I Need to Plan Better

I think I need to plan this particular post better.

It's a post that happens every week.
And should happen on Mondays, yet I can't seem to get my stuff together to actually publish the post on Mondays. 
So I'm gonna work on that.

At least I'm posting it today (granted it's fairly late and I highly doubt anyone is actually gonna read it at this time of night.)  
 But it is what it is.

The weekend was amazing.  
I did absolutely NOTHING!
Seriously, I spent most of the weekend on my bed watching Netflix and catching up on shows I missed from the week.
It was perfect.
Exactly what I needed to recharge my batteries.

As I said I was going to do, I went and saw The Vow this weekend! :)

It was great! 
I cried, I laughed, I drooled over Channing Tatum (and still am), I did everything else you should do when watching a chick flick.
Now I do think they could have developed their (Channing Tatum and Rachel McAdams) relationship a tad more in the beginning of the film.
They just kinda of threw you into it.
But for me it worked.
 In fact I wanted more when the movie ended. 
More of their story.  Because it really is a beautiful and terribly sad story.
Imagine losing the last 5 years of your life.
My roommate and I talked about it.
If I lost the last 5 years of my memory, I'd be a freshman in college.
And there are so many things I regret from that year.
I had some great times, but it was also a pretty difficult time for me.
If the last 5 years of my life was erased from my memory: I wouldn't have ever have come to Disney, I never would have met all the amazing people I did, and I may never have become a teacher. 
Isn't that a terrifying thought! 
Blegh, no thanks.

So...I saw go see The Vow if you love chick flicks, if you want a good cry, and if you want to see Channing Tatum's very nice and tones body/bottom! :)

Alrighty, now onto my week in pictures:

(I need to figure out how to make these pictures bigger. Sorry!)

2/6/12:  Flower from the Polynesian.  The flowers at WDW are truly amazing.
2/7/12: Yeah I had sushi AGAIN.  I think I had a problem.
2/8/12:  3 of 6 great friends together again! :)


 2/9/12:  ECGR BF!  I miss the plaid but am loving the YES Program.
2/10/12: We saw The Vow. :)  
2/11/12: Millenium Cultures training group photo. (This wasn't taken on this day but I got the photo on this day.)
2/12/12: Went to the mall and all that came out of the trip was a Birthday Cake Remix from Cold Stone.

And now it's bedtime.
Hope you all had a great Monday!

High Five for Friday

It's finally Friday! 

Which means I finally have a day off! 
I fully intend to do absolutely nothing today.  That includes be as lazy I can be and watching Season 2 of Downton Abby online and Grey's Anatomy which I missed last night.

But tonight is a different story, because it's February 10th and ladies, we all know what that means!
The Vow is out in theatres!  
WOO HOO!
The roommates and I fully intend on seeing this tonight and we probably need to get to the there uber early so we can get a good seat.  Because I have a feeling we girls will be out in massive groups to see this film!

Alrighty well, on this fine Friday I'm going to link up with Lauren from My Grey Desk for:

My five favorite things from this week in random order:

1. I finally finished training for the YES Program.  And I will be back on a regular schedule. Which means regular days off.

2.  I bought my plane ticket home for my best friends wedding! It's in March and I can't wait! I get to actually visit home too.  That means I get Taco Cabana again and Whataburger AND I get to see my sweet kitty that I miss desperately.  

3.  Another of my best friends Katie came to visit. Suzanne and I got to spend the evening at Epcot with her!

Our yummy adult beverages!

4. We finally get to see The Vow.  Seriously I am so excited for this movie.
I love Rachel McAdams and Channing Tatum.
Ah so excited!



5.  I filed my taxes.  
Now why is this one of my favorite things from the week? 
Well because I get a refund of course! I'm kinda bummed because while I was doing them I forgot to check the box that stated my parents could still claimed me as dependent. Which they can only because I was in school for half of 2011.  So after I went back and checked that box my refunded reduced it self pretty significantly.  But its ok, I'm still getting more than I got last year!  



I hope you all have a wonderful weekend,

My Week in Pictures (Last week I mean)

Hello hello lovelies!
So I'm a day off on my scheduled posts.
womp womp.

I've been trying my hardest to use my new planner to plan out posts and it's been working great.
Until this last week.
I've literally been falling asleep at around 7:30 or 8 every night.
I feel like such a grandma!

But luckily today was my very last day of training.
So I will be back on a normal schedule with real days off!
And hopefully back to regular postings.

For now here what I should be sharing with y'all on Mondays.
My update for my Year in Pictures!
I'm still going strong, but I may or may not have posted 3 days worth of pictures in 1 day.
Fail.
But hey at least I'm taking a picture a day, right.
They rules don't say POST a picture a day they just say TAKE a picture a day.
See it's all in the wording.

So here we go:


1/30/12: My nook updated itself and I can now stream Netflix!  This thing goes with me EVERYWHERE!
1/31/12:  I lost my voice last week and my tea pot and tea became my best friends.


2/1/12:  After my very bad day at work.  Suzanne and I went for sushi. Enough said.
2/2/12: This is what happens when the dishwasher doesn't get run in our apartment. We use measuring spoons as utensils. 


2/3/12:  Back at Epcot! Felt so good to be back.
2/4/12:  This picture doesn't even need an explanation. 
2/5/12: Best part about training in Epcot is getting to have lunch in the World Showcase.
Quiche and a strawberry tart from France!  Oh and that is my new lucky cat from Japan. I found him on the floor.  

(Sorry those last 3 are so small.  Can't seem to get it any bigger. fail.)

I'm really loving this project.  It's going to be a great album to have when I'm all done on December 31, 2012.  

Know what else I'm loving? 
All my new followers!
I'm almost at 100..which is just crazy.
I really do appreciate each and everyone of you!
Thank you so much for supporting this little space of mine!

Till tomorrow!

Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close

Happy Super Bowl Sunday ladies!

Bah...who am I kidding, I don't give a fig about the Super Bowl.
Isn't that terrible.
Maybe if I had a boy I would care but I don't so there we are.

Man, I don't think I've ever been as tired as I have been the last few days.  
Seriously my last full on day off was January 22.
I've had nonstop training the last week and it goes straight through this week.
Then I finally have a day off this Friday! (Saturday and Sunday too! WooHoo).

Let me tell you about the last few days.

So the last program I learned was another Physics program called Energy and Waves.
We talk about sound and light energy and their respective modes of transit. (IE. Waves).
Now I know I've said this before but it bear repeating....
I HATE SCIENCE.
There is a reason I majored in History and English.
My brain does not, in any way, shape or form think scientifically!

And for some reason the portion of the program where we talk about light energy and waves, totally and completely kicked my booty!
It was TERRIBLE!
For the life of me, I could not explain to my group how the electromagnetic spectrum and artificial UV light worked.
I got so frustrated, then flustered and finally embarrassed that I bursted into tears, in front of my trainer and in the middle of the Magic Kingdom park.
Then I cried on the way home, then to my roommate and finally to my Dad.
Luckily the latter two made me feel 100% better and we had sushi to make me feel even better.
I did that portion of the program for Suzanne and it finally clicked because I connected the science to a story.
And WA-LA it clicked.
Nn the last day of training, I ROCKED IT! :)

So then, I immediately started training for the third and final program I will be learning, Millennium Cultures.
Which is by far my favorite!
It's my in my comfort zone and best part?
NO SCIENCE! 
Plus, the program is done at EPCOT so I get to see my Guest Relations family all the time.
Big perk there.

Ok enough work talk. 
Sorry this is a wordy post, but every once and a while you need a wordy post.

So, the last thing I want to share with you all on this fine Saturday is another movie review.

I can now check another movie off my "Movies to See List".
And after seeing this movie I can now say I've seen 5 of the 10 Best Picture nominated films at this years Oscars.

Alrighty yesterday I saw:


This movie is one of the biggest tear jerkers I've seen in a long time.
I think I cried every three scenes or so.
I can completely see why it was nominated for Best Picture.
The movie follows Oscar, as he searches for the lock that fits he finds in his deceased fathers closet one year after his death in the World Trade Centers on 9/11.

The movie will make you laugh (well it'll make you chuckle between sniffles), it will make you cry (obviously), it will make you take a look at your relationships with the people in your lives and what those relationships mean, and it will even make you think of all the people you don't know in the world.

The film really shows you how even after 10 years, 9/11 is still a very tender subject to people. 
I know this because I don't think there was a dry eye in my theatre.

So overall I give this movie 5 stars.

Thomas Horn (the boy who plays Oskar) totally and completely carries and steals the entire movie.  He is fantastic.  Then again so is Tom Hanks and Sandra Bullock, but that is not surprising at all I'm sure.

Go see it. You won't regret it!
 Oh and bring some Kleenex. 
You'll need it.

Hope you all had a great weekend!

Just a Quickie.

Hello pretty ladies!

I hope you all had a wonderful weekend!
Mine was pretty good.  
I started training for my second program and I'm not gonna lie. 
I'm struggling just a tad.
Not with the whole thing, just certain portions.
But I'm def having to study the content.
Blegh.
It reminds me of why I HATE Physics.

On another work note, I will be working for the next 13 days straight.
Yep, that's right. 
No day off until next Friday.
Just thinking about it makes me cringe inside.

Yesterday I missed showing y'all my week of pictures.
So here they are!



1. 1/22/12:  Day spent in Celebration, FL.  My future home.
2. 1/23/12:  Celebrated 4 years with the Disney Company and got my Disney "School Picture" taken.
3. 1/24/12:  New puppy and mommy bonded already!
4. 1/25/12:  Movie night with Suz.  AMC is like my second home.


5. 1/26/12: Dinner at the Polynesian with a new friend and an old friend.
6. 1/27/12: Saw Wishes for the first time in the new year.  
7. 1/28/12:  Picked up a shift in Guest Relations and saw my ECGR bestie (for all of 5 secs!)
8. 1/29/12:  I found this pin at Downtown Disney and it made me think of my best friend in California.
She loves Cruelle and I miss her.


Alrighty ladies.
I'm keeping this one short and sweet!

I'm fixin to go drink about a gallon of hot tea and honey because I've almost completely lost my voice.
No idea why or how.
But it's gone.
It is no bueno, especially considering I have to talk...A LOT in my job.

Off I go!
