Weather: Not as sunny as it should be...yet

Mood: As happy as happy gets

You know, you don't have to do loads of stuff to be happy. Yesterday we didm't do much... Slept in, had lunch at 5 in the afternoon, went for a bit of shopping... And then we had planned to go to Hollywood Studios to see the fireworks show but for some reason it wasn't showing when it said it was, so, we ended up going to the cinema instead... To see... SCREAM 4! Same old, same old... But I just love the scream movies, they give me such a thrill. They're exactly the perfect amount of scary I can handdle without actually having a heart attack. Plus it was quite funny. You should see it. Today: Epcot. I know there aren't any super exciting rides in Epcot or anything but it's still quite fun. Walking around the world, country by country, and the food's lovely, and all the different shops and hats and ... I don't know I just think it's really fun. And then there's the test drive ride which is fun, and the lion king show... I'm in for a day of sun in the sun (if it comes out properly, it's kind'a cloudy... Still, it's very, very hot out so I'm wearing my new F21 Hello Kitty tank and my stripy shorts, and yes... trainers, with stupid socks so I don't lose half my feet on the way. You know, I've never been a huge Hello Kitty fan... I actually don't even like her very much, she's a weird cat with a bow. But, this one's wearing cute heart-shaped sunglasses, so that caught my eye. Plus it's perfect for this weather, and for getting wet in the water rides if we decide to go to Magic Kingdom again after and maybe pop by Slash Mountain, and Space Mountain and then watch the fireworks again... We just can't get enough!! -Rx.

Waether: HOT, HOT, HOT!!!

Mood: Rested and happy

Ok so technically we were supposed to go to Tampa this morning, but honestly, it takes A LOT  of stamina to run around every dy from park to park in the burning sun... So by yesterday mid-day we were totally puffed out... And I had a reheated mini-breakdown... So instead of spending the hole day at Universal we came home and spend a lovely afternoon in the beach where I got a tan and we dueled over who could knot the other one off an oversized inflatable animal while not falling off and drowning... And then in the evening we went to the cinema and dinner as planned. Great day, Then today we kind'a overslept so we';re just now leaving the hose (and my bfs waiting so I really have to go) but I couldn't jsut eave my blog unattended, now could I?? No... Today we're going shoping for party essentials for my bf's neice, and shoes... So I'm weaing my blue and green stripe rumper from F21 and my mint colored shoes! Shos, here we come!!! -Rx.

PS: big S: Sorry So Short!!!

Weather: HOT!
Mood: much better

Yesterday was one of the most amazing days ever. I don't onyl love Magic Kingdom, I love it with my bf. It was so sweet how he tool pictures with me and all the Disney princesses, and how we rode on everything (except the teacups, I was in no mood for teacups) and then at night we watched the fireworks right up front by the castle... It was pretty amazing. By the end of it I was exausted and I fell asleep in the car, but it was really really a great day. It was all so romantic and magical... Nothing beats Magic Kingdom, I'll give you that... Today however, we're giving Disney a break and we're off to Universal Studios. Last time we were here my bf won me a HUMONGOUS stuffed bird which I had to leave behind because it practically took up an extra seat on the plane, but now... well now that he has a house in Orlando e can win me a HUGE price again and I can just leave it here :D Of course I don't want a giant bird this time... now I want a giant dog instead... I'll let you know how it goes tomorrow. For now, we need to get to the park. I'm wearing a tribal print skirt from Forever 21 which I bought on Saturday and a yellow tank so when we go on the Popeye water boat ride and I get all soaked up, I don't automatically enter the white, wet t-shirt contest, and of course, trainers... No Wore sandals for me, thank- you'p! Oh, and sunblock... lots and lots of sunblock... My shoulders are red enough! Sorry so short today, btw, I really gotta get going if I want my day's worth! Maybe we can go to Bubba Gump for dinner at the Universal City walk and then catch a movie... They say Water for Elepahnts s pretty good... We'll see... - Rx.

Weather: Gorgeously sunny
Mood: Wohoo!!! ... or not

Oh my God I can't walk... I am never, never, NEVER, EVER wearing those stupid sandals EVER again... Maybe just like on an evening occasion where I don't have to walk much... Ok, so those sandals I wore yesterday weren't exactly the ones I had planned to bring... They weren't my super cumfy, walking-all-day sandls. Teeny, tiny minor misunderstanding and I ended up bringing the wrong ones... And now... I CAN'T WALK!!! I have these really annoying blisters in my feet which are killing me, and that certainly bust my mood... Still, never mind, I'm in Disney and I'm going to enjoy it. Plus, we're going to Magic Kingdom today! It's my favorite park you know? For starters, it brings back loads of fond memories about my chidlhood and my parents and grandparents and ... anyway. Second, it's just all so cut and pink and magical... Oh, and btw, I seriously think Mickey is over-rated... I much rather preffer the Disney Princesses. They're much nicer than a mouse in red shorts. Still, it's not as if I hate him or anything... Anyway, I'm off to see the princesses, the wonderful princesses of Disney... la, la, la... I really should go more dresses like a princess, but the truth... I'm not n a very princessy mood. For starters it's really early because I really want to go to Target before we hit the parks and I want to spend the whoooole day at Magic Kingdom so, I haad to get up extra early... Secondly, I still have a runny nose from that cold I had last week so that doen't help my mood either... and then there's the blisters... So instead of wearing a beautiful pink dress or a really cute skirt, I'm wearing stripy denim shorts and a two-sizes too big white tank top... And trainers... With socks... Like any other tourist... Still, Disney is all tourists, I don't know why I'm so bothered to blend in... I hope my mood gets better once I see Cinderella's castle... And then tonight there's all the fireworks... hmmm... I'm feeling better already... -Rx.

Good morning people and a very happy mother's day to  my mum and all the lovely mothers out there. I hope you have a wonderful day. I know I will because I'm going to MGM Hollywood Studios today. most people think it's the lamest park of all, but it has the amazing Aerosmith rollecoster and dum dum duuum... THE HOLLYWOOD TOWER OF TERROR! - My all time favorite ride EVER!!!! I love the settings and the whole spookie hotel mood with the story and the btlers and all... I wish someone would recreate the hotel and make it a real hotel but set back in the 1920s. It would be so cool and I would totally stay there at least once a year. Yestesterday we went shopping as I told you and I went into a shop or two and bought really cute things in Forever 21 and Old navy and Hollister.... God bless the United States of America and their wonderful shops and excellent prices :) For today's adventure I'm wearing my pink maxi skirt from F21 and a black top with brown gladiator sandals. They're great for walking and very stylish!! All set and ready to go! Have a great mother's day! - Rx.

Weather: Gorgeous and Sunny
Mood: Couldn't be happier

Good morning from the sunny city of Orlando. Yesterday was a pretty good day considering apart from planes, I also hate airports... No queues what so ever, no being put in the little glass room at immigration (long story), we got the car really quickly – which btw we got to upgrade for a really good price for a small SUV so we got a Ford Escape – then we got our luggage really quickly and drove happily home. We’re staying at my bf’s now summer house in Orlando which neither of us had had the pleasure to see until yesterday and let me tell you, it’s amazing!! It’s really big and beautiful… I could definitely live here. Anyway, we went food shopping and I have to admit, I love Publix. It’s so cool and everything it so shiny and pretty. All in all it was a pretty good day. And, when I woke up today I couldn’t quite believe we were here! I’M IN ORLANDO. We have a lot of shopping to do. For starters, B (that’s what I call my bf just so you know) needs to buy a new PC. I’m on an old laptop so excuse my blog picture being as little weird in color… We also need to look at desks, and there’s this amazing one day sale at Macy’s… And anyway, I’m wearing black H&M shorts with a green tank top and my zebra print canvas, perfect for walking. I’m also taking my CH backpack with me so I can take snacks and stuff if we get hungry later. So, I hope you all enjoy your day, and I know I’ll certainly enjoy mine! Did you know I’m 306 months old today? Happy too many months to me!!! – Rx.

Weather: Couldn't tell 'ya, it's very dark out

Mood: I can't even begin to describe how happy I am

Good morning fellow readers, I hope you all had a pleasant night's sleep. I know I didn't. I was way too excited for sleeping. I woke up at 5AM sharp (and at 4AM, 3AM, 2AM...) and jumped out of bed and into the shower. There's a lot to do for a woman on the day of the trip. First of all, you have to decide what you're going to wear. This is of the upmost importance because you must travel comfortably but in style. Comfortable does NOT mean arrive at the airport in your PJs. I've learned a valuable lesson in life:  even though the saying goes “don’t judge a book by its cover,” most people often do. I mean who would you take more serious if you had to meet people all day, someone who looked like the just got out of bed and smell funny… or someone nicely groomed and pleasant to the eye? I know who I’d choose. And that’s the world for ‘ya, so always when traveling try and look nice. I’m sure if they were going to bunk someone to first class, they would definitely pick the groomed person. So, I picked out a black, very light cotton jumpsuit with my coach trainers and my denim jacket to keep warm while we actually get to Orlando (remember to freezing cold air conditioning on the plane? Remember my cold? Yeah, not good…) I usually travel with a handbag but I also end up carrying a bunch of stuff I don’t really need on the plane, just in case, so when I get to my destination, I’ve lost one of my shoulders. I recently bought, however, the cutest Carolina Herrera backpack so I’m taking that instead. Very chic and confortable. A piece of advice, you should always have a traveling trousseau. It saves time and effort. Trust me, I picked mine out about a week ago ;) Anyway, gotta run, or should I say, gotta fly? See you in Orlando!  - Rx.
