Last visit home!

YAY, an update less than a month after the previous one! I know, it's amazing, right?

Well, anyway, I thought I should update ya'll on my last visit home. I left Thursday morning and got back to Orlando on Saturday night. It was SUCH a fun trip! On Thursday, I pretty much slept all afternoon after Dad picked me up from the airport. Then I got up and started getting ready for the big night!! Alysia, Mrs. O'Neill, Emma, and Anna came over around 8:30, and we all watched Twilight. Then Emma and Anna left to go to Frazier, and Mom, Mrs. O'Neill, Alysia, and I went to Brandywine Regal to see the midnight premier of New Moon!!!!!! Of course we were dressed up, hair, make up, the whole shebang. IT WAS AMAZING. New Moon was SO much better than Twilight (not that that's saying much, but it was still wonderful). We had a blast and didn't get home until almost 3am!

Then, on Friday, we got cheesesteaks for lunch!!! YAY!!! It was a pretty chill day, not much happened, but I got to relax a lot, which is always amazing, plus Mom and I caught up on SYTYCD! That night Mom and I went over to the O'Neill's house to watch a movie. But first, we sat around and talked about New Moon for a good long time, of course.

Saturday was relaxing and delicious. Mom, Aaron, and I went to Denny's for breakfast and Tom met us there. YUM!! Then we all went back to our house and watched The Italian Job. Yay for Minis!! Then I pretty much had to get packing to go to the airport.

All-in-all, it wasn't an on the go kind of visit, but it was very relaxing and chill, which is just what I needed before coming back here for 6 more weeks. Wow. Only 6 more weeks. Let me reiterate how amazingly fast time passes here. It still feels kind of like I just moved in, and here I am, thinking about how much work it's going to be to move out!! I can't let myself think about leaving. Just gotta focus on how amazing the time I have left will be.

ANYWAY, yesterday I didn't start work until 1:30pm, so I got to go to Metro Life Church with Ryan, Shelsy, and Amber!! I wish I could tell you how amazing the sermon was...but I didn't pay much attention. That beautiful baby is quite the distraction. I sat out in the lobby playing with her for a while because she was very happy, which equals very loud. It was great. Then I had to leave right from there to go to work. I worked until 7:30, because Animal Kingdom is now open until 8, but all of the animals go to bed at 6, so trains closes at 5:50, but keeps running until about 6:30 (to get guests back from Rafiki's Planet Watch). Confusing, right? Anyway, it was pretty cool to drive the train and put it away (back in the roundhouse) in the dark. A little scary, but still very neat.

Well, tonight is "Roomie Night" in my apartment. We're cleaning for our 3rd inspection tomorrow morning, and then watching 27 Dresses together. Should be a fun time. But now I'm off to work. Peace, ya'll.

World's Worst Blogger, Checking In.

Yep, I know it. I'm a HORRIBLE blogger. Sigh. BUT I will do my best in the 20 minutes I have before I must leave for work to fill you all in on what's happened over the last month.

Let's break it down. I've been working a LOT as always, Halloween was a nice, quiet affair. My fellow Trains CP's and I went out to eat (I was, of course, the only one in costume).

Then, on November 4th-6th, I went home for auditions at KU, I got called back for both shows, and......I GOT CAST!!!!!! I'm cast as Maria in The School for Scandal!! I can't wait to get back and start rehearsing.

Also, "Grapes", our roommate, moved out. No more news on that point.

Last Wednesday, Ryan, Shelsy, Amber, Haley and I went to Sea World! We had so much fun. Amber is the most adorable thing ever to grace this planet. Seriously. I can't even handle how beautiful, cute, sweet, angelic, and PERFECT she is!! Even when she's crying, she's the best thing ever. She loved watching the fish, sharks, sting rays, jellyfish, and everything else. Haley and I went on Manta, Kraken, Journey into Atlantis, and we also watched a few shows with Ryan and Shelsy. All in all, we had a blast, and I can't wait to go again!

This past weekent, I went home again for Melissa and Leo's wedding!! It was lovely. Missy looked gorgeous and the wedding was really sweet. I'm so glad I could be there.

Yesterday, we got a new roommate!! Her name is Laura, which is going to be quite difficult, as we already have a Laura in this apartment. So, Laura #1 is going to be Lola and Laura #2 can be Laura. AHH. But she seems pretty nice. I only got to talk to her for about 20 minutes last night, before I left to go to the Contemporary Resort. I babysat for Chris and Angela Payson's two boys for a few hours last night so that Chris and Angela could have a night out alone in Disney. It was fun, and I got a good bit of reading done!

ALSO, I bought a new camera a few weeks ago, so I've been taking lots of pictures. I will VERY shortly be putting all of those pictures on a Picasa Web album so everyone can see them. But for those of you who have facebook, they're already on my facebook. One of these days I'll make all my roommates pose for pictures so you can see them all!

Well, this week I'll be flying home yet again on Thursday morning to spend a few days just chilling out at home. I'll also, conveniently, be home for the New Moon premier!!! WOOHOO! Ahem. Anyway. That's all for now. World's Worst Blogger, signing off!!
