I love *NSYNC...just a thought! *grin* They make me happy no matter what! Good to depend on that.

After I went to breakfast with the crew at Donald's Breakfastsaurs and went to work I was worried all day about my costume because I didn't have time to go and find the *perfect* cowboy hat for my costume, but when I called to bail on Tye and peeps because of it, he said, "NOPE, you are *not* bailing. We found you the perfect hat!" YAY! It *IS* perfect AND it was ONLY $5. How they did that, I have no idea..and it wasn't used! YAY! Even better. It is bendable, doesn't look cheap, the color I wanted, and looks hot! They rock..good friends I have..good friends!

So last night was hilarious. The group looked hot! Tye was a British guest..with his 10-day world pass and HUGE voucher, cause he wanted to book at Character breakfast...(very funny..and probably *only* funny to Guest Relations Cast Members). Jane was a *CUTE* flapper, Libby was a lepracon (not sure how to spell it-sorry <.shrug>), Lowell was a scary mask guy (no name for it) with a silver mask, black suit, silver tie. It was nice on him! And of course I was just a plain "cowgirl"..but it was hot! *grin*

So...we showed up at Joey Boone's (yep..at his house but no Joey Boone in sight..his roomies were housing it while he is still in LA)..and everyone is in costumes..SO cute, but I don't know who *anyone* is, partly because they are all in costume and not in plaid (it was all Guest Relations from all parks), and partly cause I didn't know half of them anyways, but we see (or hear) Andrea first and then go around trying to figure out who everyone was. It was cute! I only really knew the people I came with, Juliet, Alex, Andy Ryback (HILARIOUS costume), Bob Pattee (SCARY/freaky costume), and Andrea. So cute though!

Bob Pattee freaked me out! He went in a mask with the hands in tact..and was wearing all black and DID not take off his mask for the good part of the night...wanting to show his mystery. He kept on egging on everyone and I get a bit freaked out when I don't *know* who is inside the costumes...especially the freakier ones. He played with me a bit and went outside and would just stand by the window at the door looking at me standing inside...freaky. After awhile he took off his mask and came up to everyone showing it was him and he goes "Hey Cowgirl, freak you out a bit, didn't I?" *giggle* He was cute though!

Went outside to the pool area to see who was out there and I didn't see anyone I knew..so I was just talking with my group and I hear, "Hi! I'm Lance Bass" and I looked over and it was Andy Ryback in a HULU Skirt, wig, and Hawaiian costume...he grabbed his ukelele and started bending his body back and forth while strumming it. He was a dashboard hulu girl! SO CUTE! And NO Andy, I was *NOT* Lance Bass...I was *suppose* to be the "Don't tell me to stop" Madonna but it ended up just being a cowgirl...It was good times, but it was a tiring day for me, so when we got home I crashed!

Woke up this morning a bit later than I should have, but still made it to work in time. Yay! *grin* Did DRC and then trained Greg in DRC...then went to viewing and it was good times. Jane came and quizzed me on VIP information. I did have a situation where I had to get assistance, but the guest was okay and it was all good. No one came to my viewing area so I got to open it up for all the guests and there were no problems with that, so all was good.

I am *so* excited cause I have been waiting all month for this weekend! *yay* Tomorrow Kevin and friend are coming to hang out at Epcot. Jessica is flying in. Gonna meet up with Amy Jo and Leslie...and possibly Nick! YAY! The parks and Margaritaville are for tomorrow. West Palm Beach is for the weekend with THE CURVE! And all is gonna be hella fun and I cannot wait! Happiness!

YAY! Can NOT wait! I will chat after the weekend I am sure so keep checking in!

I hope your b-day rocks daddo! I miss you and love ya! See ya real soon!

Today has been a pretty eventful and good day. Started it off with waking up at the break of dawn (aka 8AM-AHH)-thanks roomie-to go to the <.starts talking in British accent> character breakfast at Donald's Breakfastosauras. *giggle*

Went with Tye, Libby and Jane. It was good times. Our waitress rocked. She *almost* spilled ketchup all over Jane..well kinda anyways..she had a trick ketchup bottle and squeezed out a red string that made us all jump..as if it were real. So funny.

Got our pics with Mickey and friends...good times.

Came to work at the DRC...was going to train someone today, but she didn't show up so I kinda worked on other activities before I actually got another cast member to train. It was good times!

Had my one-on-one with Nina. I adore her. I learn more things from her everyday and she made me feel better about my "situation" that I had the other night, mostly just in letting me know that it has happened to her before as well...then I didn't feel so helpless, stupid, or like a failure.

Nina gave me my year end review. It went well. Then, we headed back to work and I assisted with a van run for Nina..then back on the phones. The phones were really slow today though so I got lots of work-related stuff done. YAY.

I am suppose to attend the first of the Halloween events for my weekend schedule tonight, but I don't have all the factors of my costume as of yet, so I am not sure that is gonna work out as well as originally planned.

Tomorrow, I am gonna do DRC then viewing and then starts my wonderful weekend! I am so excited.

On Friday, Jessica comes in! YAY! Kevin and peeps may come to play at the parks. *crosses fingers* Not sure of that as of yet..we shall see, but would be fun if so.

THEN..on Saturday we are going to WEST PALM BEACH to see THE CURVE! Happiness. Gonna be good times. Of course it is the Halloween show so we are dressing up as well..so I HAVE to have my costume, in FULL, by then...oh I hope..I hope..I hope.

JHEY...talked to Theresa...answer is not yet, but working on it.

Nina got an AWESOME honor...but I am keeping it underwraps till it's announced, but CONGRATS!! You rock!!

Going to hang this evening...we shall see what will come up! Ugh..I am so full...need..to..sleep.

Well the past few days have been crazy, but got better. Sorry my last post was so depressing, but I needed to vent and it helped. The next morning, I was still a bit upset...but once I got started on my tour, all was well again and I loved my job again. I just needed to get away from the lobby area and in a place of happiness within myself and it was great!

My tour rocked..yet again! I had fifteen inquistive minds and interested people. A lot of the tour was having to make due with some unexpected events, but we did have some good surprises as well. We got to stay in an executive room rather than the trailer for our cultural representative presentation with Jean-Philippe and he rocked!

It went well and I got some great responses from the guests! Yay. Good times.

After the tour, Cindy let me ER, thank goodness. Came home and ate and showered, then got ready to go to the shadowing at DAK.

Headed over to the Cast Services. It was so exciting to get backstage clearance to my old stomping grounds that I used to have to walk or ride a bike to get to, but this time I was driving on through. So nice to be VIP for a change. *grin*

Met with Ashley, who was the Event Manager and she rocked. From the very beginning, she was professional, but comforting and friendly. I enjoyed her! Then, I met Toni who was so approachable and fun! I really liked their team! Erika was just joining them from Epcot Events so we were both kinda like the shadowers for that night.

It was an event for H & R Block and it was crazy. I seriously walked..and sometimes ran the ENTIRE night, but it was exciting and a thrill. I really loved the experience and loved all the *drama* and good things that occurred.

So it was a crazy day...leaving me tired and beat...I came home and crashed just to end up waking up a bit later than I should have for work...but still got to work early. That's me! *grin*

So I got to the D-R-C and met my trainees. They were cute. One from MKGR, MGMGR, and one Epcot VP so it was good times. They were all great and did so well, I basically didn't have to do much. Made my day better! They were fun to talk with and get information from other parks and areas so it was an all-together informative day.

Theresa was so cute! Sometimes I just need a smile and she gives it to me! So cute! "3 o'clock WAVE!"

Get done with work and head home to meet up with Leslie and Amy JO to go shopping for Halloween stuff. Didn't do too well on the costume, but did get a cool jean skirt. *giggle* I got a piece of my costume, but not the main piece yet so we shall see how that goes.

So Tony Lucca is coming for even more days than the two original ones. YAY! BUT I still might not get to go to all of them...grr..

Came home and got to spend some time with the roomie...who is freaking out at the moment. He's so cute!

Check out The Curve's website for some new photos...they take some time to go through, but most are worth it. Hot photos!

Tomorrow I am going to a "character breakfast" with the roomie and buds...and then training again in the DRC...pretty much all day. Then there is a GR halloween party tomorrow night I might be going to...we shall see.

I am upset. Very. This is my only real way of venting..and I can't even begin.

This is my first experience in actually breaking-down because of work. I had been learning how to not take things personally and not let things affect me this way, but after a 14 hour day and an upsetting ending all piled up on weeks of me "not taking my job personally", I broke down.

I am upset.

I only wish the people who really needed help, got help. And the people who don't could just go away. But who is to judge? Certainly not me. Lesson well learned. Oh well. What am I here for?

I just don't think it's right. Why do I have to have a conscience? Why do I have to believe in right and wrong? Why can't I just not care?

Apart from my breakdown....today was a long day. Getting at work at 8:30 in the morning and staying until 10:15 with hardly a lunch, but a good one (thanks Maryann!) and hardly any breaks...just a hard day.

Tomorrow I have a tour, so I took a bath and got as mentally prepared as I could and I plan on heading to bed soon to anticipate my early wake up call in the morning and being the day as a character in my tour role..."A Happy Carolyn"

Just not happy. Why can't I be happy? It's like I strive to do the best to my ability, but it's still not good enough. Not good enough to be supported and not good enough to stand my ground.

I am going to bed. Too upset to sleep though...I will try..Geez...why can't I just not care?

We shall see how it goes...

Yesterday was crazy. Worked the help desk again and it was crazy like usual, but good times.

Funny that I get stopped a LOT about my *NSYNC lunchbox, yes folks...I said an *NSYNC lunchbox. And I have come to expect it, but it was really funny yesterday when a cast member that I didn't know asked me about my lunchbox when I didn't even have it WITH me. That was weird.

Weird.

Got a call from JOEY BOONE! Yay. He is coming back in November! Yay. He was "on set" when he called for an upcoming movie so sounds like things are good for him. I miss my lunch buddy! *grin*

So then...after work I went home to change and then meet Amy JO at Margaritaville where I actually had to PAY to get in. Can you believe it. Ugh...that sucked. So it was crazy busy, but Michael was back so I was happy. And guess what else was back? The SPEED FIDDLE! HAPPINESS! He even fiddled on someone like he used to. Not on me or Amy JO granted, but my dreams are still kept alive. I have been waiting since 2000, I can wait a bit longer.

AJ was funny last night. He just kept laughing on stage. He cracks me up with his smile. Michael was even playful last night as well..and he wasn't toasted at all. Good times. He noticed me checking out his fingers while playing the guitar...he probably thought I was looking at something else. Ha! *giggle* Maybe I was...just kidding.

Talked to Kevin and they might be coming up to visit this weekend! *crosses fingers* We shall see...

Today has been crazy, yet again, at the help desk. My tooth still hurts...not happy, but life does go on...even if I am in pain the entire time. Ah well.

Got to visit Juliet at the Terrace today and meet a Chef by the name of John who cracked me up. So full of life and jumping around talking so fast about everything. So cute and an adorable accent. Cutie!

My tooth hurts. Bad.

My wisdom tooth has been coming in for quite awhile now, but as soon as I started looking at my benefits options, it has been coming through hard core and totally killing me. My mouth feels swollen and is in pain everytime I move my mouth, eat, talk, swallow, or anything. Not cool.

Yesterday was a pretty good day at work. Not too many problems (at work at least), thank goodness. But crap hit the fan elsewhere, but that won't be discussed on here. Everything will be okay. I have faith.

So I completed all my benefits stuff so I feel really good about all that, but I had to choose my doctors...online and right then and there. I feel like I need to go and interview each one though instead of just choosing them because of their location or name. So weird. But I can change those at anytime so that is good to know. All I know now is that my tooth hurts and the quicker I can make an appointment, the happier I will be.

I am very thankful right now. Very thankful for my life...my choices...my car (that, yes, is still chugging along *grin*), my friends, my family (who is so incredibly supportive), my job (thank GOD for benefits and full-time status), and for my living area. I am VERY thankful....it will be perfect once I get these stupid wisdom teeth out and find *that* guy...then I will be perfect. *grin*

Brad is afraid that when they take my teeth out...all my wisdom will be gone. Ha ha HA! You are too funny kid! *giggle*

Nina wasn't haven't too good of a day either, but I think her's will get better! No fear my friend..Grease is coming up soon! *giggle* That will solve everything! *grin*

I love listening to Christmas music at all times of the year. Some people (Kate) think I am crazy for doing so...but *NSYNC's voices can make me happy anytime...and this *is* my favorite CD from them. They rock and they make me happy so there you go. *grin*

This upcoming week is gonna kill me. I have mostly all morning shifts and ya know I ain't crazy about them...*grin* and I am doing a tour as well as shadowing an event that same night, but that will be good times! (side note: I got JOCELYN saying "Good Times" on HER blog! Yay!) But I start off the week with a 13-hour day...gonna be a crazy week! I just hope my tooth stops hurting..can't it just disappear?

Margaritaville tonight hopefully with AMY JO! So that will be good times as always...I get off work late, but I will catch up with her later there. Nice!

Got a lot done today. I woke up in the afternoon though. Felt nice to sleep in again. Yay.

Went to mail some letters then stopped by our Federal Credit Union. Very excited about that. Will be good for me to start saving!

Been looking over my benefit information today and although it still confuses me, it is getting better. *grin*

Watching Bye Bye Birdie cause I woke up singing the theme song. Weird, I know. Hmm..

So, my wisdom teeth are coming in full-force. Geez...kinda painful which is making me appreciate my benefits a lot more.

Oh well...life goes on.

So I am now offically a Florida resident. Yay!

Got up around noon (*giggle*) and called Leo. Went to pick him up so we could go buy our Grease tickets for November. Mr. Joey Fatone is starring in it, so yea...I *have* to go. Yay! We get to the ACT III Studios and there are Joey pictures *everywhere*. It was an *NSYNC fan's dream! So...perfect for me! *grin* Bought our tickets and headed to lunch at Philly Connection. Leo loved it. His first *real* cheesesteak! Yay!

Took Leo home and I came home to get all my car stuff and went to head out on an adventure in finding the darn place. After finally finding the place...I got a number to wait for my tag/license stuff. This nice lady told me to get my license first and then get my tag so I got a different number for that line and waited...and waited...and waited. Takes awhile to become a "resident" *giggle*.

So then, I had to take a test to get my Class D license just in case I get to interview to be a VIP tour guide...so I did and let's just say I am VERY upset about my license photo. VERY upset. Do you have to ZOOM in and MAKE me take off my glasses. I hope to goodness that I *DO NOT* look like that in real life. I was almost in tears...

And then for my signature, they make you use a pencil so it comes out looking so thick & bad on the license...like a twelve year old's signature...gross! UGH!

Then, went back to the nice lady for the tag and she was upset that the other lady did not do my tag along with my license, but anyways...she did it was awesome about it. I liked her. *grin* So then after three hours...I was a Florida resident. Exciting stuff.

Stopped by the grocery store to get bleach for my brown clothes...and with Tye's help my clothes are now a soft yellow. Not as bad as brown, but still...ugh!

Watched Six Feet Under with Tye..then Tye fell asleep (typical) and I cleaned up my room a bit and organized while watching Mr. John Mayer's DVD that I oh-so-love-so-much! *grin*

Juliet stopped by and we chatted a bit! Then, we all hung out for awhile and listened to the "Wishes" music and made food and goodies.

Now, listening to my boys sing Christmas tunes and it is getting me in the holiday mood. I am so enjoying their angelic voices. I love them! I miss the old school *NSYNC boys that I loved so much...it's grown to a more adult love, and that is all fine and good, but I miss the old days...*sigh*

Tomorrow is again another off day! Yay! I am gonna finish up on some other important items and get some stuff done and then rest! Very excited to have another day off! Yay.

Good times, good times...."NO, not really Josie" *giggle* What a day! Ugh. Crazy day!

Basically got up in time to get ready for work. Went to work and it was just crazy. Lot's of things to do and although the day went by really fast, it wasn't the smoothest of days cause there was so much drama, but it was all good. TONS of van runs...the van is my haven. *grin* It was okay though. Went to Fort Wilderness and thought, "WHO DOES THAT?" Weird...but got it done and all is well now.

I am really excited cause today was my Friday so I have the next two days off. I am even more excited about all the events going on in the near future, but also a little worried cause I have so many things planned and really not enough funds for it all, so we shall see. Hmm...

Tomorrow I have to look into getting my car stuff (tag, title, license and all that good stuff). Wish me luck!

Finally saw my roomie. Haven't seen him in days *giggle*

Things are going well. Just tiring and crazy, but life generally seems to be that way in Florida. I would rather be here and have things be crazy then in Georgia with nothing going on at all. That would suck!

Parent's may be visiting next month. Yay! Happy news!

Onto bed now...exhausted.

Good times! *giggle* Went to work today and it was a pretty good day. Nothing as crazy as I thought would happen. Food and Wine is up and running and LOTS of questions/concerns with that, but for the most part all was well.

Worked with Leo (my future fiance *grin*) and he rocks...made my day better and funny cause we both have sore throats with hardly a voice at all (and we were both the ones answering the phones) Funny stuff.

Maryanne didn't know I had an online journal. *waves* Welcome! I am actually making her and Nina a mixed cd of all my joyous bands right now. Good times! *giggle*

Talking to Kevin now...while he explained why he bailed this weekend...good excuse? It will do. *grin* Love ya kid...just giving ya a hard time "Mikey" *giggle* USE YOUR PHONE! *grin*

EAST-SIDE TO WEST-SIDE I love this song! GO BIG SKY!

So I am doing laundry and oops..my new pants are really brown and they turned all my clothes brown or browner...sucks! I am pulling a Rachel...or was it a Ross? Rachel right?. Geez...I suck. Need bleach...bad! Don't laugh...NOT funny. *giggle* okay kinda funny.

Tomorrow I have to run a few errands and then go to work. Same ole, same ole. Good times!

Good times! Sorry I haven't updated lately...yea I talk the talk to my other friend's, but I can't even hold up my own end. I got the point JHey! *g*

It's been some good times though. I shall go back a bit. My sister was in town this past week so we met for lunch on Wednesday and ate at Wolfgang Puck's and shopped around Downtown Disney a bit before I had to head to work. Work was crazy as usual, but good. I feel like I am really needed and wanted at the Help Desk. It's good times per usual, and always keeps me on my toes.

I had off on Thursday to spend with Shannon. We hooked up when she was done with her convention stuff and she came to see the apartment. I showed her my bands *g*. She really likes their music...she's got good taste. "I really think FYC has a lot of talent" Yep...I know.

Went to the Beach Club to eat dinner at Beaches and Cream. It's such a cute little soda shop. It was good. Then headed to Epcot cause she had never been before. I think she really was surprised. "Isn't Epcot just the big ball" Oh I had much to teach her! *giggle* We went on Spaceship Earth and Mission:Space (in which she laughed the entire time!) then headed to get our spot for Illuminations:Reflections of Earth. She really enjoyed that I think the most.

After Epcot we headed over to Margaritaville to meet up with Amy JO! It was good times. Unfortunately Shannon had been there the night before with her convention people so it wasn't really a new thing to her, but she enjoyed BSC so that was good! We left fairly early cause my sis had to wake up early the next morning, but good times! Amy Jo's old band player, David was playing since Michael wasn't there for some reason. She was happy! He *is* a hottie.

On Friday, I met Amy Jo for lunch at Flipper's Pizza (good stuff!) and then we went shopping at El-Gapo (The Gap) Outlet where I got the cutest jeans! SO cute! We headed back so she could meet her cousins and I could meet my sis. Went out to Target where Shannon bought me tons of stuff (Thanks sis!) and I got new shoes, new belts, food, and all kinds of goodies. Yay! In Target, Shannon was trying to get a very large Tuppermaid box down from the top shelf (she is tall) and she went to pull them down and they slipped so she just put her arms down and it toppled down and fell all over the floor. Thank God no one was hurt, but oh so funny and oh so LOUD. Then, when we came out of my apartment from dropping off my stuff on the way to dinner, we saw a snake and I thought Shannon was gonna have a heart attack. Way worse than me! Funny stuff.

Shannon needed "wine and meat" so we went to LoneStar for dinner. It was so funny. I think this was the first time my sister sorta relaxed cause the conference was over. She got a little tainted. *giggle* Now I know to get her started on wine much earlier! *grin* But it was fun! We had lots to talk about! Nice bonding time! Then I dropped her off cause she was *done* for the night and the next day she went back home to her babies.

After dropping her off, I went to meet Amy JO to go to The Social to see BIG SKY! Leslie met us there and Karen and her friends came for a bit, but left early. Sadness. But, Longwood opened and they played "My little runaway" and it was so good! A little too Sum 41 but harder for me, but still enjoyable. Longwood's fans (the two of them) were so cute dancing and singing so in the bathroom I just started talking to them after the show and they were so surprised and said "You are so nice. No girls are nice to us. Thanks for being so cool!" Aww yay, I am nice...I think they were cute dancing for their band. Support the band and befriend the fans! That is my motto yo!

Got a cd from a guy named John Frank that will be preforming there soon. Hmm..not sure about what I think about it...it's a little too redundant.

THEN...BIG SKY! They rock my world! LOVE THEM! And the new CD is out and it is INCREDIBLE! WELL WORTH THE WAIT! Yay! It was awesome and I think Amy JO liked them especially when they first sang the words "I want to be like David Bowie" *giggle*

So I LOVE BIG SKY! Lost my voice for them AND got home a 3AM and had to wake up at 6AM for my tour. *giggle* Great times!

Woke up nice and sleepy on Saturday and got ready for my tour. The very first guests that arrived came up to me and said, "I just wanted to let you know, it was like pulling teeth getting in the park this morning, no one knew what was going on and what this tour was" UGH! DISNEY BE CONSISTENT. WE do this tour EVERY week. AHH, I apologized and felt so bad for the guests, they said they were so angry they were about to turn around and leave. So I gave the front entrance people a talking to.

I had eight guests altogether and they ROCKED! They asked tons of questions and were really interested. I loved them! It was a great tour! I feel like we accomplished so much, we were on time and a little over for most of the part so I felt bad but because of that and the fact it was the first day of The Food and Wine Festival, we were so busy so we couldn't do any attractions, but I still think they got their money's worth. And Doug was awesome! Do you know how much I adore Doug? He's great!

That same couple that had had a bad start to the day getting in the park, also were the ones to force a tip on me at the end of the tour, so I hoped that I made up for the lack of helpfulness at the beginning of the day.

Got home satisifed with the tour and met up with Amy Jo to go shopping again. *giggle* We went to the outlet center again, but this time we didn't buy anything, but just looked around a bit. Went to the shoe place that Amy JO went to the other day and the guy that "helped" her was there again. He was so sweet on her. So funny to watch him come over and make senseless conversation. We were about to leave the complex when he ran out the door and was like, "So you have my number right?" and Amy Jo was like, "No, you never gave it to me" and he goes, "It's on the receipt" NO THAT IS THE STORE NUMBER TOOL! So then he goes and gets a business card with his name on the back of it(Marcello)...WITH THE STORE NUMBER ON IT. What a goof.

Went to the Premium Outlet Center next and I showed Papaya to Amy JO. This is were I get all my cute little shirts at for half the price. I love this store and so did Amy JO. In fact, while I got two shirts and a dress (yep...I said I dress) she got her Halloween costume. *giggle* So 80s Madonna and so HOT! She even wore half of it to Margaritaville that night. Big score!

So we come home, grab a bite to eat and get ready for Margaritaville! Headed over there looking all hot and stuff! Took FOREVER for "lawn seats available" but when it did, we were happy! So busy there but good times to say the least. Marcello actually showed up and started buying! Nice. Leslie joined us later, but we danced for a long time that night, much more than normal, pretty much to get away from the TOOL! Amy JO got to talk to David and I made a remarkable discovery last night. I went up to Roger and just told him that I liked the new look he had (roughness with the facial hair, sloppy but hot clothes and just friendlier mistique) and he said "thanks, the facial hair is a stick on" *giggle* He was NICE! Yay. So I asked him about the boy who played his drums one night and was SO good and he said "You want to sit in" *HA HA HA* I was like "umm no, I come for the band and for you guys to play, that is what I love. I can't sing or play anything! I come for the band!" He was so nice! Yay Roger. And I told him that too. "Roger, I just wanted to tell you that you are nice" Carolyn=BIG DORK, but I didn't care. *grin*

GOOD TIMES at Margaritaville. Talked to AJ a bit...tried to figure out how to ditch the tool, but he just left. Nice! Danced SO much last night and had a great time! AJ was so cute dancing and enjoying the stage last night. The crowd was fun. Had a "phone guy" dance with me...funny. Do I attract band guys only? He was like, "yea I just came from doing a show at Hard Rock" GRRREAT! Go away, I have had my fill of you boys.

So I came home and crashed. I had been up since 6AM and only had two hours of sleep that night. So I am surprised that I was up today at 11:30 when I don't work until 2:15, but I have *so* much to do. Craziness. So this week, I work 2:15-11...for the rest of my life. *giggle* But it's good times! I have tuesday and wednesday off though so that is cool! Yay!

LOTS OF COOL STUFF THIS MONTH! YAY. We, of course, are going to the Halloween show with The Curve and all dressing up as different eras of Madonna! Gonna be awesome! Then, Jocelyn-THANK YOU-sent me news of TONY LUCCA COMING BACK TO ORLANDO! THANK YOU! YAY! I can NOT wait to see him again and for at least TWO NIGHTS, YAY!

So excited! Okay now to rest and get all my stuff done...then onto work! Hope that was not as exhausting to read as it was to write, but now I can remember these few days and the craziness that existed. Later!

Started off the day by going shopping with Libby. Good times. We were productive *and* had fun! We went to Once Upon A Toy, where we bought toys. Good theme-ing ey? <.grin> "You do *too* have it!" *giggle*

Went to Disney at Home and found cool stuff and okay priced. All except that big pillow. "WHAT? $80!" WOW! No thanks...property control anyone?

Then, ate lunch at the trendy but slightly overpriced Wolfgang Puck's Express and had a YUMMY sandwich with fries...then to the chocolate shop for a tester of chocolate...free and hits the spot. No need for me to eat for days....and I say that as I pop another grape in my mouth. Ugh.

Why are people so strange? I don't understand. But Anne and I got our fill today at work and even after I come home from work. Just weird.

Randomers at work today. Crazies as usual, but nice ones too. Went on many van runs...here again lies my purpose at work-to do van runs.

Had the monthly meeting. Good times. I learned a lot from Nina and Michelle and my fellow cast members. Good tips and I am constantly learning in my role. I enjoy it throughly. Good times! Also learned from Paul today that I apparently say "Good Times" too often. We even went over what everyone says too much:

Paul="That's funny!"
Maryann="No Worries!"
Michelle="That's HUGE!"
Nina="Crazy!"
Carolyn="Good times!"

Good times! *giggle*

So my sister called me today. She arrived safely. We are gonna meet up for lunch tomorrow during her break then I will head off to work. Then, I have the next two days off to hang with her. The game plan is to hit Epcot on Thursday after her meetings, then onto Margaritaville! Then, Friday is catch up day for me and rest day...then meet up with her after her conferences, meet her friends, then onto BIG SKY! Rock on! I cannot wait! Hopefully Kevin and crew will meet up with us there and then from there on...party time!

Help desk again tomorrow. Will be fun I am sure...always a good time and never a dull moment!

Today was pretty good! Normal crazy help desk stuff, but nothing too much or anything I couldn't handle. I think practice makes....okay (certainly not even close to "perfect" yet, but what is perfect anyways?) It's all good though.

Got a nice "magical" moment when Michelle gave me a STAR pin. How happy was I? She made my day! Thanks girl! You are the sweetest!

Did multiple van runs...I think that van is becoming my close friend! Good times!

Watching John Mayer's DVD...good times! Like days at the villa. Oh I miss it. I miss the smells and the feeling I got when coming home and relaxing on my *huge* bed! Oh I miss it! Having the crew come over randomly and convince me to go midnight swimming when I had to work early in the morning. Good times. I MISS it.

Helped a guest today who had an unfortunate protein spill on his shorts get a new pair. He was very grateful. It's the least I could do. I helped their day. They liked me. Good times!

My sister comes in tomorrow! Me excited!

Chatting with Kevin! May be coming up this weekend. Yay! Hopefully I will get to see him for a bit!

Tomorrow same story, different players. Good times. We shall see. I am liking the sleeping-in part though for sure. But tomorrow I have to get up early and get some errands done for the day before my work schedule begins. We shall see if I get up to do them! *grin*

Later!

Pretty crazy day, but good at the same time. Went to work expecting to be at the help desk, but got pulled to 1) do a van run to the Boardwalk and then 2) take over Andy's training position because he wasn't feeling well *Hope you feel better Andy*. Jean-Philippe was doing well at Gateway so it wasn't much work at all to help him out! It was good times and pretty busy at Gateway so it was good and he did well.

After helping out there, I went back to the help desk and was called to do another van run, then when I got back Juliet was there with a friend and we caught up while I finished the closing duties. Was good times and the day went by pretty fast. Took Diago home. He couldn't believe that we are the same age! *so cute*!

Got a call from Nick! Yay! I miss Nick! He is adorable. We have to get together soon! We are in the same state and hardly see each other! Ahh I miss our DAK moments! *g*

Craziness=The help desk, but I do adore it so that helps. *grin* Just learning along the way!

So my sis comes in on tuesday! Yay! And we are gonna go out to Margaritaville and go see BIG SKY as well! I am gonna wear her out big time during her conferencing schedule! Gonna be good times!

Becca! I love the pics! So cute! Aww good times! I miss our villa!!!

So tomorrow again...at the help desk! *grin* But I get to help Nina out with some meeting setup stuff so I am excited! Happiness!

Let me go back to Friday night where Amy JO and I went to Margaritaville. Boy that place is the best. SO funny. And Amy JO and I are at our worst there when making fun of people. We become bad, but it *is* just so darn easy. *giggle* We just *can't* help it. Ah we are so bad, but basically people are just too funny at that place. Good times!

Michael got toasted and was freaking hilarious! I love it when he is more relaxed, you can tell he totally loves to play and rock it out! Loved it! Dave was laughing at him...and at us. Good times!

Came home and crashed yet again. But now for the rest of the two weeks ahead, I am working the closing help desk shift with the one exception of a tour I have on Saturday, but other than that I am taking Madison's place while she is on her honeymoon. It's crazy, with no variety. Ah well. It's life.

Yesterday was good. It was the first day of lobby training for the new Internationals and they are just *so* cute! They did well, of course. I had some crazies in the lobby when going out to help them out. But, I did have this cool kid (about 15 or so) come in and say he couldn't find his family (whom he had split from awhile ago with his dad) or his dad (who was suppose to meet him at the exit of Mission:Space and didn't) so I helped him out a bit and told him to go try looking again and then come back if no luck. He came back within about ten minutes with his family and his mom came up to me and said "Thank you *so* much for taking care of my little boy!" It was so cute! I could tell the boy was embarrassed, but it was the cutest! Yay.

Got a nice compliment from another Cast Member. Thanks! You Rock!

I *did* get off for November 2nd as well! Whew! So I can go to WPB no problem and hang! Me excited, but a bit less excited since FYC won't be joining in anymore. Sadness. Ah well! Will catch them at PI for Dec and Jan! Can't wait!

So today again I am closing the help desk. Hope it is not as *crazy* as it was yesterday, but then again it does make the day go by *fast*!

PS: SLACKERS (you KNOW who you are!) Where are my updates? Don't follow in my slacking footsteps...I *still* check YOURS everyday! <.giggle>

So the past few days have been nonstop so I haven't been able to post regularly. Sorry. Let me go back a couple of days. On Wednesday, I did my overview class for the new International Cast Members. It went pretty well. We had some unplanned changes, but that happens sometimes. Other than that, it was lots of walking and lots of information, but they handled it all well. I had fun. It was the first time I actually got to train them in dining and applications that we use everyday so it was good for both of us to learn how the training worked for them specifically. Good times.

After work, Tye, Libby, Jane and I headed to the Grand Flo cause Juliet left us keys to her room so we could view "Wishes" from her awesome room. It had a great view! So we hung out there and it was *such* a nice room! We went out on the beach area there and just relaxed on a swing and chatted. Then when Wishes came on we went back to the room and went out on the patio and watched it from there. It was awesome! You could hear the music and it was a beautiful show! Ahh, Disney Magic!

Juliet came back from the MK party and told us all about it. She saw Mr. Fatone among others. Got to see Deborah Gibson and such. Yay. She gave me her pass cause it is a CD. I have yet to figure out what is on it though, but I am excited! yay!

Went home and crashed to wake up yesterday for Pal Mickey. Our Press Event for Mission:Space was yesterday so we had to close early to the public and it went fairly well as far as complaints go. The party was last night and Tye and Juliet attended and said it rocked! I can only imagine what kind of parties that Disney can throw. I saw Greg Brady though. That was cool! Lots of fun things all around the park, and LOTS of people!

Got off work and headed home to meet Amy JO! We ate dinner and headed off to GUSTER! They rocked! This chick's band opened for them (Kitty something) and they were really good too! Guster was awesome! The guy next to Amy JO was a jerk though and the guy directly behind me would not shut his mouth, but other than that it was good times! Yay Guster! They definitely gave me my fix for bands for this week!

Nonetheless, Amy Jo, Leslie, and I (and hopefully more!) are gonna go to Margaritaville tonight after I get off work! Yay!

Found out that FYC can't play with The Curve on Halloween cause they changed the date! Ugh! I am so upset. I know neither one can help it, but I was *so* looking forward to it. Now I can't see FYC until December. Not cool!

Today I work the window and hopefully things won't be too crazy from yesterday's early closing hours. I can only hope.

So last night I got to talk to a lot of people I haven't talked to in awhile! Good times! Got calls from Jessica, Jonathan, Jordan, and B! I miss you guys! Really I do!

Libs and Janie came over with brownies and ready with girl talk. It was good times. I adore those girls. Always there to support and have fun with. They are totally fun to. They made a "What Tye loves" pile full of Dr. Thunder, pencils, candy, etc for when he came back from the movies and it was so funny. Good times! We stayed up quite late just all chattin and stuff. I like these times. Relaxing and just hanging out with no pressure. Good times!

I got some mail yesterday from my girl Jocelyn! Thank you *so* much! I am sitting here listening to Mr. John Mayer! And LOVING it! And I can't wait to hear all the others! You keep me updated in the latest music scene in NY and I appreciate it like no other. Looks like we may be coming up to the NY area in February. I know it sounds like forever, but this time it might actually be feasible for me to make it and there is a very good reason for me to go in addition to visiting you and Mr. JHey, but I will let Alex share that info with you!

So today is my day off for this week and I have *tons* to do. I have to run several errands and finish my laundry, plus I have to make lots of time for the listening pleasure of my newest CDs (thanks Joc!) and add in time to rest and relax as well. Resting time is *very* important since I have been running on nothing lately and I definitely need to recharge my battery. *g*

I love your pics JHEY! You are so talented in many ways! *g* But keep them coming.

Okay going to start my day now with taking a shower. I will update soon!

Got up early today to work in the lobby for my mandatory day. It was good times. They are filming the Wayne Brady Show at Epcot and every guest was full of questions regarding it. All was well.

Got awesome news from Alex, but I am not telling on here until everyone knows so I don't get in trouble, but yay!

JHey-You are *too* cute! I am so glad you finally updated...I am gonna keep on you boy...I need updates! <.grin> Also, to respond to your journal...the moment I put on my nametag, I become a different person. Like Michelle told us, we become actors and actresses, even if I am a tad sleepy *g*. BTW, so glad you are my friend!

Jocelyn-Where are you girl? I need updates! *g*

So yea...good times all around. So excited that tomorrow is my day off. It is my only day off this week though, but that is okay. I am just glad to have a day off period.

Later

Oh dear.

Let's go back a bit. Basically, I had gotten home early from my tour yesterday and I ran a few errands. I got a refund on my tickets. They made an "exception" for my situation. Thank goodness! Yay.

Got a call from Mikey saying he was gonna hang at Jellyrolls with his buddy and wanted me to gather up "the crew" and hang, so I called the gals and it was set. Good times with text messaging. It is a great communication tool. *g*

Met up with Leslie, Amy Jo, Mikey, and his friend at the bar. Umm, yea good times! Danced, sang, drank some. Mikey is a good provider. *g* Was feeling nice and having a good time! They played "Daydream Believer" and we all freaked! Good times!

We decided to head back to the Beach Club to use the facilities and hang out a bit. Listened to The Curve's new EP. Very good. Sang some of their songs...good times. Hung out a bit. Crazy night. As Mikey put it "crazy weird" or "crazy awesome" VERY crazy. So crazy! Needless to say, I was pretty darn tired this morning when I had to wake up for my tour, but I had a great day so that helped.

I got to take around our new International Cast Members on the UFW tour and they are *so* cute! I love them! They are gonna be great! We had a lot of fun going on attractions and learning about Epcot. Great tour! The day went by pretty fast which is great cause I am about to pass out. I am gonna take a *long* nap and recover from last night. Craziness.

So I will update at a later time when I am somewhat awake and in good spirits.

So yesterday was good. I closed the help desk for the first time and everything went surprisingly well. I had Ann there and she was an awesome help! She rocks! I love the people I work with. They are too much fun!

Learned that The Rising has cancelled their tour and delayed their CD from coming out. How *unhappy* am I? VERY! Even more upset about the fact they won't let me get my money back for them cancelling, cause they are "just an opening act". UGH! They were the *only* reason I bought those tickets. Darn it! Anyone want to buy two tickets to the Sloth/Still Naive/Tantric show on October 14th? Cause I certainly don't want to go anymore. Grrr.

I got a message from Mikey while at work that he was in town with some "buddies" and were heading out to PI. So Amy JO and I got set to hook up with them.

We got there and started "partying" and met some skanky boys that made their way behind us in every possible way to dance with us. While we mouthed to each other what the guy looked like behind the other. "yea or no?" "NO!" Ugh, gross. <.giggle> "Get OFF!" *g* We did however meet some cool guys last night. We were in Motions and this guy just comes up to us and says something along the lines of "I can't dance" and starts dancing with us. So we were like "okay". He introduced himself as Josh and said he was from West Palm Beach and so I asked him if he knew of The Curve and of course he did. He went to school with Bobby (the sound guy I presume) so we hung out with him for a bit.

Then, Amy Jo spotted Casey leaning against the wall so she grabbed him and they started to dance while Josh was practically on top of me. Drunk much? Both of them were toasted. So we were all dancing and then Josh excused himself (me thinks he had to make a protein spill) and we proceeded to dance.

Got a message from Mikey saying "we missed you". So sad, but good times nonetheless. Hopefully I will get to see him sometime this weekend, but if not Halloween is just around the corner! Hope they have good times while visiting!

So got home pretty gone. I crashed and woke up at the wonderful time of 6AM to go to my tour. It was so much fun! I had four wonderful guests. The time went by really fast and it was incredibly good times cause they participated and seemed really interested. Mika was my cultural representative and was AWESOME! She is *too* cute! Got done about 1ish or so and ER'ed and got home around 2ish to eat some lunch and catch up on some rest.

Tomorrow I am doing the new Guest Relation International Cast Members tour around Future World so it is gonna be fun! I can't wait! I get a little more time with them and it is a bit more relaxed so it shall be good times!

Just got back from being in a photo shoot. Well my butt was in it anyways. We got to do a special thing for Disney. Will talk more about that later. *g* Yay.

Went with Tyler, Libs, Janie, and Low-L. It was good times. Ran into Craig, Jen and their friends, Crazy Chris and a bunch of peeps. It was good times. I loved seeing everyone again! Good times! Pretty things in the sky! *g*

Good times with the friends! Tomorrow I close the help desk so hopefully it won't be *too* crazy!

Ah, my day off. And I have been running around like crazy. Nap time!

Woke up a bit later than planned. Tye and I decided not to try the focus group. So I called and got my insurance changed to Florida Auto insurance and now *I* have to pay for it. Dang, the price of getting older and moving on to being an adult. It's expensive.

Went to Midas to get my oil changed. I love my Midas guy. He rocks! He even adjusted my brakes for me as well. He is the best!

Got a call from Theresa. She requested *me* to train her in the lobby. I cannot wait. She will be my first "official" one-on-one trainee. I am so excited! Yay! I hope I do well.

Went to the bank and talked to Jessica about my money "issues" while doing so. I am so glad she is coming to visit for Halloween. Gonna be great times!

Then, headed onto the post office, which was long overdue and then bought my Guster and Tantric (The Rising) tickets at House of Blues. I cannot wait! I am fully excited for this month's full activities of live shows! Whoo hoo!

When I got home, I was about to pop in <.starts singing> Pippi Longstocking is coming into your world, a freckle-faced red-haired girl, oh don't you know, the one that gives your heart a whirl when Tye was like, "I want to watch too" so we got Libs to come over and it was a movie party. Good times! Made us all sleepy though...she wore us out. So now is nap time.

More exciting things to come soon. I will update! Sleep time!

Today was my Train the Trainer class. It was very good. Anthony cracked me up. He was a great partner to go with. We had to say something that was interesting about us. I asked Anthony what he thought would be interesting about me. He looked at me and said "*You* have an online journal" So is that really weird or something that it is *that* interesting. Apparently so. Ah well. Didn't mention it though. Anyways, we both "passed" and got our certificates and Trainer pins so we are now "official". Happiness.

We ate lunch at the Magic Kingdom and said hello to his friends. Today is Magic Kingdom AND Ecpot's birthday! Yay!

After finishing up at the D-R-C, I headed home and to meet up with the Libster and Tye. We went out to dinner at Donato's and then proceeded to make our way through Wal-Mart. Good times at Wal-Mart. Those peeps crack me up. From Libby to running after us with a halloween mask (SCARY) to Tye attempting to try on a Santa Claus negligee *with* a thong. Good times.

So I am creating this quote page to record all the funniest quotes that I have heard mostly lately just cause sometimes I need a reminder and a good laugh and this helps me relax, plus I have a bad memory so I like to write things down to remember. So there you go. It will be updated frequently for good laughs. Mostly at the expense of my friends. Good times!

I bought the coolest thing ever at the coolest Wal-Mart. I bought a dvd of PIPPI LONGSTOCKING! So excited! It's been years. Cannot wait til I watch it! It's my old school!

Came home and now watching Zoolander. Funny movie! Favorite part so far..."What is this? A building for *ants*? How can we expect to teach kids to read when then can't even fit in the building?" *giggle*

Jocelyn rocks and sent me this link and guess who is number one and two on their top ten. Did I call it or what? Check it out on the bottom right-hand corner...even the first name on the page rocks as well! Rock on boys!

So what I am gonna be for Halloween? I have a couple of things in mind, but not sure as of yet...hmm. Any ideas?

So Ellen has been doing this MPass stuff and I am so excited. I may go with her to check out some of the local scene a bit better. I would *love* to get into promoting for bands as an actual job. That would be my dream so I am so excited to look more into it. If you have anything to do with the music business, sign up and attend as well! Will be an awesome opportunity!

Tomorrow is my day off so I am gonna get my oil changed, go to the post office, go be in a focus group for a new movie coming out with Tye, and go to a sneak peak of something at Disney. Me excited! Gonna be a great day off.

Talk later!
