One Week.

Hellooo...

I apologise for neglecting my blog yet again, but I’ve genuinely been very busy. A week today, I’ll be travelling to Orlando. I'll undoubtedly be an emotional and nervous wreck, in need of some strong tranquilisers.

Right now, I’m feeling a bit nervous, but the majority of the time it really doesn’t feel real. I think it’s because I’ve been counting down for so long and the fact that it will almost have been a year since I considered this opportunity. Time really does fly.

My biggest fear, after all the fuss I've made over the whole move, is actually not liking it. I'm also worried that my wonderful parents will be worrying too much about me. I really want to do this though.

So far, I’ve had 4 ‘leaving parties’. My first one was with the Garden Centre people. I went for a Chinese. Food wasn’t brilliant, but it was fun.

My second was last weekend.  I organised a fancy dress party. Disney themed, of course. I made the mistake of making the fancy dress aspect optional, so of course, people took advantage of that. Naming no names ;-). Nevertheless, it was a really good night. Susan had kindly offered up her house for a pre-drinks and buffet, princess style party. Oh yeah, I dressed as Minnie Mouse. Cliché, but that was kind of the idea.

The third was with the lovely library staff in Fat Cat, for some food and cocktails.  Really nice evening and I came home with some gifts and dollars, which was very kind of them.

Lastly, I went for a curry last night with some of the old GC crew. By some, I mean three, so it was very small scale and low key. It was really good fun. We then went to the Menai, where some Karaoke took place. It was way too loud, with people taking it far too seriously, but it was still funny to watch.

This week, I’ll be trying to spend as much time with my family and close friends as possible. I still need to pack too. I literally cannot think of anything worse than packing. If I could afford to employ someone to pack for me, I would. To be fair though, I’m pretty certain my mum will step in and sort it out. She usually ends up rearranging my packing when I’ve attempted it, anyway.

That’s it for now. I’m going to try and update this blog daily, this week and get my ‘Walt Disney World To Do’, ‘Florida To Do’ and ‘USA To do’ lists up.

PS. I do apologise that I’ve not posted any pictures of the parties, but I’m too lazy to transfer them from my camera.
