I promised updates and I have not delivered.
I am sorry.
I haven't been home a lot and I hate updating on my phone, it's just too difficult. Things have been crazy and emotional lately.... so much stuff going on and yeah it's just been a whirlwind... I can't believe it's almost August. Already my birthday is coming around again.
I brought my laptop to Chris' house but don't think that I'll be updating a bunch... but yeah, I have about 6 drafts started and I need to add more.
le sigh.

droid picture round up
Not exactly a week... almost like a month... I'll finish it up for the month once the month is done :) I'm surprised I took as many as I did. I guess I could do a monthly instead of weekly round up....hmmmm
May 1st - Dodger Game with my love :)
May 2nd - Ebay watches came in the mail! I accidentally won 7 of them....haha. they were .99 so i figured other people would bid on them.... guess not!
May 3rd - I went to the laundromat... it was quite an exciting day
May 4th (Maythefourthbewithyou) - Chris and I bought ducks to benefit Make a Wish and entered them in the duck races at Disneyland. They get to race in the It's a Small World Track :) We dressed ours up as Tomorrowland Cast Members. Autopia, Space Mountain, and even the new Star Tours II costume! The last one was planned to be a Cupcake but I failed and ended up making it the duck from Nightmare Before Christmas. Chris did a really good job on all the costumes I did terribly on the only one I had the chance to decorate. Oh well. We're prepared for next year :)
This is what they turned out like
May 5th - Chris and I are watching the Clone Wars..finished the first season and love it! Can't wait to get started on the 2nd
\
May 6th - The Star Tours poster is up! The countdown is on...
May 7th - My wonderful friends came down to celebrate Laura's Bachelorette Party... we went to DTF and had we had a grand time dressing her up and embarrassing her :)
May 8th - Spent the day in Disneyland with all the ladies before they went back home to Nor Cal
May 9th - Sushi... I needed sushi so bad...that I went by myself and it was totally worth it
May 10th it was an eventful day so there's more than 1 picture :) Rubber Duck races! We didn't win anything but it was fun anyways
Walking out after the duck races.... Chris cracks me up :)
Star Tours Luncheon at the Grand Californian... it was all catered and these are the desserts. They were mini so I took one of each. We also got to hear from the imagaineers and everyone so it was really awesome.
May 11th - It was a pretty day and we had breakfast at Bruxie :) Waffle sandwiches are amazing.
May 12th - They finally showed up! I ordered these like a month ago. www.jameshance.com amazing prints, shirts, paintings.... bottom line this man is talented. I love seeing things I love and I am familiar with in a different view.
May 13th - *shudder* the tours jacket came in...don't think i'll be sporting this
May 14th - had to say bye bye to the old disney id and now they are blue...same dumb picture though
May 15th - I ended up parking next to Julius and we were Klot buddies
May 16th - Chris picked us up the Tours tumblers! So excited to use this on a daily basis :)
Month is halfway over and I still have so much to do this month! I really didn't think this month would be so busy. I'll be better about taking pictures each day. But I didn't take one yesterday lol. Oh well.

what else is new?
Let's be positive now :)
Chris and I went to the first of many baseball games that we have planned for this summer! Even though the Dodgers lost we still had an awesome time in kick ass seats. I'll have to post pics once I get on a real computer again. We also didn't have to work anywhere else so met up with our friends in the Tomorrowland sofball game and watched that then went to Shakey's for pizza and more visiting and celebrating Osama's death. Which is a huge part of history. I'm just anxious to see what's going to happen next.
Little Mermaid and Star Tours are both opening up soon. Miranda is graduating 8th grade and I've got my flight booked to get up there for a couple of days then get back down here. Got a Grad night scheduled on this new schedule. Ashley is planning on coming down in July. The wedding is coming up at the end of the month ...then Leslie is crashing in the living room till we find a place together. Christine is talking about finding a house but I'm not sure I can live with her for longer than necessary. It's so nice not being in Eileens house. umm....what else? Birthdays and what nots and all sorts of good stuff in between. Spring break is over and we get a small break till summer kicks in at the park.
I might copy Ashley this week and next week post up pictures from my week. Seems like a fun thing.

found it! kinda
It's been a while since I posted. But things went well with training. She passed and so did I :D
I even had my own set of trainees and they both passed
I'm very relieved. Things went really well and they both caught on quickly and had no problem with the PA. I felt so good about it all until the other day when one of the trainees made a really bad move. I don't really want to get too far into it because it will just make me sad again. But basically he could be getting written up a safety for it. But we'll see. I took it as a reflection of my training so I took it pretty hard, I can't help it but take it personally. Danielle my friend who's a lead helped talk me through it. You give them the right tools and once they are signed off it's up to them how they use them. I'm almost afraid to train again.
And guess what Saturday is? Training! But not at Autopia.it's at Star Tours. Luckily and unluckily I'm getting people who already knew the attraction before so it will mostly be review and talking about the new positions that were brought in. Chris was supposed to have training at the same time but they called and pulled him out of it. Dumb. But the biggest part I'm not excited about this training is that there was no shadowing really. We're all just getting thrown into.it. and since I'm still a new trainer and have yet to get in my groove and there's no set up way to do it just yet I feel so lost. I'm attempting to keep my cool on the outside but on the inside I'm screaming for help.
This post I wanted to be positive but once I started typing all the negative stuff started to just spill out.boo.

what is wrong with me?!
My nerves are starting to get the best of me. I did shadowing and then yesterday started the core trainer shadowing me. The night before I couldn't sleep. Nightmares of not waking up on time, not knowing what I'm doing and not being able to handle 2 trainees for 3 days. Thank goodness I have till Saturday till we start again so I can get my brain untangled. I felt so depressed yesterday after our opening shift. The biggest thing that I think is scaring me is not having enough time to get everything done and have them figure it out. One of the trainees called in and so I was only dealing with one and still felt like I ran short on time. The hard stuff is out of the way for the most part. 101s are a little confusing but at least we'll be backstage so it won't be as frantic. Also they aren't allowing me to bring home my training binder. so I feel a little unprepared in that way as well. I think I'm going to take it home anyway. I can't continue to feel this way. I'm confident I know what I'm doing. I don't like feeling this way. Thank goodness for Chris. He is really helping me through it. I just don't feel like I'm doing a good job. Chris talked to my trainer, well he actually trained both of us at auto, and he was asking how I was doing and let him know that if Meggan, the core trainer, didn't think I was doing it right or thought I wasn't going to be able to do it she would have pulled me out and up to the managers. So that's a good thing. She told me my nerves were adorable when I first started talking in the morning.
I really need to get my ass in gear, and I will, just need to find that boost of confidence that I lost somewhere. Have you seen it?

my year
So I've decided I want to make this my year...I really believe I'm in charge of my own happiness so I'm going to make the best of it. Starting off....
1. I got Autopia trainer!! So so excited for this and I start shadowing on the 18th and cannot wait. It's starting so fast but it will be amazing :)
2. Tax return! Extra money for paying off some bills and also saving so Chris and I can do a bay area trip for Laura's wedding. Super excited for the wedding, I'm so happy for Laura.
3. I got a smart phone! I know I'm way behind on the technology but I'm really happy that I finally have something not ghetto lol. I'm actually doing my updating on here right now!
And it's super cool looking too and I get to be a geek about it. I love it so much

4. I'm moving out of Eileen's....I've had enough of the abuse and ready to move on. Christine is letting me live with her for a little while until...
5. Leslie is moving down!! I'm super excited for that as well it will be nice having an old friend around and someone to live with :) and I really think it will help feeling homesick. I'm happy to be a part of a new chapter in her life as well.
6. Another chapter that I will be starting this year is going back to school again. Yikes! I'm really scared at the thought of going back but I chickened out last year and after a lot of thought about how I don't really have anything to show for how far I've come in my life already
I really want to not feel ashamed when people ask if I'm going to school or ask if I have a degree. Who knows I just finally find something I can see myself doing as a career and can continue my education further.
7. I'm going to be 26 this year....le sigh... but I really couldn't be happier with how my life is going. I'm the brokest I've ever been and don't have a car but I'm finally doing things that make me happy and not sacrificing my happiness for other people. It feels really good. Plus I'm very much in love and that makes everything better.
I just hope that the year brings more good fortune to me or that I make the best of what i'm given cuz really at that point you don't have any other choice.
Other things I have to look forward to this year
*Star tours opening - even if I'm not a part of opening crew I'm happy just to be a part of it opening again. I guess my interview will be next friday. I'm a little nervous.
*My baby sister is graduating 8th grade! I asked my parents to see if they can fly me up for the grad since it will just starting the summer and hard to get away from work for a full weekend.I can't believe she's going into high school already :(
*Chris and I will be seeing each other for a year this month...crazy! We didn't officially get together till 6 months later but we are still celebrating and going out to eat at the blue bayou :)
*Baseball games, plays, musicals and whatever else we feel like throwing in the,mix this year again....I'm hoping Vegas in August for my birthday again
Cheers <3
