Tuesday
very slowly catching up
Tired I am. Long days at Disney. Training is long and much to remember. Interesting people, strange people, people who are sadly without God or a real reason to exsist. I sound very down. I'm really not. Some of the training has actually been fun. Some of the people are fun to be around. The landscaping out there is really pretty. Lots of wildlife. I mean actual animals.

Thursday
Slowly catching up
I've got a lot of catching up to do. Jesse got home last week so we've been busy. I'm training at work so I've been really busy with that also. Busy, busy, busy...
The 1st day she got here she decided the dog needed a makeover and painted her nails.
The dog was just so happy to have Jesse home - she very patiently let her do it.
I'm sorry I was going to post more but I'm tired maybe later this evening.

One of the advantages to living in Florida getting to see and hear the space shuttle launch from your front door.

work day
Yesterday was orientation at my new job. It was, to say the least, interesting.
I got there 1/2 an hour early and the line was already down the hall waiting to get checked in. Then the nazi lady started down the line. "Sir, tuck your shirt in, all men must have their shirts tucked in. Excuse me sir, your sideburns are unacceptable, do you want to come back another day? Or I can give you a razor and you can shave them now. Mam, could you step out of the line? You can't wear open shoes, strappy sandals, do you have any other shoes with you? In your car? No? Then you'll have to come back another day." Wooooo, strict. Lucky for strappy sandal lady I had another pair of shoes in my car and loaned them to her. It's a long drive out there.
When we got in the room for orientation. I sat at a table with one other person. I was looking for the 2 ladies I'd met earlier and while doing so 3 men sat down at the table so I was the only woman, uncomfortable, at first.
I can tell you a lot about them but I'll make it brief. I always try to make whatever time I have as interesting as possible. Let's see - one just finished school and picked up and moved down here because he's always wanted to work at DW. He plays sax and sings and he was very sweet and very pretty. The other kid was only 18 and 1/2 way thru chef school and going to work as one now, very focused, wish I'd been more like that when I was young. One of the men is a teacher of ESE kids. I give him credit, or hats off to him, or whatever you say, it has to be an extremely hard job plus he has 4 kids of his own. Last but not least the oldest man does voice commercials for the Republican National Committee and loves to smoke and apparently nap. Interesting group.
It was a long day and at the end we were sent with someone from the area we will be working in (bus driver). We were given a map to go get our uniforms. Some of those bus drivers may have a hard time since they got lost trying to find the place. I will just be doing a lot of praying. (No, I didn't get lost but saying they did makes me feel guilty and I don't want to mess up because I said something about someone else)
That's all I have to say for now..... oh but here's a picture of Corey's ring and they set the date for November 10th. Excited mommy!!!

Sunday
Sunday I got to see my Aunt, Uncle, Cousins and Julie's daughter who I haven't seen in a long time. It was really nice. What is my cousin's daughter Taylor to me? I always get confused when it goes to 2nd's and 3rd's.
Playing pool. Whitney, Aunt Sue and Taylor, and you can see Stu and mom and Julie with the pretty red hair in one pic.

Painting
I decided while I'm off to do some painting. Wow, out of practice, hard to do.
I find it helps to figure out what needs to be fixed when I put it on the computer.
The left side shows whats in the picture better the right side shows more of the true colors but the flash washed out some of the painting.

Friday Fun
Today I got to spend with Tricia. We went to my favorite Panera Bread in Heathrow/Lake Mary. The view is so pretty and the weather today was so nice!Then we went to see Corey at work. Nice store. Corey's been there 1 and a half weeks and is their number 1 salesperson already.
Then we went to a shopping plaza I've never been to with a World Bazaar(?) I think that was the store, neat! And other stores, more than I've been to in awhile it was fun not having to watch the clock. Then subs from Publix and home. Fun day, thanks Tricia!

The reflection in Tricia's cool purse.
Tricia, and I'm sorry I caught you chewing, but I thought the picture was good still..

Family fun
Yesterday we went to Mom and Dad's. My brother Terry, sister-n-law Donna and their boys Eric, Kevin, Brian, David, and Christopher are here from New Mexico visiting. We had a nice time.
Eric (spiderman) and Brian (pirate Jack Sparrow) like to act. The other boys I didn't get pictures of (boy do I feel terrible) but my brother Stuart got some I will post later.
Donna thought we should put on music while doing the dishes and dance. That was a blast. Me, mom and Donna doing the twist, the pony, and whatever other hip jerking dances we could think of in the kitchen. In a very short time all the men were at the door watching. So...shaking that thang makes them come running, funny.
We went for a walk too. All around fun time!!!

Sunday morning planning
I have 8 days off starting Wed. It takes a special cup, a special pen, brown sugar toast, and being outside to plan for my 8 days off - woohoo!
Chuck comes in while I'm writing this and starts talking. I, having some male tendencies, ignore him. He says, "Why aren't you talking to me?" I turn and say, "what do you want to talk about?" He clams up, like I've hurt his feelings and starts walking away. I grab his shirt trying to get his attention, forgetting I'm in a rolling chair and get rolled to the livingroom. Never did find out what he wanted.

7 random facts/habits - Tricia tagged me
Here are the rules: Each player starts with 7 random facts/habits about themselves. People who are tagged need to write on their own blog about their seven things, as well as these rules. You need to choose 7 people to get tagged and list their names. Don’t forget to leave them a comment telling them that they have been tagged and to read your blog!
1. Yesterday was my 25th wedding anniversary. We didn't do anything special but it was a very special day. I am blessed and proud to be married to such a wonderful man. Thank you Chuck for 25 wonderful years.
2. We've moved 8 times since we've been married never venturing out of the Orlando, Sanford, Oviedo areas. I moved 8 times as a kid, TX, AK, Alabama, SC, FL, Idaho, and back to FL.
3. I am and have been an artist as long as I can remember. I am and always have been afraid to say I am an artist.
4. I like to sing. I've been married 25 years and Chuck's never heard me sing.
5. I like to drive. I like to travel and go places I've never been.
6. I love to take pictures. When I look at most things I think, "good picture"?
7. Couldn't think of any habits except I can be messy and unorganized which is so frustrating because I used to be so neat and extremely (to the point of OCD) organized.
I'm not tagging anyone in particular besides Corey and Jesse. If you read this your tagged.

Happy Mother's Day
We had a nice lunch at my brother Stuart's. Corey surprised me with something special (later). Jesse called without being reminded and told me she loved me. I miss her! It was a very good blessed day.
For my mom:
My mom was the best mom growing up - all the kids were jealous.
She liked to play with us and make life fun. She could sing (still can) better than most country singers. She loved us and we knew it and of course she still does. Thanks mom for teaching us the most important things in life, relationship with God, relationships with friends and family and enjoying time with them. Thanks for being the best mom ever. I love you!!
My mom:
Chuck's mom. Love you too!
My brother and sister (twins). Stu and Trish.
Corey and Me. She gave me the best present ever. She surprised me by playing piano, singing, and directing the choir in church this morning. I had no idea she could direct. Wow!! She looked like such a beautiful lady. I guess it's the first time I saw my baby as an adult. I cried.
Dad. I almost beat you at cards.
