massive picture post.

So these were from a long time ago. 
Better late than never?
 
 
 
 
section 1: epcot/magic kingdom at christmas
So the Magic Kingdom at Christmas is pretty amazing. I still prefer 
Halloween myself, but it's pretty cool for large amounts of tinsel and bows.
I approve.
 
 



i've decided that blurry photographs with soap bubble snow look better in highly saturated black and white.






section 2: goodbye maryland
Maybe we'll meet in another life. If my second life is to be spent in hell. Maybe I'm too harsh on you.
I made my official move to Florida. But I can't say I'm too heartbroken about losing Bel Air.
  

 
 
 



 
section 3: a week off work
sea world, disney parks, family oh my.

 





I've decided that my favorite part the studios is the streetmosphere.
remind me to show you sometime.






part 4: osborne family spectacle of dancing lights
i happen to think these are pretty amazing with proper company.

It's been so very long.

I owe a long post, but this will have to do for nowww.

I'm officially a Floridian, p.s...

Short haaiirrrr

Oh, and p.s...

I got my hair cut.

Pirates & Princess Party!!

So this weekend was amazing.  Mom, Kat and Grandy were in town aannnd I snatched Justin up from Tampa.  We went to the Pirates & Princess Party and stuffed Justin with yummy vegan food.  You wish you were there...


















And pre Pirates/Princess Night, at the grand flo:












Oh lord. Life is good.

Cinderella!

So things are going well here!  I got to go see Justin in Tampa last weekend, and that was the highlight of my.. long time. Ha.

I'm FINALLY getting into my design-groove [i.e. the designers happy place, required to be able to create work of any significance] at the Design House, and it feels nice to have my own stuff out there.  Our project load is insane, but chaos is semi-comfortable for me...  I am a college student, afterall. 

I'll be going in at 4am to help install a big project... That will be bunches of fun. =)  Again, something I'm used to as a student...!

Anyway, here are some photographs of recent happenings....



Me and Molly during our Downtown Disney shopping excursion... In the Christmas store. =)


My design team during our visit with Cinderellaaaaaa today.


Aladdin came over last month.


Silly Arabian boy. His name isn't Briana.


p.s. Molly's gorgeous.

Photo time.

Helloooo, everyone!

My goodness, how busy life is.  I've encountered a rare burst of energy this evening, so I've spent my time in correspondence and cleaning, ha!   I actually found myself Lysol-ing the bathroom countertops and do the dishes FOR FUN.  Kind of weird, I must say.  It might be just because the whole apartment thing is new, but maybe because it is 'mine' in a way?  I don't know, yet -- we'll see.  I do love slowly decorating this place, and cooking, as limited as my skills are at this point.

I went to our massive SUPER DUPER CRAZY BIG Target this evening and bought chicken breast to play with some new rubs and glazes I've been collecting... And I completely avoided the 'pre-stuffed spinach and mozarella' burgers, steaks, etc.  As tempting as they are!


Alright so photo time...


This is my sunset view from The Polynesian Resort on The Fourth of July. This one is overlooking the Wedding Pavillion, way in the distance.


And a silhouette view of The Grand Floridian.





In my opinion, Fireworks should always be viewed by a Palm Tree on the beach!



Mommom & Papa visited, so of course I shared the Muppet 3D Love. Along with my discounts...!


These are the original Muppet Vision 3D Pictures, though..

Me & Lauren (apartment-mate).


Herschell in the back, Lauren on the left & Molly (other apartment-mate) on the right.


Dana, my roommmmmate.


No photographs of the INSIDE of my apartment yet, because we're still decorating, and it's really quite sorry looking right now.... So, the outside:





All in all, things are getting better.  Send me e-mails!  Or letters.  Send me e-mails about how to send me letters!  And I'll give you my address.

Update:

I'm miserable and I want to go home.

Of course, this happens to be the same day that I came home saying 'I love my job!!' on cloud 9. So it must just be because I had to leave my mom and sister an hour ago... Arrrg. I feel horrible, like my insides are knotted up and shoved somewhere in my throat. I'm still so scared.


But today really was incredible... The 'design house' team I work with is amazing.. really. They do wonderful projects and they're a lot of fun. Etc etc, I can't say enough about them... I will however drone on in another post. For now, I have sleep to catch up on...

First things first. I move to Florida in a week. Which is pretty fantastic, I think. I also got a new car, which is amazing as well. =) It's a Ford Edge.



Her name is Lula Belle {courtesy of Miss Eleni}, and she is rather stunning.



Also quite comfortable.



And a head shot.

I also participated in Sheilas crop on Saturday that was really really FANTASTIC! I didn't get a whole lot accomplished because I was so busy chatting up the lovely scrappers around me.... I feel like a nerd, but whatever! I'm aware of the nerdiness and embracing it still.




[here we go... Stacy's going to kill me for this one!]

Baltimore, oh Baltimore!

We drove downtown yesterday to photograph and hang out for a bit... We got some lunch and visited Whole Foods to grab some snacks for the drive down to Florida. Mmm, sweet potato chips and cranberry lemonade =)

Here are some photos that capture a bit of my childhood... and recent, memories of my city...



We really have ruined our harbor.


By the trade center.


Amber and I saw Laughing Colors here once upon a time.


Beautiful.


psh, my family went to the Claddagh before you knew wth a claddagh was. =P


Helen's Garden was only good when the outrageously gay owners made 'wet' muffins. If you don't know, I can't help you. Because they no longer make them.


The Gallery always seemed like what Heaven might look like, when I was younger, ha!


Natty... Just a few blocks from where I used to live. =)


My great-grandparents old house... Up for salllle now...


Oh man, Pop took me inside this place when I was really little, and I flipped out. I wanted to live there so bad...


Mmm, weeds.
