Remember when I said all my Christmas activities were over?

I lied.

Today we're having Christmas with my stepsiblings who were on a cruise during actual Christmas. My Christmas will officially end later on today. Ha. It's been a good 18 days of Christmas.

This means that starting at the end of this blog post I'll be cleaning my room (trying to pack with a messy room is a nightmare), having Christmas lunch with the fam, and then going to Walmart with my mother to get the final things for the CP. I only need a loofah (still!), storage bins, and bed risers. Target told me online that they had bed risers, but they LIED. I could not find them anywhere in the store and neither could the very nice employee I asked. Oh, well. You can't always win. Ha. 

Tuesday or Wednesday I'm going to the DMV to get my license replaced before I leave because it has a giant crack down the middle of it. It's still in one piece, but it's split pretty badly. I don't know if this affects the validity of it as a form of ID so I'm going to get it replaced just in case. Plus, updating my picture would be awesome since I'm no longer 17. 

I feel like I'm forming the the habit of writing daily pretty nicely. Sorry if the things I'm writing about are boring now. At least a lot of them are CP preparation related. I promise things will get a whole lot more interesting in a week (A WEEK!!). Until then you'll have to put up with me babbling on about going to Walmart, the DMV, and other exciting places. Just know that if you are putting up with that, I love you for it. :)

Mini-Post

Just got home from Target. If you still need/are looking for hangers they had sturdy, white, plastic ones that were $1.42 for a pack of 10. :)

Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah it's a party in the USA.

I decided I would do this fun survey that I got from Jenn. It's missing a lot of movies, especially ones from early on (The Three Caballeros anyone?) but I like it anyway. :) I took it upon myself to change the spelling so that "dalmatian" is spelled correctly. Haha. The best part is that when I say I haven't finished Ratatouille I mean it. I've seen like 15 minutes out of the middle of it. Ha. As far as straight to video sequels, I wish it had included Beauty and the Beast: The Enchanted Christmas (especially since that sequel came out before the one listed). I sound like all I'm doing is complaining. I'm not even trying to complain. I was more just pointing out things I noticed. I didn't actually have an issue with any of it. It was fun and I loved it and it made me want to watch Disney movies all day.

8 days until I leave!

Single is good.

I'm now in the SINGLE digits for days until I leave. At this time in 9 days I will be in the car and I will be very, very close to Orlando. :)

Tomorrow I'm going on a final (probably not final) shopping trip for CP items that I still need. I still have not gone to buy bins and I still need hangers, sunscreen, and a bathroom rug/cute shower curtain among other items. We could have maybe gone today but the roads are all icy and apparently everyone and their mom is getting in a car accident. 

I still need to clean, pack, get together all the papers/documents/etc. that I have to take with me, and mostly I need to start preparing myself mentally for leaving home and moving. I'm so incredibly excited to be going, to be doing something I've wanted to do for so long, to be putting my life plan from 8th grade starting here and ending in working my way up through the Disney company into motion. :) I don't know how that last one will work out or if it ever will but I'll never know if I don't try.

I can't wait to start following my dreams and I hope you have that chance (whatever it may be) soon.

It's Snowing!

Snow. Snow. Snow. None of it is sticking yet but I still have hope. It's all little flakes and flurries right now, but it's supposed to get good later. :)

Today I went grocery shopping with my mom and that's pretty much all we plan to do right now. Haha. We're both just lounging around watching wedding shows. Oh. We did at least go to Starbucks and we got stuff to make taco soup later. It's going to be a wonderful day of staying inside and eating and drinking warm things by the fire. I can't think of anything I'd rather do today.

We're going shopping on Saturday, I think, for CP things I need. It's so close. Woo!

I pretty much have nothing to say I just figured I had no reason to not update since I'm just sitting here like a bump on a log. Have a good Thursday, stay warm, and if you're at WDW already- good luck with your settling in!

Update on the snow: It's now legit snowing and sticking. Woohoo!!!

And if our God is for us, then who could ever stop us?

Hello dear friends. I feel like I haven't written in weeks even though it has only been days. I didn't take my computer to Passion and I probably wouldn't have had a spare moment to write anyway. If you want to know kind of what was going on go here and check out one of the main sessions. They won't be up for long, though. So hurry. :) Otherwise read through some of the tweets here and you can see some amazing things God did this weekend. 

On a CP note, I have 11 days until I leave, 12 days until I check in. That's under 2 weeks and that makes me nervous, excited, scared, and overjoyed. I feel like I can start to pack now without it being ridiculous. Haha. 

Dude, when I came home last night my dog just jumped in circles and wouldn't stop trying to lick me and all I could think about was if she missed me that much after 4 days how much she will miss me after 4 months. She'll probably disown me. To be like Christine (except it's a dog and not a cat) this is my sweet friend:

She kind of hates to have her picture taken. :) I tried to distract her by attacking her with my face. I sneak attacked the next one. She had her head on my feet...

(Note: Regular-sized didn't leave enough room to see the whole pictures but they're thumbnails so if you're that interested you can click them and see her precious face. Ha.)

So now the time has come to end my blog post so that I can go do laundry, dishes, and other various things. Hope you're having a great week so far!

Happy 2010!  

Hope you had (/have if you're on the west coast) a wonderful New Year's Eve and did fun things. I am not a party person but Christine, Ivy, and I watched Disney Channel, played Wii, ate a lot of food, drank sparkling grape juice/cider and turned to good old Dick Clark just in time to catch J. Lo's craziness that was somehow classified as a "performance" and watch the ball drop. They had it split screen so we also watched the peach drop. Yay for New Year's in the ATL. It's officially ONE more day until Passion now. I was downtown on the 30th helping out and it hit me how excited I am for it all to just start. :) 

This also means that I am officially 16 days away from leaving and 17 days away from check-in. Ahhhh!!!! 

Have a fabulous start to your new year! Oh. And a large thank you to you if you're following me. :) It makes me feel really happy to think that I might be helping someone now or in the future... even if it's just one of you. :)
