How do you sit through class while the person next to you is using a mechanical pencil?  This may sound funny but this question came to life for me today.  The girl sitting next to me in class was using a mechanical pencil today, no big deal right?  Wrong, the big deal was that she was doodling out of boredom and her pencil was making the absolute worst screeching noise!  I know all of you mechanical pencil users out there know what I'm talking about.  I myself have experienced the screech while using a mechanical pencil, but you stop doing whatever it is that is causing the screech.  I mean come on its common courtesy.  If it is something that you think is annoying, chances are someone or others think it is annoying as well.  Obviously this girl didn't have common courtesy sense because she just kept screeching that pencil.  I did look over a few times to show my hatred for the noise. 
Just know that if you are ever intend on using a mechanical pencil and the screeching begins, know that someone around you is annoyed so QUIT!

Happy Valentine's Day!

I love my boyfriend soo much!!  He had to work today so we celebrated on Saturday night.  He took me out to dinner at Maggiano's.  We had a great time and a fabulous dinner :)  Today I was surprised with a bouquet of roses from him when I got home.
I got Ben a photo frame with the first and only picture of us together.  I also made him a teddy bear from Build-a-bear and dressed the bear in a Michigan football uniform and had his name monogrammed on the back.  Then of course I had to get him some chocolates lol.

I would like to say Happy Valentine's day to all of you out there!  Enjoy your day!

Peace, grace, & love

Gator Bowl 2011

A few years ago I would have laughed at the idea that I would ever find someone I love.  I was living life hoping that the guy of my dreams would find me and I wouldn't have to do anything.  (I guess I watched too many Disney princess movies as a child) Something changed on my birthday a few years ago.  I decided that if I ever wanted to have a happily ever after of my own I needed to put myself out there and make myself available.  Ben and I met on-line, and started talking near the end of September.  Today there's no laughing because I am absolutely happy as ever with my boyfriend Ben.  We have been dating for a little over 4 months now and I am so in love!! :)  He makes me VERY happy.

I found this quote and thought is summed up things pretty darn well :)

Sleep deprived!

I need sleep!!  I am the worst when it comes to getting good sleep.  I always say that I am going to go to bed early but without fail it NEVER happens.  I am up doing what?  Nothing of any importance, just browsing the web, writing blogs, or watching TV.
Thats why I love Fridays!  I have at least one day a week I know I can sleep in. Now whether or not the sleep is good is a whole other ball field.  Last night was terrible I kept waking up in the middle of the night.  Then there is the absolute worst thing...waking up with back pain!  I hate it!  Why should I wake up with any aches, I'm only 23.  To add to that I have memory foam on my bed, isn't that supposed to help you sleep even better? I'm confused what am I doing wrong at night?  Help!!

Stripes

I think I have a problem!  I just bought 2 more articles of clothing to add to my already overwhelming collection of clothes with stripes.  I know everyone has their fallback favorite type of clothes to buy.  Mine seem to be stripes.  I just bought a dress and shirt with stripes.  And to get even more detailed I tend to be drawn towards navy stripes.  What is it about stripes?!
