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:

I went to the botanical gardens today to shoot some photos…OK I’m lying, the reason I really went there was to get the heck out of my apartment because the lover and I were fighting, and he was going to be home soon. Usually when I get stressed/upset/mad I go for a drive and crank my CD player, but can’t really do that with these gas prices. Anyway, when I got to the gardens I had to wait in my car for, oh, twenty minutes because it was POURING rain. Once it stopped I got out and went photo snappin’ crazy, I had to hurry up though because I was getting feasted on by mosquitoes. I think I got bit like ten times, hope I don’t get Malaria…I know, I know, that’s something I shouldn’t joke about.
I got a couple good shots that I’m proud of considering my camera sucks.

So I’m all by my lonesome tonight. The boyfriend had to go to his work dinner party that they have to attend once a month. I think it’s rather stupid that I can’t go, but it’s no spouses I guess so WHATEV. At least something good comes out of the dinner - he gets his bonus, and with that he’s paying all of the rent. I usually pay half the rent but he told me he’d pay it all so I could save up spending money for when I visit home. It’s not really working out because I haven’t gone to work in two weeks. That’s the problem with being able to work whenever you want, you don’t go. Well… at least I don’t. I hate my job though, and I’m trying to avoid a certain person. Whoever said don’t get involved with a person you work with is sooo right. If I see that person when I go back to work, and they come up to me and say “oh, I was just joking around” I think I may karate their face. And, I’m aware no one knows who or what I’m talking about so I’ll just stop this little rant.
So, the boyfriend is also paying for my ticket to go up north. I’m so excited, I haven’t seen my ma, sister, or my little nieces in over a year. I miss them so much. Really, I miss living in Michigan, I feel like it’s still my home. And Florida… well, it’s like I’m on a permanent vacation that I’m having no fun on. I think I’m an idiot though; because I’ve decided to ride a bus up there! Haha, I’m gonna be on the thing for a day and a half! I know it’s stupid that I’m not flying when I could be there in two hours, but I’ve never been on a plane before and I don’t think I could handle the first time by myself. I even read this and still don’t feel good about a plane… so, a bus it is! Maybe some sweet-awesome 80 year old will sit next to me and tell me their life story.
It started storming earlier, and because James wasn’t home and I hate being by myself in storms I took a drive up to Target and Marshalls to do some browsing. I got a few things at Target but the only thing worth mentioning is the Orchid. I think they’re such beautiful flowers and I’ve been wanting one for awhile. I guess I had been putting off buying one because I’ve heard a lot of people say that their hard to keep alive. So what? I suck at keeping any flower alive. I’m sure it can’t be that hard, plus there’s a lot of websites with care tips.
At Marshalls I bought four books and I only paid $14. I’ve never thought of looking for books there, but it turns out they have a good collection (if you like “how to” books) and at decent prices. I got: Campbell’s 1-2-3 Dinner, Easy as apple pie, The Lovely Bones, and The Great Husband Hunt. The novels will come to good use on the bus, as long as I don’t get car sick… I couldn’t believe the pie book was only $2 dollars, and with this cooking kick I’m on I could have crapped my pants. They had a lot of good books; some about interior design, bartending, lots of cook books, memoirs, and a lot of other stuff. I probably found the only novels they had, well…except for a Harry Potter book but I’m not a fan.
OK…I’ll stop boring you now. If anyone read all of this I give you props for dealing with my randomness.
