Finding myself...

You know the expression...

"College is for finding yourself...who you are... BLAH BLAH BLAH!"

Well, finding myself ... not so EZ...

So far I've figured out that...

1. I wanted to save the environment... It's hard to save the environment when you are only one person. And I kinda don't really care anymore... The economy is so bad, that my environmental mindset has become economical... IE--> Yeah, I drive a Honda...but not to save the environment, to save my WALLET!
2. I learned how to eat good stuff... The downfall is that I live in a +/-300 sq ft basement and don't have my own kitchen... therefore, I don't cook all that often... someone buy me a kitchen for my basement LOL
3. I found out that going to school for 16 years straight kinda blows... I only have... forever left! LESSON: TAKE A YEAR OFF BETWEEN HS AND COLLEGE!!! take your time and don't try to rush everything! You can't plan it all!
4. I realized that I still want to be a doctor... and what have I been going to school for 3 years for? to be an actuary! WTF?!
5. I realized that the first 3 years of undergrad have taught me NOTHING about being an actuary... I am in NO way prepared for the "real world"... again WTF?!
6. Oh yeah, guess what else "finding myself" has gotten me... Xanax and Zoloft... fun, huh?
7. This one is a secret... LOL
8. I want to get the F out of Michigan... the only good part is my family is here... SO, who's coming with me!?
9. I'm going to be working at MEGA for the rest of my life since I can't decide on a career path.
10. I am still an overachiever and procrastinator... not a good combination... How do you overachieve while procrastinating... go to school for 3 years for something you love, but not what you want to TRULY do...
11. I've also learned that BEER gives me hangovers... liquor on the other hand... just right... lol

I wonder how many more things I'll discover while "figuring out who I am"... Just though I'd share my soul searching with you... This has been an "adventure" of Michelle... no Mark... sorry to all that look forward to his involvement in the adventures...LOL

Party ALL night LONG!

So, I got my MRI results on Wednesday. The verdict is in, and I have a bruised bone! What? That can happen... I guess... IDK how that happened...

We have had a couple bonfires... Wednesday and Thursday night... Probably more to come... so, if you want to, come over... BYOB (I've had enough lol so I'm not buying/drinking anymore LOL) I have a few battle wounds... Damn quad and swamp... oh, and too many beers... oops!

Let me know what everyone has planned for the next week... I'm thinking about having something on Tuesday/Wednesday for Alisha's bday... How are those days for everyone? Probably a little pot luck thing... I'll find out which day as soon as I get my schedule for next week... CIAO!

Blog Makeover

Check out my blog makeover! I finally found a website that had premade layouts that actually work! I think there is a link at the top of my blog for it, if anyone else wants one.

So my car was involved in a hit and run!!! ...

...

...

...

By a deer!!

Ha! So I have pictures on my camera, but I don't know what I did with it... So, until I find it, I'll let you use your imagination... lol

The body shop estimates $3200+ in damages and will take a week and a half to fix.... BUT we get a FREE loaner! How awesome is that!? LOL...

Ummm... so I haven't gotten my results back on the MRI yet... maybe another day or two... idk... I had it on Saturday and it takes 3-5 Business days for the doctor to get it... so maybe not until Friday... BLAH!

Oh yeah, Alisha is HOME! Mark and I picked her up from the airport on Sunday morning and drove to Alex's wakeboarding competition to surprise Mom. She started crying when she saw her! It was great... The best part was that my mom invited me to the competition (which started at 9AM)... and I told her 'I probably won't be awake until 11 or 12! ha! Fooled her! LOL!

Make sure you comment on the new blog! Check out the awesome Family and Friends section... It gives the title of the last post of the person and how long ago it was posted! I bet you will check my blog everyday to see when everyone else posts! lol... get to posting! I'm watching you! LOL

no results yet!

Okay, so my bone scan was inconclusive so now, I have to get an MRI. That is really all the news I have for now. The scan is next Saturday (the 14th)... so, I'll hopefully know more the 16th or something. Although, I did have a dream about having to have more testing... so, if I have another dream, I'll let you know lol... Well, I think it is time for the pond! It is awfully muggy today! CIAO!

Here are some pictures I took with my camera phone... the flowers are from mother's day from mega... and the rest were taken on this beAutiful day!

my new pond floatie! the pond is too cold to swim but just right to relax and cool off while catching some sun!

Summer Time!

Well... it isn't quite summer yet (technically), but it sure FEELS like summer here in Michigan.

Humidity, MOSQUITOES, Gardening, SWIMMING, 80* +, FLIP FLOPS
(shhhh I'm not allowed to wear them LOL)

My dad planted the garden this weekend, and Mark and I got a few more plants to put in the other gardens. We got cherry tomatoes, STEVIA, rosemary, basil, & some other herb... I can't think of it right now... oh well

We let the dogs out to play too! Tex is my little swimmer!

WOW! I just found out my computer has the coolest program EVER! Windows Movie Maker! Enjoy my first CREATION! I played with a bunch of the different editing things so bear with me lol...
