California Here I Come!

As many of my friends know, I go to California about once or twice a year. Believe me, if I could afford it I would go triple that! Why do I go? To visit the happiest place on Earth.....DISNEYLAND! Tomorrow my family (Mom, Dad, Maria, Elijah, Kayti, and our cousin Dylan) are going to California until Tuesday morning for a nice long Labor Day weekend. Saturday we are going to just relax by the pool at our hotel in Garden Grove, CA after a 6 hour drive (6-8 because everyone likes to make those damn pit stops, if I had it my way we would just drive straight through). Sunday we check out of our first hotel around noon and go visit my cousin Brittany in Anaheim and go to the beach. We will check in to our other hotel right behind California Adventure around 4pm and then go to Medieval Times for a AWESOME dining experience. Monday is all about the parks baby - from 8am to midnight we are going to be going on rides rides and more rides! Then Tuesday we go back home to stinky Arizona. Oh and just to rub it in, the weather in California is supposed to be AMAZING - I am talking 80-70 degrees during the day here folks! I cannot wait to get the hell out of the 100+ temperatures in AZ. I will post another blog about our trip with pictures when we get back because I LOVE blogging :)

ARRGGHHHH!!!!!

WTF WTF WTF!!!!!?????? Let me clear my throat and get a few things out that have been building up. Tonight's news was the cherry topping on the ice cream sundea that is my life (third on the list). The bad is in black because it reflects my heart when all this went down. The good is in pink because I am happier.

FIRST my team at work was broken up two weeks ago and we were all split up and put on different teams with different managers. I am on a team with people who do not talk at all - but hey, at least I still have Logan, Troy, and Adam with me. Except, Troy is about to bounce the hell out of the eternal bog of stench called UOP next week.

SECOND my sister got a damn dog after I told her not too and the asshole is peeing and pooping everywhere. You can put him outside, rub his nose in it, and smack the shit out of him and the freaking dumb ass dog doesn't get it or just plain does not give a rats ass. He just looks at you like you are stupid and does it again!

THIRD, and this is the topper here.........Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince was supposed to come out November 21, 2008. The teaser trailer just came out a couple weeks ago and it is AWESOME. I literally got chills going down my back, my arm hair stood up on end, and I had a little tear of joy in my eye. Then what happens? The worst network in the world, WB, decided to push the release back a year to July 17th, 2009. Their reason? Two things....they did not have any big movies coming out next summer to bring the money in like The Dark Knight has due to the.....get this.....writers strike that happened last fall! What bull shit! Escpecially when the damn thing is already completed and in post production. I can't even remember the second reason because the first reason is gay enough. They pretty much just said a big F*** YOU to all the fans and made a horrible mistake letting everyone know that all they care about is money. Too bad for them that Transformers 2 comes out next summer and that is going to kick HP's ass! Optimus Prime rules, even against Harry Potter. Sadly the HP train has lost its steam, alure, and momentum with all the crazy bull shit the execs at WB have pulled. By the time the last movie comes out the actors who play Harry, Ron, and Hermonie will be able to play their adult parts in the last scene of book 7. Sorry but it is the truth because this is the last freaking straw. First they RUIN the movies by not following the books and then the piss off all the fans by not even promoting the movie until four months from its release date, then take it away like some sick joke.

Yeah, that's right I am pissed off about a dumb movie and ranting and raving about it. What are you going to do about it? That is right, just sit back and laugh at my expense. I would too if I were you right now. But with all bad things there are some good. These are what keep me going.

I actually really like my manager. He is more hands on then my other one and is taking more time out to sit with everyone and try to help them gain the skils necessary to at least stay afloat in the company. He has a lot to show everyone and is very encouraging and supportive. Plus he is cool with me cursing, burping, being loud and obnoxious, all the good stuff. Not to say my other manager was not a good manager because he was and I am sad that I am no longer part of his team, but he was also not as active in how well we all did and let a lot of things get way out of hand and out of control on the old team.

I also was able to complete the Twilight series with the final book, Breaking Dawn. I read the book in 26 hours and it was TOTALLY WICKED!!! I had about four moments where I could have sworn my heart stopped beating. This was my second favorite book by far in the series, following a hair away from the original Twilight. I can't wait until everyone I know is done reading it and I can actually talk about it in the open! AHHHH it is killing me to keep all my Twilight mania excitement bundled up in this short body of mine! There is only so much that 5 ft can hold!

Let me just say, I already have my TEAM EDWARD shirt to wear to the movie coming out December 12. I will be there opening night wearing my shirt proud and true and will be united by other Twilighters like myself who have fallen in love with Edward Cullen. He may be a figment of Stephenie Meyer's imagination but he is the single best thing that has come into my life in the last year. HAHA! That is pretty pathetic, but unfortunatly true. Let me ask you a question, does your werewolf sparkle? Didn't think so!

My brother Elijah started kindgergarten on Monday and I cannot believe how big he got. I am not ready for him to grow up. Next comes dances, girlfriends, sleep overs, sneaking out, lying, arguing, attitude, pimples, hair growing in weird places, voices changing......I AM NOT READY! I told him if any girls talk to him in school to push them in the dirt and run. If they don't get the hint I will have to make a stop by the school one day to set those little heffa's straight. LOL. I love him to death though and can't wait to see what kind of man he grows up to be with all us crazy ass women in his life.

And my trip to California is coming up in 2 weeks and let me just say that I cannot freaking wait to leave this horrible state called Arizona right now. I want to get as far away from my job as possible for a little bit to just breath. Disneyland is my escape. Where I can forget my worries and problems and just be a kid, take in all the crazy sights and lights and food and go to bed more exhausted then I have ever been in my life. I never get a goods night sleep like I do after spending a whole day at the park. My brother is big enough to go on the rides this year too so it will be really fun to make this an amazing experience for him. My family never got to do these things when my sisters and I were growing up because we never had the money to be able to even dream up this kind of trip, let alone go on it. It is nice that we can do this for my brother and make sure he gets what we lacked growing up :)

Okay I think I got it all out. Whew, I feel better! I am still bummed about HP but I have a plan. I am going to boycott all WB shows for the rest of the year. That means AMNT and Gossip Girl are shit out of luck. Whatever, I don't need them. I need my HP fix!!!! Good night all :)
