Packing.......Oh So Much Fun!

Right...... I am sure everyone of you can hear the sarcasm!

So far I feel as though I have nothing packed. Even though I look around and see boxes of stuff!!!

Pretty much as of right now I have the majority of my DVDs that are going with me packed, my bedding, my swim stuff, my towels, and my hoodies packed. Beyond that I don't have much else done. I have some stuff put back in their original boxes but those boxes now need to be packed. lol Otherwise I will just be carrying a bunch of smaller boxes into my apartment. Which might end up being what happens. Here in a few weeks I will be able to start packing my clothes, but until then I get to feel really really unorganized and unpacked. Ugh.

I did dig out my bag of name tags that is going to go with me. Since I have a really bad habit of forgetting my name tag I have managed to acquire a few that I can use in the case of emergencies! So that is one thing that needs to be packed.

So far though I have also have been given a small stick vacuum for my apartment (because I am too lazy to go to the front desk to borrow one), bought a light that can either go in my bedroom or in the living room that has a reading lamp on it so I can just use that to read and hopefully not disturb anybody (too much), a blender that has a spigot on it so you can dispense the drink without taking the blender off of the base, a small George Foreman grill, my Mickey Mouse trash can and a small tumbler for the bathroom, my laundry hamper, and I made a really cool memo board for my bedroom. I am also bringing a toaster oven with me because I love toast and that is one thing that doesn't come with the apartment. Something else I recommend is a Brita water pitcher (or Pur) because the water in Florida has a sulfur taste to it and can be gross (especially if you are not used to it) I know I am probably missing some things that I have already picked up, but I will be posting an updated list here in the next few days, once I make a complete inventory of what I have and what I need.

But on that note I am going to stop rambling on. And I will leave you with another picture of something to look forward to in September and October at Walt Disney World. Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party. I love going to these when I can. They are so much fun, and some of the characters are dressed up in Halloween costumes. Plus it is one of the few times you get to see Snow White with all seven of the Dwarfs and one of the few times you can get pictures with the Villians.


This is the Pet Cemetery at the end of Haunted Mansion and how it looks during the Halloween parties!!!

24 days til I leave for Florida and 28 days until I check in.

Until next time,

Things to do in Florida

So not only is this going to be a blog that people can keep up with me and everything that I am doing, but my roommate (TinkerJenn) and I are going to try track down all of the Hidden Mickey's and the pressed coin machines and blog about them as we go. So it'll be a double whammy. Who knows, you might even get some vlogs out of us in the process. And of course my Travel Stitch will be with me the whole way!!

Getting close.....

I can't believe that we are down past the 40 day mark. That just means we are getting closer. :) There are about 5 weeks until I arrive for check in. Yay.

Guess that means I better get to packing! I have started to pack some stuff but its mostly stuff that will be getting moved in January when my husband joins me in Florida on a full time basis. Some of my stuff is little bit harder to pack right now because I really don't have the room to store it at this present time. I need to get my lazy butt up and go through some boxes in the garage and dump stuff out of them and that may free up some room for me to pack more stuff.

On a more random note Disney has gone to requiring us to have renters insurance. Which in all honestly I was planning on getting anyways. Thankfully mine will not be to expensive and it will cover me in Florida and my husband while he is on the road with his job. So it's killing 2 birds with 1 stone. And it takes the worry off of my mind of what do I do if something happens to my stuff. I understand that people are upset about this coming up at the last minute but whining about it isn't going to make it go away. I'd rather pay my little bit of money a month every month than something happen and I have to find a way to replace my laptop, my clothes, my digital camera, my pictures and all of my stuff out of my own pocket. Between my laptop and my camera that's close to $1500.

But I am now going to step off my soap box before people push me off of it. =)

And I am also going to get back to my attempts at packing.


Ah I cannot wait to see this again.

39 Days and counting.....

Start of the Busy

Started in on my clinicals today. Had to be at the hospital at 630am. Ugh. Too damn early. But I better get used to it. All of my Ambulance time is going to start at 630 or 730am. I got 2 of my skills done today, I have to do another day in surgery to get the other 3 and then I am cleared of Surgery time.

Next week I get to hang out in ICU for two days and then spend two days on the back of a bambulance. And Wednesday I get to go get a new Social Security card since I was stupid and accidentally laminated it. I didn't realize that you couldn't laminate it. And I need one for Disney, I have yet to figure out why, it's not like anything has changed since 2 years ago when my name changed and Disney got a copy of the card then. Who knows.

Speaking of Disney. My roommate and I have picked out what our bathroom is going to look like. Mickey Mouse. Obvious right? lol But I am excited because that means we are getting closer to moving. =)

My clinicals are going to keep me busy for the next few weeks so I won't be able to focus on waiting. Thankfully. It is just going to make packing to move a little bit harder. Oh well. I am over it. At least I already have a list to help me pack so as I start to pack I can start crossing things off the list.

But on that note, one thing to cross of my list tonight. Laundry. Or at least attempting to work on it. Have a good one folks.


One of these days I will get this damn sword out of the stone.

Beginning of Summer

Well summer school has officially started. So now I get to bust my butt to get my clinicals done in time to finish before I move to Florida. I start this Wednesday at the CRACK of dawn (630am) with my surgical rotation. Hopefully I do better than when I spent time in there in nursing school. I attempted to pass out because I got really really warm. So here's to hoping. Here's also to hoping that I get all of my skills done that I need done. Then I just need to get my ICU and bambulance time and I will be good to go.

At the same time I am going to start getting stuff ready to go for Florida. So I hafta go through stuff and pack for Florida, pack for us moving to Florida in Dec/Jan so Chris won't have to mess with it, and then get rid of stuff that I don't need. So I am going to have a busy couple of weeks coming up.

Oh man, my summer is going to be busy. Oh well. That way I cannot focus on the waiting part of the game.

I know this one is a short one. But I am falling asleep sitting here. G'night folks.

just testing a video post

Eventually I will be vlogging but I figured now would be the time to learn how to post videos.

Wish I was at Star Wars Weekends this year.

Insert witty title here.....

So I was sitting here trying to figure out what to blog about and nothing was popping up. Then I got to thinking I have to back to school on Monday. How exciting right?

Nope, not so much. I have a test waiting for me. Yay for being in Paramedic school and having the same book since day 1. That means that we can have a test at any point. Which means one greeting me at the beginning of the summer. Plus I get to start doing all of my ride time. And will pretty much be living on the back of an ambulance. Definitely good practice if I do end up finding a medic job in Florida that isn't with Disney.

Plus I have a PE class this summer. I just needed a single credit hour class to round out my schedule for the summer. So I went with PE. The way I look at it is that it will help me in the long run with my training for my 5K this fall and the half marathon next Feb.

Only 87ish more days until I am checking in at Vista Way with my roommate. (Which I am very excited that we are matched in the computer system so that is one less stress on my mind leading up to the program)

I have started looking around at the stuff that I need for the apartment, like sheets and what not. I will be ordering all of that prolly mid-July to make sure it gets here in time.

And then the beginning of August will be when it is time to start packing and get everything ready to move. And then it will be time to pack up the car, pick up my little brother and head to Florida. I cannot friggin wait.

And now that I have been rambling I am going to log off. lol I will leave you with yet another picture.
