Last time we talked, Mr. Smith, you reduced me to tears. I promise you it won't happen again

An awkward morning beats a boring night.

Nothing further, your honor.

Imagine drying dishes through a straw

Lately everyone around me has had a piss pore, piss pour, piss poor attitude. Frankly, I'm sick of it. Let's get one thing straight- life does not always go according to plan.

Move on.

Plan: v. to have a specified intention.

You can plan your life with your significant other, but you could fall in love with someone else days before your wedding. Or you could be happily married for 76 years.

You can plan a surprise party, but the secret can get out hours before the bash. Or it could be the best surprise party EVER.

You can plan your outfit for the upcoming day, but the weather could change minutes before you get dressed. Or the weather man will be reliable and you will get tons of compliments on your outfit.

You can plan the name of your unborn child, but the second he/she is born Samuel may turn into Samantha. Or you could need both names.

My point is simple. When you plan something it might not always turn out how you want it to. Don't let that change what you do. You should still plan, live, and enjoy your life.

Laugh. Hard and loud. Laughter releases a chemical called serotonin into our brains. This is often called the 'feel good' hormone because of the effect it has on our feelings. See guys, when I go into hardcore, not able to breathe, have to get up and walk out of the room laughing fits it really does put me in a better mood.

Love. With your whole heart. Let people love you. You don't have to love everyone. Some people deserve to be loved by only their mothers. Love the people that matter in your life. They might not love you back. They might not say they love you back. Don't let that change the way you feel about them.

Dance. However you want. Don't worry about who's watching. If people are watching take it as a compliment, either you are a great dancer or you are an amusing dancer. Dance fast. Dance slow. Dance like little kids. Dance like old couples. Dance like Baby and Johnny*. Dance like Sara and Derrick**. Tap. Jazz. Ballet. Hip hop. Ballroom. Dance in the club, in your bathroom, in the hallway, at work, outside.

Live. Life to the fullest. Live like tomorrow will be your last. Do things you dream of. Do things you don't think you can do. Do things that scare you. Do things that will enrich your life. Sky dive. Scuba dive. Say I love you. Plant a garden. Buy the engagement ring you've been looking at for months. Cut your hair. Wear red lipstick.

Tomorrow I'm going to take my own advice. All of it.

Today Dominique took a fortune cookie from Mike. I than proceeded to take the fortune from Dominique. It said something like:

"Do what makes you happy. Put yourself before others."

I might be making part of that up. I'm not sure if I agree with the fortune, but because of the chain of events that happened in order for me to receive that fortune I had to really think about it. Is it really a fortune at all? Was it the motto of the first owner? Did the second owner just want the cookie? Was someone trying to tell me something about how I've been living my life lately?

I believe the answer is yes. Yes to all 4 of the questions.

Ashley is going home with me for dinner tomorrow/today (it's 5:37 a.m.) I have a good feeling about it. I hope my mom doesn't make anything crazy.

First impressions are huge.

(Sorry I still haven't written your post, but when I do be ready for utter amazement.)

Goodbye to you

You have over stayed your welcome. It has been too long.

Before you came everything was calm and beautiful,

but when you were here you turned everything ugly and bitter.

In the beginning I enjoyed your company. We had some fun days together, just the two of us.

You tricked me into thinking you were better than the others.

I soon found out that you weren't any better, but actually quite possibly the worst.

One huge storm hit and chaos followed.

Everyone was in shock.

The only thing anyone could do was just sit and watch in amazement.

A few days after the storm you disappeared for a while.

I believed you were gone for good, but the others knew you would be back.

They were right.

You came back, but you didn't cause as many problems as you had in the past.

You only showed up at random times.

Early in the morning or late at night.

I've been counting down the days until it was time for you to leave.

The time has come.

I bid you adieu.

Goodbye winter.

Welcome Spring!!!!

My Family

So, it's 1:17 am. I just woke up and had a door slammed in my face by a 5 year old. Ashley isn't here. Caroline won't bring me pizza. Jessica is 10 hours away. Mimi is too busy playing would you rather. Dominique is at the Kappa house. I miss my family. Oh I'm sorry I'm so rude. Let me introduce them to you.

This is my family. Mommy, Daddy, Hannah, and Chase. Don't worry about the fact that I don't look anything like any of them. Some times that happens.

Meet my mom. I like to call her Brandi. You can just call her mom. Her favorite pass times include sitting on the couch eating Bon bons and roller hockey. OK, so not really. She's a wonderful cook and she has wonderful decorating taste. She can't sing well, but she tries. A+ for effort, Mommy. I get my sense of humor from her and once we start laughing it's really hard to get us to stop. The most important thing you need to know about my mom is she stole Lola from me and won't give me her back. I love her anyway. Actually what you should know about my mom is she is the most (insert antonym for selfish here) person you will ever meet. Despite what I might say every once in a while she's my most favorite person.

Meet Hannah. She's 5. She acts like she's 20. She attends Preschool. She's kind of nervous about kindergarden next year. She's one of my favorite people in the entire world. She loves horses and she kicks butt in My Little Pony Memory. The most important thing to know about Hannah is she is the easiest person in the world to get along with, but she's also the most stubborn.

Meet my dad. His name is Monty. If you are lucky enough to ever have a conversation with him you should just call him Monty. Don't let the picture fool you, he isn't a cowboy. He actually builds things. He really, really likes Michigan, big dogs, and my mom. I just threw that last one in there for a little twist. The most important thing to know about my dad is he doesn't say much, but when he does it's actually pretty funny.



Meet Chase. He's 7. He used to like me a lot, but these days I'm beginning to think I'm declining down the pole of Chase's Favorite People. He's in first grade. He doesn't like going to school. He'd rather stay at home with my mom, but then again who wouldn't. Give him a math problem and wait to be amazed. He got that from my dad. He loves to play video games and even though Hannah does things to make him mad he is the best brother EVER. The most important thing for you to know about Chase is he has the most contagious laugh.

Meet Lola. She is my puppy. She looks kind of pissed off in this picture, but don't be deceived. She is the nicest dog you will ever meet. She loves human contact and I am her favorite person. She doesn't really listen. Actually she doesn't listen at all. She just recently started fetching. She used to just look at the ball and not move. When I move into my apartment she's not coming with me and that makes me really sad. The most important thing that you should know about Lola is sometimes she runs away and waits on the front porch for someone to let her back in. That's how much she loves us.


*** I don't have a picture of Casey on my computer, but next time I go home I'll put one on and make a whole post dedicated to my faithful friend.

Random!!!

This is possibly the most random sign I've ever seen. In honor of my random life I've decided to put up pictures of random signs and billboards. Enjoy!

It's too bad I didn't know about this poster

when we went to visit Mimi in Miami. When Caroline

was peeing in the bushes we could have just told the police

officer that she was just a billboard.

This is out of control. I can picture creepy, old men just standing by the mirror waiting for women in skirts to walk over it.... Eeeek.




Clearly this sign says MEGA FLICKS.
Great choice of font.

This is possibly the most morbid sign I've ever seen. Clearly it's not working. Where are that little boy's parents???

Okay. What is the point of a billboard that doesn't give any information. You have no idea what it's advertising, but it makes you think. Who is she and what is she lying about?

This is by far my favorite. I wish that I could turn this sign into a poster and put it on my wall. "He can give you AIDS."

They couldn't have said, "Wouldn't you like our peanuts in your mouth right about now?"

I love this billboard. It is soooooo RANDOM!!!

Just drink your pickle wine

Tonight, despite my very soon approaching death, I've decided to go out to see Caroline in Bowling Green. Not the wisest choice, you say? I know. Caroline just wants to show her BG friends how ridic I can be. And let's be honest, I can be pretty ridiculous. Let's ReCap.

Never cease to be amazed

As I woke up today I frantically searched for my phone to text B.G. He went out last night and I knew he would have some wonderful story to tell me. I think on the campus of the University of Toledo BG is the only one who hasn't disappointed me. The smile on his face when he walked out of his door confirmed my hopes. The look was some what like this, minus cha-chi.

In Honor of our conversation I'd like to

post a little bit of a song:

She's A Go Liver

Put It Im My

She's A Go Liver

Put It In My

She's A Go Liver

Put It In My

She's A Go Liver

Put It In My

Get It Girl
