Long time no post!

I have a blog?! Wow, I forgot! Kind of. I guess I just haven't had an motivation or desire to make a post. I haven't known what to discuss or how to make a post without being a Debbie downer or seeming so negative. 

Thank you all so much for your kind words about the "best friend" situation. I know I didn't respond back to everyone, but it meant the world. You guys are amazing and your words helped me. I haven't spoken to her since the next day when she wanted to know if I ended up finding somewhere to stay. It's not my place to make the effort. If you think that's wrong of me you've never been stranded in Detroit at 3am in a short dress and heels. 

So, let's see what have I been up to? Work, school, dealing with life and trying to have as much fun as possible. I wish there were more hours in a day. I feel like I never have time to get things done and I feel like I don't have enough time to go out. When I do get extra time I'm so tired that I just want to lay around. 

Saturday LBZ & I went to the Goo Goo Dolls & Matchbox 20 concert. I had a good time except when I dropped my phone, looked at it and saw this....


A HUGE crack and then at the top a chunk of glass is missing. Awesome. I was so upset. But, the good news is that I have insurance that will cover it. I just have to make a claim with them and wait. 


Yesterday I had class 9am-5pm. It was pouring while I was in class. Theres a train track right behind my school and a train that was parked on the tracks all day. At one point it was raining so hard that I couldn't even see the train. I get out of class not looking forward to rush hour traffic. I noticed the parking lot was flooded. Then I get two stop lights before the freeway and started praying that my truck would make it through what was ahead.



I get on the freeway and instantly there was traffic. I wasn't surprised because traffic is usually heavier at that time. Then I realize I'm moving no where. It took me an hour to get 1.3 miles. I couldn't get off anywhere I was stuck. I call my mom to see if the freeway was closed or what was going on. I decide to get off at a different exit. Before I could even get there I noticed cars going up the on ramp. I could see a cop at the top of the ramp directing traffic so I figured I'd be fine. I was a few feet from it and figured I could just cut in and join the crowd. So glad I did this because they were directing everyone about a mile up the freeway to turn around and get off at that on ramp because the freeway was so flooded. 

Tomorrow is Wednesday, hump day! Sadly my Wednesdays are so long. Work 10am-5pm and then class 6pm-10pm. My professor is hilarious though so it makes the class go back quicker even though its a 4 hour Pathophysiology lecture. I write so much in that class that my hand is throbbing in pain. 

I'm spending the rest of my night studying. I'm also going to start writing up a few posts so that I don't go so long once again without a post. 

I also want to mention that I think I'm going to start selling some of my bracelets I make on my blog.


I've sold them before at my mom's salon and I'm going to put some there again. I've had some of the people who have bought them in the past contacting me about getting more made. They're stretch bracelets and all under $5. I can also make custom ones. Feel free to e-mail me and let me know your wrist size in inches and what colors you're looking for. I'll post some pictures this week on here of ones I already have made!

I guess I should get some studying done so then I can have a cocktail. Lately I've been a Bloody Mary junkie! No shame in my game. 




 Have a wonderful night!

Now or never... (QUICK UPDATE)

I wasn't lying when I said that I wanted to get back into blogging. However, life took multiple turns and I've been too busy to sit down at my computer and produce a decent blog post. It can't hurt to fill in anyone that still reads my blogs, but might not closely follow me on social media. After TWO years of being single and not being into the idea of dating anyone, I'm actually in a relationship. I know at the beginning of a relationship it's expected to be in the state that you feel like you've never been happier. The difference is, I've known my boyfriend for 11 years. When we were young, we'd always act like a couple. We never had a "title" back then no matter how many times we reconnected. Seven months ago, he finally moved back home. I was so excited to have him back in my life. Then I realized that I wasn't okay with just being his friend. After about 5 months of blowing him off and him giving up trying to hang out, I finally ex...

Sleepy Momma

I did plan on posting this previous week and the week before.. however, I've been so incredibly exhausted and busy. I guess that's a great way of putting, welcome to mom life! To be completely honest, I'm so happy with where I'm at in life right now. Yes, there are things that are difficult to deal with and I know some of those things will always be hard. For a while I wished that I could go back well over a year ago and made a different decision. I don't wish that now because I've grown so much and gained things I could never give up. My strength, my motivation and my happiness is at an all time high. It feels amazing. In other news...  I finally got a kitten! She's such a sassy girl, but she can be the most loving thing at times! When she wakes up and I'm next to her or when I pick her up, she grabs my cheeks and kisses me.  The bottom left photo is a result of a playful kitty that needs her nails trimmed. If you foll...

Thoughts from an ex-blogger..

My desire to get back to writing has been so strong lately. I can't seem to figure out if I want to blog again. At the same time, I REALLY want to blog again. I've found comfort in my privacy. This comfort has made me uncomfortable with openly sharing details of my life. However, blogging always was there to provide me with an outlet to express my thoughts, feelings and emotions. The people I was able to connect with through blogging was always an incredible bonus. I didn't want to blog when I realized that people that I don't want to be part of my life were reading my blog posts. During this time I also stopped being active on Twitter and Instagram. I felt that it was unfair to me that specific people were able to catch up on my life via social media. There are many issue I face with returning to my blog. I need to allow myself to step outside of my comfort zone of keeping my life private. I need to be okay with the fact that some people, that shouldn't be ...
