It is getting to be crazy.

SORRY FOR ANY AND ALL TYPOS. THERE WILL BE QUITE A FEW BECAUSE I AM WAY TOO TIRED  TO READ WHAT EVER I JUST WROTE. ALSO, THIS IS A LONG ONE. SORRY.

Ok, so i know that it has been far too long since i have posted, but i have been incredibly busy. i really dont even know how i am functioning as a human being right now!!! im not even kidding, i go go go from the moment i clock in until the moment that i clock out. the first couple of days that i was on training were a mixture of sucky and wonderful. one day i got to put on some costumes. 

I WORE CINDERELLA'S DRESS. 

not some crappy walmart knock off. 

I WORE THE ACTUAL MADE FOR DISNEY WORLD FOR A PRINCESS, CINDERELLA DRESS. 

it didnt button because i am no disney size 8, but still, it went all the way up and that is what counts. i also go to "become friends with" daisy and stitch. :) i am perfect disney height for both :) 

speaking of disney sizes: THEY ARE AWFUL. they are the cause of depression and tears. it really is not fair that you come to this place that is supposed to be so wonderful, yet they make you feel so bad about yourself. i wear a size 12 pants which isnt that bad in todays america, but a size 12 here is not even close. in one style of the shorts i had to put on a SIZE TWENTY before it would even think about buttoning comfortably. luckily they were not my only style options and i could get a size 16 in the ones i have now. the costume i have to wear is already hideous, why do you have to make me feel bad about my body by screwing up the sizers, too? oh well. there is nothing i can do but to go forth and prosper, right? 

i have not really had time to go to the parks much, but i have went a few times. i met cinderella, mickey, and a few others. i have set a goal to meet as many characters as possible while i am here and i am bound and determined to do so. i feel like i have a decent number right now :) I have made some wonderful friends so far and i am so glad of that. a lot of people got to hear me say that i was so afraid that it would be a repeat of when i was at state and didnt make any friends.

****I WOULD LIKE TO TAKE A SECOND TO SAY THAT I REALIZE NOW THAT I MADE SOME OF THE BEST FRIENDS THAT I EVER HAD WHILE I WAS THERE AND I WOULD NOT TRADE THEM FOR A SINGLE THING IN THIS WORLD, JUST AT THE TIME I WAS CLOUDED IN THE BRAIN.****

WHAT I DO:
Yes, i basically work in a laundromat. i clean the costumes all day and hardly ever is there not at least 3 of our 5 washer/dryers going. it is constant. the moment a "friend of a character" or performer brings in their costume we are taking it out of the baskets, separating them, and placing them in a washer. there are performers coming in and out from early morning until 9:45 at night so there is no time for breathing. it isn't so bad though because i get to hang out in the royal closet from time to time because that is where all of the princess gowns, prince costumes, and villains are. so let me just tell you, that is my absolute favorite place. I have only been in a few times though.  Today there was an emergency with Ariel's costume and we had to rush her a new one. I also get to build the costumes so they are ready to just step into and go. building them just means i get all the components and secure them together: pads, rings, fur, clothing, accessories. it is really fun, but some of them are crazy. the big bears have to be stepped into because they are so incredibly large. i know it sounds lame and sometimes it really is, but most of the time it is pretty great. i get to see so many people come in that just made some child's, or even adult's, dream come true and i know that i had the biggest part in that because, without me there would be no costume ready for them to put on. :)

i will try really hard to do better and keep yall updated more often, but i cant make promises! i miss everyone back home and cannot wait to see you again soon.
LOVE YOU <3
