The 5oz Foodie

Today is the birthday of a very important person in my life. She knew I was alive before anyone and felt me grow in her tummy. Mom, Happy Birthday... You have always taken care of me since I was very small and even now. I am so blessed that you are here in Florida with me. I don't know what I would do without you here. SO always remember... "She's still the Same Girl, and we need you so..." Love, peace and Happy Birthday and I love you! Musicsongbird (T)

Tomorrow starts a new chapter in my Disney life. I will officially begin my COT role. I am really looking forward to learning a lot of new things with this adventure.  When I was an area trainer a little over 4 years ago, I remember thinking, the Core Team's reputation isn't that great and maybe if I become a part of it, I can help change other's opinions of it. Now 4 years later I truly believe the team we have has made a huge difference in the park and we are respected. Now I hope I can be a good addition to our Coordinator Team and make a difference to the Area I will be supporting. I also am looking forward to learning from the wealth of knowledge within our trailer.  Love, peace and a new chapter... Musicsongbird

What an incredible day of imagination and magic... Mom, BFF and I went to Mickey's Not So Scary this evening and had such a fun time. BFF created his own costume and went as a toy soldier. It was incredible. When he came out to the car he looked like he had just stepped out onto the Disney parade route on Christmas. I know he acts like he knows he is talented but sometimes I don't think he truly believes it for himself. Mom was super cute in her Halloween shirt, vest, socks and bat headband. This year we spiked out her hair and sprayed it orange!!!! We also pimped out her scooter with a Witch Parking only sign. When we got off the Dumbo ride a little girl was reading the sign to Mom and told her how funny it was. For my costume I was at a loss... I didn't have a clue in the world what I would go as and suddenly true life rang true in my costume. BFF and I went to Goodwill today and I found a black t-shirt for just 75 cents. So when I got home after getting Mom's sco...

What a great day I had with the BFF and Mom. We have had a rough couple of months when it has come to being able to spend time together and now we are going to face a similar challenge with my new role at work; so today was just so refreshing and I am really looking forward to tomorrow as well. So very many times we spend too much time worrying about what are we going to do next and where do you want to go, I don't know where do you want to go, that when you end up somewhere that wasn't really a part of the original plan the day just gets better. We had many laughs today, despite the soreness I was feeling from my almost 5K walk this morning, Mom's battle with a cold and BFF's mild sleepiness. Even when we couldn't decide where we were going to go for dinner...We drove through a rain storm, only to do turn arounds after finally deciding to go to Tijuana Flats instead of Taco Bell and than driving right back into the storm as it headed the direction we were trave...

iiiiiiiiiii34 (kitten typed this, natural blogger) I am just having such writers block tonight. I started writing about the kittens and stuff but then even I got bored with it and I think, 270 days isn't bad, I made it through most of the year. I can just quit and that's that... But I would be letting myself down. I feel like I fall down so often, figuratively...OK and literally, that I can't give up on this. So, since I am a little stumped on the writing tonight, I will share a few sweet pics with you... So I hope you find them as sweet as I do...and may your dreams be as sweet.... Love, peace and sweet dreams... Musicsongbird

Great day back to work finally. I was telling my leaders that I was so excited to be back and one of them said that I am the only cast member she has ever met that actually wanted to be back at work before my sick day was over or my vacation for that matter. I guess it's true, that when you find something you love, like a great job, you miss it when you are away. So, I think I finally found the explanation as to why I love this job so much. The person in the world that can out it into words better than most... Yep, Mr. Rogers...How many Big Kids grew up watching Mr. Rogers Neighborhood and didn't dream about how fun it would be to meet Lady Aberlin or Mr. McFeely, or play with Daniel Stripped Tiger and Prince Tuesday or have a dance with the Purple Panda. Mr. Rogers and his friends taught us how to have fun and valuable lessons on how to treat friends, the one's we have known for years or the ones we have just met. We learned about diversity, that not everyone looks o...

I am so ready to be well again. This cold is ridiculous. I know I am supposed to rest and believe me I have done a ton of that, it's just like I feel as though I haven't gotten anything done. I know that is the idea. Thank you to my mom for all of the great things you have done to help me feel better. You are the best mom ever. Being trapped at home doesn't enlighten me to much to write, I am just plain tired. So to my readers I am sorry. Hopefully once I am back to the daily grind I will have much more insightful things to share. Love, peace and pass the kleenex please... Musicsongbird
