I know I haven’t wrote in over a week…I’ve been having horrible migraines everyday, so when I do get on the computer I only feel like checking my email then getting off. I’ve also been kind of busy, we moved into a house last week so I’ve just been trying to get situated and get some cleaning done. I never explained the story about the house…James and I used to live in it with the owner—but he moved to New Jersey and is letting us stay here basically for free while he tries to sell it (lets it go into foreclosure). The house is never going to sell because he owes a lot and is asking to high of a price. I guess it takes between 6-12+ months for banks to take houses back, so we have some time to save up some cash before we have to get out. Even though it’s not our house, I still think it’s fun to share it with only the boyfriend. Plus, I can do whatever I want with it. I can get creative with decorating and gardening!! I shot a video of myself giving a tour of the house. Please don’t think I’m stoned in it, I’m simply not good at talking on videos—it’s like talking to yourself. I mumble a lot and sound like Paris Hilton at times but the beginning makes me LOL. There goes my dream of being a talk show host—I’d put people to sleep for sure!
I’m going to try and start posting more frequently. Right now my main focus is trying to find a job so I don’t have to deal with the boyfriend screaming at me 24/7.

After about 26 days in Michigan, I can honestly say I’m relieved to be back home. Although I did enjoy myself very much it was just too long. I missed the boyfriend, my car, and my own bed! I’m very grateful I got to see my family and a couple friends, and to the people that didn’t make an attempt to see me can go screw themselves. I would have traveled to see them, but I had a limited amount of money, (it sucked, especially with my favorite mall located up there!) and friendships shouldn’t always be one sided.
The best part of my vaca was the three hour trip my mom, sisters, nieces, and I took up north. I got to visit a lot of places I went to as a child, I even went in the backyard of my late grandma’s house. I spent so much time there growing up and it felt weird being there—almost like a dream! It was a little depressing because no one has lived in the house for a few years and it’s falling apart. Oh well, what can I do? If I had $50,000 I would buy the place but I’m far from having that kind of bank.
I took a lot of pictures which I’ve spent today uploading… Here’s a look at some random ones:

Strawberry Shortcake
I’ve been craving Strawberry Shortcake lately, so today I went to the grocery store and picked up some strawberries and the little dessert shells… I made it the easy way by cutting up the strawberries, then adding about a half cup of sugar and mixing it together. Afterwards, if you let it sit in the refrigerator for a few hours it makes it’s own juice. Add some whipped cream and “ta-da” you get the perfect summer dessert. I love strawberries. Hopefully one day I’ll not be lazy and make the cake part myself..
I feel bad for not blogging much lately, I’m either on plurk (which is so addicting), or trying not to spend so much time on the computer. The screen has been killing my eyes! All those hours I’ve spent on the computer since I was thirteen is finally taking it’s toll on my eyesight. I remember when my dad used to call me “computer egg-head” because I was on the computer so much. I still think it’s better than watching the television all day… I’ve also been lacking on blogging ideas, I think of topics to write about but never do for the fear of sounding stupid. If anyone has any ideas feel free to share. :-)
James bought my plane tickets yesterday!! I’m so excited to finally get to see my family and meet my new niece Serena. I’m leaving the 26th of July and staying about three weeks, and won’t be back until the 21st of August. It will be nice to get away from this humid rainy state! I wasn’t going to fly because I’m super scared, but I think I’d rather do that than be stuck on a bus for a day and a half. It’s about a two hour flight to Michigan—I’ll probably read a book or something to pass the time. I even had a freaky dream where I was looking out a window and saw a plane crash! I wish someone could carry me onto the plane sleeping, then just wake up up when we arrived in Michigan. Yes…I’m crazy.
