Resolutions for 2009-

1) GET RID OF THIS COLD

2) Have a better year than 2008

See not too complicated

but I am so tired of this cold.. 2 years Ive had the same box of kleenex and think Ill need to go buy a new box next week... sigh

Project 365

Okay I decided I need a project and this is as good as any... So here are *my* rules (or guidelines if you prefer)

-I will be doing it Disney- BUT its not limited to the parks so on my days off it can be pictures of disney pins etc

-If I miss a day I will allow "memory" days where I can add one of my favorite pics Ive taken BUT those require journaling

The rest I wont require myself to journal (I HATE that part) it will be optional

and I think to stay motivated the blog will be included- Prob not daily but at least weekly... Do I think Ill go a whole year? hopefully...

Thoughts

I know creative title..  Alas its a whole lot of nothing and a little bit of everything...

I went to Aldi's for the first time today and I think I'll like having them around except one thing. I am too short for their store. They put their prices high and then stack their cases in front and it is really hard to see some to the prices- sigh. 

I heard about the whole Project 365 where you are challenged to take a picture a day for a year and I am very seriously considering doing it as I really need a challenge right now... I am also thinking if I theme it to diz that it may be a way to rediscover the little things (course who knows what the year will bring?)

I do think that personally things seem to be looking a bit brighter. We are back to 40 hour work weeks and I was able to get 2 overtime shifts for this week and next. Add that I finally figured out how to use the flex spending thing and should be getting 180 bucks back (not to count free drugs this week and a bottle of contact solution!) Woot... Also add that my family is helping out with my car payments which will take the pinch of immensely. 

Maybe 2009 will be okay

Maybe

Christmas a la Disney

So now my internet is healed.. A few pictures from the kingdom this week...

Tired

So I am so tired of this cold I caught on Christmas- I miss breathing consistently through my nose.. I am VERY grateful to have my internet back :)

Farewell my fish

So my fish died today. I know I didn't appreciate him as well as my last fish but I still think itll be hard to not have him there when I get home... I guess his christmas present of new food wasnt a great idea... 2.5 years was almost as long as I had AP which I know is long for a cheap 10 cent fish but I dont think I was quite ready to say goodbye...

Farewell Pudge. I heard all drains lead to the ocean

End of an Era

So today marks the last day of operation for the business and package center under the original owner and the departing of the crew that made it all happen. Its a weird feeling knowing for the next few weeks will be a growth experiance for both teams old and new as we figure out how to coexist togeather for the betterment of everyone.

Its a weird feeling being the one left behind. I think I prefer to be the one moving on...

Oddest Christmas lunch ever...

Now it was very good but very very odd... So today at work they made lunch which was exciting in the first place (as I think we are all forgetting what lunch is around here with no events all month... anyway..) but for lunch we had...


French Fries


Corn Dogs


and


Swedish Meatballs with Mickaroni pasta

Very good but odd combination....

Least its better than Ramen (okay okay I would've splurged and made Mac n Cheese) so itll just be hitting the cookies!

(and disclaimer- I now realize how much I like Safari's spell check as you go so I apologize for any and all spelling mistakes... cause IE is not checking...)

Merry Christmas!

in leu of the christmas cards that are sitting on my counter still in the box (Least I bought them...) just wanted to wish a very Merry Christmas to everyone....

I would add a cute picture but alas since my internet at home is broken... you get the lite no picture version courtsey of work...

(where is very evident that christmas is a lot less popular of a church holiday than easter on vacation... it's awfully quiet and we would've been fine with 1000 chairs vs the 3700 we set...)

Random Things

So today at Mart they had a new and improved 20 items or less line- Where they only had 1 line and a computerized board that called you to the next ready line... I was impressed- The line seems longer but it moved really well-

Did NOT do much productive today- I did make stroganoff and sugar cookies (well the verdict is still out on those...) and almost passed level 14 on Pizza Palace.. 

Tomorrow is off to MK to finish Christmas at the world... 

 

I have presents under my tree!

Is it Thursday YET?!?!

What I want for christmas...

Ohh just a space shuttle... Its *only* 42 mil (but wonder if I could get a few mil off the 5 mil shipping charge since I live close to KSC... bet I could trailer hitch it to the back of my Toyota and take it down 528- bet THAT would go over well...)

and if I got to choose I'd like Endeavour but Atlantis would be nice too ;)

awwww

Why did they...

have to take prob my all time fav dis ornament and make it better?!? I so want one (and I *already* have 2 of the original ones...) I LIKE the sparkly suit... I guess I need to start hitting prop 'trol to hopefully find one...

Reason 1244 I like living here...

Is that today I spent the day at 'cot and came home pink... So did not remember to grab the sun screen in DECEMBER... It was a balmy 70 degrees... Anywhoot... All in all it was a decent day but they should really coordinate all the story tellers so you don't have to back track around the lagoon so many times to see them all... You could easily put them on rotations so say 11:00 you can start in Canada and 11:30 UK, 12:00 France etc... It was annoying going from Canada to Japan to Italy to Germany to USA to Morocco to UK to France to USA to Norway to Mexico to China... I was soo not then walking back to USA for Candlelight... Most were very good and I did learn something (a bit of histotainment...) but I was disappointed in seeing how abandoned the shrubbery has gotten- very obvious the budgets be slashed here (yes when you wait for the storytellers you notice the plants a bit more- course some was just that obvious...)

Sometimes you just cant make stuff up

because the truth is so much stranger than fiction... So I got a holiday card from my grandpa's wife today who is sad to hear I've been laid off from my job.. Uhh last I checked I still had a job (low hours but a job) and not to feel discouraged.. and yet the card was addressed to my "work" (a) a location that with her spelling doesn't exist- and (b) I haven't worked at in over a year and a half and (c) yet still has my apt number on it- a large hotel doesn't use an apt number.. and (d) if I was laid off how would I get the card..)

Least the check was nice... course if I am "unemployed" you would think she'd be nicer...

If you find...

my motivation please return it... I miss it..

So much to do and zip zilch zero desire to get any of it done...

sigh

Pins Updated...

So I re-arranged my pins this week and while I'm not sure I like it... here is how it currently looks...

From left to right- Top to bottom

Epcot flags, Minnie, Summer

Dumbo, Where Dreams Come True

Bear in the Big Blue House, Sorcerer Mickey, Small World, Medals, Pirate n Princess

Soda Caps, Monorails and Wilderness Region

What I left back in Utah

and yes they had to de-ice the plane... I arrived home to 60+ degree weather... Reason 234 I like Florida more than Utah (but I do miss the family)

Truth is stranger than fiction...

So today we had a group (which is rare now days...) and the strangest thing happened that I am almost convinced its so strange I wouldnt be surprised if it was staged... So the two mice make their grand entrance, walk  a grand U around the room and less than five feet before they hit their spot when the girl mouse passed a volunteer fell back. Now this volunteer was FACING her direction and seemed to be WATCHING and the girl mouse was no closer than an elbow at best (IMO- mind you) and for the next hour the volunteer complained and nursed it... If it wasnt that the group was trying to nickel and dime the whole event I wouldnt be as cynical but seriously...

It was a weird event to say the least... but we did get chicken nuggers, mac n cheese and hamburgers...

I must have had fun cause this month is half over..

Who knows where this month has gone- I dont think I had fun (well except for the weekend at home) but who knows...

Pin Defeat

Okay so I've officially admitted pin defeat- I need more cork boards. I have too many collections that need to grow.. (and yes I still have the pile of pins on my floor..) so now to resume the ever annoying task of finding cheap cork boards that work... Add to the fact Ill prob get a few more pins at the pin sale next week (no comment!- hey my justification is that I didn't buy them at 20% off- so I can get them at 70%) I need space.. 

Alas I'm off to the post office to mail 2 trades off, and then to hopefully find a new shirt and then Mart to look for cork and a small bottle of contact stuff (which I *know* will be expensive but less than checking a bag on the plane..) They downsized the big bottle but its still .5 over the limit...
