What a week. This week I have been submursed in moving and uhaul hell....but the great thing is we did it and it's done. I am cleaning up the old apartment and turning in the keys today. Yay! *grin* Happiness! I am fully moved into my new HOT apartment with just a bit of reorganzing left to accomplish. Nice!

This week has been hell though in trying to figure out the timing of the uhaul and moving with me working the entire time. I had a really bad week on top of that...mostly having to do with a tour that I had that was really depressing. Their expectations of me were something that I couldn't even reach...let alone exceed. It was really hard to convince myself that I am a good tour guide and it wasn't my fault of how everything turned out...and if it wasn't for Jerome (MK Fantasyland manager) I certainly would have gone of the deep end. He made some magic for me and I will not forget it. Thank you Jerome!

Past the bad tour, work at DAK was pretty good. Got to work the window and it rocked my socks off. I love it there. It's different everyday and other than being slow...it's perfect. It's home...but I do miss Epcot and my people there.

My brother and sis-in-law came in last night and visited my new place. They bought me new silverware and dishes-YAY! So happy! Finished moving in everything last night and got stuff organized....they left and Kevin and Lisa came back into town from the Rush concert and crashed here. Got to bed a bit on the late side and was up nice and early to take my family to Epcot.

Got to see Ryan O'Kelly and talk for a bit. I missed him. He's good people except when he tries to school me on getting more sleep *grin* Ya know I love ya O'Kelly! Keep reading and just remember that there is no sleeping in Florida. You will enjoy life more! *grin* Come hang out with me...West End Stage my friend...Saw the window crew...I missed you! Can't wait to see you all again on a daily basis.

Found my family and we went to Mission:Space and saw Millie (Tye's friend) and I introduced myself to her and she was so nice and friendly. I adore her!

Went on Journey to Imagination and then Honey I shrunk the audience. Good times....headed on out so they could do the Aqua Seas Tour and I went to meet back up with K and Lisa at my place while they were slowing waking up and ran some errands while they got ready for the evenings activities.

Day One:

Got lots of stuff done after that and then headed out to PI for FYC! Met up with Cali, Courtney and Amanda..shortly after ran into Lisa again and then Valerie came. Becca and Leslie came too. Yay! Then, Katrina and Gianina, Kristi and her friend, Nick, Julie, Richie and Jen came! Julie and her new boyfriend Dave came eventually. What a good surprise. Yay! Good times! Everyone asked about Amy J! We missed you! Hope that you heard "Billie Jean", I tried to do the dance, but it wasn't anything without you. Valerie tried to do it with me, but we were just bad...fun trying though. *grin*

Huge group at PI...the crowd rocked it out and were awesome. Met some cool guys that were in love with FYC (of course) and lots of family members were out last night. Melissa and crew and Shannon and crew. Good to see them all. They are the nicest people. All of them.

Got pretty "toe up" along with the rest of the crew....it was great times. Jen was so excited about FYC dedicating "Everlong" for her. She wouldn't stop talking about it. So very cool of them. That made me happy. Thanks boys.

Think I freaked my bro out a bit...had to come out sooner or later. *grin*

The show was awesome and things were great. Rocked it out! *grin* Cali invited us to a party at her place so we gladly abiliged. Nick got lost so I went to retrieve him under 417. "Okay passing you now...get behind me...now" *grin*

Get there and see Tony and Neo. I love Neo. That dog gave me some nice lovin. *grin* I miss my Honey dog...*grin* Played games and had a blast loosing to a lot of them. Got even more "toe up" on Cali's "good" tequila. Good times.

Basically we are all in a huge house and we are all hovered in one little area all on top of each other in some way shape or form. Funny stuff. "Lean on me" and somehow I ended up licking things...strange night. *grin* Maybe I shouldn't share everything on this blog...*giggle*

Lots of quotes last night...some I cannot even remember...some I can. *grin* I am the worst at quoting people after the fact though so I can't do it at the moment, but "oh yeah" they will come out people, they will come out. *grin*

Kevin came over and hung out with us. Needed to replay the licking. *grin* Chatted for a bit then I, being "toe up", needed some rest. Ha!

I remember sitting on the couch and then suddenly no other recollection of what happened later. Woke up wondering why I couldn't see. Apparently Kevin took care of me and took off my glasses and covered me with a blanket. My cellphone was lost in the couch after falling out of my pocket (it was retrieved, no worries) and had a huge headache. Nice. Had a coughing fit and woke everyone up (sorry bout that). Everyone was passed out somewhere on the floor or the couches. Neo woke me up with kisses several times...good times. *grin*

We decided to go wake up Amanda so we all attacked...her and Courtney had to get going so Courtney could come back. Crazy girls...gotta love it. Got ready to head out and Nick and I went to get breakfast. Came to my old apartment to remove the last of the crap and give it to the neighbors. Then, traveled back to my new place and have been resting and hanging out watching movies. Good times.

Called Richie and Jen and they aren't feeling too hot so we are gonna hold out on the parks for a bit and we are just gonna figure something out later. Got to clean and get rid of the old apartment today and then onto Day Two of FYC. Good times...gonna be a great week.

This week I am working on top of having a doctors appointment and with Jordan coming in, it's gonna be crazy, but great! Can't wait until Jordan is here and then it will be complete!

Will talk soon I am sure so I don't forget everything. Of course I have already forgotten tons that happened JUST last night. Need help people...remind me *grin*

What a couple of days. Got ready to head out for LaGrange, GA and got everything together on Thursday night. Went to bed at a fairly decent hour to get a start on sleep that I knew I would be deprived of this entire week. Got up at the break of dawn on Friday to start my road trip to the small town of LaGrange. It wasn't a bad drive at all. Found a random cd mix that I made forever ago and fell in love with it all over again. Good music makes me happy.

Got to LaGrange and met up with Jess shortly after. It was *so* hot. We went to the LaGrange "small" Mall. It was so tiny. Found a hat in there that said "Mullets get Girls" Ha! So wrong tiny town...so wrong.

We decided to be girls this weekend and got our nails and toenails done. It was our first time getting pedicures and it was one of the best experiences I must say. I never thought getting a pedicure would be that relaxing and worth every penny. I thought they were just fairly simple in comparison with getting your nails done, but no. It's so much more. You get to lay back in a lazy boy chair that vibrates and massages your back and neck while your feet soak in this warm bath. The girl even massaged my legs and feet...and they make your feet so much more smoother, but in the process they tickled my feet so bad that I could hardly stand it. I just keft sqealing the entire time. I recommend pedicures to anyone and everyone...strange I know...but it's great!

Got changed and headed to the rehearsal. Got to meet all the "sorority sisters" who were the other bridesmaids with us. Got see to Laura, which was awesome because if it weren't for her and Jessica, I would have gone insane with all the "girl talk". I am not a girl in so many ways. I would much rather do all sorts of other "guy" things then do or talk about so many things we did these past two days, but I adore Melissa and I know she is a girly girl and needed to do all those things...so for her and her wedding, I played dress up. *grin*

After the rehearsal, we headed to the dinner which was in this quaint little restaurant made up to be exactly like a lived in house. It was cute and very "homey". Good food...we got really full. Sat at the "girl scout" table. Ha! Good times.

Matt (Melissa's *now* husband) came over to our table and asked Laura's dad if he wanted to go to the "pub with the boys"...and Jessica and I were so holding our tongues to beg to go with them. Instead, Jessica and I followed "the girls" back to Cheri's apartment where they talked about sorority things and where we had a "sleep over". Poor Jessica..I thought she was gonna bust. *grin* I wanted to so break out with "this one time at girl scout camp" *grin* Almost did a couple of times, but instead I just started to doze off in my own thoughts.

Went to sleep freezing and woke up to the sound of giggling at 8am. Had waffles and headed to the hotel to do get ready. Had some alone with with Melissa and Jessica. We needed that. Felt like old times again. So good to be able to have that time with her before her wedding. Melissa cracks me up! *grin*

I needed to wear my heels all day so that I could practice walking in them so I wouldn't fall down the aisle so I wore them with my regular outfit for the day, which was my short skirt (that got me out of a speeding ticket one day) and a button down shirt that is very flexible and moving...and I looked like a prostitute to *some* people...so I posed for pics and practiced doing a "walk of shame"...good times.

Ate lunch and then headed over to Victoria Belle, which was in another small town...of Hogansville (get my OUT of small towns...I am a city girl *grin*) and it was beautiful. I really loved this place. So nice! We got our hair done...mine looked SO pretty, but I don't typically like it up...it was hot! I bought some star twisties and they looked so cute!

Ate chocolate..cause I needed it. I stripped for Laura so that she could wear my shirt to the store and I sat practically completely undressed while getting my hair finished. Good times...I was such a girl. SO proud of myself.

Get our dresses on and I must say...we did look pretty darn hot. And speaking of being hot...we were dying of heat exhaustion...GA sucks in the summer. We were dripping while getting our photos done outside..and this was BEFORE the wedding and dancing...crazy.

Waited and waited for the limo to arrive...and it finally did. It started raining. How ironic....*grin* Didn't dampen any spirits though. Got some booty music up in that joint and we squished in the limo. They had champagne and a toast, but Carolyn was on meds so could not participate..sucks being sick. Danced and giggled the entire way to the chapel and then when we drive up right next to it, Melissa then decides to have a breakdown. "I can't breathe" Oh dear lord. We all got out and left it up to Laura (the maid of honor) to pull her together and we headed in the chapel to prepare for our part.

Started getting in line to walk down the aisle. Saw Mr. Brinker and asked him how he was. His response was priceless. "I'm a basketcase" I told him "So is your daughter" with a grin...aww. I love her dad. I just remember thinking "please don't fall, please don't fall" while walking down the aisle and how I hated all the eyes being on me...ugh I hated that. Do I smile, am I walking too fast, who do I look at, please don't fall, am I there yet? Ugh...I finally make it up there and then the ceremony went by so fast. Melissa totally held her own and got through it. Her dad was about to make me loose it...I couldn't even watch him. Finally they were pronounced Mr. and Mrs. and then I got to lean on my groomsman on the way back down the aisle so no worries on falling....saw the Wilbanks party and Deanna with Yvonne and felt better.

Done. Party time.

Not quite...had to be "announced" at the reception...that was weird. My groomsman (who was married mind you with three children) was like "Are they gonna announce us as Mr. and Mrs. too?" and I was like "God, I hope not.." Strange. So we all were announced and walked onto the dance floor and watched the "first dance" all the way through the "father/daughter dance" etc...just stood there and watched...then the buffet was offered. We were starving and almost ran to the food.

Went upstairs with Jess and on the way down the coordinator was telling us to try and not clank our heels on the hardwood floor so loudly (really hard to avoid) and Jessica was trying and slipped...in front of the entire buffet line....someone had to fall..poor Jessica...I was behind her just laughin away (cause that is what best friends do) and that sealed the deal in us being the most hated bridesmaids by the coordinator. It was great!

Watched most of the events happen, but then I was getting ansy to get on the road back home since it started raining harder and I had to work today. I left GA and headed back to Florida with a happy hope for Melissa and Matt on a successful wedding day and a promising new life together. Had fun with Jessica and good to see the Girl Scout crew and families....good times.

But I was done with being a girl. I couldn't have taken much more. The second I got in my car...the bobbie pins were out...all 4,000 of them. Geez..that took the entire car ride to get them all out. My hair was a nice blob by the time I got home...yea the walk into my apartment was a shameful one...especially in my outfit as well. *grin*

It was a good, short car ride...felt like forever, but I made good time...got home and crashed...woke up to the sound of Tye's radio and cursed the day. Woke up a bit later and got ready for work. Had an okay day. I liked chatting with Todd. He's a cool guy..cracks me up and makes me want to be better at what I do...I enjoy his enthuasium and good attitude toward his job...he's a good guy.

Saw Joey Boone..came to visit me at work...he leaves soon. Saddness. I promised him we would go to Hooters soon. *grin*

So happy to get home and rest for a bit. Ordered a pizza and began stressing about everything...ready to sleep now after venting on here and having a very relaxing IM conversation...thanks...now it's definitely time for bed. *giggle*

Going to get up early tomorrow and sign my lease...for real. Then going to start moving in....yay! I can't wait to be done with this...I cannot wait to be a resident of Alta! Happiness!

Till later...

It's been a few days. I started not feeling too well around Saturday or so...to where I could not get through the day on Sunday or Monday at DAK GR. I had to ER both days and felt like crap about it, but I literally just came home and slept the entire day away. Tuesday came and I had to suck it all up and call in because I wasn't hardly even making it out of bed and it took all I had to go to the doctor. I had never felt a "cold" like this one before and it sucked!

Went to the doctor and waited....turns out I probably had something along the lines of a horrible sinus infection...so I got meds and feel much better now, even though not fully recovered as of yet.

I am sure that my insurance is helping me in some form or fashion, but for what I received at the doctor and for picking up my meds that were prescribed for me, I am not feeling the insurance policy at the moment...cause I still had to pay more than what I had bargined for. Ugh. Okay...off my insurance rant, I should be happy that I have meds at all....movin on...

Started feeling a bit better after taking the meds on Tuesday, but fell right to sleep the second I got home and the meds in me. Amazingly enough, non drowsy formula....but it knocked me out to say the least. Felt tons better when I woke up...good times. Decided that Wednesday I was gonna try to make it to work. Got some not so good news that made me worry about a friend...Plus, I felt really exhausted and hot the entire day and kept having to make trips to the bathroom to "cool down" with a damp towel, but got through the work day and felt pretty good by the end.

Good enough to attend the much anticipated Switchfoot show that I was hoping I wasn't gonna have to miss due to illness. I would have been devastated...but all worked out for the best.

Met up with Geno and his girlfriend Janet outside Hard Rock and chatted with the security guy while I waited on Jason, Courtney and her friend to arrive. Ran into a lot of the FYC/Curve crew at the show amazingly enough...it's crazy that we all enjoy the same music. *giggle*

MTV was taping so there were "flying" cameras everywhere and if you didn't watch closely, you're head could have been taken off with one of them. Seriously.

Lost Prophets opened and I really liked a lot of their stuff. The keyboardist reminded me of a wacked out version of the "give me TIME to realize my crime" singer in The Wedding Singer. Funny stuff. One of the guitar players had on a scarf...and that's all I am gonna say about that. *grin*

Good times...

Switchfoot came on and rocked my world. So good! I love them live and this was the second time I got to see it...even better than the first! Not too happy with the soundguy trying to look exactly like the lead singer..what's up with that? Loved everything about their set...loved the background vocals, loved the mixes, loved the order, loved the new song about stars *grin*, loved the acoustic "24", loved the bass...I love them.

Their set was a lot like the DVD version that I have, but I kinda liked it for that reason too...kept it familiar. I like that. "That feels about right" Rock on!

Headed out...good to see everyone.

"Did I not get the memo?" Priceless..my bad...

Crazy times...and good FUN! Good times...good times.

It's amazing how you thought something about someone...hoping that at that time they were feeling what you were hoping they were feeling...and to never know it...until much later. You find out that what they were feeling was really what you wanted them to feel at the time and it seems so surreal, but it doesn't really affect anything because it was so long ago. It's so strange...but a good strange. It's nice to know...and I appreciate it.

It's amazing how much some people can figure me out so easily...and not be afraid to say it...kinda scary sometimes...

"Tie me to the bedpost..." Don't know why that song popped into my head..but it just did. Hmm.

Worked today and came home to some pretty good news. I have been really stressed about the money situation lately and it seems like everything might be working out pretty well. I am very close to selling some unneeded furniture, Jordan is all set to come down sooner than planned *YAY*, I got my sick pay approved for this week, the rent is lower than I thought for the first month (HAPPINESS) and this weekend is hopefully not gonna cost the arm and a leg I was expecting...so let's hope everything goes smooth from here on out.

Talked to K today...made me feel better. *sigh* I was worried my friend.

Got ready for my weekend trip to LaGrange, GA to be in my friend's wedding. Was kinda put back because I had to spend a lot of extra dough on getting my dress altered, but happy with the end product so that helps. Will be driving up tomorrow morning and spending the next couple of days with wedding activities. Can't wait to see and hang out with Jessica! YAY! We are gonna party it up! Can't wait to see Melissa as well...I am sure this is gonna be one of the most memorable days of her life and I am happy for her and happy I get to share it with her.

The more I go to weddings though, the more I know what I like and don't like. I really loved Aimee and Ryan's set up...IF I ever do get married, I want it to be like theirs but less formal even....a total party...good times. Either way I would probably just "run away" *grin*

After I get back this weekend, Tye and I will start moving into Alta! Happiness! I cannot wait! *grin* Can't wait to see Jordan and start a new experience with a new place! It's gonna rock! Then FYC comes back into town and we rock again...no sleepin in Florida...ever...it's true.

"No stoppin, no stoppin, no stoppin...ain't no stoppin us now...we're on the move..."

So I had my day off on Thursday and slept in quite a bit. It was nice...ran some errands and then got ready for a night out with the members of the Arkansas government. *grin* Too fun!

Tye and I went up to The Peabody to meet up with the First Lady and everyone. Got to meet Tom Wolber of Disney-MGM Studios. What a cool guy! Very nice and laidback. I enjoyed him!

Got to meet the band..."Capitol Offense" which included the Governor himself (who was the nicest guy) and his closest staff and friends. They were awesome! They played covers all night and everyone knows and loves. Tye and I rocked out...even got him to dance a bit! It was tons of fun. There were slightly older women really getting into it. During "rollin...rollin...rollin on the river" song they were on the floor literally rolling across it. Cracked us up! It was great!

Got to meet and hang out with one of the singers of the band, Aaron, who was adorable. He was too much fun and very talented as well. He made us feel so welcome and right at home, just like everyone else there. I think it really made Tye feel like he was back in Arkansas. He kept thanking me for inviting him the entire time. I am glad he enjoyed himself so much!

After the band played we were ready to head back home since I had to work so early in the morning, but the band had other plans for us. They wanted to go out so they convinced us that taking them out "on a night on the town" would benefit us more, we soon agreed and took them to PI.

I think they had a pretty good time...I know we did. It was fun to show them around and see them enjoy themselves in a different environment. Good times. I enjoyed those kids! Great sports about everything too!

Came home and crashed...went to work the next day a bit on the tired side, but still totally enjoyed my day. It was a DSA enhancement day and it was really fun. "JimKorkis" rocks my socks off with his incredible wealth of knowledge. He's amazing!

Bob Pattee cracked me up the entire day! If he wasn't there, I probably would have started to doze off in a couple of locations, but with him there, there was no sleeping...so funny! Thank you for that Bob Pattee....cracked me up!

Got home and took a nap cause I was about to fall over from exhaustion. Got Amy J up and then we headed over to Nick's for pool, pizza and good times. Saw his new house that he has been helping his dad build. SO nice! What a talented guy. Dan and Dwight were there and already way ahead of us...it was funny. Played some pool, ate some pizza, laughed a lot...listened to some good tunes...brought me way back to my past..."with one headlight" craziness.

Nick's dog's name is Honey just like my dog...and she's so sweet too. I fell in love with her! I need to visit Nick more often even if only to visit his doggy, even if he does live in boo-fu.

Got home at a decent time and crashed just to wake up for work again. Had a great day at DAK. I love it there! Saw John Dontrich while driving home...I miss that kid.

Got home just in time to meet up with K. Laying on his car getting some sun..goof. Got ready and headed out to see the amazing drum corp I had been hearing so much about.

I can't really even describe it. I had watched videos that K showed me, heard about it mulitple times from him, etc. but to actually experience it live...it's like no other. Very cool and I am very happy that I went. I have a deeper appreciation for all that they do and for what K did when he was in it. It was just amazing. Amazing...and the Cavaliers kicked butt...we totally called it! They were awesome!

Totally loved the Blue Coats "BLUUUUUU" for doing Queen...and Cavalier's for rocking it out with "007". They were awesome!

Came home and I was starting to not feel so well...and K was trying to be a bad influence on me. I am stubborn boy...watch it. *grin*

Had a crazy night...K stayed up the entire time, while I tried to catch some z's even though I was coughing the entire night.

Woke up and got ready for work this morning feeling like crap ran over. Got a minor head cold that I am trying to currently knock out with some major Day/NightQuil. I can't get sick...not a good time at all. Too much to do. They let me ER at work today cause I kept coughing and feeling so bad...plus I didn't want to get anyone else sick. I so appreciated that. Came home and crashed for a few hours. Felt better when I woke up. Got lunch and said goodbye to K. Too short of a visit...*grin*

Went and picked up my Switchfoot tickets! YAY! I cannot wait until Wednesday! Gonna be great times! Anyone who wants to go, let me know! We will be rockin it out!

Gonna take a mighty long nap here in a moment and try my best to sleep off this horrible cold and be all ready for this coming crazy week!

Still stressing about the move and everything, but things will be okay....I can just feel it.

Went to work at DAK on Tuesday and got kidnapped by Patrick King and Jonathan for a DSA focus group. It was really good and very productive. I enjoyed all the representatives from DSA that were there and I think we gave good "feedback" so hopefully something will come of it. Good times.

Went back to work and had a great day at the Animal Kingdom. I love that park...I am not sure I want to leave. I do miss Epcot and my peeps, but it's just so different and I think I needed the change. It is helping me appreciate everything that I have again...and that's a good thing.

I am feeling quite overloaded at the moment. I am so behind on a lot of projects and I am trying to get done more than I can handle at the moment. Just too much...wish I could hide away for a bit..

I was suppose to have Wednesday off, but Ken asked me to do a tour and I just can't say no to him, plus I really wanted to anyways, so I did. It was the first lady of Arkansas and her friend. They were extrememly nice and fun so we had a good day! Talked about bands and whatnot cause apparently the Governor is in one. Loved it when she said "I'm not in the band though, I'm just a groupie" So cute! Good times!

After doing some errands and getting my dress fitted to be altered (ugh!) at Carolyn Allen's Bridal Shop, I went and met the girls...and Mike *grin* at Chili's where the "hot waiter" Graham was totally fun! (even though he wasn't our waiter! *giggle*) Graham is in a band...called QuickSand. Haven't even heard the band yet and I can tell they are gonna be screamers. Very cool and random...

Good times at Chilis. Love the fact that it is two for one and everyone gets that! *grin* Definitely "Worth the wait" and that's not the first time I've heard that. "I'm gonna choke on my chicken" Not the first time I've heard that! *giggle* Mike cracked me up the entire night...he's a funny guy.

After Chili's, some of us went to Margartiaville. Geez, it's been ages...since Easter. We are bad BSC fans. So weird just walking up to it again...but great! As soon as we got there, AJ was right next to me sitting and chatting up a storm. Funny kid. Good to see him again and NO he's not Jamacian! Ha!

After their set (where they played new Maroon Five..yay!) Dave came down and chatted with us. He said Michael is gonna be playing in Off Kilter at Epcot. How excited am I about that? I get to see him in a kilt! NICE! *grin* So glad that they cared that we were there...sometimes they take us for granted, but it seemed they really missed seeing us in the crowd. Dave totally played with us on stage the entire night. He's such a funny kid. Amy J and I were totally wanting to sing a certain part a bit early in the song "Yes...we DO!" and he caught us on it and then schooled us of when that time was suppose to be. That was funny...oh and he caught us kissing our "guns" too...Nice face for that one! Oops.

Good times at Margaritaville...but when Dave caught me yawning...we knew it was time to go..we are getting old. *frown* That or FYC just wore us out so bad last week we still have yet to recover. Yep...the latter.

Crashed when I got home last night...and slept in a bit too much today cause I have a headache from hell. Not cool. I am gonna try to take it easy today cause I really haven't had a relaxing day off in awhile. I have so much to do though that it is stressing me out just thinking about it all. Ugh!

Sometimes I wish that I had the luxury of not working and still having money to live, but then again I do kinda like the craziness at times...just wish it wasn't all the time.

I am very excited though cause this weekend and coming week is gonna rock! Gonna go check out the drum core thing and then Switchfoot is coming on Wednesday and how excited am I about that? Umm..VERY! I cannot wait to see them live AGAIN! *grin*

I am going to Melissa's wedding next weekend and then I start moving into Alta...stress stress stress...kill me now...I am stressing too much! How am I gonna do all this? No time, no money....no anything...ahhh!

Honestly got a new site! It is awesome! Yellow and stars EVERYWHERE! Two of my favorites! I love the addition of Joe's belt to the mix! Makes me happy...I miss them!

FYC got a new journal and a new forum...rock on kids...I like...I like!

And Kevin FINALLY wrote in his journal...you go kid...beat these long posts!

"Welcome Friends" to the longest post in history. Get prepared. Welcome to the as-detailed-as-I-can-get-post even though all my days seem to be running together due to lack of sleep. Bare with me.

Okay how do I begin...let's see. What did I do on Wednesday? Oh yea...I worked my last day for awhile at Epcot...at the help desk. Wasn't the best day actually so I was really anticipating getting through it and getting on to PI to see FYC rock it out at the Rock and Roll Beach Club.

Day One:

O'Kelly rocked it out and was so nice to me...thanks kid...and PI came sooner than later and I headed out to see my friends. So good to see them again! Awesome time with FYC as usual. Jason thought he was slick and funny...you are a funny kid my friend. Cracked me up cause I was *not* expecting that. Was your throat scratchy or something? *grin*

Got to see the usual crew at the beach club...love the bar staff. "You still at Epcot Guest Relations? Good to see you back" Since I *only* go there to see my bands. Aww they are too good...at least *they* don't want to kick me out of the beach club...like some certain security people...speaking of..Whistle LADY (ha!), she wasn't there that night...that was a major HIGHLIGHT for all of us. I even thanked the security guard who was there that night for being so much more polite and human when asking us to leave the club.

Guy was funny. He just looked at me and smiled...with a little laugh..."what?" and he said "You are just funny....it's just funny to watch you in the crowd. You still get into the songs that you've heard a thousand times...you still rock out" Umm yea OF COURSE GUY! Cause I love you guys and you rock. Do you *know* how good you guys are? It just baffles me that you don't realize it.

K brought me a new installment. *grin* Good times! Always fun with that kid. YAY! Got home and hung out for a bit. Watched some movies....*grin* And crashed pretty darn late if I remember correctly, but all good cause no work for me the next day! Yay!

Day Two:

Woke up at a leisurely pace. Kevin got a lunch invitation at Melissa's so I went and got some errands done. Went to publix to pick up some tolietries cause *someone* was out. Then, headed to Chili's for some food, but geez that chicken got spicer...I couldn't even finish it, but it was good times all the same. It started pouring outside even though the sun was still shining incredibly bright. It was pretty watching it fall like that, but not cool cause we had to get going for PI and my umbrella was convienently in the car. Nice. Got ready back home for the night and headed out to Bennigans for Carlos, Ogen and Leo's goodbye party.

So SAD! I didn't want them to leave at all....saw everyone there...Bob Pattee and I chatted a bit more, which was funny. I love that kid. He cracked me up. Got to see a bunch of Guest Relations people that I hadn't seen in awhile so that was awesome! Talked to a lot of them and tried to convience them to come to PI afterwards...got a lot of maybes. That works for me.

Headed to PI and found the crew. Hadn't seen Cali and Courtney in awhile so it was good to see them! GOOD FUN...GOOD TIMES....OH YEAH! Thursday rocked it out. A lot of work people came and I was really impressed and happy about that. At least fifteen showed up at some point or another, I am so glad that they actually cared enough to come. I know it's so hard to make it out and I know they don't know the band all that well, but when they show effort like that...it just makes me really happy to see them support me like that. You guys rock and you know who you are!

I also got to see Kevin's family that night. I missed them! Robin is the cutest woman in the world! I love her. I finally got to meet Kevin's famous aunt *grin* Heard wonderful things about her...so good to finally meet her. Got to see Curtis again who is the coolest guy ever! And of course Dylan and Connor whom I am forever in love with. Their hair has grown out to be Beatle style and they are seriously the cutest boys. They started a band called MPH (Miles Per Hour) so look out for them, cause they are gonna rock...I would put money on it. So good to see them! Jason even brought them up on stage to introduce them...too cute...rock on my friends!

"No Sesame Street or Bert and Ernie..."

We hung out for a bit and watched this drum core dvd that Kevin bought. It was pretty awesome. I wasn't in the best of spirits...think the sleepness got to me finally so I was ready to crash....we did and woke up leisurely the next day again. Yay...love days off.

Day Three:

Got ready and decided we would hang out a bit so we went and got food at Dennys. SO funny! Our waitress rocked my socks off. Her name was Carmen and she was FULL of life and so enjoyable...but crazy too. She would just say whatever and we didn't know what was about to come out of her mouth, but she was too cool.

So we talk to Carmen about the band, PI, where we live, etc. and we get our food and she comes over and out of NOWHERE says "So when are you two moving in together?" I swear I almost choked on my food. Kevin looked up at me from his food and we both just were in shock. I was like "um we are not together" and she goes "why not, she's cute and you seem like a cool guy" and at this point I am just about to die laughing and Kevin is like "she's one of my good friends and that's it" It was the funniest and most random thing ever. She just kinda walked away unsatisfied with our reasonings and we were left in amazement. Crazy.

Fish called and invited us to see Anchorman with him so we decide that would be a good time and head over to Downtown Disney and look around for a bit before marking our spot in the theater. Meet up with Fish who is sporting a shirt with a very large fish on it, go figure. Funny movie! The quotes in that movie will keep me laughing until the break of dawn (literally thanks to Amy J and her amazing memory)! "I want to be ON you!"

So funny!

Get done with the movie and head back home to rest so we jump in our bathing suits and go to the pool. K fell asleep and snored the entire time...tired boy. I laid out and swam. So calming and beautiful looking up at the palm trees that I love oh so much! I love Florida...nice! K woke up and we decided lobsters were not on OUR menu for the night so heading in would be an excellent idea.

Got ready for another PI night and I drove him over to soundcheck. While he was doing that, I went over to check out the WES. I found a pretty big crowd and the 80s All Stars, who BTW rock MY WORLD. I immediately fell in love with them. They are all dressed up from a influential rock star of the 80s.

Devo immediately became my favorite because he called me out out of the crowd. I was just simply walking up towards the stage at the exact time they were trying to get the entire crowd to come closer to them. He says "HEY...girl in red shirt, don't be timid, come on up" So I just con't walking towards them like I was doing anyways not really thinking he was talking about me (anyone behind me could have been wearing red as well, but I wasn't about to turn around to see). But then he says, "that's it American girl, come closer!" and I was like great...cause yea my shirt clearly read "American Girl" on it. So I smiled and he liked it that I was by myself and he chose me to pick on so he starts at me some more.

"American Girl, I need your help...give me a thumbs up sign if you will help me out" So I do...and he goes "YAY!" and the guitar player and singer and laughin it up and lovin it that he randomly picked me out of the crowd. So...he says "Devo says put your hand up American Girl" So I do..then he tells me to put it down, then the entire crowd to do it and so on. Then he and the singer dedicate the next song to me "This song is for the American Girl! Thank you for your help!" and I gave them the rock on sign and they started playing that song that goes "my best friend's girlfriend" that Fish always teaches us the clap to...so thankfully I knew the beat and could participate with the clapping.

While being publically called out by the band, I met this girl Mary who was right next to me and also by herself so I invited her to see FYC at the Beach Club later and she said that would be cool. I got a call from Kevin that he was ready for dinner so I had to leave in the middle of the song. Felt bad, but it was good times.

We ate at the famous McDonalds pretty quickly, then I met Mary to get her a discount on her ticket and then headed in for the show. Met up with everyone else. Friday was probably one of the best nights ever. So much fun! So crazy and tons of people rocking out! Met some hot Australian boys that night...and some crazy drunk boys that were all over me for some reason, but I enjoyed them. Ryan sure liked to dance with me...and clearly wanted more. If I had Amy J or Leslie tell me one more time to "JUST MAKE OUT WITH HIM" one more time I was gonna scream. Yea...he was cute, but cigerette breath and completely drunkiness does not attract me, but his crew was quite entertaining to watch as well. Phil and Eric were so gone...and Kyle (his brother) was probably the coolest of them all.

By the end of the night Ryan was inviting me to Grosnevor and Kyle was telling me that I was the coolest chick ever. Hmm...brothers fighting over me...this could be nice. Too bad they probably didn't remember anything in the morning. Ha!

Cowboy Josh was in the crowd all the three nights and he was totally awesome! I really enjoyed him. Valerie had made it a goal to get his hat by the end of the night and before she had met him, I spotted him across the way and was like nodding to Valerie "there he is" and the next thing I know, he is right next to me and Courtney is like "Carolyn! Carolyn!" and when I look at her she points to the other side of me and I was like "hey" and there was cowboy. Funny and random. He was like "when is the next set?" So we chatted about that for a minute and I was just like "where did he come from?" Unexpected.

Fun and crazy night. Guy was a rockstar. Ever since day two he had gotten this rockin star guitar strap and with his sparkly guitar...it makes him look like the coolest rockstar ever! Nice...and we believe it changes his stage persona a tad...he even got on his knees again on the stage (which I had only seen him do that once before) and rocked it out. So fun! Love Guy!

Valerie surprised us for this show and drove down early and she was so cute! So crazy and dances so fast! I love that girl! Amy J and I rocked out and she tried to teach me her dance routine to Billie Jean, but again..I am not a good dancer and certainly not good at learning anything that requires coordination, but I was ready to try...so it was fun! I think Jason and Fish thought it was pretty entertaining just watching us dance. It was funny stuff. Jason even started dancing on me at one point after a set...that was a first...and probably an only...so it must be recorded in the journal! *grin*

Funny how whistle lady is always there to kick you out right at 1:45am but she is not there in time for a fight breaking out in the middle of PI. So I went to seek her out and when she finally came around I said to her face "whistle lady!" and she goes "where are they?" and I pointed them out and was like "crap...I just called that to her face!" Ha! Nice....Security is worthless..

So by day three, I had to work in the morning, so no hangin for me...Kevin and I get ready to head back to the apartment when we decide that Wendy's is the choice for his 3AM dinner and we see Guy and Jason directly in front of us in the drive thru (of course!) and Kevin goes and scares the crap out of them. I see Guy through the rearview mirror and he smiles as I scream out the window "who's that hot guy" *grin* They crack me up. We head out and come back to the apartment when Kevin gets summoned back and I crash.

Day Four:

Had to get up after just a few hours of sleep for an awesome tour day that was really fun! Great mothers, kids annoyed me a bit, but it was a good day of MK fun. I got there early and hung out at the window with the oh-so-magical Bob Pattee who kept making me LAUGH...and so early in the morning...it was exactly what I needed. Thank you! Ken made me laugh too...funny kids. Boyband Bob, John Zahars and David Keplan all were keeping me smiling...then the day began in the craziness of the MK. But everything went really well and the guests loved everything and wanted me again, but I had other training to do, but Kevin Smith took the tour, thankfully and all was good.

Got home to boys all over my room. I crashed right in the middle of them, but for some reason there is no sleeping in Florida and I got hit with pillows cause I am apparently "stubborn". Oh bite it.

Went to sleep for maybe an hour at the most and decided it was worthless cause it was a second or third or fourth wind and I was so dehyrated I just wanted to drink water and get something to eat. So K decides he wants Kobe and I was up for it so we got ready and made plans with his friend Veronica and her friend "Dana" to meet us there.

Lots of background information about "Dana" and Veronica. There had been lots of planning and talking about maybe hanging out and getting together or whatever and how cute Dana was and whatever....we are at Kobe waiting on them to get there and I am sitting down in a corner when K is pacing the floor looking outside anticipating their arrival and two little Japanese girls at the podium right near by. All of a sudden I hear a lot of yelling in cussing formation and Kevin runs out the door. The Japanese girls are in shock and I am wondering "What the hell is so bad that he just did that?" and get up to see him hugging Donovan!

Awesome! That was the funniest thing ever! I came out and Donovan was like "CAROLYN!" and gave me a hug...so FUNNY! I was just as shocked but Kevin could not stop smiling and Donovan was just laughing so evily...I met Veronica and what a cool chick. She cracked me up the entire night! We were the black sheep of our table. They hated us! It was like the chef was just cooking for us cause we were the *only* ones talking or participating or clapping or anything...so funny. Good times!

Had an awesome meal and looked down at my watch. "Crap Kevin it's 7:45" He had to be at soundcheck at 8...oops. So we were a bit late. But we made it there a good bit before 9 so at least we were safe on that end and my breath seriously stunk the ENTIRE night from Kobe. Ugh. Amy J even compared me to smelly cat and that wasn't even funny. Grr...but it was bad. No gum or drink could cure it. Bad stuff.

Great night yet again...last night and it rocked. Great crowd...getting into it. Great friends, good crew...great band! Donovan cracked me up. He started to dance and it was awesome! He jumped quite a bit with me and we had a good time. I love it when he says my name. Just like "tons of fun" he says it with an accent and kinda draws it out to where it just sounds so fun! I love it. Veronica freaking cracked me up. So blunt and fun. I wonder what she's like sober though.

So Amy J con'ts to try and get me to look down her shirt and for some reason I fall for it EVERYtime. What is up with that? So at some point I just place my face in her chest and she holds me there. I think Fish liked that. "I am *so* happy. I finally have a place to put my hand" *giggle*

It was the last night so we all kinda hung around for a bit to see what was going on and say our goodbyes or whatever. It cracks me up cause Nick is so hooked now. He came to three out of four shows and I love him for it. He even posted on the messageboard...so proud! Rock on my friend!

Amy J and I were ready to hang, but it seemed like everyone had their own hotel to go to so we decided my apartment would be key. Laughed my rump off the entire night, probably due to lack of sleep, lack of mind, lack of a lot of things...but good times needless to say. I think Jason thought we were loosing our minds and apparently needed much help, but whatcha gonna do. "No more quoting movies" But when Amy J went into the Brady Bunch scene I thought I was gonna piss in my pants right then and there...oh my gosh. The funniest thing I have ever heard.

A little too much information came out that night and none of us were intoxicated at all....hmm...strange, but it's all good. I can't tell a lie nor would I want to, so that's what happens. *grin* Must face up to my actions...my good and crazy actions...but mostly just actions...

Had a good time that night...good times. *grin* Sesame Street happened to be on. Amazing that I get that channel, isn't it? *giggle*

Got up early for my DAKlimation Class which I could have lived without. It's amazing that I took that class four years ago and it was the exact same. It was pretty much everything I already knew and a class clearly for just brand new cast members but thankfully they let us go early and I was a happy camper coming home and finding yet again another boy in my bed fast asleep so I pass out on the floor and wake up to a crazy storm and finding Kevin in my face telling me to get in bed. So four hours later we wake up and grab Amy J and Melissa to eat at Jungle Jims.

BEST sandwich I have had in awhile! SO good....our waiter was funny "I can't kick your ass, but my sister can" HA! So funny! Finish eating and head to Baskin Robbins for ice cream and then head back to my place for an impromtu hot tub visit, which was shortened. Oops. *grin* Good thing I am moving out in two weeks. Sorry...

Kevin needed to get back home so he headed out and I crashed only to wake up a few hours later for my most exciting day at DAK today. I am SO happy there! I got there and waited for Jonathan to get me my overview of the area and most common situations that are different from Epcot. It was crazy cause it was like a lot of things were so different even though a lot were similiar at the same time. Strange how that is. I first get there and I see Homer, Tom Strunk and "JeffFilko" walking into our lobby. My Epcot managers found me. *grin* That was awesome...I was like "You missed me *that* much huh?" Awesome!

It was the best day! I love DAK! SO happy to be there for a month! Gonna be awesome...I can tell already. Spent some time in the lobby, window (awesome!), walking around the park, doing a van run, etc. It was great! Eating at Pride Rock again was awesome. Saw Nick at ODF but couldn't say hey cause were were in a hurry but it was so cool to see him in peanut butter again...it's been awhile. So glad I am back!

Got home and have been relaxing and doing laundry most of the day. I was suppose to hook up with Penny (visiting from the ATL) but she didn't call me till after I left the park and I was stuck here for a bit, so hopefully tomorrow! *crosses fingers*

Been online for quite awhile writing this craziness and probably left a good majority out, but it's because all the days have been running together in my mind and I really don't even know what today is. I need to catch up and get back to my normal "real world" schedule, but somehow I doubt it will ever be back.

BTW, found out I have a stalker neighbor..except he is not stalking me...nope...stalking Kevin...that's funny stuff...

If you made it this far...you rock and sorry if I bored you! It was good times to me!

So last night after work I got a spontaneous offer and recommendation. You only live once right? *grin* Good times.

Talked to Kevin on the way and he cracked me up as always. And Jessica's drunk phone call was more than humerous. Good times...

"There's no sleeping in Florida" Proven yet again. Always a good time and got a standing ovation full of applause this time *grin* That was funny!

Went to Steak and Shake where they played one random country song. So random. Couldn't figure it out. Watched some DVDs and hung out. "Let's play games!" Ha...see if I ever use that one again *grin*

Came home early and headed to work. It's gonna be a slow day, I can tell already. I just hope it goes by as fast as it possibly can so I can retreat home for some much needed cleaning and for a chance to catch an ounce of sleep that I might retain this evening.

"JeffFilko" bought me chocolate. Thank you! *grin*

Worked...and been working. Ready to have a couple of days off...soon I know...soon.

I got a very nice letter...thank you. Very unexpected and nice...It is good to be recognized...I just don't know how to take it sometimes.

FYC is coming to PI this week....cannot wait! People...you better be coming out...at least on Thursday...cmon now...*grin*

Watchin My Big Fat Greek Wedding. I love Joey Fatone.

Kinda on the edge...

Happy July 4th!

Woke up to a nice message this morning....nice to know. *grin* Thank you as always.

Watched a bit of Shakespear In Love last night. It is a great movie..fell asleep to it. Slept for awhile, I think my body and mind know that it is gonna be deprived of sleep this weekend and it is trying it's best to get as much as possible. It doesn't matter, PI is gonna rock it out this weekend!

Listening to FYC right now...and spreading the music at work as well....they are currently playing in St. Pete right now so this is my version of my own little show on this holiday.

Crazy day at work so far...crazy day....and it's just getting crazier.

Went to bed about 8ish last night and didn't wake up until 10am this morning. I guess I was tired.

I had Elizabeth's tour yesterday. We were at MK and it was a pretty great day. I think it was one of my most productive tours. They were ready and willing to do it all so...we pretty much did. It was a big group of ten and we got a lot done. They were very grateful and extremely positive about the day so that made me happy.

Today I am back at the help desk. Back home. I have been having a pretty good day at work. Main Entrance and Guest Relations managers have been crazy in playing with me today...it's been fun though. I enjoy those kids. They kept calling me while on speaker phone and harrassing me...gotta love em.

"Never found your station in life...on the radio?" By The GCB

Not sure if I have found my station in life....but I am definitely having fun trying to find it, but then again...I am trying not to get hurt....and that is easier said then done my friends....

Last night was funny times.

"Alfredo's can lick my box"

Glad that comment made people roll on the floor laughing...quite a few people it seems. Well...it was how I felt....they were not the nicest, most helpful people that I have ever encountered. Hmph. But Scott Pitts, Nina Horrocks (Cause she SO rocks!!) cracked me up! Good times...good times...

Got home and Joey Boone beat me to the punch. He was already here waiting to use my computer......Hung out a bit with Tye and Joey Boone then headed to bed. I was exhausted...

Woke up in the mid afternoon with crazy dreams invading my head. Not enjoyable.

Ran some errands, much needed. Got caught up on some things and just rested for most of the day.

Met up with Amy J, Leslie and Mike to go eat at Wolfgang Puck's Express. It started raining so we looked hot...so soaking wet. *grin*

Ate and chatted...then headed to see Spiderman 2 and I felt like a steamtrain ran over me in the theater. I was so warn out just watching the flick. Dear goodness...but it was good...I guess...just exhausting.

Talked to Elizabeth today about my tour tomorrow that I am taking over for her. Seems very interesting...I will have to tell you all about it I am sure.

Wish me luck...
