Soul Searching..

I had a wonderful Christmas...and I mean that! I had a great time with my family, we had a delicious dinner, I got to watch some Christmas Day basketball BUT now I'm sad. I don't want to talk about it...I just don't want to be sad anymore

It's the Little Things

Everyone gets caught up on the big things! Everyone waits for the big thing but in real life it's the little things. I have learned over the years because the gifts I remember the most weren't always bought in the store and if they were they weren't expensive! So I encourage everyone to smile at everyone they can and say thank you when it matters! I'm really trying to do this because you never know how much that matters to people.

"Do or Don't Do! There is no Try!"

I learned this little saying about a year and a half ago. And I have to say that it can be very useful. I am trying to motivate myself to do all the things that I need to be doing. Making some New Year's resolutions before the New Year. 1. Start going back to church. I never knew that leaving my church family could be so hard! I miss them...I need to find a new one but I have been shamming! 2. Get on top of Grad school and the GRE!! I think I'm just scared to go through applying and preparing to be in school again! I know that if I don't I will get antsy soon because I'm not really a person that likes to just sit there and do nothing! 3. 2 months ago I sent a letter to the first female football coach and have yet to hear anything back from her. And I know that I need to send a follow-up letter. I just haven't yet... 4. I went and bought new running shoes and workout pants in the hopes that this wold motivate me to be more diligent with my health...and to an extent i...

Wait he's not the President?

OH THAT'S RIGHT HE IS!!! Dear Media and everyone else Barack Obama IS THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES!! Get over it! It kills me that people still refer to him as Mr. Obama! Ummmm Nixon who lied to the entire country still gets the title "Former President Nixon" so why can't the current President be granted the same respect! So what you didn't vote for him...some of you might not even think he's a citizen (even though Hawaii is one of the 50 states)...and heck some of you might not like half of him. But irregardless of those things he won (there was no re-count in Florida on this one) so give him a little respect! Goodness!!

My Love

When I bought the Soloist I also picked up this book! Because right now my 2 loves are MUSIC and COLLEGE FOOTBALL!! So this book is amazing! A large part of me wants to change all the pronouns in this book! Because I'm tired of all this his this...and his that! I mean what does that mean for me? I'm not a him...it almost makes it seem that I can't lead a team...that he's the only one that can do it! I don't believe that! And I'm trying to change that....but being history in the making is difficult! I kind of don't know where to go from here!

Right place...Right Time

God sure does work in mysterious ways! I know people say this all the time and it can get kind of old...until it happens to you! I was supposed to work today but my "big sister" had to have surgery and needed someone to take care of her for most of the day until my was able to take over the reigns. At this point I'm freaking out because I hate calling off work. For most people this isn't that big a deal but to me making a commitment is a big deal...and plus Direct Loans wants their money! BUT I also didn't want my "big sister" sitting alone not able to take care of herself. I decided to call off work and stay with her. This turns out to be a good thing. While I'm with her a woman she attends church with stops by for a visit and is asking me all types of questions. We begin talking about how I just graduated from Michigan and that I was taking time off before applying to grad school. I told her I was working at Trader Joe's.....and then she offers...

How about them Cavs!?

Tonight is the homecoming of King Baby Bron Bron (that is the nickname I have given him.) I have never been a huge fan of Bron Bron...NO, I am not a hater he's a GREAT player. His game has evolved immensely since his debut in the league and he is a major threat any time he sets foot onto the court. BUT I just don't like him. I don't think that he has respect for the game and other athletes. And his little prime time show solidified my beliefs. I have my own opinions about that...but the point of this post was to offer a little suggestion to the fans of Cleveland. I can semi-accept that they're feelings have been hurt. I mean they made this man a "King." They spent thousands of dollars and endorsed this man to no end. Without the fans of Cleveland Bron Bron would just be some other player. So I get it they were hurt. But come on already...trust me I have been thoroughly entertained by all the commercials (especially Michael Jordan's response!) Honestly the ...
