Waiting for the permanently warm weather

Despite the normal assumptions of weather being warm all the time in Florida, I have come to realize it's not always warm here. Warmer than home, yes, but not the warm weather I expected to encounter when I moved down here. The sun is almost always shining, standing true to this state's name - "The Sunshine State." I'll just have to be patient - the heat will be here soon enough and I'll FINALLY be able to wear shorts and tank tops :)

So, it's always eventful when my roommates and I are together. Apartment 1103 = Trouble.  Yesterday, I had a day off and when Abby came home from work (after she had already had a crummy day because, let's face it, some Disney Cast Members aren't always in that "Disney Spirit" mindset and they made her day miserable), she wanted to make some lunch. So she put in a bowl of Easy Mac (which we came to find out ain't so "easy"), and after about 60 seconds, the entire kitchen was in smoke. Tonya, Abby, and I jumped to our feet. And I must say, we work well as a team. We assessed the situation, took on a role, and worked together so we didn't burn the apartment down. Tonya ran for the front and patio doors for ventilation, Abby ran to the microwave to hit "end," and I ran for a towel to fan the smoke away from the smoke detectors. Abby was standing in front of the microwave yelling, "There are flames!!" And by stopping the microwave, the small flames dissipated (thank goodness) and burned out completely. Then we all had to run outside because we couldn't breathe in the apartment because the smoke was so extreme. Come to find out, the microwave had a wiring problem and the fire could have started at any given time when we tried to use it. It just so happened that it occurred when 3 of us were home to make sure the apartment didn't go up in flames. We got a new microwave and now our apartment smells like hardcore burnt plastic. Awesome.

Day before yesterday, the original plan was to go to Cocoa Beach for the day, but since it was a little chilly, we decided to go to the Parks instead. Oh darn, a whole day of Disney World? Yes, please! :) I bought more souvenirs, rode a bunch of rides, and spent the day with the coolest people I know. I never want to leave. 

Work today from 3-11:30. Then, hopefully meeting up with the roomies at House of Blues at Downtown Disney. What a life :) 


Miss you all!
