this weekend

So far summer has been fun, not too wild and crazy, YET, but fun for the most part. Ask me tomrrow, and i will tell you the opposite. Ha, I live for the weekends since I work 40 hours m-f, the weekends are amazing. This weekend was super fun! Friday I went camping with Ash and Grace and well we are pretty talented campers we are. Put up that tent lickity split and also started a fire. Not to mention cooked some food and totally had a wonderful time doing it! Of course copious amounts of alcohol were involved to top the night off just right. I haven’t laughed that long in a long time, sad really.  Apparently I had an accent that night as well haha I love when that happens. “Hurt durgs” will always be remembered. :P Then the next morning we felt a raindrop and decided it was time to pack up. we literally packed up the tent and cleaned up everything in a 10 minute time frame. I know it already, we rock. Decided to grab some grub at the local restaurant which was much needed after being so hung over. I hung out with Grace the rest of the night, and we went to see “what to expect when expecting”. Very funny movie, great characters and a funny plot, definitely would see it again. It was stormy though and the power went out for a good ten minutes so we missed ten minutes of the movie haha oh well. Then the rest of my weekend I just chilled and layed out and even enjoyed time in the POOL. yup, ladies and gents we got ourselves a pool, perfect for summer :) And now it’s back to the grind tomrrow, gosh I live for the weekends.

I like to blog late at night because I also realize that i tend to procrastinate sleeping, who does that? I do, because at night my mind is traveling millions of miles a second and I just can’t even fathom the thought of turning it off and getting a good night sleep. Really going to blow when 7 am rolls around and I have gotten 4 hours of sleep, eesh. So hopefully lights will be out at 1. Tomrrow is going to be a long day. I bike to work though and usually that gives me a good boost of energy to start the day off right. Also made a delicious smoothie that I will have for breakfast tomrrow. YUm.

night bloggers, keep it pg out there ;)

Today

Today I woke up deciding to start a blog about cooking. Since I enjoy it so much, I thought I would share recipes and pictures with all of you tumblr fans. HOwever, there is a problem in that i work every single week day, so It would be an every saturday kind of thing, so watch for that :)

Today is Sunday, I should be at work right now, but I no longer work weekends, what a feeling that is :) It is pretty rainy outside and my friend Ali is packing up and leaving. She moves out tomorrow. Going to really miss her, but hopefully the future will bring us together again.

Today I am going to start on my freelance work, really going to polish this up before i release it to the client. Hopefully he will like it, and hopefully I can find more freelance work. I love to make design, yes I do :)

Today is going to be a good day because I am going to make it one. 

damn.

straight.

A year later

Today is May 19th, 2012, almost a year ago was my last blog, not acceptable. i guess this year has been a little crazy. I can’t believe senior year is over and I don’t graduate until NEXT year. It’s really sad, watching people who have impacted your life just get up and leave and move on to the next chapter of their own life. Having spent 4 years with people just to say goodbye and never know when you will see them all. then again, technology these days really does make things easier. But I will miss them, miss the memories, the fun times, and the bad times, and every laugh we had and all the fun nights on the town. Just amazing how time flies. How we can only hold onto something for so long, and then it disappears. But knowing that you have met someone who has made you who you are is something you will always hold onto. In other news, this year (2012) has been rather interesting. Within three weeks I got into two car accidents, none of which were caused by me, because I was not the driver. Ladies and Gentleman, I’m sure this is no news to you, but never ever let someone else drive your car. Seriously just take the parking ticket. Trust me it is way better than having to pay $2000 for your car which was damaged by your ex driving it and accidently hitting the accelerator and not the brake. Another tip of advice, don’t let you ex drive your car. Thank God that has all passed though now and my car is all fixed and pretty, just need some plastic surgery is all :) Kind of funny, it actually kind of led to a new friendship with my ex boyfriend, so wierd how things work like that, you think I would hate him.. lol

Speaking of boys, the love of my life has been in New Zealand since January, yup, it’s a long ass time. He will be back in 40 ish days though, July can come any day now! OH boy do I miss him. I really do think every couple needs to experience some kind of long distance in their relationship. I’m not saying make your man fly across the world just to try out a long distance relationship by any means, cause it’s not easy, but I am saying spending time apart allows you to grow as a person while still being committed to another human being. It hasn’t been as bas as I thought it would be. Maybe it’s because he does everything in his power to make this easy on me, and he really has done a good job of that :) Long distance really has allowed me to evaluate myself as an individual and to focus on my strengths and to really focus on being the best I can be, because really, I have nothing to distract me right now :) I can’t wait until he comes back though. I feel as if it might be a little wierd at first, but hopefully we’ll get past that and start right where we left off. We didn’t get to celebrate our one year together, his birthday, or my birthday together, so I’m excited to do lot’s of celebrating when he get’s back. Really just excited to see him again and feel so incredibly loved that nothing else in this world matters.

A year ago, I don’t think I would have thought I would be where I am today. I now work at Big Dot of Happiness, live in a FANTASTIC house, believe I have found the love of my life, and am really focusing on my dreams. It is now summer. The school year has ended. I am working full time now but I plan on doing a LOT this summer! Jen and I have a bucket list we are going to do.  She is in Germany right now but I can’t wait until she get’s back so we can start crossing things off the list! Also, in recent news I got a FISH! He is a betta fish and I named him Sir Dimitrius Archibauld Finley aka lil d. you would think I was high when I named him but really I was just trying to think of the most random name and I just came up with this. He is quite attentive and has very pretty colors. I really like having a little friend, I wish it was a puppy, but that won’t be for a couple more years! can’t wait!

Tomorrow I need to call the landlord to see if we can get a pool for the backyard. I also need to start planting a garden and put up a clothesline. A trip to the bottoms also might be necessary! So excited to NOt work weekends! Let the Summer of 2012 Commence! :)

Michigan

Sometimes, , it is necessary to just take a break from reality and escape. Michigan is my escape. In the past couple days I’ve had some of the most delicious food, laid out and tanned on the dock, got my hair cut (thanks cuz), and got some of the greatest sleep. It’s so crazy that I’m going back home on Monday, but it has been such a short yet fun days here in Michigan. I will be back in august though, can’t wait for then. My job starts soon, and hopefully I will able to find another part-time job. I just sometimes wonder how people do. How do you pay for school, rent, food, and still have money for spending and other fun things? I just don’t get this world. I guess money isn’t that important to me, too bad it’s such a necessity to live. So life goes on. I’ve been thinking a lot about my future and it’s starting to freak my out. I feel like I’m still in high school and that nothing has changed, but really a lot has changed.. Im 22 years old, heading into my senior year of college. 5 years ago, I would not have imagined where I am today. Not at all. It’s so crazy how time can fly fly bye and pretty soon you’re old and think wow where did time go? I don’t want it go by too fast though. I need time to just stop and smell the roses. I guess michigan kind of has a way of doing that, slowing time down just so I can finally taste it. Well I’m off for a ride with the cousins. I hope this summer brings a lot of excitement and joy and opportunity! And I’m REALLY excited, in 6 days I get to see my man :)
