Oh How Pinteresting!

Hello my lovely friends.

It's Wednesday again!
Which I'm having a lot of mixed feelings about because it is my last official day at Epcot.

Sad face.  
But after this it is on to a brand new adventure (that I've already told y'all about) that I am so excited to start.

So without further ado, it is once again time for everyone's favorite Pinterest link up with the lovely Michelle:

Time Flies

First post of 2012!
Goodness time has really flown by.

It seems like just yesterday I was telling y'all that I had gotten the job with Guest Relations at Epcot and would be moving to Florida.

Now here it is January 3rd and tomorrow is my very last day.

I can't tell you how much I have loved this job.
I have gotten the opportunity to make so much magic for people, I've gotten yelled at, cursed at, hugged, and I've seen peoples demeanor do a complete 180 because of something I did to make their day better.  I have learned so much about one of the biggest and most successful companies in the world.  
And I have loved every minute of it.

I am so sad to see this part of my life come to an end.
Yes I am beyond excited for what lies ahead and I can't wait to start with the YES Program. 
But I don't want to leave my Epcot family. 
Luckily I found out that I will be able to pick up shifts here and there when I'm not working for YES Program.
And that makes me very happy! :)

So on this, my second to last day of work in Guest Relations, I'd like to take you on trip down memory lane of the last 8 months!

Epcot interns...Global training day 1!

First real shift on the 4th of July.

I can't believe a whole year has come and gone with so much change coming with it.

In honor of 2011, I gonna take a que from my best friend Monica (check out her blog: Monica's Road to the Middle.  She and her new hubby share it and they are HILARIOUS) and do a top 11 of 2011!

It's Ok Thursday

Yesterday was the busiest day at work I have EVER seen.
Seriously there were so many people at Disney that 3 of the 4 parks CLOSED! 
As in they turned people away from the parks.
I know! Shocking!

Epcot was disgustingly busy.
Luckily I didn't have to be in the craziness that was our Lobby.
But I'm working this morning too.
Hopefully it's not AS crazy! 

Now I haven't done this link up in about 8 years so I decided to today!

Its Ok Thursdays

It's Ok:

....to be excited for a new job but be extremely sad to leave the old one.

.....to be jealous that your brother got a trip to Vegas for Christmas and all you got was a few new clothes from Loft. (Even though I love Loft)

.....to be annoyed that only 2 of 4 roommates actually do the dishes/straightening up of the apartment.

....to love getting gift cards for Christmas but not love giving them.

.....to be sad you're missing family Christmas/New Years for the first time EVER

....to love your own finger nails when they look like this:


I've worked hard to get these results.  
I'm proud.

....to feel like half your day has been wasted when you sleep past 9 am.

....to love the cold weather that has finally graced the state of Florida with its presence the last two days.
(80 degree weather on Christmas day is just wrong.)

....to be working all 7 days this week and not be mad because it means more money in the bank!

....to look at prices for flights to various cities in Europe just because you live in a city that flies to those cities.

....to be excited for Project Runway Allstars

....to want Once Upon a Time to come back on TV again.
Oh and Modern Family too!

....to think the new Timeline on Facebook is weird and makes it even more stalker like.

....to be anxiously awaiting Awards Season! 
 The Golden Globes will start us off on January 15th! 
SO EXCITED!!

....to sometimes wish your life was like a Romantic comedy.


New Years Eve is just days away.  I need to work on my resolutions.  Resolutions that I will make and not keep.  womp womp.

Happy Thursday!

Christmas and Oh How Pinteresting

So I planned out posted for this whole week, thinking that if I already had a topic I would write.
Fail.
I'm working an insane amount this week and just haven't had the chance to sit down write them.
But I have the morning off so here I am!

Quick update on life before we get to the good stuff.

Christmas 2011 was not as bad as I was expecting.
The roommates and I got up, opened presents from each other and then made a yummy Christmas breakfast.
We even sat at the table:

Yes those are thanksgiving napkins ( we didn't have Christmas ones. Womp womp.)


And Cinderella waffles!

The whole morning was delightful.

What made it even better was I got to skype with my family back in Texas! So we all opened presents together!  
Isn't technology just great! :)

The day finished up with a great day at work! Where everyone was in the Christmas spirit! :)

Alrighty now on to everyones favorite link up with Michelle:

Presents! Presents! Presents!

Last night my roommates and I spent about 2 hours talking about our top 3 favorite Christmas presents we've EVER gotten.
Tough questions huh!

Of course none of us could decide on just 3, but we had such a good time laughing and sharing stories.

So I figured I would share some of my favorites with y'all.

But I think I'll settle on just 3.

1. One Christmas, when my brother and I, were about 8 and 9, we got a Jeep Power wheels that looked a lot like this:



I really wanted the hot pink Barbie one...but when you have a younger brother the parents gotta go with a unisex Jeep. 
We drove that thing into the ground up and down out street! 
And with the box it came in my best friend and I from down the street made a house! Complete with windows, curtains, flowers, a door.  All cut out and drawn onto the outside of the box of course.
But we had our very own house and car to drive.


2.  Another year I got a complete tea set/dress up set.   It was a white wicker table and chairs, with a pink ceramic tea set.  And on the chairs were two complete sets of dress up clothes. Complete with two dresses, matching sashes, hates, gloves...the works.  This was my 6 year old dream present.
(Actually it's my 23 year old dream present too! But would include big girl clothes and this tea set:)

I've been dying for this set FOREVER!

3. This last one is a much more modern gift.  In fact it's from last year:


My Nook. 
 I adore this thing.  It goes with me EVERYWHERE! 
I got it for Christmas last year and have loved every minute of it.

Well those are some favorites from years past.
This year is going to be different.

I'm not at home for Christmas this year. 
At all.
Not even for a little bit of it.
My parents had to send me a few presents in the mail and vise versa.

It's gonna be awful strange not waking up in my own house on Christmas day.
Opening stockings and then presents with my family.
But I'm making the best of it! 
The roommates and I all have the morning off so we're gonna make a big Christmas breakfast, exchange gifts and then I'll Skype with my parents and brother and we'll have our own little Christmas.
Thank goodness for technology! :) 

So here are a few things that would be on my Christmas list IF I were spending it at home:
(yes I found most all of this on Pinterest)

-Burberry London perfume
-a new Coach purse
-Giftcards (love getting them, and only give them as a last resort.)

-And clothes
 (which I'm pretty sure is what my mom sent me anyway!)

Actually, I never really know what I want for Christmas anymore. 
It's really hard for me to say...."Yes I want this, and this, and that."
So I just give general stuff like..."Perfume, a new purse, clothes." 
That kinda thing.  

Anyhoo...I'm trying my hardest to make my very first EVER Christmas away from home full of the Christmas spirit and so far I'm succeeding.

What are some of y'alls all time favorite Christmas presents?
