Food for thought...

Good evening/morning!  It's seemed like a long day, but it will be nothing compared to what I am about to face in a few hours... ONE MORE DISNEY DAY at Walt Disney World... for a whopping 14 hours with crazed and delusional guests.  Wish me all the luck you can wish, because I'll need it to stay awake!!

On another note, I finish work at 6:15am on the morning on Thursday the 1st, and shortly thereafter, head to the Orlando airport to pick up my very best friend in the world--Mom!  A few days here in the parks, and then it's back to New York I go! :/

I want to share a yummy recipe I found on Pinterest tonight through a friend of mine.  Just look at the picture and TRY not to click the link and learn how to make those scrumptious cookies!!

I think it will be one of my first baking experiences when I get back to New York, and I'll let you know how it turns out.  That's really it for me tonight, though.  I need to get as much sleep as possible before the 14 hour shift ahead of me.

Goodnight world, and Happy Leap (and Hump) Day!!

First thing's first...

These past few days have all meshed together, and it is hard to recall what has happened.  I know that I went to bed around 10:00 pm on Friday night, only to wake up an hour later and fail at my mission of falling back to sleep before my 5:00 am shift on Saturday.  However, I made it through that eight-and-a-half hour shift, and proceeded to spend the rest of the day with friends in Epcot and Magic Kingdom parks (until 1:30 am Sunday morning).

Today I worked from 3:30 until 11:30 pm, and went to meet some other friends out at the tavern for a bit, and am just getting home from a few very long days now.  I'm sad to say that my life will be slowing down in just a few days when I head back to New York. :(

Mom's coming down on Thursday morning to spend a couple of days, and we are starting the long drive as soon as I am out of work on Saturday afternoon.  Short but sweet visit I guess this has been.

Anyhow, onto better and happier thoughts.  I've wanted a dog for a few years now, but it just hasn't been the right time.  I'm hoping that SOON is the right time.  All I have to do is find a job, settle somewhere, and make sure that I am allowed to have pets in whatever apartment I find after April (or later).  I've been looking at Pomskies (I'm finding lots of negatives, but a few positives, and they're soooo cute!!).


Look at this little guy!!  I WANT THOUGHTS!!  That's my "thing" for the night; I'll come up with some"thing" else tomorrow perhaps, and share it.  I'm off to bed--this life is exhausting!!

Life sure is crazy!

This one's going to be very short.  I got through the day yesterday, and the same goes for today.  The only problem is that my car died, I had to have Disney security jump it, and I need to get a new battery this weekend (not to mention I have to go back to work at 5am tomorrow).  But all is well, and I'm hoping to manage the drive back up north in a week.

I know I probably have zero viewers right now, but as soon as I get into the swing of things, and figure out how I'm going to blog more than twice a week, I'll put it out there for more to see!  'Hope the week has gone well for everyone, and I will try to get through the weekend without spending TOO much on a new car battery! Goodnight, world!

Welcoming myself to blogging

Well, welcome to this brand new blog.  I've always been interested in the blogging world, but put it off saying, "I have no time for that.  There are more important things to do each day."  I finally gave in, and decided I need to do something for myself, and this is just the thing!

It might take me a while to ease into it, and I promise I won't get to it more than twice a week, if that.  But, let's try it out.  I'm sure my posts will be jumpy, and random depending on my thoughts in the moment, but I'll do my best.

I'm waiting (not so) patiently for my shift to begin today.  Working seasonally at Disney World, I have no set schedule, and most of my time working is spent in the middle of the day or late-night.  My shift today is 7:15pm to 1:30am, and I have no money in my bank account to leave the house and do anything, really.  However, I can't complain... I'm alive and well, with friends and family who will NOT let me go hungry or sick.

It's my third year working at Disney, and I am leaving next week to head back up to chilly (although nothing like it should be in the wintertime) Upstate New York.  I'll get there on my niece's sixth (woah!) birthday, spend a week or two with my mom and family, and then head back to my Western New York apartment to get some substitute teaching days in (in hopes that they will grow to enjoy my professionalism more than they already do, and offer me a job in a few months!!) and hopefully make more that just my rent per month :/  Although, I'm not complaining--just explaining how it is at the current time!!

Anyhow, I should begin to put my beautiful, chicken-skirt-and-ugly-shirt costume on, and energize myself enough to run around Fantasyland all night!  I hope I didn't completely bomb my first stab at this blogging thing, and I'll try my best to post again soon!
