More good luck!

More luck has found my way - not only did I get extremely lucky finding out that my huge project isnt due till April 21, but today I saved $115.00!!

Beginning of Febish I was pulled over by a cop who came at me like a bat out of hell. He went on to tell me that my rear driver side tail light was out, he issued me a waivable citation stating if I got it fixed within 20 days I could get it signed and that would be that. Later on I had my mom look at my light and said it wasnt out, so I got pissed and threw my ticket away... BAD idea. I was later issued a Civil Infraction ticket for defective equipment, total cost $115.00. Today was the last day I could do something before they a.) put a warrant out for my arrest b.) increased charges/fines c.) suspended my licese... im sure one or more would have happened. So I went to the 35th District Court and went to the cashiers line. I told her that I didnt know if she could help me but the officer on my ticket told me my rear light was out and it was not, I said if an officer wanted to come out to my car so I could show them I would greatly appreciate it. The lady was so nice, she smiled and said, "Don't say anything - but just go over to that gentleman and ask him to sign off on your ticket." I went over to the nice gentleman who said I looked innocent enough and signed off on my ticket. I headed back to the lady who punched some things into the computer, gave me a recepit and told me to have a great day - which I did.

I am so thrilled that I didnt have to pay such a ridiculous amount of money on something that wasnt even broken. I mean sure I could have taken care of it sooner and less painfully but alas I did not. So happy though.

I am going to head home, do some homework, get in my jammies and RELAX tonight. Have a good one!

Thank you Gods of Education

Did I catch a lucky break! Here I was sitting at the Universities library feverishly searching through copious amounts of databases for articles pretaining to Herman Melville and Sexuality...I need 16 but so far I have 9 (7 articles and 2 books) I was sitting there thinking - this just doesn't seem right... a huge anthology due before the end of the semester? Is this real? So I pull out my syllabus and the papers project notes when I come along March 24 - it's not the ANTHOLOGY that's due but the annotated bibliography which is a listing of all the articles, books etc you have come across with a short description of what it's about and I am thinking YES!! Success!! - but it get's better I go onto my school e-mail and see a message from my professor dated yesterday, I open it up and she is postponing the bibliography one week because she feels she hasnt prepared us enough for what she wants... DOUBLE SCORE! granted I am not going to abuse the time I now have free but I will continue to search for articles and I will continue to read them for tomorrow but knowing I have a lot more time than I originally anticipated is such a huge relief. I need to do well in this class, despite how much I bitch and complain about it so the fact that I was spared means a lot. THANK GOD!!

Other than that things are well. I saw I love you, Man with Mike and Tom the other night and it was HILARIOUS! this week is pretty low key just school and work per usual - on Friday though Kristin is coming back into town so her, Heather and I will probably do dinner. Yay =)

Well I wanted to share my good news with you all - looks like that nervous breakdown wont be happening tonight afterall which is always good. Till then.

Yikes! I am sooo screwed this weekend. Luckily Mike is super understanding and knows this week/end is going to be hectic. Although we are squeezing in some love time on Saturday since we have a food tasting at our receptional hall. But Friday reading like a mad women, and Sunday reading like a mad women while working on papers, etc le sigh - but I did put a break in there to see a photographer at 330 so that will be nice. Wish me luck and send me some good vibes that I finish it all! ><

Donkey on the edge.

Lately things have been super crazy. From getting engaged, to work, to school, to friends coming into town, and to now my nana going into the hospital. With all this said I just haven't had the time/energy to blog - plus I havent had anything substantial to blog about (already got that out of the way with the engagement details - still on cloud nine btw)

I am in this spot right now that is REALLY frustrating. I am 1 month away from being done with school - just one so I cant work full time which means I have little money to work with so when I have issues that come up like yesterday night on my way home from Mikes - getting a flat tire it pisses me off because its like if I was working full time I wouldnt be looking at my bank account thinking ok how am I going to swing this one? Granted I have an amazing family but when you are on the brink of crossing the threshold into being fully independent and out of their pocket - which dont get my wrong has been helpful - it's a slight buzz kill.

This week is going to be another crazy week - I am going to be in the library working on a copious amount of school work I have two research papers an anthology, studying for a test and finishing reading a book for another book report and read half of uncle toms cabin. =( Which is why all of this combined has made me a donkey on the edge...

So I guess I shouldnt waste anymore time but get started on some of this stuff- till then...

Thursday love

Even though I had pracically the WHOLE afternoon to myself to get a crap load of things done, I didn't get done as much as I wanted to... but alas im not shocked.

I did get done:

Caught up with most of laundry
Cleaned up entire room/dusted/vacuumed
Organized desk
Took a nap
Register with The Knot

What I didn't get done:

Balance checkbook
Clean out closest
Read more of Uncle Tom's cabin
Clean out car


But in between all that I watched a couple episodes of Sex and the City, had dinner with my dad, organized my new address book, and watched the new episode of Greys yay, and going to the summit to check out the hall (I cancelled on the girl, so I went because I felt really bad on bailing on satursday - no worries we are still going with our original)

Tomorrow is Friday - Yay and I plan on getting some major reading done. Till then. Goodnight

Sometimes.....

* I procrastinate almost everything - the pressure is oddly soothing.
* I bitch so much about how I hate school - but I know im going to miss it.
* I start my to-do lists with things I have already done.
* I eat more than my share of dove chocolates.
* I indulge in a salted carmel hot chocolate when I shouldn't
* I laugh when I see people cry.
* I fantisize what my life would be like if I didnt have to work or worry about money.


idea from here

Will you forgive me?

I have been an exceptionally pittiful blogger these past few weeks. I have been so busy that I haven't had time to sit down and write anything of substance. Well as you know from my below post I am engaged! Mike proposed to me Feb 28th in front of both our families, it was completely unexpected and it's suffice to say one of the greatest moments of my life. He got my the most beautiful round cut solitaire that just shines like you wouldn't believe. I was shaking like a leaf and crying like my eyes were faucets but it was a great feeling to say "Yes" to have both our families there to share such a magical moment and to know that he and I are going to spend our lives together. *happy tear* He proposed before I started spring break so It was nice to be able to look around for a hall and set a date - to get the important stuff out of the way. And we did. May 22, 2010.

This past weekend two of my best friends from out of town came in this weekend - I was so excited I almost peed a little. Friday I picked up Mandy and headed to my house where Kristin was already waiting. We sat in out Pj's talked about weddings, boys, ideas, the future... we ate crappy fries from wendys and looked through wedding books. We watched some TV and eventually passed out. In the morning my mom made us breakfast and we went on our way. My mom and I put a down payment on the hall and ran some errands. At night Heather, Mandy, Kristin and I decided to go out and have a little fun. We went to PY in Livonia and let's just say we had a BLAST! sure we had too much to drink but none of us had been out in awhile so it was past due. We danced on top of the chairs, banged on the table and danced our little hearts out. After we were done dancing away we decided to hit up our familiar friend "Zacks" for some late night bar food. Mozz sticks and pita bread with ranch. We didnt have a pleasent experience seeing that the manager was being kind of a dick to Kristin who put her feet up since they hurt and yelled at us for smoking cloves - granted being drunk and getting yelled at do NOT go hand and hand so we left. Lame. Kristin spent the night and in the morning had a delish breakfast compliments of my dad. After that I saw The Watchmen which was Meh - not bad but not great then headed over to Mikes where we just hung out, had some dinner and chatted.

Now I am back to the grind of school and work. I have been feeling so stressed with how shitty the economy is - thinking that something bad is going to happen and I know I shouldnt I know I need to think positive but it's like HELLO when will it get better? How does it get better? So many questions. Again I just pray that we get past this bad bad wave and start heading to shore. It just sucks. I have a crap load of stuff due this week for school so I will blog some more shortly - till then here are some pics of the engagement.

M.I.A.

So I know I have been missing in action. But I have some news.

I'M ENGAGED!!!!!!!

I will fill you all in on the details this weekend when I have time and fill you in on some other stuff going on. Till then, I bid thee aideu.
