"Double Parade"

I can tell I’m so ready to be done with the internship when I continually forget to blog. What do experts say; it takes a month to develop a habit and only a few days to break it? Well, I have sure as heck broken it.
The past couple of days, the “Myers” family has been down here, and they’ve been kind enough to let me rain on their parade a little bit. Even though I’ll be heading home in a week (ahhh!), it’s so good to see them. Today we ran to Company D, and got them all hooked up! After that, they headed back their house to chill and I ran to Wal-Mart. I got the bare essentials and then flew home.
I spent the late afternoon just chilling before my double parade shift tonight. Since I did the same thing last night, I’ll just recount tonight’s experience. There weren’t any differences. I’m sure you all know this routine as well as I do now. I got into work around 7 and got my face all sprayed and painted up. Then I headed up to step down. Rather than being fork lifted into my float, I was able to just climb up. Both parades were real solid. You know it’s gonna be a good crowd when you hear them chanting “Mickey! Mickey! Mickey!” before hand. Multiple times out on route, I was reminded why I accepted this internship. Something as simply as blowing a kiss can completely change a kid’s day! That’s the best part about my job!
After the parades, I forced Jessica to hang out with me ☺ (since our schedules aren’t really all that cohesive right now, we haven’t had a lot of hang out time). We went to Taco Bell and she introduced me to the new Volcano tacos. My goodness…kudos to TB; they made some spicy tacos! You should give ‘em a whirl! Then we went back to her apartment and just kind of chilled. I’m gonna miss this down time with Jess once I leave.
