MERRY CHRISTMAS YA’LL

·         Gift giving (calendars)

·         Face painting

·         Smiles

It was actually quite fun. I was surprised that I was in as good a mood as I was. Considering it was Christmas and I really wanted to be at home with my family. We did have a table collapse while kids were getting their faces painted (no one got hurt).  This little girl was so cute, she tried to catch the table while she was getting her face painted. There were a few others who weren’t so smart with the table… they watched it collapse nad the mother let her girls lean up against it anyway as she proceeded to tell me the table wasn’t very sturdy. She wasn’t the sharpest tool in the shed if you know what I mean.

The rest of the day went pretty well… didn’t see SCOTTIE until well into the afternoon but I got the nav checked , torch signs created and then in the evening went to serve dinner in the mess with the leadership team. At 8:30 we had officers dinner in Beach Blanket which was REALLY nice… all the officers on the ship were there including the Captain… Captain Henry.  We brought a little YA to the event… had a Mufasa while we were up there… monkey spilled her glass of water all over the table… the waiter spilled Monkey’s food.  I came back home and Disney came over… we finished out the day hanging out and watching movies… even though I feel like I have bubonic plague. Talked a lot about life not on the ship… he found my journal and wanted to read it … uhhh… NOPE. He says I’m complicated to figure out and he would like to get into my head for one day, lol. I’d say I’m complicated… more guarded than complicated but nonetheless it’s a barrier. My walls are high enough to keep me safe but low enough for the right person to come on in.

MERRY CHRISTMAS YA’LL!!!

LOOOOONGEST DAY EVER!!!

Thursday – 12/22/2010

Loooooongest day ever!! There are a few people driving me up the wall here… my rockstar edge put together team is amazing though (Vinny, Hunter, Melanie and Tyler). Moving furniture into the Edge… it was only 2 hours late… no big deal. LOL. We’re open now though!!! Things went smoothly except no one knew what technology was going where… Alfot/Vibe was hoppin tonight!!

At parties, Mr. Disney finds his way to the area that I am in… I’m trying to keep work peeps out of my business. I think I’m getting really sick… my whole body hurts. I feel like I’m trying to outrun the flu. It would really suck if I was sick on NYE and Christmas… not sure why I wrote about it in that order since it’s vice versa. I want to be able to go out on New Years… I have a really cute dress, but I think I’m online to be working at midnight. I’m on lates in a few days so it’s probably a no go. Tomorrow night Mr. Disney and I are going to hang out and we are supposed to go off ship and have some fun together. We’ll see how I’m feeling. CHRISTMAS party tonight was insane with the Port Adventures crew… everyone was there and everyone was glad they got something from their secret santa.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!

I’m alive, I’m alive, I’m alive!

So I realize I am in hot water with the moms. I haven’t called or emailed in almost a week (sorry mom!)

I’ve been really busy. We are rolling out new technology in our spaces and trying to make sure it is all ready to go. For the new spaces… we open those on Thursday so maybe I won’t call mom. I’ll try. I really really will. It’s 2 am and I went for a walk with Disney… good times… saw a preview of the new show coming to the Wonder with the crossing. It was good. It’s not the best of the shows that we have but it was still pretty good. For those HUGE Disney fans out there. You have to come cruise and see this show The Hunchback of Notre Dame is even in this one as are and Tarzan and Turk. Good stuff.

I realized today that I love to learn but I am not in a place too conducive to being successful. I’m going to make it work. I am going to take the rest of my early days and maybe study until 10 then I can have people over or go out .She works normal hours so it’s a bit hard when I’m on lates since I’m wired but have to be quiet. Mr. Disney comes over after work sometimes and we chill or go for a walk. I’m such an outside freak… he’s a bit of a girl about the cold and finds a reason to look as cold as possible. It’s hilarious… such a girl. Tonight after the show we went for a walk and he asked me if I thought that we could be attached. I’m so antisocial right now but he’s ready to try some of our goodness out in a public venue. NOT GOING TO HAPPEN.I have one huge hang up.


Hmmmm… things are really busy at work. Getting ready for the 7 days.

Holy Late Start Batman!!

So, I have finally been able to get off the ship YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!! It's been a rough two weeks. Anything that could go wrong has gone wrong. It's been awful to be honest. Just got my costumes 2 days ago... and NONE of them fit.  Let's start from the beginning shall we?

As you know I got trapped in the hotel...a t least that's how it felt. Now I'm on ship but wow it's a struggle. I feel like I'm living in some alternate universe at this point. Got on ship and was in put in a room down stairs with a nursery counselor this after the room that they gave me already had 2 people in it. Crew office is a bit special. THEN, i got a room moving slip again last embark... the crazy bitch in there wouldn't let me putm y bag in the room. She said "You can leave it outside". Now you all know ther eis no way in hell I am leaving my luggage outside of some door. She was a dirty biatch though... she left all sorts of stuff behind and it was ridiculous.

Trying to get my self together and really get going in my new role here on the ship. I feel like by the time I get any idea of the lab operation and the counselors, I am goin to be transferring. No bueno. I'm having a good time exploring new things with ... we'll call him "Disney". Hanging out and enjoying  getting to know you ... getting to know all about you...get to like you, getting to hope you like me..." okay sorry a little song there for your viewing pleasure. :o)  He's a good guy and we have the same personality in a lot of ways... an interesting thing could be a brewing except for the fact that I transfer and he is staying here at the moment.

My first 4 cruises have been awful but I met two AMAZING families this past cruise and hope that they had a great experience. That's what I love about this job, being able to make a huge impact on a family/ a child.

In a nut shell (my computer is about to die)... work has been more awful than good at this point and personal life has been fun. :o) I'm uber emotional I think more so b/c the holiday is coming and I miss my mom and my brother. It is going to be hard. New Years Eve is an embark day I think so that sucks a bit but could be some fun being out on the water!

Gotta go battery is not going to last, maybe i'll ad more later if I can find a plug here in the Barnes and Noble.

LOVE YOU/MISS YOU!!
