Time to sit and recap life.

This month has been intense. But I've got much more to come.

The government has "ran out of money" for student loans this year. So I guess that means I'm taking a semester off. Not my choice, but there's not much I can do. 12 credit hours away, and I can't seem to finish.

But last week I had a visit from my 2 favorite little girls! Thank you, thank you, thank you once again for my gift. It is so sweet!!!

My training is in full swing. I've got 9 more days of training scheduled so far. And very few in China. Makes me sad. But a much needed break. I cannot believe I got to do my two favorite things in one week. Last week, I got to "save the world" at Hollywood Studios. Pink Spandex is in, just sayin'. I also made an appearance over at Fantasmic! for two shows. I will always consider the island my home, and I always count my blessings when I get to be there. Even if it rains... or someone in a big yellow dress whacks me in the face with a banner. Its still home. And its always a sad day to see empty mirrors because people are let go for silly reasons. (yes, its been a sad week)

Enough of the sad stuff! The fall softball season ha started, and last week the Vanilla Gorillas took a victory! (over the castle show team, muhahaa) We lost a few players this season, but picked up some pretty good people in the mix. Now, I think our team is stronger than ever and ready to take on what ever comes at us! Division champs 2 seasons in a row? I hope so. Come one come all tonight at the Wide World of Sports. 9:30pm field 25.

Last week was also Laura's bachelorette party. I took her to the airport this morning. It's time to see Xavior before they ship out to Hawaii for the next few years. It seems to be a trend around here that the best people who come and go... My roomate is leaving for Europe in a few weeks... I wonder if I could fit in her carry on?? Oh wait, I'll be over the 50lb limit.

I'm still in rut on what I should get Jessie for her wedding... You would think a bridesmaid should be better at this. But I'm at a loss. And I'm still running around before I leave for California next week. Of coarse I work straight until then and from the day I get back from Cali until the day I leave for Pittsburgh. Oh what to do!? I think I need a vacation from my vacations :)

More updates after the game!

I assume my computer must be slower than 300 other peoples' computers because unfortunatly I will not be doing the Candle Light Prossessional this year as I have in the years past. I was up (on my day off mind you) at 7:45am waiting for 8am to roll around. Of coarse I was at my computer and ready when the clock ticked 8. Now with the thousand other people who were on the HUB at that time for some reason it was running horribly slow. And so, I was not one of the first 300 people for sign up for an Alto I spot... what? 1,200 person chior and I denied within the first 12 min. Sad day.

I've been waiting. And wishing. And yet, still waiting and I don't see the light at the end of this tunnel. I just found out that my fafsa has been denied for next term, so who knows when I'll graduate now! I've lived in FL for 4 years and I am still not considered a resident. Who thinks of these qualifications?! I mean, really!

Tonights softball scrimmage was a hit! We had two hours set aside for us tonight on the cast field. I'm not too sure whats going on for this season... and now Sara and I are scouring our woredrobes for something to wear for tomorrow's audition. This part is the worst and most time consuming!! I know every girl likes to play dress up, but to feel like nothing is good enough. I mean you have to have that perfect balance between looking good and not "trying too hard". This usually means a good dress that is flattering to YOUR figure... not too tight, and not limp around the edges. Oi. I think Sara is on outfit number 7. We have this grad idea that if nothing good happens, we are going to the October audition as one of those crazy people who get done up and down for an open call. Yes, there are crazy people who show up with the hair, make-up, even home made outfits thinking they will get a fitting. Oi. Well, wish us luck!

Congrats Cally! You will be missed!

Cally, I do have to say: This opportunity was given to the perfect person. I believe you are the most kind and genuine person I have ever met. It’s the big-sister in you… it’s the party planner in you… it’s the princess in you. I know that no matter where your tour takes you, you’re gonna make the most out of everything. I am so happy for you! Please, just take it all in. Oh, and we better get up-dates along the way. You will be missed!!!

This week has been crazy already! I've been back less than a week and I have an entirely new kitchen! It is beautiful :) Sara is home from her tour. And it's nice to have a roomate again. But our wing of the house will be empty again when she leaves for her next contract; Europe! Now, What country should I go visit her in?? Paris, France?? London, England?? hmmm Maybe I should just stick to the states.

I love DCE events! I had a nice easy-smeezy special event on Sunday. Private photo-shoot with some soap star, super model wife and 3 kids... hahaha why me? Who knows! Anywho. There may be another event on Thursday. I'm going to keep my fingers crossed. But untill I hear word I'm going to continue my "plate art". Oh yes. We've (China and Norway princesses) gotten to the point where we began to make princess faces out of paper plates. *I think we could compete with some 3 yr olds :)* but they are the funniest things ever.

Sleep would be nice.

How many days until passes can be used again?! Longest month, ever.

Oh! And lets talk about NO down time... New set location = No fun (you'll see)
