Alrighty there ya have it, my favorites!

Can I just say, Pinterest is one of the greatest inventions EVER.
However, I'm so glad I didn't know about this when I was still in college.
I never would have gotten ANY studying done.

Blogger Funk

I've been MIA the last couple days.
No reason in particular save for I feel like I have nothing worthy to write.

It always happens Saturday to Tuesday.
Because on Wednesday and Thursday...I have link ups to participate in.
Meaning I don't have to actually come up with anything original that I think y'all would want to read.
womp womp.

How do all you bloggers out there with amazing blogs do it everyday?

I think I need to get out and get some blogger inspiration!

For today I think I'll leave y'all with one of my favorite Christmas songs:




Till tomorrow. :)

Favorite Holiday Films

It's December!! 
We can officially start saying Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

I actually had the cutest little girl tell me "Merry Christmas" the other night when I was working in the lobby.
It just about melted my heart.

Alrighy so today is Day 4 of:

Fabulous Holiday Blog Challenge

Today I get to share my favorite holiday movies/tv specials.

Well here we go:

The Santa Clause is my all time favorite.  My brother and I watch this with my mom every year.
Oh and if you're interested it's the first movie on tonight for ABC Family's 25 Days of Christmas.


This isn't just one of my favorite Christmas movies (which I watched last night as I decorated the apartment!) it's one of my all time favorite movies in general.  
Totally makes me which I were British.


This is a newer favorite of mine. But I felt I had to to include it because it is just amazing.
In fact the roommates and I watched this last night while we decorated out Christmas Tree.


I don't even think I need to explain this one.


Ok on to TV Specials.
Def one of my favorites is when TBS does 24 hours of A Christmas Story.
I probably watch it at least 4 times on Christmas day.


Of course I can't leave out the Disney's Christmas Day Parade! 
I make my family watch a little of this every year.
Want in on a little secret?
The "Christmas Day Parade" doesn't happen live ON Christmas Day.
No sir.
They film it before Christmas, in fact they're filming it tomorrow and Saturday.
Is your mind blown, cuz mine was when I found that out.


Last but not least are those traditional Christmas cartoons movies they play on ABC Family.
My favorite is "Santa Clause is Coming to Town" because it's narrated by Fred Astaire.
Oh and Jack Frost is another favorite.
But I def don't feel like it's Christmas until I see those playing.



I just love the holidays.  I can't believe they are already here.
Oh and it's finally getting cold here in Florida.

Just what we need to really get into the Christmas spirit!

Merry Christmas starting today!

Turkey and a New Holiday Challenge

Hi Friends...

Well my first attempt cooking Thanksgiving dinner was a HUGE success.
Believe it or not Suz and I actually managed to cook a 14 lb turkey!
It turned out PERFECT.
Unfortnately I don't have pictures of the finished turkey(forgot to snap one..picture fail).
But here are a few others!



Yeah no pictures of people....it was Thanksgiving...it's all about food.

We had such a blast cooking all day.
It definitely made being away from home for the first time a ok.  Except for the fact that in the middle of dinner I caught Suz's head cold.
And kept it for two days.  NOT ok.  

Now it's on to my favorite holiday CHRISTMAS!! 
We haven't decorated the apartment yet, but we did get out Christmas tree.
It's sans ornaments and stuff right now but come Wednesday and Thursday this apartment is gonna look like Buddy the Elf attacked it.  
Also the Disney parks and hotels are all decked out. You can bet your buns photos of that will be shown soon.

Now Neely (A Complete Waste of Makeup) and Amber (Brunch with Amber)  are hosting another challenge!  I had so much fun playing along with their Fall challenge that I knew I had to play along with their CHRISTMAS challenge to here we go:


Fabulous Holiday Blog Challenge

I missed the first day but that's ok because I don't think I could have picked my all time favorite Christmas gift.

Today we get to talk about favorite Christmas traditions.
I have a couple.

My parents have always made sure that we spent Christmas with both sides of our families.
So it's tradition that before Christmas we go to my Dad's parents house and do Christmas with his side.
Then we spend Christmas eve and day with just out family of 4.
After Christmas we head up to Ruidoso, New Mexico and do Christmas with my mom's family.

Other Christmas traditions we have are opening one present on Christmas eve, opening our stockings first on Christmas morning, and mom making breakfast after we've opened presents.

This year I won't be there to do any of our traditions.
Right now I'm not feeling sad or depressed about it, but just wait until the week of Christmas.
Then I might be singing a different song.


Hope your Tuesday is great!
Mine will be because it's my Friday!
Toodles.

Happy Thanksgiving!


This year I have so much  to be thankful for:

-Living my dream working for Disney.

-Great roommates who make spending the holidays away from home totally ok.

-A loving family who supports and loves me.

There is tons more, but unfortunately I have a head cold  thanks to my roommate Suzanne, and I can't think super straight.

It is not fun.

I hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving full of food, friends, family, and TURKEY!

Oh How Pinteresting!

I know I've said this before but I'm gonna say it again.

I love Wednesdays because not only is it my Saturday (ie. my day off) it means that it's time for:

Alrighty well it's time to run to Hobby Lobby and the grocery store because my roommates and I are making out very own Thanksgiving dinner today.
Since we all have to work tomorrow.
Well I don't.
Which kinda sucks since it's my first holiday away from home and I'm actually really depressed about it.
But I'm doing everything I can to stay busy and have a great Thanksgiving with my Disney family.

I hope you all have a great day!
And if you're traveling today....have safe travels!
