just a little sick. But that's what happens when you stand out in the pouring rain one night, then stand out in the freezing cold another. But I have yet to have any drastic symptoms beyond being achy and having the beginnings of a head cold.
So things that have happened since my last IHOP trip include a hair cut, another IHOP trip, Buffalo Wild Wings, Valentines day, and today's trip to Animal Kingdom.
So the hair cut was on Tuesday, and I cut all my hair off. Ok, I lied. I cut my hair to the top of my shoulders. Either way it's nice and short. It also has the ability to hold curl a bit better (although that might have something to do with the amount of dead ends the hair dresser cut off). After that I went into the locker room to do my hair all pretty and curly and ended up seeing Mary Poppins having a bad day. The poor girl was dropping everything everywhere and running into other girls. Well, I guess we can't be practically perfect all the time. As for me, after I made my hair look perfect, I went to work and about 2 hours later was rained upon. Guess where the curls went...that's right, down the drain with all the water. Although the rain was nice enough to leave all the hairspray behind...how nice.
I ended up doing two ECV runs in the rain that night. The first one I got soaked on (all the way to and from the Peter Pan ride), and the second one the person wasn't even at the Haunted Mansion when I got there. Grrrrrr.....
The night would end with all of us in strollers getting soaked in a cloud burst on our way back from the hub. We all laughed (except when people like me woke up with a soar throat the next morning).
However, ten of us ended up at IHOP that night, and let me tell you, those new shortcake pancakes are divine. I had mine smothered in cinnamon apple goop due to the Confectionery smelling like apple fritters all day. I also made a picture for our waitress on the back of my place mat, which everyone - including her- loved.
Wednesday I had off, but went to Buffalo Wild Wings that night with a few friends. I'll try again next week. Everyone complained that none of the music choices were good. It probably didn't help that it was karaoke night, and saddly not all who sounded drunk were.
Thursday was Valentines Day, where upon I opened a big old can of Martha Stuart/ my Mother on everyone and set a Valentine's table. Everyone got to wake up to a plate with a heart shaped box of chocolates and a valentine. Riley was also very sweet and got all of us princess figurines which we got to choose. I got Cinderella, and she has a skirt covered in glitter. Please disregard my moment of being four years old. Thank you.
I also had class that morning where we decided the thesis of our paper and chose positions for the paper. I have editor, and I don't want to hear any comments from the peanut gallery on that one, please.
A Pirate and Princess party was that night (and I worked it, as usual- and gave everyone valentines as was not usual), and had the privilege of standing outside directing people to stroller return in 48 degree weather. In shorts. Yes shorts, cause it was nice that afternoon, but the temperature dropped and I got hosed. Plus all my muscles and joints got cold which just made me hurt all over. I collapsed into bed immediately after I got home, and right after Shequasha's boyfriend looked at me and said I didn't look so good, was I all right.
This morning I could have told him, no I wasn't but then again I slept about 12 hours, meaning I didn't wake up till almost 1 o'clock. And I was still exhausted. But instead I made my self get up and went to Animal Kingdom for a few hours with Becca, Mariana, and this other girl who's name I sadly can't remember. Did the Dinosaurs ride (which is the not as cool equivalent to the Indiana Jones ride) and the Everest ride. Now that's a cool roller coaster. At one point in time you actually go backwards. We all then had dinner at a little Chinese place by the ride that was worth paying the $9 for. Now usually the parks give you a small amount for a not so small price, but here you got enough food to actually fill you up. I was happily amazed.
And so that was my past week in a nut shell, but now I fear my body is screaming at me to go to bed, so I think I shall do just that.
Good night all, hope your dreams are all sweet.
