Reminiscing

How can one person get so attached to a patch of concrete with mechanics, actors, and wood covered in paint? I'll tell you how: they were a part of magic there. I made magic. I helped make memories for who knows how many people! That is so amazing! I brought smiles to little girls and boys faces by telling them happy birthday or showing them the toy they wanted. I brought tears to one old man's eyes for giving him a button that said that he was an Honorary Citizen of Disneyland, because he'd created magic for some other guests. I was reminded of friends and family in the personality of others. I cried when I saw Mickey as I was walking in. I sobbed when I looked down Main Street USA to Sleeping Beauty's Castle one more time tonight, as A Christmas Fantasy Holiday Parade floated down the street. Disneyland became my home. My coworkers became my friends. Mickey and Minnie and Donald and Daisy and Goofy and Pluto and Belle and Ariel and Cinderella and Rapunzel and Peter Pan and every other character became my closest friends. And Abby and Eric and kids became my family. And my best friend that I went through all this with became more my sister, and carried me through all this (I wouldn't have made it without her). And my family (yes, Rae, you included in that) stayed my rock. Looking back on these most amazing, difficult, magical, beautiful, challenging, near impossible adventure, all I can do is cry. Tears of happiness that it's over, tears of sadness that I now must move on. Tears that I will no longer be going to the Happiest Place on Earth nearly every day. But soon, perhaps, I will be back here, making dreams come true--mine and others--and Letting the Memories Begin.

Christmas

So today is Christmas, and it doesn't feel a bit like it. But that's okay. My family was at Disneyland with me this week!!! :) It was amazing. And wet. Very wet. But we went on nearly everything!! And I took some good photos! Which I'm sure you already looked at! :) Sorry I haven't posted lately, I've been exhausted beyond belief! And honestly not very positive but I'll try to post more! :)

I wish...

I wish I was one of those people who would go out into their living room and tell their roommate (who only words that you don't say in front of children are appropriate for describing!) and tell her to SHUT UP ALREADY! She's been yacking at the top of her lungs for the last three hours. And I am about to ring her fat neck. Along with fake coughing and then glaring at me because, oh I'm sorry, thanks to HER I've been sick for 3 weeks! Sorry for the complaining, but it had to be said!

I wish also that 2:30 am was here so I'd be home on my way to dreamland. For that is when I should be arriving home from work.

I wish also that I didn't have to work 2:30 this morning.

I wish I was being positive right now.

So to tell you all about my new obsession! I love, love, LOVE lampposts! I actually doodled some during church last week! :) They used to be made so beautifully! Of course now, put a wood post in the ground and stick a metal post perpendicular to that one with a lightbulb in it and there's a lampost! Soon I'll have the energy to go take photos of them and post them on here. :) Love all of you!
