As I was driving to work I got stuck in traffic. I was only 5 miles away from work but it took me an extra 45 minutes because a semi's engine had caught on fire and the entire cab was blackened! It looked intense so I wasn't so frustrated about coming into work 45 minutes late! I get into work with all sorts of paperwork put on my desk and I was NOT in a good mood. I bit a co-workers head off and ended up apologizing to him.
Once I settled into work I realized that I could chose to keep my attitude bad or change it. I chose to change it. And I'm happier because of it.
Yesterday was a blast! I went to California Adventures with my parents, sister and her two kids. I have a season pass so it didn't cost me anything but time away from work which I will have to make up on Saturday but oh well. I've been to California Adventures one time before, when my ex and I had season passes for DisneyLand they let us sneak preview California Adventures before it opened to the public. The Soaring over California ride was sold out for the entire day *for Fast Passes* and the line was 4 hours wait, so I never got to experience that ride. Yesterday after letting my niece and nephew get autographs of Lilo and Stitch we chose that as our first ride. A half an hour wait tops and it was a very cool ride! I was definitely impressed. We mainly walked around and did things for the kids but it was still fun. I experienced some fun kid shows that I normally wouldn't have gone to, like A Bug's Life 3D show, which was the best 3D I'd ever seen!
When we missed the Aladdin show we saw the Tower of Terror was actually running even though it doesn't open till May 5th. So my dad and I walked over to check it out, before I knew it I was walking through a very cool old hotel into the library where we saw the intro movie (which was the Twilight Zone show beginner whatever you call it) and then led into the 'service elevator'. My dad and I got lucky and were placed in the front row first shot! I was standing there talking to the girl next to me about the ride when I hear my sister yelling my name back in the line. The guy was cool enough to let her go with our group and people were cool enough to move around so she could be next to us. We got on the ride and it was an absolute BLAST! They even have a story behind it and you're in pitch black, then you see the ghosts, and then just stars and then you're at the top of the building and they open the elevator doors and you see outside and then they drop you! It was just incredible! It just keeps going. You think it's going to end but then it takes you back up only to drop you again! I LOVED IT! So much that I bought the hilarious picture of the three of us with huge smiles on our faces screaming at the top of our lungs! I mean I couldn't pass up proof that I was actually on the ride before it opened. ;) And I haven't gone on any scary rides with my dad ever! He never comes with me to Magic Mountain. But it was totally awesome and made my day! I will definitely recommend this ride to ANYONE!
We only stayed till about 4pm because I had a candle party that night. I got home and my party started and I ended up doing better then I did earlier this year and I even had less people there! I haven't closed my party but I will be sitting pretty. I finally got everyone out of my house at 10 and then I spent my time reading and journaling and then crashed hard by about 10:45pm.
Well sadly I think my 10 minute break is up, I'll have to write more later.
Bye
