I am glad my parent's got to see where I work and some of the people I work with. They got to meet Tye, Jonathan, Juliet, Marc, Don, Miko, Bethany (who is my neighbor from GR MGM and she was at EPCOT that day-exciting!), and others! It was good times!

So now I go back to work. Today I am on the phones all day, but Alex and I are gonna carpool and we work the same hours, so that will be cool. Laters all!

Well yesterday was a very productive day for me. I got lots of stuff completed! I went to EPCOT, got my costumes and my paycheck. Picked up something for the parents <.grin>, went to Midas and got my car fixed and an oil change, washed my car, went to the bank to check the funds, went to the grocery store, went shopping a bit at Downtown Disney, did my laundry and washed my bedwear, recorded my video stuff onto an actual video tape, and went to a party. All in a days work.

After all the errands and whatnot, I just hung out and relaxed, which I really needed. Kate called and we chatted! It was so good to hear from her! She was on the radio in LA requesting JC the other night, how cool is that?

I went to a party next door, pretty much full of Guest Relations Cast members from all over property, it was fun! It was loud though and I felt guilty cause my roomies were trying to sleep next door. They have a 9-5 job and weekends off, which is so off from my schedule, so it is hardly ever the same. Sad.

So today I have off again, thank goodness. I am going to pre-check in my parents at the Coronado and then head back home just to relax again today and get everything cleaned and fixed up for my parent's visit this weekend! I work tomorrow and they come in tomorrow evening, so I will get to see them right after work! Excitement!

This weekend in ATL is the All Star Basketball game at Philips. Jessica is gonna be volunteering and Stephanie is working. Sounds like a good time with all the celebs around and whatnot! Hope ya'll have fun! And...if you see Justin (which you most likely will...probably a couple other *NSYNC members as well) make sure to tell him hello for me and that I am waiting for them to visit me in Orlando! <.grin>

So yesterday was okay. I worked on the phones for an hour and then moved onto the lobby. No big issues, just more learning experiences, which is fun to embark on each and everyday. I learn something new everyday! Craig and I closed so it was good times. Not too busy so we just chatted and stocked for the most part.

I got to do my first van run yesterday. I had to go pick up a couple and take them to their car in the parking lot. Very exciting stuff. I really enjoyed doing that.

After work it was about midnight and Juliet called to go to City Walk, so we rounded up the troups consisting of Jonathan, Jordan, Jane, Juliet (and her crew) and we headed to Margaritaville, but it was CLOSED already. GRRR! Funny though cause I couldn't imagine WHY it would close an hour early...so we went to Pat O'Brians then after getting beads and then literally kicked out because they were closing, we headed out of City Walk when I ran into Dave from BlueStone Circle.

So I asked him why they were closed and he said during slow times during the week they close at like 12:40PM. Grrr...he was cute though in apologizing. It was funny cause my crew was stunned that I knew Dave. <.giggle> They really enjoyed him. As do I, as do I! Then, even more of a surprise, I ran into Woodsey and AJ! So good to see them again. I hadn't seen them in about three weeks or so. They had all come from another bar at City Walk so were just leaving then and I bugged them about why they ended before I could get there. They are so cute! AJ was like, "LOOK! It's my GA friend!" and gave me a big hug....my crew was like, "Carolyn, you got to hook us up!" <.giggle> They are cute!

After City Walk, we headed over to Juliet's place and hung out. We watched some TV, which we all seemed to be enthralled with seeing as though resort television is about all we see and that consists of a heck of a whole lot of Disney stuff and maybe three regular channels. NO MTV, NO VH1, NO TLC...very sad. So we enjoyed some regular TV for a bit, then hit the sack of pure exhaustion.

Today and tomorrow are my days off! I have SO much I need to do, so I am working on completing my huge list! Wish me luck!

Yesterday I worked on the phones and in the lobby. Wasn't so bad. Had a few little issues, but not so bad. Turned out well in a learning experience as well as a guest service benefit, so all is well.

Alex and I headed to property control this morning and I so should not have gone. I got $178.00 worth of stuff for only $45, which yes is a good deal, but too much money to spend there anyways, but it was fun! I got a couple shirts, a hat, some stationary, an EPCOT license plate (which did I REALLY need that? No! <.grin>), but good times were had!

Today I close the lobby and spend about an hour on the phones, so it should go by fast, I hope anyways. Then I have Thursday and Friday off! WHOO HOO! I am so excited about having my days off. My parents are visiting on Saturday so that will be fun too! I got one day off at least to spend with them so that makes me happy! We will be doing a lot of celebrating while they are here, so it shall be fun!

Can't wait to get all the stuff I need to get done finished with tomorrow. It will be so nice to FINALLY wash my car, get it fixed, do laundry, and go shopping (grocery store that is...I covered enough "shopping" today to last me awhile! <.grin>)

SO yesterday was interesting. On the phones again all day, but it was fun because Jonathan, Alex, Craig, Anthony, Glen, and I were all near each other to chat at downtime. So that was cool, until Theresa told Alex, Will, and I that we were gonna be the only ones with only one seasoned person there to help..but it did go okay.

After work, we all headed to Jonathan's for dinner. He made sausages (which I declined to partake in <.grin>), veggies, chips/salsa and Alex made a traditional dish that her family makes...it was yummy, but way filling. I was stuffed! Jane had brought desert and that was enough to throw me over the edge....whew! I don't have to eat for days! <.grin> And I don't think I will want to honestly!

So, after that...came home and had to get my key reprogramed...so annoying! Ah well...have to pick it up today so I can get into my house. I had a crazy dream where the housing people (for no reason at all) moved all of our stuff out into a HORRIBLE place....I cried in my dream it was so bad....but I woke up telling myself that they wouldn't do that...how pathetic am I? I love my place that much....<.giggle> What a dork I am that I have nightmares about it being taken away. <.grin>

So today is my good friend Dana's Birthday! <.grin>

So today I am working AGAIN at phones! But hopefully good times like yesterday...we shall see!

Yea so yesterday was SO busy on the phones. It was crazy....but made the day go by pretty fast I suppose...at least. Not so bad in the long run.

After work, Juliet, Tye, Jonathan, Nick, and Steve and I went on a wagon ride at Fort Wilderness. It was so much fun. We got taken through the woods to a back area near the lake by Magic Kingdom to watch the spectro magic parade that is in the water. So cool! Then, we got taken on a back stage type tour of where the horses are kept....these aren't just any horses either. These are the horses that preform in our celebrations at Disney World, so they are kinda famous. They were so cute.

Funny thing though...while we were riding through the barn and looking at all the horses, we were too enthralled with them to notice someone climbing into the back of the wagon...until he came hurrling at us with a fake (and Disney-made) sword....HA HA HA Mr....he scared the living daylights out of all of us. He thought he was funny..and he was. <.grin>

SO....after that we all came back to Jonathan's to watch A Walk To Remember and awww how cute the boys are...they cried along with me <.grin> They will probably kill me for telling that...but it was cute! <.giggle>

So today I work the phones again...hopefully a quick day. We shall see!

Today is my parent's anniversary so....

Last night was so awesome...after writing in my blog, Becca's friends came over and they were really nice. Then...we had some refreshments..followed by an unexpected visit from Jonathan! Yay! It was so good to see him, because we have both been so busy, I hadn't seen him since Thursday...I missed him!

He took one look around my room...saw the Frost and Glow and flipped. I had purchased it on a whim with my friend who's name will be protected <.grin> and had hestitated on it because of the possibility of getting terminated from Disney with green hair if I screwed it up...but Jonathan is a pro (so he says <.grin>) and he used to work for Casting so he knows the rules to follow...so...he did it! And in our humble opinion..it looks great! I really love it! Yay!

So I woke up this morning...and I am SO sleepy. I am on the phones all day today...gonna be a long day! Ah well! Maybe not so busy though. We shall see! I like work so it shouldn't be so bad! <.grin>

I am kinda bummed out lately though...maybe things will get better. I hope!

So off to work I go...<.starts whistling> <.grin>

What a crazy couple of days. On Thursday night I went over to Tye's (Reed's <.grin>) to watch Simon Burch with Jonathan, Alex, Jane, Juliet, and Tye's roomies. It was fun! Sad movie though...stayed up till about 2ish..woke up on Friday around 5ish....then just a lot of driving <.grin>

Basically a lot of driving and stress...but overall a good couple of days. I had fun. I saw Fifth Year Crush so that was good. It had been awhile and it was good to see them play again. Kevin wasn't feeling well so I felt bad for him for that. I got a chance to video tape them so that was fun too. I saw some people I hadn't seen in awhile so that was really good too. <.waves> HEY guys! You know who you are! <.grin> Stayed up until 2ish or so that night...so I was really tired!

It was fun stuff..picnic'd and everything! Yummy food! <.grin> That's all I can say about that. Then, today I went out with my roomies for dinner at Donatos...GREAT pizza! Yum! Good food these couple of days!

Yea so...just wanted to say how much I LOVE Florida...LOVE it! I am NEVER leaving! <.grin>

It has been a long day today so I am pooped. Just got back from the grocery store and I was in line getting a phone card when this man just randomly came up to me and said, "You are beautiful" and I was like, "aww, thanks" and blushed and he smiled and walked away. Yea...that doesn't happen too often, but it kind of made my day...I kinda needed that. God must have known...and sent him to me.

So anyways...tomorrow I work again...ugh! <.grin> Just kidding I like my job, but for now I just like the days off as well! Anyways...I am signing off for now! Laters....from me aka Paulette! <.grin>
