Oh, Monday...

I woke up today around 3am only to realize I had been sleeping since 10pm. I fell back asleep and woke up around 5am and remembered I never set my 6:30am alarm. I get myself back to sleep, wake up a few minutes before my alarm and the first tweet I read was about the Detroit Lions training camp being open the the public today at 9:15am. The training camp is conveniently located minutes from my school. Which really isn't a good thing since I have a 9am class and I have to normally leave my house no later than 8:15am. It's Monday morning, I'm crabby already and I was sure that there would be more traffic because of all the lucky brats that were going to see Reggie Bush.

However, I never hit any traffic. I never once used a swear word, and that's rare for me while driving. I was early for class so I decided to check my e-mail to see if my professor e-mailed me back. Then I noticed an e-mail from my Wednesday night pathophysiology professor. I opened it and almost had a panic attack when I realize it wasn't an e-mail to the class, it was addressed to only me. 

"Ms. Shippe, Your hard work paid off. You showed great improvement on exam 2. Great job. I'm very happy for you."

I was so excited I wanted to cry. I've mentioned before that I struggle with ADD. I'm on medication, but still it's a struggle. I have always been an awful test taker. I can study hard, feel confident, but as soon as I get a test I feel like every question is in a foreign language. It also helps to have a really great professor. Even though sometimes I feel like my hand is going to fall off from all the notes I take during that class, it's always so entertaining. 



The rest of my day was kind of long. 4 hour lecture, but I was able to go to the first lab that was from 1:30-3:30 opposed to my lab that's 3:30-5:30. Since I didn't have a big break, I stayed at school for lunch and was able to have to girl time. 

I'm exhausted for some reason, maybe it's just Monday. Tomorrow I'm excited because I'm going with a ton of people from work & a bunch of other people to the Tiger's game and we're taking 2 party busses. The last time was a ton of fun even though we just took a party bus downtown for opening day and never actually went to the game. But, that was my first time partying on a party bus and it was a pretty sweet bus. It had a full bar, flat screens and a fireplace.





I was suppose to work Wednesday morning at 10am, but I figured that wasn't a great idea so luckily someone covered it!   

So if you follow me on Instagram or Twitter (@mandyshippe) don't think that I got confused on what day it is. It may not be the weekend, but I'm going to pretend it is.

  1. I used to work for the Lions! Training camp was the best because we could be outside all day :)

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 ...
