free ER

at work it is corretly hard for us to make budget bc the parks close at 8:00 and no one is coming... so they are giving away ERs (early release) like candy.

so this week i left work early on Sunday and Monday even though on both of the days i went in fairly early (10 am and 845 am). on one day i only worked 4 hr and 30 min.

i realize i shouldn't do this bc i have no money but if they are going to give them away i am going to take them. bc over the summer i always wanted ERs and never got them bc they always needed you to work.

any way the conclusion to my story is that i barely get any hours now and for the next couple of weeks i will probably continue to ER which means i will have no money. (but i am 100% okay with that)

oh and here is a random pic of me, my sisters, and tinker bell.

OMG: I LOVE PITA PIT

today after the iowa game me, kassie, and monique were looking for something exciting to do. first we went to Verizon wireless store and kassie ruined two different people magical moments at the Verizon store... but that is a story for her to tell.

i think she was just soo mad about the iowa game that she had to take her anger out on someone and the lucky people at verizon were her target.

it is okay b/c i still love her and she was in a much better mood after that.

so i told kassie we should go to pita pit and she thought it was a brilliant idea. so we drove the 29.5 miles to the nearest pita pit.

and of course i took photos to remember the event. arriving at the orlando, fl pita pitthe graphics i have come to love in iowa city... notice the ucf sign (i pictured an iowa one there)
kassis being VERY excited
i was even more excited
monique didn't understand that pita pit is a quick place where you don't really ask for extras... she sat down with 2 different side sauces (i didn't even know you could do that).

she also got another sauce on the side after she started to eat it.

me enjoying the delicious pita pit

monique with her side sauces.. she seems very confused at this point. but i think she loved it!

see. monique being more excited then me. (i think it might have just been that she was away from disney, but i like to think it is bc pita pit has that power over you)

Just in case you didn't believe me....

before leaving... i have never seen a funny looking bacon face before so i needed to take a pic of it (and now that i think about it, if there is one in IC i am going to feel like an idiot)

my family rocks

So basically my family is awesome
As many of you can tell from the previous wall post my sister came to visit me in Florida… and it was awesome.

We were able to go to all four parks and back to Jacksonville for a very exciting jaguars football game. It also only rained one day out of the four they were here. (which was shocking especially after I told them that it rains everyday here a million times.)

We went to magic kingdom the first day where kinsey got her free tshirt for “spilling” something on herself. The second day we went to animal kingdom were we able to final get our first autograph in our autograph book that I thought was essential to get. We also went to epcot. The third day we went to my park (Hollywood studios) and then back to epcot and then back to studios. And on Saturday we went to Jacksonville.

So the reasons why my sisters are awesome is bc they surprised me with the best bday presents every. The first being a cupcake cake, a shirt that say “pretty much awesome”, a princess diner (which was pretty much awesome), and a shirt that says completely corn-fed (to show of my iowa pride).

It was great having them here and I am so glad that they finally understand the idea that august is Kelsey's birthday month. !!!!

There was five albums of photos we took.. they mostly just consist of photos were you can’t see the background just our pretty faces.

I am hoping that kaci will post the links for the photos for people can look at them !

Disney world was pretty amazing! My highlight was definitely having a personal tour guide, Kelsey :) She was great and gave us lots of useless information at every corner.

Kelsey pretty much spoiled me too and gave me many magical moments, since it was my first time at Disney World. The favorite of it all was this cute little pin she gave me with Tinker Bell on it that said "wish upon a star." Sadly I lost it :( I then went to Guest Relations. (I guess their job is to make sure everyone leaves DW with a smile on their face.) I told them how I lost my pin and they gave me a new one!!!! It was pretty sweet.

That's all I have now. Stay Tuned for lots of photos!!

This is my totally amazing guest post on Kelsey's blog. How excited are you? (there is a correct answer)

Because Kassie already gave the summary of our really awesome vacation, I will just tell a story. A story about BUZZZZZZ LIGHTYEAR.

We were walking into the Monster, Inc. Laughfloor and Kelsey saw one of her acquaintances (because her only friend is Monique). His name is Derrick, and he is Buzz Lightyear sometimes (which is totally awesome). Let's call him Buzz.

We bought an autograph book in the morning, and all day we didn't have a pen, so we asked Buzz if he had one that we could use. I told him that it would make our vacation magical if he gave it to us. He went to get a pen.

I continued to ask Buzz if I spilt something on my shirt and he saw it happen if he could get me a free shirt. He took his pen and walked away. I was sad.

Kelsey and I followed him. He pulled out a sheet of paper, and Kelsey proclaimed, "He is getting you a free shirt."

He then gave me a voucher for a free shirt. Then I got a shirt. Pretty awesome and MAGICALLLL:)

Buzz is cool.

The Toy Story ride was my favorite. My second favorite was Soarin'. My third favorite was Rockin' Rollercoaster.

My least favorite was The Tower of Terror followed by Expedition Everest.

We just got back from visiting Kelsey at Disney World. Kelsey was our tour guide. =) At Hollywood Studios we went and learned how to draw Tinkerbell-- that was awesome. My Tinkerbell actually looks like Tinkerbell! Kelsey had a fastpass to ride the new Toy Story ride at Hollywood studios. The ride was really cool. Those two things were the highlights of the trip for me.

In our hotel, we stayed in a Finding Nemo room, which basically means our bed spread was Nemo themed and there was a nemo themed wall paper border. To complete the Finding Nemo theme, we surprised Kelsey with a Finding Nemo cupcake cake for her birthday month.

We actually surprised Kelsey everyday (because her sisters rock!). The first day was the cake. On the second day, we had a t-shirt made for her that says "Pretty Much Awesome!". On Friday, we made reservations at a princess dining experience. Kelsey got to have pictures taken with 5 princesses. On Saturday, we gave Kelsey a t-shirt that says "Completely Corn-Fed." She is going to really miss us.

On Saturday night (tonight) we are going to go watch the Jaguars play a preseason game against Atlanta, it should be pretty much awesome.
