Last Day

So it has yet to hit my but last night was my last night at work.  It was the last time I'd be the Boss Lady and run the show.  But, I made darn sure that we left the store looking good and with my last night having a good mark.

It is weird to know that tonight I don't have to go to work or the next day or the next day or the next day.  Now all I have to do is make it through the holidays, pack and start driving.

Disney World here I come!!

I've been laying here for a while just thinking about everything that needs to get done between now and then and it is quite a bit. But, I am not worried. It will all get done, it always does.  It is just crazy to think that in a matter of weeks I won't be getting bundled up to go outside. That instead of boots I'll wear sandals.  

For 5 months I'll be enjoying the sunshine and the magic of Disney.  I can't wait to meet my roommates for I know wonderful adventures await us in the future.  I can't wait to explore every nook and cranny of the parks.  Eat everywhere I have ever wanted to eat.  Have a delicious Dole Whip whenever I please. Oh and we can't forget the Corn Dogs! I will be corn dogged out by the end of the program.

So now as I am on vacation between jobs I'll be sure to keep busy.  With getting everything done for the holidays and getting ready for my impending adventure.  These next 19 days will soar by in a blink.

To those of you from my old job: I will miss you dearly as I depart down this new road.  But, don't you fear I will return and our shenanigans will start again.  I have so immensely enjoyed working with you. I have so many wonderful memories from my time at the store with all of you.  The laughs, the jokes, the customers.  It has been a wonderful adventure.

But it is time for me to start a new adventure to travel down a road I've never traveled and do things I have never done.  Now is the time I am young. I have no mortgage.  I have the freedom to run off to Disney for 5 months and I have every intention of seizing the opportunity!

Let the magic begin :)

Sinking in

So I was sitting in class last night and it was my last class for a while.  Once my final grade for this class is entered I will officially (and finally) have my associates degree.  So I was sitting there trying very hard to listen to what my classmates were presenting for our final speech. But, I just couldn't do it. That's when it hit me.  After class I was going to be done with school until August.  In just a matter of weeks I will be moving to Florida.  That it was already the 11th and Christmas was right around the corner.  

So much happening for me soon and it all is finally starting to sink in.  There is oh so very much to take care and it seems like oh so very little time to do it.  I may have to stop watching the Price is Right every morning to get it all done.  But, not until next week.  Today is Bob Barkers birthday and they're celebrating all week! So ya know that is too important to miss! haha

So with all of the excitement I've been keeping busy so that I don't scare my self by getting all nervous. I'm working hard for my last handful of shifts at work I'm taking care of lots of things around the house.  I'm doing everything I can to be prepared.  I know that if I am prepared for these next weeks the nerves will be less.

Happy Holidays to everyone! Hopefully we can all be prepared for the holiday season so that we can enjoy them instead of being stressed out!

The Butterflies

So it is happening. I feel like I am 18 again and going away to college for the first time. I have begun my packing for my great big adventure to Disney World!  I am starting to get nervous and excited.  It is one of the situations where I just don't know what I should be feeling.

I know I am about to embark on a wonderful adventure! But, it is going to be a little scary.  I have never been this far from home.  I've never been asked to move thousands of miles from home and not know exactly what I'll be doing.  There are a lot of question marks up in the sky for me!

The good thing is I only have 10 more days until I'm done with work. Then I will have a little time to get everything in order. I will need to pack. Get all my paperwork done.  Get my travel plans in order.  Oh my once I am done with work I'm going to need to be very productive to have everything done!

I've used the internet to my advantage and I have made some friends. Friends that I have grown incredibly anxious to meet in person.  Friends I can't wait to start making memories with! And friends that I hope become friends for a lifetime.

I am a grown woman who still is very much so a child at heart. I still believe in incredible amounts in the magic that Disney has.  Just a few weeks ago I went to Disneyland for the very first time. I cried.  Twice.  There is just so much magic there.  It was my first experience so it held extra magic for me.  And watching all the children and seeing the magic happen before their eyes well it made me cry.  Disney has a way of putting on a fireworks show like no one else and the magic in the show makes me cry every time.

Disney we are about to embark on quite the adventure together. And although I am scared I am incredibly excited.

I'm Back

It's been quite a while but I am feeling like blogging again. So I am back.

I have this horrible quality where I fall too hard.  I always hit the ground running.  When I like something I really like something.  I like it more than anything else and it becomes my everything.  Then I sort of have this tendency to forget that I know about anything else. My world gets so consumed by whatever my latest obsession is.  It is a bit of a problem. And I always get upset when other people don't share the same passion that I do or they don't understand my passion for something.  I don't expect everyone to feel the same way I do about things. But, they could at least try to understand the way I feel.

I feel like I have lost my touch at this. I am hoping that you've all forgotten about it anyhow and won't read this anyways.

I have a habit of making something my world and getting hurt when I'm not it's world as well.

I take things to personally and my feelings get hurt.  

I don't typically bare all my feelings. It takes me a while to open up.  When I do open up I always hope to be well received.  But, I as most females and I'm sure some males, envision things playing out one way and get hurt when they don't actually occur that way.

Which is why for years I've been trying to stop envisioning things down to a T.  I am working on going with the flow.  I'm working on not caring about things so much.  Sometimes I need to open my mouth more and other times I need to just keep it shut.

My mother has told me that I will someday ruin my marriage proposal from opening my big ol mouth at the wrong time.  It has also been said that I will screw up my acceptance of said proposal cuz I suck at speaking.  Even after taking a course on speaking articulately I still feel like an absolutely failure in matters of words.  Talking just isn't my thing.

This post has zero purpose and no sense of direction.  But this is how my mind works. Unorganized. Inconclusive. Any other adjectives of the same idea.
