Hi girls! I'm at disneyland, I love it here! Not as good as fl...but better than I thought it would be! Tim would LOVE the buzz ride here, its totally different than the disneyworld one. I saw captain eo yesterday...it was weird. Lol! But cool to see since I didn't see it when it used to be around. My room at the hyatt is nice and I have a view if the mountains!

I'm eating at the napa rose tonight...I hear its good!

Karen, ill be sure to look out for garys golf next time I'm in fl, lol! I would probably hurt someone if I ever try real golf vs mini. Did you guys see that there is going to be a mini golf course on the dream?

Karen I have to check out the webcam, I haven't seen it in a couple weeks...sounds like they have made some progress!

Talk to you ladies later!

Only a few more days til my birthday that means im closer to my VACATION!!!!!!!!!! Its sad i think im more excited about the vacation than my birthday 7 days away from work

I'm going to see Alice in Wonderland on monday for my birthday I hope its good.

 

[karentan]

happy birthday lainey!! ​

hope you're having a good day


how's everyone's weekend been? i went up to derby to meet with some of my college flatmates, havent seen them in about a year and a half, and it was nice to see them again, but (and i really dont mean this to sound horrible) i realised that we havent got a huge amount in common anymore. its been about 9 years since we graduated, and i've probably seen them no more than about 5/6 times since. for some reason i kept thinking "i should be at work right now", actually missed being at work (what the hell's with that??!!), and was a bit bored to be honest. part of me thinks it was nice to see them again, but the other half thinks that it cost me about $100 to go up there. i realise that probably makes me sound like an absolute b*tch but i didnt enjoy it all that much.
but back at home now, back to my own bed, and back at work, so back to the normality. i've been trying to figure out the best way to get into/out of london for my Muse gig in september. normally it wouldnt be a problem getting the train and the subway in, but i've gotta try and get out of the gig and on to the subway at the same time as about 90,000 other people (its a huge venue), and across london in time to get the last train home. i think i need to have a word with the other people i'm going with and see what they think.

THANK YOU KAREN!!! I had a great day with my mom and Alice in Wonderland was really good my mom even liked it
But now i have to get up at 5 to go to work tomorrow but then again im only there til 12 so it is a pretty short day for me and then i have the rest of the day off. I hope every one had a great weekend mine was pretty good but my back is killing me i tried to pick up a pretty heavy box at work by myself and i think i pulled a muscle but it should be ok. I will talk to y'all later.

Hope you had a great birthday Lainey!

I had a 3 day weekend. I didn't do a whole lot really. Saw Alice in Wonderland. It was ok. I was expecting it to be better so I felt a little let down. Johnny Depp was brilliant though, as always. Last night I went out with a couple of my friends to a local bar that two of the NY Rangers were going to be at. They wanted like $45 for an autograph! So I didn't see them lol. Just sat in the bar, ate, and had a few drinks. The one guy is only 19 so I was like 'send him out, we'll buy him a drink.' LOL. Still fun though.

I'm in a mood today. Not happy being back at work.

 

[karentan]

i've had a rubbish day at work today too. the dog jumped into the ditch in the park 40 mins before i was due to leave for work, so had to drag him out (with mum's help) and give him a bath before i could leave for work,
work was iffy, there's been some crap going on as my manager has been off for a week and the old manager has been coming in and trying to throw his weight around all the time, so my manager was in a 2 hour meeting all afternoon, and is a bit peeved off, so its been a really sh*tty atmosphere.
and to top it all off, got back home, stuck my dinner in the microwave, went to get it out, and have just been burnt by a bit of exploding pork. (you cant make that kind of crap up!)

 

[jenny105]

I just saw your fb status about the exploding pork. Immediately, I signed on the DIS lol. Sorry you had a bad day at work. I'm not having a bad day but I just do NOT feel like being here after having 3 days off. And some crazy lady just emailed me and said OKW isn't up to her standards but could I recommend some place off property that would be? If you don't like deluxe resorts in Disney, where am I going to put you??

 

[jenny105]

Hellooooooooooooooooo?

 

[disney honeymooners]

im here just been busy with work and getting laundry done and getting the house ready for our vacation so i dont have to clean up when we get back. How has every one been?

 

[karentan]

ditto, just been busy with work.
how's everyone's week been? i've just got to get through today then i get a slightly late weekend (sunday and monday off).

i was driving home last night, and got hit from behind when i stopped to let someone through. luckily neither of us got hurt, and the other car was braking hard (it was wet, and he just skidded) so it didnt hit me that hard. as much as i moan about my car sometimes, its damn tough, its the second time someone has gone into the back of me and not made a dent. this time its slightly scratched my back fender, but not dented it or anything. but his car was a lot worse off, he had to take off his front fender as it was hanging off, and he's totally caved in the front wing of his car.

 

[jenny105]

What kind of car do you have Karen? That's crazy your car was fine and his is all screwed up!

Work has been picking up a bit more lately. The days are going by faster than usual. Summer will probably be busy, busy, busy non-stop! I'm working today, have tomorrow off, and then work Monday-Friday next week. I like having the whole weekend off better!

 

[karentan]

i've got a citroen xsara, its similar to this picture, i think this might be a newer model though, but you get the idea

its a lot more sturdy than i've been thinking it was!

i've just finished work, its been crazy busy all day, but i did all the cashing up, so got out of having to tidy a lot of the store up! now got 2 lovely days off, and back in 11am tuesday

 

[jenny105]

I hope you're enjoying your two days off! I had to work Saturday and we were busy which was surprising because it was like a monsoon outside. Sunday I did absolutely nothing but watch tv all day. I like the days where I can be a complete bum.

 

[karentan]

i totally agree, sometimes you just want to do absolutely nothing all day!
i would have thought that the crap weather would make you busier anyway, there's nothing like booking a holiday to somewhere nice and hot when its cold and raining outside.

i'm aching now, mum wanted help fixing the shed, some of the panels are rotting away (they have been for ages now, but its getting worse), so we had to take 6 planks off, and replace them. sounded like an easy job, but 3 hours later we finally finished, it took ages getting them off without braking the rest of the shed, we had to do a bit of bodging it, as some of the supports were starting to rot too, but finally done.
just rewarded myself with a glass of pepsi and a donut!
back to work tomorrow....

 

[jenny105]

It was really bad outside though. The wind was so strong, the rain was blowing sideways. But people just kept coming! Not complaining, I got quite a few bookings out of it.

That doesn't sound like fun on a day off!!! At least you're finished with it now.

 

[karentan]

hopefully that'll help with your bookings targets?
yeah happy that its all over now, get to chill out for the rest of the evening!

 

[jenny105]

Yeah, every little bit helps.

So the Disney travel agents website has been having a DCL trivia contest. You can play 5 times a day, you compete for the highest score, and 1st place is a free 4 night cruise. They give prizes to the top 200 scores and currently I'm in 129th place.

 

[karentan]

yay!! if you need any help i'd be happy to try and help!

 

[jenny105]

Thanks Karen! Today is the last day though, I'm going to try to climb higher in the standings haha. I'm about to go play, I'll update you later!

 

[disney honeymooners]

good luck Jen i hope you do great!!!
I only have to work for 3 more days and then im off for a WEEK!!!!
