I am sorry for your loss Mikey. I am thinkin about you. Just know that.

Today was a pretty good day! But I left out some great and funny parts of last night...so I need to add those in. First of all, Glen kissed me *blush* only on the cheek, but I *so* adore him so it made my night. *grin*

I, supposedly, was really loud last night when I got home (sorry roomies) and Jonathan had to come and take care of me a bit..thanks yo.

SO today I was at Gateway with the ever-hilarious Craig Pastrana..he cracks me up. Good, slow day. Amy J *since everyone STOLE "Amy Jo" from me, she is now officially ONLY Carolyn's Amy J* and I went to lunch together. Leo was there as well. Good times.

Had my one-on-one with Nina in the car on the way to lunch. It was short and sweet, but very productive as well. Good times! I found out some awesome news. I found out that I would be hosting one of our new managers on my UFW tour on Monday. Cool! Also, Segway training for the VIP Tour Guides is coming up soon! Happiness. Funny though, other people got trained way before us cause we were busy with VIP training, but I may get to do the first Segway tour. SO excited!

Tonight, Amy J came over and Jonathan ate with us....we had spagetti and *starts singing* chips and dip and dip and dip...dang it Kevin, that dang rap. *giggle* Then we all settled down to watch Meet Me in St Louis. I love that movie and it was J-dawg's first time so Amy J and I were singing along and it was so much fun...

Now, we are sitting in my room, groovin to the tunes of the Jackson Five and reliving our past. Good times!

Tomorrow I close help desk, same on Sunday...then my UFW tour and a couple days off. Nice!

Good times. Yesterday was a crazy day. Lots of different things going on. When it got to the time to get ready for the party, things were halfway good. Been listening to the Campfire Girls nonstop. They rock my world. Thanks Courtney.

Got ready and Leo and Sarah came over to change and then we headed to Trent's. We got there a bit later than everyone else, but that was perfect cause everyone was in good spirits by then. Trent and Glen loved their picture gifts. YAY!

Everyone was playing darts and hanging out. Good times. We ate pizza and played...and danced and had good times. I got happy. Fun times! Good company. Our group rocks!

Got home and chatted a bit *grin* Sorry bout unloading on you Kevin...glad you were a good sport about it though. *giggle* I will try not to do that again for your benefit.

Crashed after that and when I woke up this morning I couldn't believe that I had set my alarm for so dang early for 7:30AM...duh I had to work today...good thing I remembered. Whew.

At Gateway hangin out with Craig Pastrana. That boy cracks me up! I adore him!

I gots big plans tonight with Mr. J Janis in watching Meet Me In St Louis which he has never seen...gonna be good times! Happiness.

Laters...

Straight from Libby Jones' Journal, I took an exerpt about yesterday. She is the cutest!

THIS ONE'S FOR CAROLYN

Libby Jones you are the sweetest ever and you guys were the best GUESTS ever! Thanks for the awesome review though. You rock my world.

What a day so far. Ugh. Things are crazy. I am seeing too much of some people and just want to hide sometimes, but I am not allowed to. Oh dear.

Gonna hang out some more and do whatever until the party tonight. I went to the Florida Mall to try and find some "Disney approved" shoes...no luck (I have big feet) and then headed to Best Buy and found the Campfire Girls...called Courtney and picked her up a copy...it's gonna come to ya girl!

Anyways I will talk soon...

Well folks..you are now reading the journal of a VIP tour guide. Good times.

Yesterday was good times. I was nervous, of course, but everything worked out pretty perfectly. When we got there they gave us our assignments for our mock tour. They had volunteers who were Guest Relation Cast members and their families, but the only problem was they needed to pair us up with people that we didn't know. So Glen started to call them out and I was first, "Carolyn...you are gonna be with Libby Jones and friends" *giggle* Yea...one of my good friends down here...and the "with friends" part is Mr. Jonathan Janis and Christina, whom I know. Funny stuff. He was gonna try to switch me, but it kinda didn't work out, so I was with them for the two hours.

At first it made me feel better to have someone I knew, but then it made it a little more nerve-racking cause I had to impress them...the experts and perfectionists. That was a toughy, but they were really great guests. They certainly surprised me on some cases and they asked me a lot of questions and I just treated it as if it were a real tour and as if I didn't know them.

We did a LOT in two hours. The park wasn't that packed at all so they weren't even offering any fast passes, so I basically went around with them and hung out on all the attractions with them. We did Tower Of Terror first, then Coaster. We headed down to try and check on The Great Movie Ride (but it was delayed) but on the way we ran into Donald and took a photo. We were on our way to Star Tours, but they decided they didn't want to ride that one. So bypassed that and headed to 3D Muppet Movie, where I showed them the key under the mat...they loved that! *grin* Watched the movie and then they wanted to stop by the arcade inside of Pizza Planet and do the dance game so we did that for a bit. Then we were walking back to The Great Movie Ride and we saw it was open again, so I put them on that ride while I checked us in for The Beauty and the Beast show. After they were done, I was there to meet them and took them to the show. We made it just in time and then my tour was over. It was really fun though! I enjoyed it, even though it was a lot of thinking and checking on times/rides to make sure everything was great...it was fun just trying to please the guests and get to know them at the same time.

So we came back from our tours and had lunch (where I saw my guests-that was funny) and then studied for the test. We had a HUGE test. It was a LOT of writing...and there was only one or two questions where I didn't know the exact numbers, but other than that I think I did well. Good times!

Afterwards we all celebrated together (I love our tour group-16 very cool people!) and had cake and shared our stories. Glen and Trent rocked as tour trainers and the rest of the office is awesome! I am excited to be apart of the group!

We call came home and decided to meet at Bennigans for a celebration dinner/beer fest. Good times! They are all fun to hang out with. Saw a guy at the bar who looked like he liked bands, so I asked him if he did. He said yes and so I proceeded to promote all my bands. *points at myself* The Big dork that I am *grin* but he was cool.

Today is my day off. *happiness* and I am gonna see if I can get a lot of errands done and rest a LOT. Tonight we are celebrating again at Trent's house with pizza/beer. It shall be fun! Good times!

So today was great. Met at DAK and Patrick took us around to the attractions. We got a lot of new info on Africa and Asia that was *even* new to ME! I was excited! LOVED the notation at Chester's and Hester's to go visit Epcot. *grin* Glen is so cute!

We proceeded onto our surprise "of the day" at Dinosaur where we got to do something really cool! AND we got to ride it while doing something cool. No need to spoil any magic, therefore I am not gonna. *grin* I love my job!

We got to dine at the Rainforest Cafe, which was so incredibly good. I recommend it to anyone and everyone. They fed us WELL! I was rolling out and honestly, it was the only meal I have had today and I am still not hungry. Good times!

It rained most of the day until the end where the sun popped itself right out. Good timing. *giggle* We went and checked out the conceige level of the DAK Lodge which was really nice as well.

Had to go to Access Control to get my new dining card and inquired about getting my photo changed on my ID cause it really didn't look like me and I had been questioned before and basically we had a communication problem cause apparently he didn't understand what I was asking and although he did change my photo, it really shouldn't have happened the way it did. Drama. But what can I do?

Tomorrow is my nervous day. It's my check-out. I always get nervous before these types of things, but I am really not *that* worried, but I just don't want to let anyone down. I feel like I have a lot of eyes watching me and hoping I do well..but these expectations are pretty high and I don't want to let anyone feel like they shouldn't have picked me for any reason. The responsibility of having someone's vacation in the palm of my hands is enough pressure, let alone all the other pressure's I am feeling. But things are gonna be great and I am gonna be great...I hope. *grin* Wish me luck.

I have been studying and worrying all night long....and I am gonna do that regardless...every night before a tour and every time...I will be like this. It's just me. I am such a worrier. I do this for UFW tours as well, but not as bad cause that is a planned spiel and although things *can* and *will* go not as planned, still there is some rhyme and reason....we shall see what things will happen and come up. I am excited though, don't get me wrong. I think it *will* be fun, once I get the hang of things and get some experience.

I am listening to Counting Crows to calm me down. It seems to be working. I love music. I mean that with all my life. I could *not* live without it. It changes my mood. Changes my life. Reminds me of memories and thoughts. I live it, breathe it, and love it. Makes me think.

I am feeling better for those of you who responded to my last post...thanks. Still not 100%, but I doubt I ever will from any of those kind of experiences, but the important thing is that I learned valuable lessons and regrets and lots of non-regrets from them so they will benefit me in the long run, but I will con't to think about them, reflect on them, be sad about them, be mad about them, smile about them, and frown about them. Life happens...why not let it happen to me like this. It's a lesson....I guess. And as Courtney stated well...

That song. Makes me feel way more than one emotion. Thanks girl for bringing it my attention again.

But in the words of Adam Duritz "I am the RAINKING". I am feeling different emotions at the moment kids..I am going crazy. Back to studying...

The weekend rocked!

That's how I am gonna start off this post. Good times were had. Got up on Saturday and finished a lot of my errands which rocked. Then, Kevin came over, Tye and Jonathan walked in from work about the same time. Good timing. Went to a five star restaurant for dinner..a new place down the street...yea I think the name was something along the lines of McDonald's. Good stuff. *grin*

Leslie and Amy Jo came over and brought Jackie. YAY! We headed on down to The Social and hung out until The Curve came on.

The Curve ROCKED it out. I love their show. I get so into it and it was fun with the girls. They make it so much more enjoyable when we all know the words and are singing them at the top of our lungs. Courtney and Melissa were there as planned and fun as hell too. Mikey rocked it...Phil rocked it...Davy Jones even rocked it too...good times!

After their show...I didn't want to come down from that high, but SOL is not my favorite band (not that they are bad...cause they aren't) I am just not as into them as I am into The Curve and their music. So...just hung out a bit.

Left right after SOL pulled some crap about not singing their last song, which happened to be the only one I was looking forward to...and came back to crash.

It was good times that night though. Lots of figuring things out and clearing things up in my head. It is frustrating, but a good kind of releasing...of frustration...I think. I am just still in a saddened state, but not much I can do about that. I did it to myself and I am bearing the consequences...I deserve it. Makes sense.

Talked a lot of it out...in my head and into others...felt like crap waking up, for multiple reasons...*grin* but a lot of it for bad relaying of the night in my dreams, over and over and over again.

Had donuts and good chats in the morning. Leslie came knocking on the door and right behind her Amy JO. Both surprises. Jonathan and Tye no where to be found but told them to meet here for a MK day. So we joined in.

It was good times playin in the park. I had fun with my buds! I am glad that we all get along as well as we do. We got to do MK and watch Wishes, then headed to Epcot for some GREAT margaritas and Chinese at the Lotus Blossom Cafe and then met up with Diago in Italy for Illuminations:Reflections of Earth. Could not have been a more perfect day. No waits...no problems, great company, good fun! Good times! We ALSO got to sit in the front of the monorail on the way home. YAY! Magic all over the place.

Got home and Jonathan, Tye, Libby, and Jane were all hanging out. Said our goodbye's to the coolest drummer ever and I crashed. It was a tiring weekend but oh-so-much FUN!

Went to work at the break of dawn this morning...had a great day though. It went by so fast and was so much fun. We basically had a great meeting in the morning with our Synergy people then headed into our "coach" with TIM being our driver. HE ROCKS! Funny story with Tim...

When I first met Tim...he was my driving coach for the 15 passenger van last week during the first days of training and such a nice guy. Reminds me of my bro-in-law somewhat. And I thought he was Trent when we were leaving...I saw him from the back...so when he turned around I gave him the "ROCK ON" sign, hence \m/, which I don't give to people unless they know me for more than a day *grin* and he kinda smiled and waved, but I didn't want to offend him so I felt bad....well today when we were leaving I waved goodbye from the street and he gave ME the rock on sign. NICE! Good times. I love Tim...good guy!

Anyways...today we went to all the airports that we might be picking our guests up from. The main OIA (Orlando International Airport) and the smaller ones for private jets and whatnot. Good times were had there. We got ice cream at the airport, got tours...and just had a grand old time off property. We then headed to Blizzard Beach..on my old turf. We parked right by LottaWatta Lodge...aww memories. I saw one of my old co-cast members and she had NO idea who I was...it has been a couple of years but I waved nonetheless and she waved back looking confused. Aww...sadness.

Tomorrow is our day at DAK...GOOD TIMES! I am so excited about that...then I have my check-out and mock tour...*nervousness* But I can't wait! Then...back to work at Guest Relations and onto TOURING. Wish me luck!

I just wanted to take this moment to thank all my friends for all the good talks....thanks *grin* I am very fortunate to have such great and caring friends! And I mean that.

Oh, I haven't posted in forever it seems. I have been exhausted and extremely busy with training and shows in the past few days that I haven't even had a moment to breathe.

Training has been going well. It's a lot of information, a lot of expectations, a lot of contradictions, and a lot of fun. It's wearing me out though. Thank goodness today is my first of two days off. Happiness.

To kinda catch up...I will go back to Thursday. Trained during the day. It was at EPCOT! Happiness. It felt good being back in my park. We got to dine at Nine Dragons (which means luck by the way) *grin* and it was delicious as usual. Got a wonderful tour around there and got home *so* tired.

Got ready and met up with Amy Jo, Joey Boone, Tye, Xavier, and Craig at the Ale House to say our goodbyes to Joey Boone. Makes me sad. He is on his way back to LA to me a movie star again...can't wait till ya come back my friend!

From there, Amy JO and I went to PI to catch Five Star Iris at Battle of the Bands. It amazes me that Disney always has the same receipe for choosing these bands. They pick three terrible ones and one EXCELLENT one. So weird. I always try to give the other three bands a benefit of the doubt, but they just were nothing to scream about. The last band even said some things they should *not* say at Disney...not cool. "Don't mess with Mickey" my friend...don't do it. Either way, 5SI kicked everyone's butts and won!!! YAY! I am three for three...keep em coming.

Alan introduced me to the drummer, Dan, and he was so nice as well. I enjoy those guys! So nice!

Headed home and crashed for a good two hours or so and woke up bright and early for the next day of training. Good times! We were at Disney-MGM Studios which was great cause this was probably the park I knew least about. Jim took us around and gave us a lot of his knowledge. I adore that guy. He's so funny and friendly...and incredibly knowledgable. It was fun, but it was *SO* extremely cold that we couldn't feel *anything* by the end. We did get to do something *awesome* though...it involves Coaster...and I can't say more than that.

I know that a few readers are getting mad at me *coughJordanandLibbycough* cause I am not being as specific as they would like me to be, but I can't ruin the magic...but let's just say that the things before dealt with The Haunted Manison, American Adventure and happy times! That's all I can say!

After work, I came home and crashed cause I was *done*. So exhausted but had a full and fun day at Disney-MGM Studios. Took about a three hour nap and then got ready to head over to Amy JO's and Leslie's for dinner and then Margaritaville.

Their apartment is *so* cute! I love all the new furniture. Good times! We ate spagetti and headed on to see BlueStone Circle! They were looking so good last night. They all dressed so well...and because of that, I thought it would be a perfect opportunity to get some current photos for my webpage I have for them (haven't had a second to load them up yet, but I will let you know when I do although a few are already on their site here) Good times. Dave even came down to see them for a bit...he's so nice! AJ was being funny on stage like always. Poor Michael had to sit half the time cause he was in a "boot" (he had injured himself somehow *giggle*) and Woodsey was so funny behind the keyboards..dancing and just hilarious! I enjoy those guys!

Got home late and crashed yet again. Woke up today and have been cleaning and doing laundry. Went and met Amy Jo at Papaya to shop, then met Leslie at Publix...we went and got some grub at Panara Bread (SO GOOD) and ran some errands. Good times! Tonight is THE CURVE! I canNOT wait! It's gonna be great!

So today was a pretty good day. Got up *so* early to meet up with the trainers. Got a muffin breakfast and we were on our way. Did some *very* cool things today...all I which I cannot mention on here. *sadness* But basically we drove into a really cool place *grin* and we went somewhere really cool. And that is that.

Had a great tour by Bob Pattee...funny guy. I enjoy him. Good times...going around to different attractions and getting to know them better.

Had some good meetings with some of the coordinators of DSA and the Manager, so it was fun to learn things straight from them and get a different perspective. I learned a lot today.

Gots to go...will chat more later.

Today I got up at the break of dawn for my first day of training as a VIP Tour Guide. Tye and I carpooled and got there in plenty of time. Glen and Trent are our facilitators and they both are great! We have a great group of trainees, in my opinion. So far it has been great fun with them.

Can�t get into too many specifics, but basically we went over a lot of stories and experiences that Glen and Trent have had. I love learning through other people�s real-life situations. I find them most interesting. We had a couple of visitors, Tim and Ken. Ken brought us a great gift�.our pagers. Possibly the most exciting thing about becoming a tour guide�well not really, but it�s fun anyways. If ya want my pager number, ask me and I *may* just give it to ya.

Went to the Grand Floridian from there and got a tour of the concierge levels. It was good fun. Met some cool contacts. We got to go into Roy�s suite and saw photos of him. Very nice!

After the tour, we went to the DAK parking lot to learn how to drive a 15-passenger van. Very exciting stuff. I had driven one before for some guests so I wasn�t too estranged from it , but it was like an obstacle course with cones and everything. I did great on some parts, but when approaching the �brick wall� in the form of two cones�.I did okay parking in front of it, then the �brick wall� magically disappeared and I had to proceed ahead and I accidentally caught one of the cones with me and crushed it. *grin* Tim (my van passenger/teacher) said in a funny tone �you just ran over that guy� aww�in the form of a cone, but still. I still passed�did quite well on the backing up process. I rock.

Came home much later than anticipated, but Jonathon had dinner all ready for us. He�s so cute. He made us chicken, pasta, salad, corn and rolls. SO good. The candles were lit, lights were on the palm tree, and the place was so pretty. So nice and relaxing to come home to that. Thanks J.

I am beat�I am watching Lord of the Rings and calming down before I hit the sack. No late nights for me this week and a half except the weekend cause I have to wake up at the break of dawn *every* morning, but all for a fun and good cause.

One thing I have to add is that Trent kept saying �Good Times� *giggle* I LOVE that about him!

It was a great day altogether and I am excited about even more fun tomorrow!

Jessica...you crack me up. I am watching the video from Friday night...and it is some good times. I videotaped for like half an hour..and had no clue I was doing so. All you see is darkness..and you can hear Jessica and I's adventures through Atlanta. So funny.

Chattin with some buds...Michael included...see I mentioned you...*grin*

So tired...have to wake up *early* tomorrow. I have my first day of VIP training and I am finishing up on some stuff tonight before I go to sleep...

Work was good today. After some Gateway, I headed to lunch and ran into Tigger and Pooh..they waved. Good times!

Me heading to bed! Have a great night and a magical day tomorrow!

So my parents dropped me off at the airport around 9ish and I headed down to the T-gates. No problem there...got a seat on the plane (yay!) and found out I was in FIRST CLASS. Rock on! It was a bit strange to be there. Bigger seats, more drink options *grin* and snobbier people to be quite honest. The guy next to me was so rude, but whatever I got a window seat and was in first class...I was a happy camper. But then...I saw someone who I knew, who I didn't really want to see...so I spent most of the time on the plane, avoiding eye contact. Interesting. It's so weird how the people you don't ever want to see always randomly show up in the strangest places. Who knew.

I was happy though being next to the window watching the world under me. The lights were so pretty. I was trying to figure out where I was the entire time...I imagined being in the different locations and thinking what people were doing there right at that moment, while listening to 5SI and enjoying the ride...I really like flying. Makes ya think.

My plane was delayed so when I got to the Orlando airport, Tye was nowhere to be found. I had tried to call them, but the line was busy the entire time. So, I call Jane and they are at McDonald's eating while waiting on my plane to come in. They came and got me...then we headed home to hang. Jonathan wasn't feeling too well, but he and Tye listened to all the fun I had in ATL and watched some of the *crazy* video that we had all contributed to making. Craziness...*giggle*

Back home and it is good to be back. Working at Gateway...good times. It is slow cause it is raining out, but good times hanging out and helping guests every so often.

Tomorrow starts VIP training. I am excited! Kinda nervous...but excited...happiness.

Well kids, this is gonna be a LONG post. Warning. Okay now I can proceed.

I am still in the ATL hangin with the folks. It's been a great weekend! I have to go back a bit though...don't want to get ahead of myself. *grin*

First of all, work on Thursday was *suppose* to be an uneventful and relaxing day....yea right. Got to work and did the DRC thing for a bit, was called into action to help out at Gateway, which was fine...then headed onto park clear. Watched the fireworks...I am liking the different locations for Illuminations viewing that I have been fortunate to take part in, but the areas I have been in lately have been extremely crowded and not so pleasant. Regardless, I am now seeing why people like the view from inbetween the towers near Canada and Mexico. Great, full-on view. Although it can be "experienced anywhere around the World Showcase Lagoon." *grin*

Now this is when the night gets a bit dramatic. Traci, Junko, Scott and I were doing park clear with the new rescue rangers shadowing us, so we had a pretty big group and we were doing well on time. Traci and I were having fun putting a little "accent" in our clear calls we had to make. "...The UK is now clear of all day guests" in our best UK accent. We are too cute! *grin* Good times. We were headed into future world where we assumed we would not have too much trouble clearing since it had been closed since 7pm and with the time being around 11pm, we thought we were "in the clear" (pardon the pun...totally on purpose *grin*) until we saw a gentleman sitting on a bench near the Innoventions Fountain.

Traci and I started to approach him as I asked him if I could help him. He had no response...just stared at us. I then asked if he was okay...again no response, but this time he did move his hand a bit. That is when Traci and I noticed that his left hand was inside of his coat pocket and he fiddled a bit more and looked as though he was pointing at us from inside the pocket. This is when I stopped breathing and literally thought he was gonna shoot me. Traci stopped functioning as well and we both just kind of stood there for a second and then backed away slowly. The gentleman did not say anything or do anything hasty so we just kept backing up. I called for security and our manager and the rest is pretty much proprietory knowledge, but he didn't have a weapon of any kind, it was simply a map in his hand inside of his pocket, but it certainly gave the impression that it was something more and it freaked us out. Traci and I were totally on the same mindset and literally could not come down from that experience for a good bit. Crazy.

So that was my night....came home and packed for my trip to the ATL. YAY! Went to bed pretty late..and then woke up pretty early for my trip to the airport. It had been so long since I had been on a plane...kinda fun to relive that again! Jonathan made us breakfast and we had eggs and ham. So yummy. Tye and Jonathan took me to the airport and said our goodbyes....hope they don't forget about me tonight *grin* They are my ride back as well.

The airport was a piece of cake. B got me a great deal and it rocked! I got on the plane and had a great seat...or so I thought. I quickly found out that I don't know my alphabet as good as I had previously thought. Apparently, I was in the wrong seat...but same row. I went to switch and felt completely retarded, especially when the guy who I was newly sitting next to, reached over, tapped me on the arm and said "I fly all the time and I still sit in the wrong seat...it's so confusing" Aww he totally put it out there, but it was nice of him to try and empathize with me. *grin*

More drama with the seats. Another guy in the middle of us asked the flight attendent for a different seat as he turned to me and said "Nothing personal, I just hate the middle" So I graciously offered to switch and he was *so* surprised that I would. Not a huge deal to me, so we did and he thanked me profusely throughout the flight. I just told him I was "easy to please" *giggle*

Got to the ATL and T called me to find out my terminal number...she wanted to come visit but Jessica was waiting on me, so I had to jet, but T went to work and we were gonna meet up later. Miss ya T! Found Jessica in the ATL mess and we headed out to Doc Cheys. Yum, I missed that place. So good!

We chatted and then headed onto Alon's Bakery where I actually got instructions on how to eat my desert. Interesting. I was on the phone with B when I was ordering (rude, I know...oops) and I asked the guy behind the counter if the chocolate souffle had chocolate in it (vs any other kind of creamy substance *grin*) and B made so much fun of me..ha ha ha. *grin* So I am not cultured, give me a break.

Went back to Jessica's and ate our deserts on the patio while waiting for B to come over. Hung out a bit there. I did Darren's Dance Grooves with Jess's roomie Sarah for a bit. Had to re-learn Brit Brit's You Drive Me Crazy. Good times. From there, headed on down to B's place to meet up with Rach and Snickles. I love that dog. So sweet and lovin. Nice! Jessica liked her too..and she *hates* dogs. Cute! Rachel's buds came over: Amy, Misty and Jen. They are all very nice! We went to Felini's to meet up with T, Wendy and her boyfriend Jonathan, Sudesh, and finally Denita. I felt so bad...I got Denita so lost...but she did finally make it! I adore her! *grin*

We were running a bit late for FYC and I felt so bad...but we arrived at Vinyl and I met up with my bro, Jen, Brandy and Rusty there. Good times! There was a pretty good crowd there and that was great for them! Got to meet Jennifer and her hubby and their friend Heather! Very nice folks! Good to finally talk with them in person vs electronical mail. *grin*

Met lots of new people that night. Michael, who works for Sony and has been working with Big Sky a lot in Atlanta for promotion. Very cool...finally got to meet Alan from 5SI and they rocked the place out! I enjoyed them. Alan was very friendly and so geniunely nice. I appreciated that. My brother found out he knew the middle act, Eric...they used to work in the same place so that was cool! I think my bro and crew had a great time! I know I did. *grin*

Good times at Vinyl.

Left there with Jessica and we grabbed a cab over to Atkins and The Darkhorse Tavern. We met some guys there and they were very generous...good times! Left and grabbed another cabby home...my first time in a cab, and I do it twice in one night. Good times!

Crashed at Jessica's, but I couldn't sleep all that well...weird. We both got up around 9ish/10ish and watched cable. Happiness...it's been years since I have seen a channel without snow and actually saw an MTV logo. Excitement. We went and ate at Taco Mac so I could see her place of employment. Good people there. Got to meet a few. We chatted a lot about some up and coming travel plans. Elizabeth, the bartender, is gonna help us with that. I can't wait Jessica!

Jessica dropped me off with the fam and I spent the day with my family celebrating EVAN'S SIXTH BIRTHDAY! My nephew rocks! It was a great time! We went to Dave and Busters and had dinner and played games...my neice kept on "I love you Miss Hannigan" Too much Annie, kid. *grin* As I was leaving at the end of the night, Seanie was being carried away and I was walking to my car and she is screaming over the parking lot "I LOVE YOU NANIE!" Aww I miss them!

Went to meet T at her apartment. I was apartment hopping each night, getting a variety of sleeping locations under my belt. *giggle* It is really cute! I am happy for her that she is in Atlanta and on her own. I miss my T! We got ready and headed out for BIG SKY at the Peachtree Tavern. We actually found it with no problem and *almost* got out of paying for parking, but was quickly caught...ah well.

Ran into Michael and his roomie at the show. There was not that big of a crowd there. I am *so* used to Orlando's packed out shows where I have to fight to see the band up close...but this time..no fighting. *grin* Was talking to Michael and he introduced me to the guitar player Chris...and Chris hugged me for coming. Very friendly in Atlanta. *grin* Very excited cause I purchased one of their earlier CDs with "Closing In" on it...a little different on the CD version than my favorite live version, but I still love it. They finally went on and I was singing along, like I always do...but this time Mark didn't have a lot of faces to look at, so I guess he noticed I was singing...at the break of their show, he came up and said hello. Very cool of him. I was a bit surprised by that. He wanted to chat after the show, but T and I had to go...it was good times though! I think I like Big Sky better in Atlanta.

From there, T and I went to the Waffle House and I discovered you can get your hashbrowns with more than *just* ketchup on them, although I decided to stay simple and have just that. Good times there as well. Aww "BlueStone Circle in da house" in the form of us reminising about AJ singing to us "Let's get it on" when it was coming from the jukebox through Marvin Gaye. Awww...

Crashed at T's and woke up bright and early for her to have time to get to church and me to bring the borrowed car back home. I have been hangin with the parents ever since...and re-teaching computer skills as much as I can. *grin* It's been fun so far and I had a great weekend! This is actually the condensed version. Crazy, isn't it? *grin*

Well...rejection certainly does suck, but it doesn't bring me down...I am still dreaming. Just a minor bump in my road. No worries. I felt it coming from the other party and it just figures it would happen that way. Moving on...

Yesterday was a day full of activities. I was in DRC for a much longer time than usual and then headed to do park clear. Felt like a rescue ranger, which there is nothing wrong with that, it was just a mindless effort to clear the park. Although we did hit a bump in the road for that one as well, but all was resolved by the end of the evening. Good times.

Headed home to see that Mr. J. Janis had arrived and graced our apartment with the smell of Clorox (a bit too heavy in my opinion *grin* Who wants things *that* clean?) and a bunch of "palmy" plants. It was good to see him again. He will be staying with us for awhile and I can sense a few changes coming around. Maybe cable is in the works? And a slightly cheaper rent bill. Happiness.

Spoke with Mr. JHEY today. That made my day! Trotted down to Target to get some much needed items. A couple packs of CD-Rs, a b-day present for my nephew, and picked up a copy of FeFe Dobson's CD to attribute to the Camplified video I have been enjoying her off of. Can't wait to crack into it.

Got pulled today from DRC to help out at Gateway. Good times on my end. Gonna do park clear again this evening and thankfully for the last time. Not sure how many more times I would be able to stand that. *grin* But good times are to be had when you do it with good people.

Tonight is Joey Boone's birthday/going-away party at Hooters but because of my shift I am not able to attend. Aww sadness.

After work I am going home to pack and get ready for my departure tomorrow morning to ATL. Lots of plans for the weekend so I have to rest up for it all tonight. I am meeting Jessica at the airport and soon after to meet up with B and Rach along with T. Then onto evening activities with FYC and 5SI who I am very looking forward to meeting.

Saturday is full of family-filled activities including my nephew's b-day get-together at his house and then a party at Dave and Busters...me love some Dave and Busters! Then, Sunday gonna hang with the buds. Then, back to Orlando to get back to a full week of work and VIP Tour Guide Training. I am excited!

Laters!

So I have been doing a lot of soul searching the past couple of days. Lots of questions and concerns going through my head. Also, lots of excitment and an intense yearning for a certain opportunity in my life. We shall see what will come of it, but I appreciate everyone's ever-supporting advice.

I am getting excited about this weekend. Fun times in da ATL I am sure. B got me a flight on her buddy pass. YAY! So I will be riding in style. I can't wait. Gonna hang out with all the buds for start off then headed to the club to see FYC and 5SI. Good times!

This week has been going pretty good. Just been working a lot and hanging out with Tye and Jane lately. I can't wait for a long weekend with my family and friends though! Good times!

Tonight was good times. I was already having a pretty darn good day and it did just get more fun along the way. Although the weather was a bit of a downer...it is *so* COLD out! My feet were frozen. It makes it harder for me to look "cute" in this weather. *grin*

Found Aimee, Ryan, and company at the Beach Club. It was good to see them again! Felt like old FYC times, except we have accepted a new moto in our fandom. *grin* JAW yo JAW...*grin* It's all good though, fun times for us kids!

Leslie came and met up with us and later Christie and crew (Lisa and Melissa), and then Courtney a bit later. Leslie and I were jammin along with FYC at one point and I saw Jason's sister singing along right next to me and although I had never formally met her I just smiled and gave her the rock on sign to which she came over and introduced herself. She is so adorable. She had a couple of friend's with her and they were all really fun. Glad I got to finally meet her.

I wore one of my light-up stars tonight and the darn thing fell off again. I did, eventually find the star part but not the magnet part. Ugh...I suck.

Felt pretty happy the entire night. Good times. Good company. Good drinks. Good music. Good times.

By the end of the night, we had a whole crew singing the FYC originals. It rocked! It was so nice to have that setting where more than two people knew the words to their original songs...and we were rockin out! Good times! Even Ryan and company knew the songs...good job Aimee...get them into it! Rock on!

Guy was wearing his Reese's shirt again...it's so adorable. He was nice enough to introduce me to Shannon's sister. "This is Carolyn, long-time friend and...supporter" Aww he was trying so hard not to say "fan" *grin* So cute! Thanks Guy...that was nice.

So apparently Jason's hair is the major topic with our conversations...*grin* "Who's wedding did you go to?" My friend Madison's..."Oh!" Oops forgot they had a song called Madison Yep, funny stuff.

Was about to get kicked out of the Beach Club by the whistle bricade so we stepped out before out time was due...security hates me there for *some* reason. *giggle* Headed out and froze all the way home. Thank goodness for a warm car and no breakdowns.

Got home and getting ready to crash for a long day of work ahead of me. No day off until the weekend and then I am going to ATL for a FYC show and family/friend time! Cannot wait! Good times!

Fun fun fun times! Good times at Madison's wedding! I was really worried that I was gonna be late, but getting there exactly on time was actually early in "Madison time" *grin* She was a bit late, but it was because of the hair stylist. She is too cute! Saw lots of work people there. Lisa and Andy, Monica and hubby with the kids as well (too cute!), Maryanne, Anne, Rennie, Darren, Juliet and a few ex-Guest Relations people as well. All were so much fun! Especially when the alcohol got involved. *grin*

Lots of hotties at this wedding...a lot of Marines. Good times. After the cute ceremony, we all headed to the Ritz-Carlton for the reception. Yea...no self-parking. Only Valet, but thankfully it was complimentary because we were in with the wedding. Good times! Almost some drama there cause the no-choice valet is normally $10. Yikes.

It was so nice. Open bar *grin* Drinking at noon is somewhat not wanted, but when it's free, what does the time matter? *grin* "Would you like some wine? Would you like some wine?" I swear I turned them down the first three times, and then had to cave in on the fourth.

So, this one waiter was carrying around some eggrolls. We had not eaten anything yet for the day so with our wine we had some....*very* good vegetable eggrolls and I was highly recommending them to my crew and when he came around again they all pointed behind me and the waiter was there with two left offering one to me. *grin* My crew all said in unison "He's back!" *grin* How embarrassing...so Darren takes a pic of me and Bryan as he calls me the "eggroll girl" Oh dear. *blush*

So the story of a drunk Monica and an insistent Lisa and Carolyn with a big mouth. *grin* Of course, the following is all done in love and in fun, but oh dear...First drunk Monica and I were dancing and she all of a sudden pulls a random Marine on me and I dance with him. Omar was cool, very nice and cute, but not really my style of dancing so it really didn't flow well.

Basically I made a few comments on who my favorite boys were in the room. One being a Marine...(he was a hottie!), one being the guy who escorted Juliet down the isle, and the other being the best man. Well....let's just say, but the end of the day (and even when I had left already) ALL of those guys who knew I was and that I thought they were hot. Oh geez. The Marine was the most fun though. His name is Jason and he is Todd's roomie (Madison's now hubby). Lisa went up to him when I wasn't paying attention...then I saw her talking to him and I *knew* what she was saying. Ohh Lisa. *blush* He turns and looks at me and smiles. She comes back to the table and tells me that she asked if he was gonna dance some more a bit later and if he wanted to dance with that "cute little blond at my table" and he said something along the lines of yea. Oh dear.

So wait a bit and fast forward and I see him coming towards the table. Geez...I felt like a twelve year old who's mom just slipped an older boy a $5 to dance with their daughter. He was very sweet though and very cool about it. So I danced with him for some song that I couldn't keep the beat very well to...I need more rockin songs to dance to. We chatted and I mentioned that I had to pace myself on the drinking cause I had to be awake enough tonight and he asked what I was doing...so I mentioned PI and blah blah blah and he said "hmm, I might just have to stop by" yea, we shall see about that. But he was nice anyways. Good times.

Never has it occurred where I am sitting in a nice black evening dress with my friends all around me having a great time, a four course meal brought to me at perfect timing, and THREE different alcoholic drinks in front of me at once and a waiter behind me asking if I want anything else AND a hot Marine guy asking me to dance. GOOD TIMES!

This was a great wedding.

Came home to clean up a bit and get some things done seeing as though this is my only day off until I go to Atlanta next weekend. Gonna be so much fun, but also crazy and unrelaxing so I have to take as much time as I can for that to prepare.

Gonna go catch the last PI show for FYC. It's sad..I hope they come back soon. *crosses fingers* I know I will see them in da ATL next weekend, but I think they really got the hang of the Beach Club and all and made it really enjoyable...it's the most I have been to PI in a long time. But once they leave I will be heading back to Margaritaville for my cover band hits. GO BLUESTONE! *grin*

Here's for a great night!

First I would like to start off my post by thanking all the readers of this journal. I know that may not be *many*, but I have it calculated that yesterday this website had over 10,000 hits since just a year ago from October, when this website has been available a year before that so thank you to all who read this site. Granted most of those hits have probably been me checking on the site, but I *know* I couldn't have done it all myself. So thanks and hope you keep reading!

Today is Madison's wedding! YAY! So I have been searching all morning for the invitation and the directions. I found em. Whew. Good times.

Let's go back to yesterday. Yesterday was okay at work. Not good, but not bad either. Some cool things occurred and some not so cool things occurred as well, but I typically like to keep the bad things away from my journal. *grin*

John Dontrich was talking with this hottie guest outside the window and he came in and told me to go to the back...he met me there and told me that the kid was Patrick of the boy group Natural. *giggle* I love it that people think that cause I love *NSYNC so much, that I would flip out when seeing any boyband member of any ole boyband. *grin* But he was still a hottie, I just giggled and went about the day. John Dontrich is cute!

Got to work the window with Stacey most of the day. She is adorable. So cute! She always makes things more enjoyable. With Kimberly added to the mix, we had three of the the blondest (just by hair color of course), most bubbly and happy Guest Relations girls at Epcot in the window. It was fun with them!

I closed with Dong. He is fun to talk to cause we always end up talking about the meaning of words and it makes it fun for me to help him out and learn more about stuff when I am trying to help him with English and whatnot. Good times!

Made some magic...and then rushed out to get ready for PI.

Got to PI about the same time as the night before. 9:45ish. I was impressed with myself, with getting out of work at 9:30. Go me. Saw Courtney and Melissa. They were pretty much the only ones on the floor when I arrived, but that didn't last too long. Theresa came! YAY. And Christie, Lisa, and their friend Melissa came a bit later. It was good dancin times! *grin*

Again the boys did great. Guy was having a good time...I think he is getting used to the Beach Club and feels comfy in it. Good times. Jason was in a good mood again and I am glad for that. He had nice hair too the *entire* time. *giggle* Kevin was hilarious as usual. He is a nut. Fish was smiley...I think I need to nickname him that. He is always smiling and singing the lyrics to the songs they are playin...I like that. He really gets into it. I am glad they look like they are enjoying themselves and glad they are all feeling better....

I met two couples out on the dance floor and they were *so* intoxicated...the two girls both had light-up stars on them so I asked them where they got those and how much they cost cause I *love* stars and they totally did not hesitate and took theirs off and gave me *both*. I was floored. They were so sweet! I told them they made a "magical moment" but they probably have no idea what that is, but they were adorable. We danced with them for a bit and took pictures. So cute! Only I guess I was a bit too excited and danced too much cause I looked down and one of the stars was missing, so we all just kinda freaked out and started looking around....it was funny. More than four people started helping me look around the floor, so it was kinda obvious that I had dropped something *coughKevincough* but I found the star and THEN I found the magnet...that was harder, but rock on. I found it! *grin*

Saw my UK guests outside the Beach Club when I was leaving and I said hello to them and Sally was so cute saying "I love it that you remembered *us*. How do you do that?" and I told her I only remember my special guests. *grin* So adorable.

By the end of the night, I was feeling great and having a good time. Too bad Closing Time had to come. Ah well...good times and I am ready to do it again tonight.

But first, Madison's wedding. It's gonna be fun! I will tell ya all about it later!

Yesterday, I had a great day at work. Gateway rocks! It is perfect because you get little spurts of busyness and then it�s dead for a while. Plus I get to listen to my music and people watch. Two of my favorite things to do.

I had two of the cutest guests who wanted to buy tickets from me and wanted them to include Pleasure Island because they wanted to go that evening. I held back in wanting to tell them about FYC playing because it really wasn�t professional, even if it was promoting something on property. But they were so adorable and we chatted for a bit. They were from the UK and you *know* how I love people from the UK! *grin*

Got off of work on time *yay* and headed to change and meet my crew at PI. A lot of people showed up, but always in spurts, but at least they came! First it was Nick and Dwight, and then Leslie came with Mike, Steve, and Nick. Tim and Brandy showed up and they are the cutest people ever. So adorable. Ready to drink whatever color they think of. They started with �blue� and moved onto something �red� and then I joined in with them for a �purple.� Very fun�that is when we met Trey. He is a hottie and starting on the College Program working at Epcot (how happy am I? *grin*). He will be working at the Electric Umbrella and he has *no* idea what that means. He is too cute and so excited! I enjoyed him.

Then, Traci and Rich came, followed shortly by Sarah and Joelle. Christie also came and thankfully, her Canadian boy showed up too. Good for her, he *is* a hottie! YAY! Madison and bachlorette party in tote came for a bit! Juliet was there with them and they were all looking so cute! Madison�s wedding is on Saturday so it�s gonna be fun! I can�t wait!

Leo came a bit later to stop in and say hello. He is so cute and he was *so* soft last night�.*grin* So all in all about nineteen people showed up to see FYC and party for a bit, so I was happy with that! Good times!

I also saw my UK guests in there. I gave my drink to Sarah and went up to them and said �Weren�t you at Epcot today?� and the women grabbed me and said, �It�s the girl who sold us our tickets!� and she was so excited! They were adorable. She kept hugging me and was clearly more intoxicated then I, but so cute! Later on, she came up and introduced herself as Sally and her hubby as Andrew. They were fun and enjoyed FYC as well!

The show was great. The boys were rockin it and seemed to be enjoying every bit. I love it when they smile on stage. Guy even got a little adventurous and sat on the stage. Very cool my friend. I enjoyed that. Fish put on some dude�s cowboy hat and BIG sunglasses to spice it up a bit and because the guy *really* wanted him to. *giggle* Good stuff. Kevin used the light-up drumsticks that I had given him for a soft song that he could use them for. Aww. Jason seemed to be in a great mood so I am glad for him for that. It showed on stage and made others have a good time. Good times had by all. They rock! There was quite a bit of a crowd last night. I was impressed with the amount of cast members inside of the Beach Club�there were tons outside and in Motions, but quite a few in there as well. Good times!

Met some new FYC fans, Adriena and Drew. They work at Magic Kingdom and really loved FYC (um, cause who doesn�t?) and are already planning their next show to come to. I expect to see them often at Orlando shows. Good times!

Juliet came back from Motions during the very last song of the night Closing Time and was so drunk. She was cute though�at least I got to see her smile and be happy. It�s been awhile. She was dancing and trying to sit on the floor. Oh dear. I took her outside and found Madison and troop and made sure that they had designated drivers and they did, so that was perfect. Good times!

Headed out and headed home to where I crashed and had the weirdest dreams ever. Strange.

I close the window tonight and then doing it all over again at PI, but this time with different people coming and hopefully another opportunity to showcase FYC to them. Good times!

YAY! What a great day so far. Happiness all over the place! But, I will start with all the fun I had yesterday first.

I had picked up Amy Jo at the airport on Tuesday night. So glad to have her back. I hope she thinks the same soon, but seems like she is still stuck in Illinois.

We crashed and woke up in time to go meet Kevin and Shea outside of MK to play. Shea is so adorable. She came from Colorado/Arizona to see if she would be able to work with Fifth Year Crush and getting them hooked up with tour dates.

So we started off in the MK and went on The Tomorrowland Transit Authority...then Space Mountain and so on. Good times! We headed to Epcot and met some cute people on the way. They were a mother/daughter team and so adorable. They overheard me telling Shea about Test Track and they said "She KNOWS what she is talking about" *grin* Then, they asked Kevin if he worked here and he was so proud to say "Well this week I do" *grin*

They hung out with us a bit so we could show them the highlights of Epcot. We took them on the "slow moving time travel" ride, Spaceship Earth. Good times. I think they liked it.

They left us soon after and we proceeded onto Mission:Space and Test Track. Then onto the countries. Good times! After Illuminations, it was getting a bit nippy...we just wanted warmness...headed back to the Comfort Inn, which is NOT very comforting. It's like Fort Knox getting into that place. Ugh, Hate those people...finally got in and we decided we would go to my apartment and chill out. Tye was there and Amy Jo came over. We played Scrabble..."Freak Baby and Company" aka Me and Shea *almost* won, but were taken by Amy Jo AND Kevin...bad times. *grin*

Spent some time with the roomie just talking and catching up. Good times...crashed and woke up in time to get ready for work. Been working at Gateway with some funny kids. I enjoy Mr. Craig Pastrana. He cracks me up. AND he had Mr. JT on his radio Rock Your Body Go boy!

It's been a good day today. Good guests, good people, good times.

I am excited for this evenings activities. Lots of people claim they are coming, so they better show up! It's gonna be good times seeing FYC. I can feel it. I just want to par-tay tonight.

Oh if it were just a "Simple Plan" my friends.

Sorry, but still in that mind set. I haven't let it pass yet and I doubt I ever will.

Yesterday was pretty good at the help desk. Wasn't so crazy. Traci made me laugh...Tim was hilarious as well. Good times!

Rushed out of work to change and make it in time at PI to catch two sets of FYC playin. Good times. Met up with Christie whom *all* the guys adored. We played a game of pool, both of us sucking bad. Not good, but fun anyways.

Saw my bar peeps. They are cute. "Not drinking tonight ey?" *grin* I enjoy them.

Ran into Kevin and Guy. They are good kids...I enjoyed Guy's "Camp Modin" cap. He is adorable.

Clarissa, Vinny, Diago, and Chieko all came to see FYC and say hey. They are very cool! They really liked the band, so that is good! Got to spend some "outside of work" time with them. They are fun! I took them back to The Commons and headed back home to crash.

Today was my day off...so I really didn't have anything to do, amazingly enough, but I decided to go ahead and get my oil changed...yea....so that estimated wait time of one hour turned into a four hour adventure. I had to get two new tires (went to the Car Care Center instead of my oil changing place of Midas because of the huge price difference) BUT the Car Care Center guys rocked and I am now in love with them!

After the car fiasco, I came back home and assisted Tye in making his momma's potatoe casserole. Then, changed and headed to see Leslie/Amy JO/Jackie's new place. It is really spacious. I like it! Very nice ladies!

Gots to go for now...Tye is calling me for dinner! I will talk soon...

Yea...can't stop playing this song. Reminds me of....nevermind. Ugh...

So anyways. Today was a good day. I trained Junko. She is in our department for a month cross-uing from Downtown Disney. She knows mostly everything. I basically just showed her where the bathrooms were backstage and how to get a key for her fund. Everything else she blew me away with. She rocks! Good day though. We went around the entire park. Did some property knowledge attractions and got a lot of information. It was fun!

Came home, made dinner and cleaned up a bit. Been listening to my music all night. I love just being at home and in my element. Good times!

Tomorrow before work I am gonna try to do some shopping. Then, heading to close the help desk...getting off rather late at 11 then going straight to PI to catch the last set of FYC. Good times!

Life sucks sometimes when it doesn't go the way you want it to. There was a time where everything was perfect....or so I thought. Then, he just went away and stopped talking to me...any reason why? I have no idea.

Night.

It's been a good couple of days into the New Year. Yesterday I worked at the window and the day went by pretty fast. I met up with Stephanie, who drove down from Atlanta to visit her boy in Tampa and came to see me for the night. YAY! We went to Margaritaville for dinner. Good stuff. We got to catch up! It was good to see her again. She had to leave early to head back to Tampa, but Lisa came and met up with me later to see I-4 play on the main stage.

I-4 has gone through a lot of changes since the last time that I saw them. Lots of appearance, personality, and musical changes. Not all for the better in my opinion, but the majority of the night was good. I love their original stuff, their Canon in D Major preformance, Devil went down to GA was great, and their new original stuff was awesome! Scott was nice and came over to say hello and Ben along with Andy pretty much seemed like their humble selves, but other than that I could have lived without the persona's that they are putting on.

I left early cause I needed to do a tour today, but when I got to work bright and early this morning, I found out that there was no tour today. I knew that we had ended having Saturday tours for this new year, but for some reason they scheduled me for one anyways. So as soon as I got there and clocked in, I was clocking out to leave and come back home to sleep for a few more hours.

Woke up about the time my tour would have been over. Good times. Hung out with Tye and then talked to Jonathan for awhile. It was good to catch up with him! I miss him! It's been awhile.

Went to do some shopping. I bought some much needed shoes for work. I like them. Trendy but comfy and that is what I need. The guy who helped me ROCKED! He used to work at the Moroccon Pavillan at Epcot and he was so friendly and nice. I enjoyed him! Good work ethic and politeness without being pushy at all.

Went to the grocery store and stocked up on some party items, just in case. *grin*

Might be going out with Leslie and friends tonight...not sure. Might be going back to Margaritaville, but I highly doubt it. Too much crowd and not sure it's worth another night. We shall see.

Well, this New Year's was eventful at least. Typically in the past few years growing up, I would just sit at home watching the new year come over television and usually by myself. The past couple of years I have been able to spend it with friends in Orlando and even so this year, it was the same story, but with friends at work...cause I worked New Year's Eve at Epcot. Crazy stuff...crazy stuff.

Worked the help desk from 5:30-2:15AM. It was nuts! I did multiple van runs, one of which took a good two hours with a guest, another with an intoxicated guest who had no idea where she was, and another one with a guest who was afraid of the incredible crowds we were having. It was nuts. Couldn't even move in the park, like at all.

Had some crazy issues going on with some guests who were milking the system for all it was worth, but I helped put an end on that. They annoyed me big time. Not cool folks, not cool.

It was a good New Year's Eve though because we got to watch the fireworks and we all got to spend it together...even if we all had to work, we might as well all get to work *together* with great people. Good times!

Joey Boone and Aimee were the first to call and wish me a Happy New Year! Thanks guys and Happy New Year to you as well!

Came home and crashed. Had to wake up for work today at the window. Found out I was working with Joey Boone, Rennie, and Leo. It was gonna be a good night..I already knew. And it was for the most part a pretty good day. EXCEPT when Joey Boone was mean to me....but then he made up for it, so I forgave him. *grin* I love finding notes all over the place...still looking for one though.

Walked by Derek today with his crew of Lex Luther and party. Very cool.

Talked to Steph today. It was good talking to her! She is gonna try to come up from Tampa to visit tomorrow after I get off of work. We are gonna hopefully get to hook up over at Margaritaville and then watch I-4 play for a bit. Gonna be good times!

I seriously can't wait for my next day off. I am beat! And pretty tired of helping people...well not really, but I am just sleepy. Yesterday wore me out good! I need to recover.

Aww got to talk to Will today! He is back from Korea for a bit anyways. Good to hear from you buddy! Hope all is well.

Going to hit the sack, I am beat! Talk later!
