| "You may not be her first, her last, or her only. She loved before she may love again. But if she loves you now, what else matters? She's not perfect - you aren't either, and the two of you may never be perfect together but if she can make you laugh, cause you to think twice, and admit to being human and making mistakes, hold onto her and give her the most you can. She may not be thinking about you every second of the day, but she will give you a part of her that she knows you can break - her heart. So don't hurt her, don't change her, don't analyze and don't expect more than she can give. Smile when she makes you happy, let her know when she makes you mad, and miss her when she's not there."

| So...things are still great. I have the love of my life by my side every morning when I wake up (I would say at night when I go to sleep but he works at night...). I love that every night as I am sleeping in our bed, he comes in and gives me a kiss to let me know he is home and safe. He thinks that his kiss wakes me up...but I usually wake up the instant I hear our bedroom door open. I just keep my eyes shut. He goes to bed between 4 and 9 am (depending on what time he gets off work)...and I am up at 8 to get ready and go to work. He goes to work between 5 and 6 and I am coming home at 6:30 or 7 every day... I have a roof over my head. I have other roommates that I wouldn't trade for the world. I have a job that I really enjoy. Don't get me wrong...I get frustrated when other people make the dumb mistakes they do and I have to fix them, but I really do love the company I work for. I have a family that loves and supports me. My health is alright. I did find out that I have gallstones and have to go see a specialist for further treatment or something and have to take medicine nightly now but I am living and breathing and able to do the things I love doing. I get to go to Disney World for free any time I want (that will help take you out of a funk). I can go 1-ish hours either east or west and be on a real beach. Things really do look good around here.... | | |
| So...in my last blog I explained how my life has changed and how truely happy I am. It's true. I can't deny it. I am one happy girl. Part of the reason I am so happy a lot of the time can be contributed to my relationship with Mike. I worked a full day on Thanksgiving. I was the only person in the office (I volunteered to work so the rest of the office could have the time off to spend with their families since they have family here in Florida and I don't). I went home after work and took a nap. Kim woke me up from my cat nap for Thanksgiving dinner and then I proceed to get ready to go out. I planned on going downtown and seeing some of my friends play at a club. I got downtown and met up with Pedro for drinks and bar hopping and eventually ended up at Voyage. Pedro and I were with a group of people sitting VIP and after a little bit I decided I had enough and was ready to go. I went around the club to say good bye to some of my friends. As I was stopping by the bar to say good bye to Jody Marie and Ezra I noticed a guy walking by. I locked eyes with him and he came over and offered to buy me a drink...and that's where it all started. I met Mike 3 months ago in a bar...and now he is moving in with me and we couldn't be happier. The only thing that really sucks is the fact that we both work different schedules (he works over night and I work during the day). We are really similar in things and that really makes a difference. He has been very considerate of my wants and needs and takes those things into account. He listens to me and actually considers what I want and we talk things out to figure out feasibility (like buying furniture and grocery shopping and all kinds of things). I don't know...I just can't remember the last time I was this happy... Well, I have a couple of more things to do to make our house....home. :) | | |
| Like most people...I do most my stuff on MySpace. I decided to drop in on the old Xanga and see what was going. As I was perusing I remembered why it was I like Xanga. MySpace has the bulletins and events and stuff going on...Xanga has people who are here for the sole purpose of just letting it out...being real...freely thinking and sharing. I used to blog...a lot. Now, as my life has changed and my direction has twisted and turned I have noticed that I have had significant changes. I used to share thoughts and feelings more freely but now my thoughts and feelings are no longer really mine. It seems like my life belongs to the corporate food chain that is Disney. But don't get me wrong...I love my job. I don't regret moving to Florida a single bit. Moving to Florida was more than just a whim...it was a turning point in my life. I graduated college and was ready to change and grow up a little...but just a tiny bit. Things are definately different. I have found more of myself moving here. Since I have moved here I have discovered more about my relationship with my family than I ever realized I had. I actually have a good relationship with my family. My parents have shown me more support than I ever would have imagined I was going to get. My dad wasn't thrilled to hear my decision to move. It was more of the concerned dad angle than anything. He was concerned about what I would do if my car broke down or if I was hurt or anything else. All very sound concerns. One June day Dad and I took off and headed east...and now here I am. I came here and started with Disney as a Deployment Assistant in the Magic Kingdom and have since moved two postions...and I still have no where to go but UP. Other things have changed quite a bit. I have dated...and now I am happy with my Mike. I live in a really nice apartment with two great roommates. I have food in my cabinets. I really am happy. Don't get me wrong...I have down days where life seems to suck...but all in all--I love my life. I don't know. I just felt the need to get on the old Xanga and do a little rambling. I think I will be checking in more often....I miss my Xanga and the real people here. | | |
| Here we go. I have been oh so busy. I have moved (one and a half times...). I transitioned into a new role at work. I think this is going to be the start of something great. I am now working at the Disney Reservation Center as a scheduling specialist. I process medical leaves. It is not bad. I am starting with just medical leaves and soon will do family leaves. After that, I will move into actually scheduling. I deal with about 2000 cast members in two locations (Orlando and Tampa). I have my own desk now and work on a team with 7 other people (but only two of us deal solely with leaves-me and my trainer). I see a ton of opportunity with this role. Things just look brighter and better every day. I have moved. Since my professional internship was over, I had to get out of the company sponsored housing. I moved first into a hotel (for two days), then into a timeshare with a friend (for a week), then into a hotel with my dad (while he was visiting for 6 days), then into a different hotel (for 3 days), and finally into my beautiful townhome with two great roommates. I worked with Kim while I was at the Magic Kingdom and met Alicia at the Magic Kingdom as well. Since Kim and I get along great it was an easy decision. Alicia and I just kindda got together and said "hey wanna live together" and it worked. So far, so good. We have practically no furniture but it's ok. I have a futon to sleep on (compliments of my friend Monica) and a tv table with my TV and DVD player. Kim has a bedroom worth of stuff (since she has been here for a while). Alicia was also in company sponsored housing so we both had no furniture. Our living room is complete with a futon (seems to be a theme) and a small table. We do have a glass top dining room table with chairs. I found a really nice couch in the cast classifieds at work but they decided not to sell it for a couple more months. I am going to be the first person they call when they decide to sell though. It is beautiful. I can't wait. I really don't need NEED it now so it is no biggie. One of my new co-workers also has a chair that she wants to sell. It is a perfect chair for curling up to read a book. I can't wait for that piece of furniture. If it doesn't go in the living room I have a perfect place for it in my room-next to the BIG window. OK. What has been going on? Nothing much really. I was working my butt off over the holidays and any time else I could. Many nights have been spent at the Ale House (especially on Tuesdays...ladies night and free drinks) or out with friends. Now that I am in a new role with regular hours, I will have more free nights. I like the fact that I know my schedule and what days off I will have. I can actually make plans now. Well, I guess that is all for now. If you have made it this far, thank you for your interest. I will try to pop in more often. | | |
