Well the past few days have been crazy. Leslie and I have been attending Margaritaville like it has been going out of style. Twice in two days...fun times. The first time, BlueStone Circle rocked our world. The second time, they weren't there...grrr. It seems they had a prior committment so we sat on the patio instead and listened to John, just a guy with a guitar, but it was fun times. Leslie's friend Jen got trashed and we all laughed at her. Good times.

Last night I finally got to hang out with Biaggio and Mikey. They are funny. They finally finished their studio work so it was good to see them for more than the two seconds that I got to before. Good times.

However, last night I got little to no sleep, good excuse, but still I am draggin today on the phones. It's all good though. I will have plenty of time to sleep this evening.

So...in DRC now...wasting away on the phones, but with good company so it's all good.

Basically, a lot of things have been going crazy in my life, but it is somehow settling down a bit. I am getting used to my living arrangements as of now. I am also trying to get a full-time position with pretty much anyone.

So that is my life in a nutshell. I will be back to add on later!

I miss you. I love you. Hope you have a wonderful birthday. I am thinking about you.

Today I worked at 6:45 in da AM yet again. Becoming a trend? I hope not. Tye was there, so it wasn't so bad. Went by rather quickly.

Got a call from Biaggio. Mikey and him arrived in O-Town today. Came to Epcot for a bit. I met them in the UK, said hello, then had to run. But it was good to see them again if only for a second.

Met the fam at Le Cellier and enjoyed a wonderful dinner. Then, we hit every country and every kid cot station for the kids to make masks. Very cute! We also seemed to hit every entertainment group throughout the world showcase. Perfect timing. Good times.

After saying goodbye to my family (they leave tomorrow) I headed on home and I am currently here about to crash. Leslie is already almost gone...and I am almost there.

I talked to J-dawg today and I miss him more than ever. I hope you have a great birthday my friend. Talk soon and thanks for the advice and ever-lifting humor. You rock!

Okay so tomorrow I work a 14 hour shift. It's gonna kill me. Wish me luck.

Yesterday I woke up at 5 in da AM to work the early mornin' DRC shift. Got off work and met my family at Epcot. Good times. They got to ride the ride I wanted them to ride. *g* Can't say more than that, but they loved it! Yay!

We headed off to Illuminations viewing and Tye was working it. Very fun! Seany was a little weary of the noise, but loved to watch the colors fly in the sky. Good times!

Came home and crashed. Woke up this morning at 6 in da AM to meet them for breakfast with the characters at DAK. That was pretty good. Don't really enjoy the whole wait-in-line for the buffet breakfast. I would much rather them wait on us like at the Princess Storybook breakfast, but it was still good.

We rode a couple of rides at DAK then headed to the Tarzan show. Billy sang in today's show and I saw Jim. Good times. I love that show!

Things are getting a bit better. Haven't really been in the Commons long enough to really to get used to it or to get annoyed with it so either way it is pretty good. Been too busy entertaining or working. Craziness though.

I haven't even gotten to take advantage of my ability to watch MTV....haven't had the time. Ah well.

Gonna rest the rest of today. I am so tired. Maybe a nap is in the plans. Then, tomorrow is Chef Mickey's with the fam and whatever they have planned.

I work the rest of the week, but Biaggio and Mike are coming into town so hopefully I will get to see them for a bit at least.

So that is my life at the moment. I will update more later!

Ugh!

That's all I have to say.

No, but really. Things have been just sucky lately. First off, yesterday I was moved from DRC to lobby on a rainy day. Can you only imagine the situations I had. But moving along, Tye is no longer in the Commons, which is a good choice for him since he is gonna be going to MK Guest Relations with Alex.

So...last night Tye and I headed over to Jane/Libby/Lowell's to help Lowell move in his stuff to their new apartment. Good times chatting with the buds. Got home late to find a party happening next door. Came home and crashed.

Woke up this morning and went to my car and discovered that some idiot(s) bent my license plate back. Hmmm. Not cool. I bent it back and it's fine, but the act of it pisses me off. Nice welcome into the Commons. AND I hit my head for the second time on our stupid medicine cabinet in the bathroom. Not happy.

It's so different here. I miss the villas. I am so spoiled and I know this, but I am just unhappy at the moment. I should feel grateful for being somewhere, I know this, but I am just unhappy.

Found out some info on my family that is not cool. Not good at all.

Kate called and found out info on the CFTC 21 and up party in Miami. Yea....looks like I am not attending. The prices are astronomical and unbelievable. Not cool.

Got up this morning to head over to the resort where my bro and family are staying to pre-check them in. That was good. Then, headed to the grocery store. It started raining just as I was bringing in my goods. Thanks.

And now I am resting before I have to head to work...again. DRC today. I work till 11pm then have to go meet my family to give them their tickets so they can get into the parks tomorrow. Can't wait to see my neice and nephew. Yay!

Jessica called and loves "Leaving Atlanta" on the new FYC CD. Don't we all my friend. Glad to know she is enjoying it!

Loved the pics JHey, keep them coming! I miss you!

Sorry this is so depressing, just very not myself at the moment and not wanting to go to work. Wonder if they will let me ER. Not happy.

Later.

Well kids, it has been a couple days. Sorry. Been working and moving out like crazy. Haven't even had time to sleep.....let alone post anything.

I have been moving into the Commons when I haven't been working and that has been pretty tough, but my managers helped me adjust my schedule to make it work better. Thanks Paul! *g*

I am now sitting in my loft at the villa with virtually nothing around me but plain walls and empty drawers. So sad. All my stuff is at the Commons, while I am sitting here in saddness awaiting the morning to come so I can check out and head out to my new home for the next couple of months. Sad, isn't it?

The really sad thing is I don't want to leave the villas. I don't mind the Commons really, but the villas are awesome. Had to say goodbye to Chester tonight. He said he is coming to the Rock and Roll Beach Club to see FYC though on July 7th so I am stoked about that! I love Chester!

Things have been so crazy. Said goodbye to Fernando and Erika today. They are going back to Brazil and it really stinks. I am gonna miss them both. I hate all these goodbyes. AHHH! *frown*

So....my bro and family are coming in on Saturday. That is gonna be fun! I can't wait to see them, however it is gonna be so tiring. I am gonna have to work and entertain, but it's so worth it to see my neice and nephew! *g*

So tomorrow, Leslie and I check out of the villas and move to the Commons. This sucks.

Had the past three days off and it has flown by. I cannot believe that I actually have to go back to work tomorrow. Ugh! K, no more thinking about that.

Been packing and spending quality time with the buds. Said goodbye to Becca last night. And then there were two.

After packing a lot yesterday and getting sad...we all went to the Ale House. Very fun! Ran into Bridget from DAK Guest Relations. She is such a nut. I enjoy her. We hung out there for quite awhile. Good times.

Today, I picked up Leslie's friend John and we headed out to watch Finding Nemo, the cutest movie ever! I highly enjoy that movie!

After the movie, took him to the airport to head on home to Texas. Good visit for him though I think.

Tonight, Leslie and I are gonna pack like there is no tomorrow, cause there kind of isn't. We have to start moving into the Commons tomorrow and have to be checked out by 10am on Friday. Can we say stressed? Why..cause we are working like crazy till then. Ah well.

I watched the video that I took of FYC and The Curve at WPB and each time I catch something new and hilarious:

-Guy winking at Biaggio while he is filming him from on stage
-Jason's dancing during "I remember"
-The nasty bouncer wanting on my video...for anything. Gross!
-Tom discussing what he is discussing *g*
-Mike's hair
-Biaggio looking...at what? *g*
-The end of The Curve's set when the whole room seems to move
-Girl who gives me death look during FYC's set. What's up wit that?
-Guy singing and being caught..then he grins *g*
-Biaggio's mullet on the big screen

Funny stuff!

Back to packing..wish me luck!

Yesterday I said goodbye to my best friend down here. I miss you already.

After a lot of saddness, Tye came over and we chatted. Good talk. Then, Becca came over to get ready for our venture out to West Palm Beach to see FYC and The Curve.

Yesterday was a beautiful day for a drive. It didn't take us too long to get there either. Very good!

Basically it was all good times like always with FYC. They put on a great show. I videotaped it and it turned out pretty good. Becca took pics and I posted some on my FYC page if you wanna check them out.

The sound was excellent at The Kelsey Club. All the bands rocked it out. A pretty big crowd showed up too. It was weird though, cause the front of the "club" looked more like a business establishment with a lounge, but pictures in the window of bands and the owner. Example: Mike from The Curve was present in one of the photos. It was cute, but random. We found out quickly the entrance to the "club" was in the back. *g*

FYC's CD, Wearing This Life, is now out and it rocks! \m/ I love it! Waiting Room is my favorite on the album, but it is really hard to choose a favorite to be honest.

It was my first time seeing The Curve and they really stood out. I was impressed. They put on a great live show. Reminded me a lot of Big Sky, but a bit better in my opinion. *g* Lots of audience participation and rockin on stage. Check out The Curve pics on my new About The Curve Page

Aimee and her boyfriend Ryan attended the show as well so good times hanging with everyone. Becca and I were exhausted after the show so we hooked up with them and shared a room. Definitely was an enjoyable time! Came back today without seeing a hint of the beach of West Palm, but good times nonetheless.

Oh I am *so* exhausted, but I plan on resting today, then the next two days I have off to hang out and get ready to pack for my big moving days coming up. Saddness.

Just got home from the phones. Interesting. I just got off the phone from dining a priority seating for Mr. Lou Pearlman. Interesting. Not gonna say where or when, but just found it interesting. I gave him information on dining as well as ticket information. He was nice to me.

Mucho excited about tomorrow. Can't wait to go to West Palm Beach tomorrow. I can't wait to get out of here for now.

Talking to Jen about the *NSYNC weekend! So excited! I can't wait until the end of July. Miami bound we are!

Oh goodness. These past few days have been filled with drama, saddness, crying, and craziness. Everyone has been leaving...slowly but surely enough. I have cried myself to sleep the past two nights. Not good.

Jonathan is leaving tonight. Not happy.

We have been busy moving everyone into their new places and moving people out of their villas. Sad times. I don't want anyone to leave...ever. You would think by the third time doing this I would get the hang of it. Nope. Just gets harder and harder.

I am going away this weekend and I am so excited about it. I can't wait until I get out of this saddness and into something to take my mind of everything that is going on here.

So...things will get better, but right now they are just sad.

One funny thing did occur tonight. Chiyacho came up to me and said randomly, "I didn't know Jordan was apart of the red-shirt club" SO CUTE! I laughed forever! At least something made me smile today! Miss you Jordan. How is Alaska?

Tonight I am sitting here with Juliet at our cubicles awaiting dining calls and giggling like two school girls to keep from crying over the people we aren't gonna see the next few months.

Today I got my new ID. Staying till September. Yay. The next four days are my off days. I cannot wait. I am SO ready to rest and catch up on tons of things I haven't been able to do cause of lack of time.

I also have to pack. I am moving into the Commons on the 18th. Craziness.

Don't want to go home, cause then I have to say goodbye. Can't tonight just last forever?

I just got back from having lunch with Juliet and Kevin *just* beating the rain. It is currently pouring right in front of me. Like pouring. Hard. I love rain!

Have I mentioned how much I love Orlando? I love it! My friends are all leaving me though. That is the only part that really sucks. Melanie and Laurent are moving to Ohio. Jordan is already home in Alaska. Jonathan leaves in a few days. Cory said goodbye today at my window. Becca goes back home this weekend. Saddness.

BUT, lots of people are staying too. So that is happiness. The rain is slowly calming down now. I am about to be all by myself at Gateway. That is the best. Very calming and silent for the most part. I love it!

Got to see something new and exciting today. No fear, you too will see it soon. But more on that later <.grin>

Back to watching the rain. So soothing.

So yesterday was pretty packed at work and at home. When first getting to work we all had to go to a Town Hall meeting. It went well and it also went long. <.grin> Finally, I got to work a bit at the window and then after that straight to DRC.

After work, headed home to help Libby and Jane move into their new pad. It's nice. I am excited for them! Everyone pulled together to help them move too. It was good times.

So after getting home about 3AM, I finally got to sleep and relaxed a bit. Then, woke up this morning just in time to get ready for work. UGH! However, I did find out that I have a four-day weekend coming up this weekend! Happiness. *When* does that happen? "Do people *do* that?" <.giggle> Sorry....had to!

So this weekend is FYC and The Curve at West Palm Beach and it looks like it's just gonna be Becca and I attending. It shall be fun! My first trip to WPB as well so it should be good times!

Today, I am working Gateway and it's fun so far. I have yet to wait on one guest. <.starts singing> Doing Slow Time! Great fun! Tonight I am not sure what is going on, but I am sure it is something.

Oh goodness. Since I last posted...lots has been going on.

First of all...Happy Birthday to Leslie and Jen! Both of their birthday's were yesterday and I am late in shouting them out on my blog, but HAPPY BIRTHDAY GALS nonetheless. Hope they were great! *g*

Secondly, Jordan is now gone back to Alaska and it feels like a part of me is gone. Next in line is Jonathan to go and I don't think there will be a lot of me left when that is done. <.frown> Not good. He leaves in a week. A week.

Work has been crazy. I have been closing...like usual and I have not been productive at *all* during the day because I have been trying to get some sleep. Craziness over here. Craziness.

Let's see...what's been going on. We had a goodbye desert party/sleepover for Jordan just to chat and go over everything that has been going on for us as a group. It was good times! Sad...but good. Then the next morning, everyone had to go to work, so I took Jordan out to breakfast. Good times to chat and bond. Then...he left.

Next day, went to pick up Leslie and Ting from the airport with Tye and Becca. Fun stuff. Ting had gone to NY and Leslie to TX, but they had the same time of arrival. Good call.

Got a call from Tom. Good to hear from him! I will see ya this weekend buddy!

I absolutely cannot wait until this weekend. I am gonna relax in West Palm Beach with *no* drama allowed. No drama! Too much of it these couple of weeks. All I want to do is lay on the beach, see my bands that I love, and relax. Happiness! Can't wait!

So now onto work...again. I shall try to keep up more with posting...even in busy times. I know how important it is for me to write about it all..especially when it is all coming to an end with all my buds leaving and all. Thanks for listening.

Drama!

Yesterday morning was awesome. Jonathan and I had the best experience. We got to participate in the Epcot Aqua Tour and it was incredible. I have never been scuba-diving or anything like that before and it was amazing.

After seeing Finding Nemo, I was pretty pumped to swim with the likes of Crush "dude!" Mr Ray "jump on!" and little Nemo and friends. The Sea Turtle swam RIGHT next to me all the way up to gasp for some air and then right back down again. Very cool! <.grin>

Jonathan and I got our picture taken in our scuba gear and got a t-shirt as well that says we participated in the program. It was very cool! Great start to a depressing day.

After the tour, we got caught in the pouring rain. That part was pretty fun too, because we couldn't have cared less about getting soaked, cause we kinda already were from the tour, so we played in the beautiful sunny rain drops and right when we drive two minutes away from Epcot, the rain stops.

We go home and while Jonathan prepares for the party, I take a nap. I was beat. I finished all my errands that I have needed to take care of for a couple of weeks now, then rested.

Then, party time. I went to pick up Jordan and then came back to a full house already. Good times for the most part at the beginning. Seeing Kimbr, John Cunningham, Paul, Libby, Jane, Bethany, Jonathan, Tye, Becca, Lowell, Ann, Todd, Jordan, Alex, and more just made my evening. I love my friends. I fully appreciate them even more after last night. I am sorry Leslie didn't make it to the party, but she wouldn't have enjoyed the end of the evening...as most of us did not as well.

Drama. And that is all I have to say.

So...this morning I woke up feeling really sick...from last night's activities and what occurred there. So Becca was like, "Let's go relax at the pool and forget about it all." Too bad all the bad that occurred the night before followed us to the pool.

Not happy.

I feel extremely sick. Like I can't breathe. I am at work now, sitting next to my dear friends Tye and Jane and hoping I can get through this day fast....I can't wait until next weekend. I can't wait!

Yesterday, we all got off at work and headed over to Tye's for the evening. Libby, Jane, Jonathan, Lowell and I hung out there for awhile then travelled back to Libby's to hang out the rest of the evening...where we fell asleep in numerous positions....<.grin> Fun times.

We all individually left at different times throughout the night, going back to our own rooms. I went to sleep (techincally) around 4AM only to be woke up by Libby at my door ready to go to our Princess Storybook Breakfast booked for this morning.

Yes, you heard right! Jane, Libby, Juliet, and I dined with the Princesses this morning. Very exciting stuff. Enjoyable times had by all! Pictures all over the place! Good food, nice waiter! It was fun! Walked out stuffed!

Came home really tired! Took a nap and then got ready for work. Currently in DRC, while all my buds went home on an ER...and I am stuck here, but with knowledge that tomorrow is my day off so happiness for that! <.grin>

Talked with Biaggio last night *finally*. Phone tag can get crazy. He hurt his back. <.frown> Hope he feels better by next weekend!

Tonight is PI! Happiness...then tomorrow is full of fun activites! Cannot wait! Talk later!

Yesterday was crazy at work yet again. I am getting warn out man. I haven't had a day off in quite awhile and boy am I needing one. My next day off is Friday, but it is full of activities. I am doing the Aqua tour at Epcot in the morning to swim with Nemo and friends <.grin> and then Jonathan's dinner party is later that evening. Very excited about both, but leaves less time to rest and catch up on my errands and stuff. Ah well.

Yesterday I got to participate in something *so* very cool, but I can't share. <.grin> But it was AWESOME! Just so you know! <.giggle>

Karen is now officially a Floridian! Whoo hoo! Welcome home! Good times already. I love it that practically everyone I know is eventually coming down to Florida...just takes everyone awhile to get here. That's okay...I will wait! Amy Jo...you are next...then you Kate! <.grin>

Today is work...again! Closing DRC. I am *so* sleepy though...I hope I can make it! Tomorrow is the same story then Friday is my busy activity day! Should go by fast...so I have to appreciate it while it is here.

Jocelyn called me last night from the Tony Lucca show in New York! Happiness! "Can't you seeeeee, can you seeeee" <.grin> LOVE HIM! Thanks Jocelyn! Talk soon.

Back to work! Later all!

Yesterday was work as usual. I was in the lobby then in DRC. Not too bad of a day at all...I was just really tired though. <.shrug>

After work, came home to a full house. Everyone was in my living room waiting on me. Leslie, Becca, Libby, Anne, & Jonathan, all getting ready to head over to Jane's for her Truth or Dare movie party. We went to grab Tye and headed over to Jane's to meet Lowell as well. Craziness that movie. CRAZINESS!

It wasn't a "scary" movie persay, but it was just gross...and strange. I highly do *not* recommend it, but thanks Jane for a funny time! <.grin>

So today I work in the lobby all day long. It pretty much is my life now...closing something, whether it be DRC or the lobby <.grin> Ah well. Such is life.

I *am* excited to go to work today though cause I get to do something during my lunch break that is pretty special, but unfortunately I cannot mention it yet. Perhaps at a later time though! <.grin> YAY!

Tonight is normally Jelly Rolls, but I am not sure I am up for it. I think I have been going out too much lately...I need *some* sleep don't ya think? hmmm, I guess I will ponder that...I *do* have the rest of my life to sleep. <.giggle> Talk later!

Just wanted to give a shout out to Jason on his birthday! I hope you have a great day! <.grin>

Yesterday was fun. Good times at work. Lowell came and worked with us last night which was fun times. After work, Jane, Lowell, Libby, Tye and I all went for a midnight swim. Good times, except I am not feeling so well today. My throat hurts like no one knows...not good. I really hope I am not coming down with something. Working at DRC daily does strain your voice...so I am *hoping* it is just sore instead of the first sign of a cold or something worse..cause it always does start with my throat hurting. Ahhh! I can't get sick!

Today I work the closing shift *again* half lobby, half DRC...so lots of throat candy for me today! <.grin> We shall see how it goes. Nothing planned for this evening amazingly enough...but I will let you know tomorrow.

So the past few days have been crazy! On Friday night, Jonathan, Jane, Jordan and I went to see Finding Nemo and saw everyone there! Juliet, Lowell, Cory, Brandy from MK as well as the Epcot Rescue Rangers and more. It was a theater full of Cast Members. It was the best movie! So funny!

I worked yesterday in the lobby, which was one of the best days ever. Although it *was* completely crazy the entire day. We were so busy and really short-handed. The day went by really fast though because of that. I did two van runs, a walk to the turnstiles, and wheelchaired a guest to her car with a broken ECV. It was a crazy day. Upon that...had many situations in the lobby, but nothing we couldn't take care of. So all was good.

I made some magic last night. I must share. A woman came to me about a lost bag earlier in the day and while explaining what was in it, she just started crying saying "I'm sorry, I'm sorry" My heart fell for her. I asked her what was wrong....(cause afterall it *was* just a child's bag that she lost filled with an autograph book, a walkie-talkie, a wallet with a very few amount of dollars in it, etc that *could* be replaced) and she went on to explain that it hasn't been such a good vacation for her family. This bag was her 11-year-old cousin's bag and her name is Anna. She is hearing impaired and has been ill pretty much the entire trip and this was just the breaking point.

She mentioned that they went to seven character breakfasts' to get all the autographs in her autograph book and it was really heartbreaking to loose it. So, my co-cast members and I decided we would get her information and try to replace that at least. I got her info and didn't make any promises, but that we would do our best and get it to her in a few days, since she was leaving to go home the next day.

I got an autograph book and had all my character friends sign it for Anna. Mickey even signed her name in the front of the book! *g* Well, the night goes on and I see Anne with her bag. It was *her* bag! I got so excited and knew it would make their night as well, so I asked if I could take it to her. They said okay so I called over at their resort to ask if I could visit and they said yes. I had just said that I wanted to bring Jennifer something with no promise of having the bag.

After getting a *little* lost in the resort <.grin> I finally found their room. I hid the bag behind the wall so they couldn't see it when they opened the door, but could see their *new* autograph book. Jennifer answered the door and her face kinda dropped when she saw that I didn't have the bag in my hand. I asked if Anna was there and she got her. Although she is hearing impaired, she could read lips well, so I told her that Mickey was so sorry she had lost her bag that he got all his buds together to sign a new autograph book for her. Although she seemed a bit sad at this thought because they were expecting the bag. So, I quickly said "oh and Mickey wanted me to bring you this as well" and whipped around the bag from the wall. The happiness on that child's face was more than I can explain. Yes, it was *just* a bag, but that entire family had been searching for it the entire day and it was the breaking point so to see it again in all it's entirety made them *so* happy.

There were about ten family members huddled in the small walkway of the resort room, taking pictures of me and Anna and the family with the bag <.giggle> It was *so* cute! They invited me in the room, I had them fill out some paperwork and while that was going on, Anna sat on the bed with her new autograph book and then began to see the new exciting autographs she had received. She got so excited with Mary Poppins, who she hadn't been able to get as well as others. Very cool! She was *so* cute...she came up and gave me a big hug! <.grin>

They thanked me and when I was leaving Anna's mom turned to me and said "You *made* our vacation!" And that was my cue to leave cause the tears were coming. <.grin> What a great day at the lobby. I love my job!

So that was my magical moment for the day! Today I will be in DRC...lack of making magic there, but we do our best! <.grin> Biaggio comes back into town today to go to the studio again. Shall be an interesting day!
