LONG TIME AGO

I haven't posted in a long time...because last time I posted, I had no online friends form the amazing Disney community. And now, I have an abundance of great acquaintances from this GENIUS social networking site!! Yayy me!!

I am going to be a part of 2 great upcoming Disney community events soon. A blogger for the upcoming WDW Facts website and in the Ear in Review podcast for the Remember the Magic podcast. I find it extremely exciting! Especially since I've always wanted to be a part of a podcast, and now I will be able to say that I was at least in one. :)

I'm not sure what else to write right now, but I will be updating this blog as much as I can from now on. I hope I get some followers. :P

Have a Magical Day everyone!!

YOU.ARE.A.SLUT.

Don't touch my baby!!

Sorry...Secret Life of the American Teenager reference from tonight's episode. But on to buisiness. And my misspelling of business was a reference to Strong Bad E-mails.

Ok. I'll stop now.

So, even though every one of my co-workers and managers at work know how much I despise the cafe in our beloved store, I am still occasionally scheduled to care for the demanding and extremely annoying area of the bookstore. People NEVER cease to amaze me there, either. At times, it's amusing. Other times, it takes every ounce of me to not crawl over the counter, pound them to the ground, pour hot coffee on their face, and be done with it.

A local Hispanic lady comes over and before she orders, even after thoroughly looking at our menu above my head, decides to ask me whether we serve cortaditos. I tell her we do not as we do not serve Cuban coffee. She proceeds to speak as if she knows more than I do about coffee, stating that it's all the same. That espresso is the same as cuban coffee. I then explain that it is not because Cuban coffee requires a plethora of sugar that Cubans need in order to be as abnoxious, rude, and loud as possible for their daily lives. Ok, I didn't add the last part obviously, but it's the truth. Not really...because I LOVE Cuba coffee. I digress--she finally gives up, but I can see she still believes she knows more than I do about MY JOB. It's amazing how people, Hispanics, locals, and tourists alike, automatically assume that any cafe or coffee shop will serve Cuban drinks like cafe con leche and friggin cortaditos.

-sigh- Alright....got that off of my chest. See? That's what this blog is for. For me to vent. Sort of.

I bought a coloring book today. It's the Disney Princesses Weddings. My co-worker and I decided we needed new ones. Yes; a 20- and 23-year-old bought some coloring books. Everyone needs to be in touch with the child in them. Otherwise, The Walt Disney Company wouldn't exist in the first place. But, I haven't colored in quite some time. SO THERE. I started coloring some of it already. I told my co-worker, Kristina, I would color a page of Ariel and Eric kissing and would give it to her. She's pretty awesome. :)

Alright, that should suffice for Kayla's tangents and ramblings for the day. Wouldn't you agree? Yeah, I thought so.

Well, hope everyone had a Magical day. Until next time..See ya real soon! :)

Sick boyfriend

I've been contemplating where I should start going to take dance classes outside of school. The classes at school are not cutting it with my weekly exercise--I personally need more than the average person I suppose. It is one of my long-term goals to get rid of this extra weight I've gained and get back into the shape I used to be the summer before my freshman year in college. Dancing is a big part of my life too, and I'm scared it will go away if I don't change something in my life. Not literally go away; I simply mean I'll lose the ability I have to move the way I used to. I cannot let that happen because then a part of me will feel incomplete. I love singing and acting, and I hope this doesn't put me in a position where people assume that I don't want to pursue the career my major focuses on. But if I want to be a triple-threat, I need to focus just as much on dancing as I do on the other 2 things required of my career path. It doesn't matter that dance has been my life since I was 3-years-old. It's in my blood, as cheesy as it sounds.

Ok, I'm done with my rambling. This will be the end of today's blog, and if you actually read it, I commend you. I don't know anyone in their right mind that would actually read my crazy thoughts. lol

Well, off to do....stuff. NOT. Til next time. See ya real soon! :)

Hum-diddle-dee-dee

I've always wanted to post a blog. I hate keeping hand-written journals. But typing is so much easier and convenient for me.

There are moments when such ludicrous things happen to me, and I feel like telling everyone about it. Or there are times when something spectacular happens and I need to share. I don't necessarily know who exactly is going to bother reading my blog, but it's fun to put it out there regardless. So I guess on with the fun?

So we're having a book drive at work. It's not that complicated really, just have a customer buy a book and it will be sent to a needy child in our local community. Book range from 2-5 dollars and it surprises me the excuses people come up with to not donate. I can understand with the economy, it can be difficult to put even 2 dollars for a good cause, but I wouldn't mind so much if people didn't give me such bullshit answers. No offense to teachers, but yours are the worst. Don't get me wrong-teachers deserve way more than they receive financially and otherwise but just put yourself in my position. A salesperson, trying to keep her job, and this book drive is somewhat important and a benefit to keeping my job. You come over to the registers, I give you 20% off of books I know you're not even going to use for your school and the children, and you won't give a dollar because you're "a teacher and that's charity enough." Seriously, that's the excuse I get from the majority. And to other non-teacher folk, it's "oh, not today." Yes...because you're going to be coming in in about 2 or 3 days JUST to purchase a book for a child. No, do it NOW if you really want to donate. Don't lie to me saying "some other day." Jeez.

Now, school is coming up and I am already growing gray hairs. Really, I love school. It really is a blessing to be there, but it is the reason why during the year I am sleep-deprived, starving or overeating, on the verge of crying, nervous, full of anxiety, etc. etc. But regardless, I'm excited for the year ahead. Though I'm not so sure about Three Penny Opera, Shakespeare and Way of the World I know will be quite the experience. If only I could finish registering for my classes for UF, all would be well.

I'm doing 'Embraceable You" for my audition. No pressure; you know, it's just been sung by the greatest singers and artist ever known. To name a few: Judy Garland, Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holiday, Lena Horne. No pressure at all.

One thing I will miss about the summer is reading. I've read so many wonderful books this summer and my list will most likely be on hiatus within the next week until next summer.

Another thing I'll miss is spending quality time with these two:

Well, until next time. See ya real soon! :)
