I got up this morning and started packing for the trip tomorrow. I had to go to work around 2. It was a pretty boring day at work. I didn't have very many princesses. I pretty much avoided the chairs as much as I could. I was kind of tired, but after work we all met up at Downtown Disney to go see 17 Again. Adam also ended up meeting us down there even though he was the only guy there. I think secretly he wanted to see the movie and I was just giving him an excuse haha. I LOVED the movie, but it could have been because of the beautiful Zac Efron, but it actually had some pretty funny parts.

An Uneventful Day
I had to drag myself out of bed around 10:45. I had every intention of getting up and getting an oil change, but needless to say that did not happen. I ended up getting up and just taking a shower and cooking some food to take to work.

All I Want For Christmas....
Work came so early this morning! I had to be there at 7:30. I started the morning filling the pink and blue nail polishes - woo hoo. Since it was sooo busy last night none of the tasks got done so we had even more work to do in the morning. I had mostly fairy tales today which is nice. I had one princess who was precious. When she walked up she said "I asked Mom for a Fairy Godmother for Christmas, but she couldn't find one." I said, "Sorry I'm late Princess!" It was too cute. She also had the best reaction of the day. It's one of those things you have to see, but it was adorable.

Walk Out
I took Ebonee's shift so I worked from 8-7:45 today. It was absolute craziness. I didn't even have the last princess and I left at 7:48. We got so behind it was ridiculous. I did pretty much all fairy tales, which is nice and thank goodness the last one was one. The mom thought she wanted the diva, but she chose the fairy tale. The managers were crazy. I would walk back to wash my hands and I would be yelled out to get back out on the floor. One actually pushed a FGIT from backstage still drying her hands to a chair. So stupid. Other then being ridiculously behind, I did have one huge bummer. I had my first walk out today. The girl was 11 and from Ontario and they were staying at the All Star Movies in 101 Dalmatians. They tipped me and then I took them to cash wrap and he stood there and started taking his wallet out so I left and washed my hands. When I came back they asked me where they went. I tried to find them outside but they were already gone :( It was weird. When I walked outside I ran into Alex and Tom, which is completely random. The whole thing is just a bummer. I don't think they didn't pay on purpose. I think they assumed it went on their hotel bill because they booked the appointment through their hotel. So hopefully there is a way the whole thing can be fixed.

Down the Rabbit Hole
I had the day off today thank goodness. Let's just say this morning was a bit rough. First, I was woken up at 8 and couldn't go back to sleep. Then Ebonee texted me around 9 and I got up and we headed to the mall. We had to find costumes for Carolyn's birthday party, which was Disney themed. Ebonee and I decided to be Anastasia and Drizella (the step-sisters from Cinderella). I really wanted some greasy food on the way in, but everywhere we stopped were still only serving breakfast. Yeah - we were up that early. We shopped around and finally found matching pink and green dresses at Forever 21. I also discovered a new store called Papaya, which I have fallen in love with, but anyway. We then went to Claire's to buy huge jewelry, but could only find necklaces. Ebonee had to go to work at 1 so we went back to Patterson.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!!
I got up this morning and went to Magic Kingdom with Alana and Ebonee. We met the Fairy Godmother and then went into the boutique so I could get a Happy Birthday button and Ebonee and Alana got I'm Celebrating buttons. We hung out for a bit, but then went and tried to see the step sisters and step mother because Brenna was friends with Drizella. They were late for their set so we went to MiSiCi and shook our tail feathers. There was a little girl across the street from us who wasn't even watching the parade. She was watching us and thought that were the funniest thing ever. She was adorable. The early morning MiSiCi is better because there are less people or at least it felt that way. After that, we ran back to try and meet them, but they had already closed their meet and greet line. So we sat and watched. Watching the Tremanes is entertaining. At one point, this little girl thought that they didn't sign her book, when they had just signed on the same page. Drizella said look we are right there and I am first. That is when Anastasia looked out into the audience and said "First is the worst and Second is the best and third is the one with the harry chest, but I think Mother shaves it." We all died laughing. She was hilarious. I finally had to leave and go to work.

Peach and Brown
I had to work from 8-7:45 today - so it was a long day. I did have my first black princess so that was interesting. Luckily, her mom was really cool and kind of helped my get her ponytail smooth. Also, the weather turned bad and we had a tornado watch all day. I think it was reported they had some tornadoes over at Universal, but we just had strong winds. It amazes me because people think that because they are in Disney World that nothing bad can happen even if there are tornadoes. Ebonee and I buddied up on a British Princess and she was the cutest thing ever. When Ebonee finished her hair the little girl gave her a drawing that she had made on the plane on the way over. It was the cutest thing. Ebonee was super excited. Then there was our last princess. Her mom is a cast member and works for ABC New York. They lived in Brooklyn. This little girl was terrible. She was throwing a hissy fit because she didn't want her mom to take pictures of her during the transformation. So I did some covert operations and secretly set up the mom's video camera on a ledge so that it caught the whole transformation. I finally got her calmed down while Ebonee was doing her hair. Ebonee is a better entertainer then I am so I switched places with her. This is where it gets interesting. Ebonee was telling the princess how me and her were best friends. That is when this little girl shocked us all. She looked at Ebonee and said "But how can a peach and a brown be best friends?" We were all shocked. We didn't know what to say. Ebonee then just called Sam over, who had no idea what just happened. Ebonee wanted to see what the girl would say. It truely shocked me. The mom was like "Did she just say what I think she said?" Yep mom she did and it is all on your video camera that I set up. I mean she had to learn that somewhere and it is most likely from home, which is sad. I did that little girl's hair as fast as I could and got out of there.
