"We already have some crazies down here and I enjoy that" Justin of Honestly. You a funny boy *grin*

I love Honestly. Honestly, I do. I am watching the video from the other night. So good...so good.

So happy freaking Leap Year day...what a crazy day. I have never once ever been late or called in to my current job, it's totally unlike me, but I woke up late this morning...and high-tailed it to work, making it just in time for my guests on my Segway tour, but still whew, not cool.

So that threw off my entire day. I haven't been feeling well lately anyways, so it was just a crazy day. The Segway tour went well, but there were a couple of guests on the tour that made me question a few things and change the way I will approach things on the tour for the future, and I guarantee that there will be some pics and scripts about the tour on the internet within the next few days. Interesting.

So after the tour, I went on to be DRC Coordinator and it was *so* cold up there. It wasn't too bad though even though I wasn't feeling up to speed at all today, I just did my job and then left.

Nick and his friend came to visit though. Aww..good to see you boy!

Came home and crashed. Took a LONG nap...just woke up actually. Ordered a pizza and am hanging out. The crew went to see a movie tonight, but I have a tour in the morning and I ain't arriving late for any more. That sucked. No more!

Amy J...you freakin crack me up. Your blog made me laugh contiunally for the good ten minutes it took for me to get through it all. You are so funny! And I can even laugh at the parts you totally called me out on. Goof...so hilarious though.

Crazy day, full of new information. I am not sure I like this kind of information. It is better just not knowing sometimes, but then again I am so curious that I like to know at the same time. Darn it. I need to get out of my runt.

SO...Jessica...we are going to New York this weekend! I cannot wait! Gonna be hella good times!

These past two days have rocked! Disclaimer: Long post.

I had Thursday and Friday off. Jocelyn came into town from New York. She got to hang out with J dawg most of Thursday since that was designated "Jonathan's Day with Jocelyn" and they went to the museum. Good times. I went and ran errands all day long. Met up with Amy J to have dinner and discuss our issues at the Ale House. Amy J showed up with $11 dollar boots (okay I said it, happy girl?)

We were sitting at the booth at the Ale House when we saw a guy that we *knew* we knew...but we also knew he was creepy. His name Clint and he was a security guard at both Epcot and MGM so that is how we *both* knew him. Nice guy...he bought us drinks...rock on. We hung out with him and his WDI friends for a bit then hit the road towards Cheers to meet up with Nick and friends.

Apparently when going to Cheers on Thursday nights, you *should* bring a large mug WITH a handle. Who knew there were rules? My cup had no handle. Darn it. BUT Amy J's did, so good times. Met Dave and Jimmy (guys who looked a hella-v-lot like the dudes for SNL). Their mugs were large enough to fit their entire heads in.

Dave and Jimmy were heading off to PI and invited us so we all went thinking we were just going in for The Comedy Warehouse, but we were late...so we went and danced at 8Trax and Motions for a bit....lost Dave. Where did you go? Then, went back for the late late showing of the improv show. It sucked. Not funny at all with the exception of the fish story.

Got home and crashed...Jocelyn and J-dawg stayed up all night talking on the internet. Good times.

Moving onto Friday. Good times!

Woke up in the afternoon...along with the rest of my clan. Went to the grocery store, bank, and grabbed some lunch. Came back home to wake up my crew and feed them some lunch. Cleaned a bit for my guests and hung out with Jocelyn and Jonathan while Jonathan got ready for Mr. Clay Aiken.

Leslie bailed on us because she wasn't feeling well, but she came over to have dinner with us anyways to see Jocelyn and hang out for a few. Kevin and Matt came down from Gainesville to come to the show and showed up next. Tye came out and was social for a bit. Thanks roomie! Wish you could have come. Then, Amy J showed up. We headed on downtown to The Social and met up with Jason, who also came from Gainesville. Rock on Jason, you wore your Rockets shirt...I *so* won the bet. Ha Kevin! Told ya!

Got to The Social, peed and then it was perfect timing for Honestly's show. ROCK On kids. That show was awesome...and so tight. It was *so* good to see them perform again. Major withdrawal on this end. The rock and Jason and Kevin thought so as well...as I knew they would. Good times!

Amy J and I are watching the video now as we speak watching Honestly rock everyone's socks off. They always gain so many new fans at each preformance...and no wonder. They are really good about the interaction with the fans in the crowd...before, during, and after the show...that is what makes them even better as a band, that and the fact that they all seem to like each other and back each other up. I love that.

After their set, Rob appeared immediately after to say hey...such good guys. Saw the rest of them shortly after. Got to hang out with Joe a bit more this time around...and the Matt's. Jocelyn LOVED them...as she should. Nick and his friend Sherry were all into them too. I love those boys...

So Rob reads this crap....*grin* Hey boy! Funny times!

Kevin and Matt were back and forth from Tabu, but Jason stayed on and watched the entire time. They were all really impressed with their stage presence and professionalism. Matt was even grooving to them. "Let's go down on the floor" Right on Matt, right on.

Even after the show, Rob was too awesome in talkin to Jason about a possible show swap. How happy would I be about that? Rock on...Honestly and FYC the same night. Make me happy boys....rock it out! We *will* drive to ATL...done it before and I will do it again and again.

OH WE LOVE HONESTLY!!!

Now, onto Big Sky. They rocked it out as well! Not as friendly as they were in da ATL, but that is understood seeing as though they have way more fans to talk with and hang out with in Orlando. It's all good. Still got to see a couple of them and chat. Ben was funny. Kept making fun of Kevin...aww poor boy. Good times! Ben was wearing an Honestly shirt, how cool was he? Good supporting...and one more thing on fashion blog here: Joe had on a hot white belt that said JOE! You rock boy...and when you danced...even hotter.

Rob through the drum stick at us again and landed on my foot yet again, and without me even moving, Amy J screamed "I got it!" and ran to grab it. So funny!

Anyways back to Big Sky...good show...good tunes. They rocked it out. Bigger crowd for Big Sky, but all these people were surrounding Honestly to tell them how much they rocked. Yay for them!

They played This is Goodbye YAY!!! Such a great song...I was happily surprised that they played it! Way to switch things up for us boys. Happiness. But one of my favorite times of the evening was Strange Way! I love that song live...we just contiunally jump...good times!

So at the end of the night...we couldn't find Kevin and Matt...but knew they were in Tabu. We went in to find them...found Kevin with Tiffany hanging out and Matt with his tongue down some chick's throat.....go Matt! I am glad someone was getting some. *grin*

Waited with Amy J for a bit outside and we saw a fight...funny crap too. The guy fell down like SO many times...wimp. *grin* The cops were out there in two seconds..and then were laughing cause the guy was so lit. Listened to Michael Jackson and JC Chasez blasting through the club while we waited on the boys to finish up. Matt decided he would meet us in the morning, which was fine and we all headed back to my place.

Got everyone ready to crash, but some funnier stuff happened in the evening time then during the show. Jocelyn cracked me up. She was SO funny. She had to take a shower cause of the smoke smell (that we just all have gotten so used to after a show) and when she was coming back she said the funniest things...one right after the other...like in the same breath:

Jocelyn-you cracked us up. Amy J and I were spooning and were DYING laughing. Jocelyn was on the inflatable and Kevin and Tiffany were spooning on the couch bed. Tye and J-dawg were in their respectable beds and it was all fun. We didn't go to sleep until 5 in da AM. We were giggling half the time...so funny.

To be honest, we were a little paranoid since Rob told us that he read our blogs, so we went back into our Archives to make sure it wasn't too embarrassing for us...Amy J was happy that she just simply put it as that she wanted to "make out or make babies" with Rob...and I was just my normal dorkiness in posting...good times!

Good times. We woke up around 9ish to say goodbye to Jocelyn. Kevin got ahold of Matt and told him how to get to my place. I was Betty Crocker and made cinnamon rolls for everyone. They were yummy.

Jonathan had some good news from the concert so we heard about his adventures. Good for him! *grin*

Matt came and they had to book it to Gainesville to get there in time for soccer/work respectively. Glad you guys came boys! It was fun!

Now Amy J and I are reliving last night, watching the video and laughing. Good times!

I LOVE THIS VIDEO! No worries Kevin, you are getting a copy.

Now onto shower...shower..shower! And work...gonna be a long day.

Today was good times!

Nina wanted me to do a special tour for the MK Vacation Planner Trainer's Retreat so I kinda came up with a cool mini-tour combining UFW and Kimmie Sue's pull at Mission:Space and Test Track.

It was looking like rain all morning, but it held off until right after we got done with the tour. Thank you! The tour went a little over the time limit, but we got all of it accomplished and I think it was successfully fun! *grin* The cast members were so nice and fun! I think it was a hit.

After the tour, I got to get off a bit early, which was great cause I wasn't feeling all that well and the rain was coming down in blankets so I just wanted to come home, cuddle up with my blanket and watch a movie. So...I did.

I started watching Bridget Jones' Diary and fell asleep. I woke up around 7ish, went to the grocery store *still raining* and came home to finish with laundry and cleaning up.

Jocelyn comes in tomorrow. YAY! Good times! Honestly and Big Sky are playing on Friday night at The Social! I can't wait! Kevin may come down....you better come boy! It's gonna be a F-U-N night, let me tell ya!

Trent paged me about a tour, which I am mucho excited about and I told him yes, but no call back yet...hmm...

Sarah got to babysit for Jordan (2 year old girl) last night and said they were the cutest family. Aww good for her! I am glad she got to do it! I would have much rather done that then played for the "mean softball team" but either way, glad someone I knew got to help them out!

Tours have been really fun lately, but definitely draining at the same time. All of them are always SO early in the morning...and as you people know...I am *not* a morning person...but ah well, I love these tours, so it makes it worth it.

So...both Leslie and Kate have been raving about JC's new album...guess I am behind in getting it, but no worries...I will...I will!

Good times...heading to bed now in a few...I am *so* tired regardless of my nap earlier today. I close the help desk tomorrow though so at least I can *finally* sleep in tomorrow. Happiness!

Today was a full day. Got to work around 6:30ish in da morning. Met up with Theresa to discuss DRC Coordinator stuff and then headed on down to do Segway tour stuff. It was fun. Worked with Robbie and Norm on the tour. The guests were great! Very excited and did really well. We had a media guy named Kent who took photos of us doing the tour for press coverage to let everyone know what we are doing.

Torrey called me and wanted to see if I knew of anyone who could babysit her brother's friend's child tonight and I said I could do it, but then remembered I had already committed to the GR Stars for the softball game, so had to tell her. Sucked though. I felt bad and what's even funnier is her brother's friend is one of the members of Sister Hazel. I hope they found someone at least to help them out...I tried. Ah well. Can't help it if I had already committed to something. Have to be true to my word.

After the tour, I headed to DRC, but Theresa let me work on my special tour stuff for tomorrow since I couldn't get ahold of a lot of the key people until today. I have some cool things planned for tomorrow so I think it shall be fun!

Brad asked me to help him out for a tour on Friday with a large group for the UFW tour, so I am excited about that as well! He also asked if I might be interested in helping him with the training class of the new UFW guides. YAY! That would be great. It would be right after my trip to NY so it would be awesome timing!

Came home and had to hurry to get changed and ready....go to Walmart to get a ball/glove and rush to Wide World of Sports to *find* the softball fields. Couldn't find them for anything. Found a cast member who didn't know what to tell me even...then found another player from another team who was lost with me, but we both decided we would walk and find our own way...and we did, but I was late. My team was about to forfeit and had been waiting on me for at least fifteen minutes. Oops...they wouldn't have been able to play though if I hadn't come. I felt so bad.

So...ANDY I thought this was really gonna be FUN THIS TIME. Now I remember why I quit last time. It wasn't fun...it was people getting upset at how they played. Why can't we just have fun and not worry so much about winning. Geez. I played catcher, which wasn't the best idea, but I wasn't really that bad, I just didn't catch every single ball...and I need to work on my throwing, but geez I do need some practice...maybe if we PRACTICED...but oh well, I will still probably play...I am just gonna try to tell them we need more FUN then stress. Geez...smile will ya! But I do adore Bob Pattee and Andy...they were still really positive even though they were down on themselves. Thanks for that boys.

The GREAT thing about the game was that Tye, Libby, Jackie, and Rich were all there to cheer us on. Cindy Litteral came to check us out, but decided she wouldn't play cause they were too competitive. I agreed. But ah well, what can you do. Good friends cheered me on regardless...and that was fun!

We all went to Wendy's for dinner and chatted. Came home and now I am beat.

Think I would have rather babysat...

Gonna get to bed to AGAIN wake up at the break of dawn...but then I get to sleep in after tomorrow! Good times!

Night!

What a great day!

I was so nervous and worried about my tour today....but it was WONDERFUL! Better than I could have ever expected or planned. I loved my tour family!

I was at the MK rather early this morning and saw Adam at City Hall, all cute in his tour costume. He had wonderful, encouraging things to say. Totally needed that!

Went to meet my guest at the podium of Cindy's and then the rest of my guests at Dumbo. They rock! They are from Alabama. They were the nicest family. The kids were great, the adults so much fun and up for anything. I adored them!

Macy and Mary Sears were ten and wanted me to ride with them on everything. Rich and David were spunky and cute little boys who were mostly up for everything. So cute when we found out Rich was tall enough for all the rides. Sage was the cutest little four year old girl. She had the brightest smile, very quiet, but so sweet! Macy thanked me personally at almost every attraction for getting them fast passes. So cute!

It was just an altogether awesome tour. Everything worked out. We got done about twelve attractions in less than four hours. It was a very eventful and fun day. No rushing, but excitement. Everyone was so appreciative and just had a great time!

Macy and Mary Sears stayed with me for a bit while the rest of the family went back to rest at their resort and we rode two attractions and I took them back to the resort to swim. They requested me again for tomorrow, but they couldn't switch my schedule since I have to do a Segway tour tomorrow. Oh I loved that family. So great!

Thanks to everyone who gave me such great advice and encouragement...hence Libby, Jonathan, Tye, Adam, Juliet, and all my peeps at Epcot and Guest Relations! You kids rock my world!

What a great day!

So tomorrow is the Segway tour and I am excited! Wish I could be with my tour family tomorrow, but I do so love the Segway tour. It's good times!

Watching what? Yep...Sex In The City yet again. I am ready to go Jessica...gettin the lingo down for our NY trip...it's apparently all about sex. *giggle* Just kidding.

J-dawg came back last night. Yay! The apartment is back to normal again.

Took a bath...felt so nice! Now I am more relaxed and comfy. My feet hurt SO bad from my heels and walking ALL of MK..a LOT of times today, but it was worth it!

Gonna go to bed and wake up, yet again, quite EARLY...but good times!

Today was the first day I got to act as DRC Coordinator and it was good times. It is a lot harder than I thought it was to be quite honest. Granted most of the time was downtime, but the beginning and the end of the day was pretty full of activities.

Chiyako was a GREAT help though. I love her!!!

JeffFilko came to visit..he is such a fun manager. Got to spend some time with A Bonds today too, good times!

So I went back to Blockbuster and got two other discs of Sex In The City, which I am happily watching now. I am so ready for my trip to NY. SO ready! Let's go Jess!

I have my second VIP Tour tomorrow at the MK. Good times ahead, I hope. It is still pretty busy at the parks though and that makes me a bit nervous, but excited to start again with a new family.

When I got home today, I picked up the mail...and I got lots today. Yay! Got a card from Kate...THANKS girl...cutest stickers ever! Got a card from my Aunt!! You rock Aunt Mel, Thanks! And I got the cutest thing I think I have ever received...EVER! When Kevin's family was visiting from Texas, he brought them to Epcot and I got to spend some time with them and literally fell in love with them. They are the nicest people EVER! Kevin's cousins, Connor & Dylan, and Kevin's uncle wrote me the sweetest thank you card for spending time with them. They even sent a photo they took of Kevin and I in front of Spaceship Earth and a pic of Connor & Dylan. SO cute! Aww...that day I spent with them really made me want to be apart of random families lives like we do in tour guiding...I came home LOVING that day! So great! Sweetest people ever and that card made my day! Thanks guys!

Went and ran some errands...got a photo frame for my picture that my dad had blown up for me of Illuminations: Reflections of Earth. Hung the picture frame in our apartment! So cute! Went to the grocery store and then to the bank. UGH, I hate money...too much of a situation for me always. Why can't everyone just live comfortably and not have to worry all the time...and it always involves some kind of a worry over *money*. Money sucks.

Anyways time to hit the sack...tour tomorrow! Then Segway on Monday...then a Special Tour on Tuesday...gonna be good times...good times!

Sittin here watching yet another episode of Sex in the City. Jessica, you would be proud! *grin*

Today was a pretty uneventful day.......was at Gateway, hanging out with Pastrana for most of the day. One of the highlights of the day was getting to eat lunch with A. Bonds and Andy. Funny kids.

Second highlight of the day is something highly *teenie bopper* of me, but I was riding the bus to Cast Services from Gateway when we stopped at the American Adventure bus stop and Jennifer McGill stepped on the bus.

It's so weird. To think that I grew up watching The Mickey Mouse Club episodes dreaming of being at WDW and doing what those kids were doing and then I was sitting on the bus near one of the star players of that show. It was funny too because I think I was the only one on the bus who knew her from that show. Otherwise it was two older Japanese Cast Members, and three older Cast Members that probably didn't have a clue either.

I wonder if she randomly picks out people who might have known her as a MMC Cast Member who kids grew up watching. So strange. I am, however, very thankful that I didn't have my *NSYNC lunchbox that I typically carry to work today cause that would have been weird. To see her friends faces on my lunchbox. What a dork. I was, however, carrying my *NSYNC bag like usual, but the *NSYNC logo was not seen, thank goodness.

All I wanted to do all day was come home, cuddle up with my afgan that my mom made me, have some soup and watch Sex in the City. Yay. I have reached my goal. Good times!

I have to wake up at the break of dawn tomorrow for my first DRC coordinator shift...so therefore sleep is gonna come early tonight for me.

I keep thinking back to June....why can't I turn back time...do things a bit different...I think the outcome might have still turned out a bit the same way it did, but there might have been one small chance it could have been different. But would that be a good different? Oh I wish I knew.

I am sitting here watching the ninth episode of Sex in the City in a row. Thanks to Jessica who got me a BlockBuster Gift Card specifically for this rental for our trip to NY CITY! I can't wait!

So let me back track a bit. On Tuesday I had my very first VIP tour. It was okay. My family was a bit weird. They just didn't seem to enjoy MGM as a whole, but it was a good experience. I learned that it can be enjoyable and it can be a huge stress and challenge at the same time. Craziness.

Got home from that and crashed. Tye had his first VIP tour that day too so we were both so tired! I ordered a pizza cause I hadn't had anything but four granola bars all day long and fell asleep.

I had Wednesday off...thank goodness. Slept in like nobody knows....then went to play at the batting cages with Traci. Good times. I can't wait for Monday...GO STARS!

Came back home and met up with Tye. We chatted....then Anthony called to get our plans together for our date. We met up at City Walk and went to Margaritaville. GOOD TIMES!

It's funny how the boys get friendlier some days and not so friendly others. But Dave, AJ, and Roger were all fairly friendly last night. They are so cute. I love it when there is a common knowledge between us when we are laughing at some dancers on the dance floor or just something they did on the stage that wasn't quite correct. Good times.

Traci, Rich, and friends came and met up with us there, but since it was a bit slower at Margaritaville, BSC ended their set early at 12:30AM. That sucked, but figured since no one was there. Craziness.

Came home and crashed. Got up to work the window and spent the day with Guest Relations people. It wasn't such a bad day, but plenty of guests were very quick at trying to start arguments when I was trying to help them...craziness.

I got a package from the parents today finally....it was my birthday present...that the post office brought me WAY late! My dad had taken this incredible photo of Illuminations:Reflections of Earth with the fireworks and the Earth Globe while they were visiting last and he blew the photo up for me in poster size. Good times! I LOVE it!

So much is going on right now...I will chat later...

And HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO KAREN!

Today I worked at the window and it was CRAZY. The line was nuts. But I worked with awesome people so it was good times. Went to lunch with Andrea and had good tour talks and such. She is so cute! When coming back from lunch though we had a guest situation and so helped out with that then went back to the window.

Got a call from Glen about my tour. Good times! MGM it is folks...tomorrow...wish me luck! I am excited. My first ever VIP tour! YAY!

Talked to Nina today about the tour she wants me to do. It sounds so exciting! I can't wait! Good times!

I am itching for the Honestly/Big Sky show...it's been years since I have seen them (not really but feels like it). It is just a week and a half away! YAY!

Five Star Iris is coming back to Orlando! Good times! Not until May, but it is something to look forward to! YAY!

Crazy things have been going on...crazy.

This guy at work was so smooth today. I have to commend him on it. He was like "So we should go out for Sushi" so I told him I don't eat sushi (or any kind of seafood at all) and then he said "Well...how about you show up at Season's 52, say...near the bar...around 8pm on Wednesday...bring some friends and we'll have a great time" umm...*giggle* Are you asking me out? Weirdo.

A Bonds and I made plans for another movie night this week! Happiness. And Traci and I are gonna practice batting for our first softball game coming up! Good times! Exercise will be good!

So excited for tomorrow...then I have a day off and then more work...Good times!

So yesterday was good times.

T came in about 8ish and we caught up on everything and headed out to Margaritaville. Met up with the girls and watched BSC. They rocked it out! I think last night was one of the best nights for them. Michael was wearing red...so cute! They were joking, laughing and having a great time!

One of the waiters of the restaurant went up and sang "Hey Ya" by Outkast with the boys and it was SO good. I filmed some of it with my digital camera cause I was *so* impressed! YAY!

They played "The Joker" AND "Let's Get It On" where all of the girls at our table screamed and hollered when they played the first riff of it. And the boys looked at us in surprise and giggled. Good times! AJ threw us off a bit by changing up things a bit with it...very awesome! Good times.

T and I were out on the patio for a good bit of the night while waiting on BSC's sets to start up again when I noticed that I *knew* the guy who was playin on the patio. I couldn't place him for the longest time, until I asked what his name was. The waitress said it was Fred. AND then it clicked. Cause how did such a hottie get the name of FRED. *giggle* Not that Fred is a bad name, but just thought he would have more of a musical kind of name. Anyways. The night I went with Nick to PI to see his cover band, Point Blank, we went in the VIP room and hung out with the members, and Fred was the guitarist (for that night anyways) and he worked at Universal in the BeetleJuice Show (Joey Fatone related, anyone?) Good times! He was a hottie!

T and I came home and crashed...I was exhausted. What a Valentine's Day! Got up around noon to say goodbye to T. She went to mass with Jonathan and peeps. I think she had a good time with them. I am glad for that! She was here for such a short time, it was hard to do much, but still good times!

Worked the help desk today and had lots of crazies. But Jeff Filko was the closing manager and he rocks! I enjoy him. At least I know I am gonna have a fun night (regardless of the situations) with him around...him and Kimmie and Nina. Crack me up! Professional but FUN! I love working with those kids!

Ann and I listened to fun music and talked about the crazies...always getting the crazies...Ryan hung out with us for a few today as well with Jeff Filko and he let me ride with the RED key on a Segway. FUN times. Actually he *convinced* me to. I was nervous, but since I have been certified, I figured I should know what it feels like just in case I have to use it or in case a guest asks about it and it was crazy. I turned and it scared me a bit, but in a fun way. Good times! Thanks Ryan!

Glen paged me today with a tour for on Tuesday. Happiness. One cancelled and one came in. I can't wait to just jump in there and get started...I just need my first tour to have happened and then I am good!

Got my schedule for next week and I am doing a VIP Tour, a Segway Tour, and then a Special Tour...all in a row. Cool beans! I can't wait...let's go.

So I am listening to this awesome new CD that Libby got me! YAY. Josh Kelley rocks...a lot like John Mayer, but I can spot some differences and I enjoy them. Thanks girl!

Today I woke up bright and early (but very foggy out!) to do the first EVER "Around the World at Epcot" Segway Experience! It was awesome. It went so much smoother than I had anticipated and it was great.

I was really nervous about the time management, but everything went so good! Only a couple of things that we should work on, but for the first tour...it ROCKED! Terry was my Innoventions (tag-team) Guide with me and he was great. I think we worked well as a team. Our guests were awesome as well! I enjoyed them all! They were all fun and outgoing. You could tell they were having a great time and that is so rewarding!

Good times!

After the tour, got with Chiyako and she trained me as a DRC coordinator. Got with Nina for a bit to decide when we were gonna chat about the tour she wants me to do. Lots of things going on and it's all so much fun and wonderful, but so exhausting at the same time. Whew!

I really want to go see Gavin Degraw next month...I am hoping that it will work out! *crosses fingers* We shall see!

My calenders are getting so full with all the tours and special things I have been doing...I am trying so hard to do everything and I am getting worn out. Whew! (sorry had to do it again)

T is coming in today and we are gonna go to Margaritaville with the rest of the girls and hang out tonight. Thankfully tomorrow is the first day in awhile that I haven't had to wake up at 6 in da AM. I am SO thankful for that! Good times!

Oh I am so tired...wish I could nap, but gots to party tonight.

Later.

Let�s play catch up. I have been so busy that I haven�t had a single moment to journal about my all the �good times� that have been happening.

Wednesday was my birthday and it was such a good day. My pager woke me up by vibrating for quite awhile that morning. Lots of pages from family and friends. Thanks guys�you rock!

Got up after sleeping in on my day off. Called Libby and had plans in no time to go to Epcot and then MGM with her. It was fun! We went around and saw people, got a birthday button (yea, I am a big dork) and hung out for a bit. Even went to dance revolution and tried that out in Innoventions West. It was good times.

Headed to MGM and rode coaster and tower. Good times except there were some stupid kids that rode tower behind us and took off their shirts so they wouldn�t print the pictures. Ugh�stupid kids. BUT on coaster Libby and I did the whole �rock-on� and stuck our tongues out and it was cute!

Good times!

Left MGM to make it home in time to see J-dawg cooking me �breakfast for dinner� in the form of chocolate chip pancakes and grilled ham. It was yummy. Libby, Jane, Amy J, and Leslie all came over to have dinner and �celebrate� with me. Amy J had a family function/bed purchasing event to go to so she couldn�t stay, but the rest went with Jonathan and I to set out for a bowling adventure.

Got to Kissimmee Lanes (which I love!) and it was league night. Who knew? So we called 411 to consider other options in the hopping Kissimmee area�.and there just happened to be a skating rink just around the corner, so we headed there next.

Got there and it was a bit shady. There was a picture of AJ from the Backstreet Boys on the glass door. Not a good sign for Carolyn. Really it was just an advertisement for a charity fundraiser, but it was just too strange. We all hadn�t skated since like fourth grade or before so it was quite unnerving trying to get up and stay upright to be honest, but once we got the hang of it, we were trying to be daredevils and doing tricks.
Thankfully no one got injured badly, but Jane did hurt her hand a bit when we were practicing turning, but she was a rock star and skated on.

Libby had bought me a cookie cake that said Happy Birthday Carolyn in yellow icing (my favorite color) and a big star in the middle (of course also yellow in color). They know me well. They sang happy birthday to me as loud as they could inside the rink (it felt like third grade all over again, it was great!). Good times! Got our pic taken by the �Happy Birthday� sign and we got kicked out of the rink at closing time, which was at 9pm. That was an early evening for us, so we went over other ideas for the evening�s activities.

Headed over to Celebration to meet up with Les and Juliet. Neither were at the apartment so we left them some cake and headed home to drop off some people and then head to The Big Bamboo. I had never been there before, but it�s so cool. A bunch of imaginers used to hang out there a long time ago and it�s actually kind of in a hidden area. We met up with Nick, Dwight, Adam, Celine Dion (and no it�s not the actual singer), Juliet, and Les.

Good times. I went over to the bar and some random dude found out it was my birthday and helped celebrate it with me by buying me a drink�yea good night. Those people were great fun!

Libby and Jane brought me home and I crashed just in time to wake up feeling pretty crappy the next day, but all was good for more Segway training. Fun stuff.

After a wonderful training day, I was exhausted. BUT I had plans to go to the Orlando MPass Mixdown with Ellen so I came home and got ready to go. Met up with Ellen and Crystal at The Station. It was a restaurant and bar with a VIP room and a concert area. Lots of different places in one to be exact. It was good times. Met a lot of Ellen�s friends, including Jason (a band photographer and more).

I was kinda playing �Fifth Year Crush�s promoter� that night cause Kevin sent me some singles to hand out to people. There was a good crowd. I was impressed also by the variety of different people and different styles of music being represented. It was cool. The DJ was spinning anything you brought to him. He played �Devastated� for me and the response seemed pretty good from what I noticed. I handed out all the demos and talked with a lot of folks towards the end.

Best part of the night was when I saw this guy walk in the VIP room and he looked so familiar. Back Story:

When Jonathan, Amy J and I went to downtown Winter Park to the Park Avenue CD shop we saw a bunch of local bands being displayed and this one dude sounded so familiar and I had it in my hand to purchase it, but I decided to be good and wait to purchase it at a later time. I came home and looked him up online and really wanted the CD even more. This guy was Jeff Coffey. So I went up to him last night and asked if that was who he was and told him that I was there helping promoting FYC. He got all excited saying, �Oh I played with them once. They are great guys. Tell Kevin and the guys I said hello.� Maybe that is where I had heard of him before. Funny stuff, but he was really cool and said he�d get me a CD. We shall see about that.

Ellen and Crystal were hilarious. My jaw hurt from laughing so much. They were so cute! I enjoyed meeting and hanging out with them. A lot of the people who were there were really open about chatting and switching demos. It was cool to be in that kind of an environment. I am definitely gonna do the next one again if I can!

After the mixdown, there was a band that was about to perform there called InTension. Normally, I am not the rap/metal kind of girl, but for that kind of a band and that kind of music, they rocked. They were really tight and I could understand a majority of what they were saying. In my opinion, they were a cross and mix between Linkin Park, Eminem, The Beastie Boys, and Metallica. Fun guys. One in particular made me smile. He was probably the scariest looking in the band, but seemed to also be the nicest. He was fun! The hot baby face boy (who could totally be in a boy band, minus all the pot he smoked), who also had the nice arms and won all of Crystal�s attention, was crazy and just made me laugh every time he opened his mouth (or didn�t) to scream or make funny faces. I enjoyed him as well.

Granted my ears were practically bleeding by the time I left, but I wanted to go downtown with the girls, but I had to be up so early this morning that I knew it was best for me not to go, especially since the night before had been really rough. It was good times though!

Today I did Segway training yet again, but it was the last day. Norm and John Eric have been great. I enjoyed it all! There was lots of down time in between guests so it got tiring, but all in all a great experience. Saw Wade for the first time in two days and he seemed happy to see me. He�s so funny! I enjoy him!

Tomorrow is the first ever Segway Experience and Terry and I are facilitating it and I can�t wait! I hope everything goes well for all of us! I am anticipating it to be so. Another early morning for me though because of that, but it will be worth it. After the tour, I am gonna be trained as DRC Coordinator (I know�..all this training for me) and then I am meeting with Nina to talk about a special tour that she wants me to do for her. Exciting!

I did get some bad news today though. My family that I was gonna have for my first VIP tour cancelled their trip so I have to wait until the 22nd for my first one. I was sad, but it happens, so I am moving on. It was probably meant to be.

So that is my novel on the past few days. Tomorrow, T is coming in to see me! YAY! We are gonna go hang out and do Margaritaville and it�s gonna be fun! So you may not hear from me for a few days again, but I will do my best to update as soon as possible!

Good times...good times!

Segway training is SO much fun! I am lovin it! It's been a lot of fun working with the Innoventions team and working out everything about the tour together. I adore those people! So much fun!

Monday was great just learning what the "experience" was like and today we got to actually practice teaching it to the guests. It was great. My guests were so cute! They were from Finland and were just adorable! I enjoyed them!

All the people from Innoventions have been great but John Eric and Wade are probably the funniest of them all. They are so enjoyable! I love Norm as well! Good people! Wade is so adorable...he picks on me. Reminds me of high school, when I was the student and the coaches that taught classes like social studies or English and were just fun to play with and crack jokes. Good times. *grin*

So I have off tomorrow, which rocks! Then, Thursday is a practice day, along with Friday so we can get the hang of the tours...then we go LIVE on Saturday and I get to do the FIRST ever Segway Experience: Around the World at Epcot. Good times! I am so stoked!

Yesterday, Glen had paged me with "Would you like to ride on my beautiful, my beautiful SEGWAY...up up and away...call me when you get the chance..I know you are training" Isn't he the CUTEST! I adore Glen. And YAY it was about another tour! Not only do I get to talk to Glen, but I also get a tour out of it. Happiness!

They were painting our training room all this week and they just finished the hand railings...you can only imagine what happened. I totally knew (like everyone else) that they were JUST painted...but of course I grabbed onto it and black paint got ALL over my hand...yea...it happened. BUT John Eric had it happen to him too so we were "twins". It happens.

After Sarah and I became certified Segway riders, we got to ride the Segways to lunch. Happiness. It was totally fun! Guests were asking us all kinds of questions and everyone just looked at us in awe. Good times!

Gonna finish up some laundry and stuff tonight and then play tomorrow! YAY! I hope tomorrow is gonna be a good day...I am thinking it shall.

Been doing a lot of working lately. Yesterday worked help desk and it was crazy as usual, but good times. Went to the movies last night with Anthony Bonds. We went and saw Win a date with Tad Hamilton. It was pretty cute, but not a favorite. Doubt I will see it again, but good times with A Bonds. We shared popcorn and STAR gummi bears! Good times were had.

Met up with lots of people at the movie theater. Saw Tracy, Leo, Jonathan and Jane. Hung out at Virgin for a bit then headed home to crash before waking up this morning to the sound of J-dawg ironing RIGHT in front of my door.

Lots of things have been going on. Too much to really say though. I rejoined the GR Stars softball team with Andy again. Gonna be awesome this year though! I can feel it!

Segway training is this week....exciting stuff. DRC Coordinator training is next week. AND John Dontrich asked me to train a very *special* cast member...and her name is NINA! YAY! Good times!

Been having some fun at work, been having some crazy times at work too, but my co-cast members rock it out and make work so much more bearable at times...we have two new managers who ROCK...Jeff Filko and Kimmie! Good times!

So...gonna hit the sack and wake up EARLY tomorrow for training...and go on my way like usual.

So the past couple of days have been fun. I had them off for the most part. Lots of errands to run and lots of cleaning to do, but I finished most of that stuff. Good times!

Went with Libby, Jane, T-Arnold, J-Janis and Amy J to the movies and met up with Tianna, Lindsey, Brian, Cristina, and some other MGM folk that I met for the first time there. It was good times. Watched Along Came Polly. It was cute, but I probably wouldn't race to purchase it when it comes out. Not the biggest fan, but it made me laugh.

What WAS very cool though was during the previews...the movie Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen was suppose to have Honestly's music in it, but Amy J hadn't noticed it before in the previous movie she had seen, but we totally heard it this time and we were so excited! *grin* We are silly, but it was good times hearing them in the background! YAY for them! Can't wait for Feb 27th!

Crashed when we got home and worked my DSA TBA shift today at Epcot Lobby. Good times! Saw two of my guests from my UFW Tour. They are adorable! So cute! I enjoyed them. Also got to help some guests with a questionaire and they took a pic of me. How cute are they?

Went to lunch with Alex, Kevin, Traci, Emily, and Brittney. They are fun! Big group at lunch today...it was good times!

Got news for my tour coming up. I am mucho excited. My first one! Gonna be fun I am sure! It's at MGM so I can't wait! Wish me luck! With that and Segway coming up, I certainly have my plate full, but I am excited for all this new stuff and it's good times for me!

Been listening to music all this evening and hanging out with the roomies. My roomies are funny, but they love this apartment FREEZING cause they are always hot...wish we had the same body temperature, but what can you do, I love them anyways.

Jocelyn: I am *mucho* excited about your visit for the Big Sky/Honestly show! Gonna be good times!

I'm beat...going to bed. Will update soon!

So yesterday was good times. I had my UFW Tour with Kimmie shadowing and six other guests. It was great! A really good tour and SO unique. Kimmie showed us a few fun things at Mission:Space and Test Track. The group became really friendly with each other and it made it so much fun!

Great tour! We got to do a few out of the ordinary things...and got to ride Journey into Imagination AND Test Track so it rocked! I think everyone really had fun so that was great! And Kimmie was so cute! She is so much fun. Working with her is gonna be great and I am glad she was added to our team!

After the tour, I came home satisfied at a tour done well and cleaned up my space (cause it was messy!) and then took a three hour nap. It was so nice to sleep!

Woke up and hung out with the roomies. We watched Return To Me and cried. It was fun.

We hung out the rest of the night. Was good times. Never would have been expected, but very fun times!

Today, I slept in like a mad-woman...till like one o'clock and it was SO nice. Today is my parent's 25th Anniversary! YAY! Happy Anniversary to them!

Hung out with J-dawg most of the day. We went shopping, got my haircut, currently dying it with blond highlights (good times as I sit here with a cap on my head), and listening to Mr. Jonny Lang. Good times!

Planning the rest of my evening to hang out with Libster, J-dawg, and Amy J. Maybe movie night again? I hope so...cause I have no money and just want to hang.

Catch ya on the flip side.

Well, it certainly has been a rainy night. Worked today closing the help desk. It's been awhile since I have done that so I had to get caught up by Anne and Traci. Good times. It was great to see everyone again. I know I had only been out of the department for a week and a half but it felt like a year to me.

Did a couple of van runs and slid back in my role pretty well. I had forgotten to mention a couple posts ago that when I had my meeting with Nina, she also needed me to be a DRC coordinator. How excited am I? Good times!

Jonathan and Amy J went shopping today and brought me back the BEST Disney approved shoes EVER! I am so excited. AND they are Aerosoles AND my size AND pretty! I am happy. YAY! They solved an ever-annoying problem for me. They made magic for me today. Thanks friends!

I love John Mayer. I am watching his DVD..nice to watch and listen to the soothing tunes while listening to the rain fall outside. Fits my mood.

Wow, it's already February. I can't believe it.

Tomorrow is Superbowl Sunday...and I am closing the help desk. Hmm, do I get paid holiday pay for that? I should, shouldn't I? But...no. *grin* Oh well..shall be good times I am sure.
