I'm home!

I'm Home. :-)

2 more days at the Toy Box :-) :-(

I work my last shift at Toy Story on Wednesday night. I'm both :-) and :-( about it. I found out tonight that a few of my toy friends have organized a suprise* going away party for me. I'm so excited about it. Even just the thought that they would do that. :-) I love it.

I'm also getting so ready to be back in Oklahoma for a while. It was so nice the few days I got to go home earlier and I'm looking forward to that "I'm home" feeling. I'm ready to see my best friend's new apartment, eat mom's food, mess with dad's head, go play with my jeep, and all that great summer stuff I love.

:-( and :-) I just don't know what to do with myself now. 2 more days as a Toy!

*They went ahead and told me tonight so they knew for sure I didn't already have plans with my room mates.

Last Days

Its getting close to time for everyone to go home. I'm both sad and excited all at the same time. April left Thursday along with 7 CP toys who worked with me in the toy box, so it's been sad. I'm also sad about leaving in general, this has been such an amazing expierience and I will miss it. Here are some pics from some of the last few things I've done with friends here.


Roommates (plus Tracy's Boyfriend) went to Jelly Rolls a few nights ago. It's a dueling piano bar. It was so fun. They guys who were playing were really good, nice voices and some serious skills on the keys. And for anyone who is wondering let me just spell out clearly that Karen still doesn't drink. So no worries. :-)

Random pic from that last night April was with us...we stayed up late talking and giggling and all that. This is a product of too much Dr. Pepper at 3 AM. HaHaHa.

A crew of April's friends came down to drive her back to Michigan. They were a ton of fun. I hope that I'm as inclusive of my friend's friends, as they were to me. :-) I went with them to play in the parks a little before work. Good times.

Notice the shades...This is right before Tracy had to say goodbye. :-(

April's Brother Jay catching the Epoct jumping fountain water in his mouth. HaHa.Just before April tried to do the same but missed and it hit her in the forehead.

Then I headed to work where is was several CP Toy's last day. It was a sad break room.

Haley

Lots of friend who will be missed, and some who I plan to see again sometime in the near future. :-) and :-( all at the same time.

Wait

I made a video. Two days ago April and I went to watch the sunrise and she allowed me to play director. I know it's poor quality because it had to be small enough for me to upload, but other than that let me know what you think. Thanks.

CP Graduation

Today was the Graduation Party for my "crop" of CPs (College Programers). It was a ton of fun. We got completion Certificates and Mickey Hats with Tassels. It was just a picnic/hangout type party...but we had a great time. :-) I've just been in the mood to make videos now that my computer is fixed...so check it out!

Slumber Party

I had one of the most fun nights with some of my room mates last night. 1st off when I got home from work Tracy (from Arkansas) almost knocks me over at the door, "Karen, Orlando has a Sonic!!! I found a Sonic!!!" Tracy and I have mentioned before that on occasion Sonic is one of the fast food places we miss not having. The other room mates who were home, April and Olivia, are from Michigan. No sonics there. So we went out for a late night Sonic expeiriance. :-) We stayed out talking, driving around, and just hanging out for a while. Then when we got home we decided to have a slumber party. Ha! Yes, a slumber party. We drug our matresses out into the living room and everything. It was tons of fun. We we're cracking ourselves up acting like we were in Jr. High. Good times. We made a video of how dumb we were being...so I thought I'd share a little of it. Guys...I don't expect you to understand, it's a girl thing.

Chipped :-(

Went back to the Dr. today. It's official, one of the bones in my wrist has a small chip. :-( Sad day for me. I'll be in the brace until June 1, keep taking the anti-inflams and ice it occasionally. I'm not too thrilled with it, but at least I don't have to have a cast. Well at least not right now. I'll go back and have it X-rayed again in 2 weeks, as long as everything is looking ok it'll mean the brace is on for 2 more weeks and then I'll be done. If everything is NOT looking fine...I might have to get a cast. But I'm gonna be super careful and do everything I can to keep it looking good.
