I was crazy happy this morning. I got up and had this whole post I wanted to write. And then I got ridiculously obsessive and crabby and it all went out the window.
So instead of my fiercely awesome post you get this
{from Stuff No One Told Me, thanks Jenni!}
So terribly true!
Some dreams are just so good that you don’t want to wake up.
heh 
I took my last post down because I’m not a big fan of being all vulnerable and emo. I’m also feeling a bit better about it today. Not 100% but I’ll live.
Let’s do something completely useless today…
If I were a month, I’d be June.
If I were a day of the week, I’d be Saturday.
If I were a time of day, I’d be dusk, when the sun is setting and the fireflies light up.
If I were a planet, I’d be Pluto.
If I were a sea animal, I’d be a dolphin.
If I were a direction, I’d be East.
If I were a piece of furniture, I’d be the couch you didn’t want to get up from.
If I were a liquid, I’d be strawberry kiwi juice.
If I were a gemstone, I’d be a topaz.
If I were a tree, I’d be a Maple Tree.
If I were a tool, I’d be a hammer.
If I were a flower, I’d be a stargazer lily.
If I were a kind of weather, I’d be sunshine.
If I were a musical instrument, I’d be the drums.
If I were a color, I’d be blue.
If I were an emotion, I’d be excited.
If I were a fruit, I’d be raspberry.
If I were an element, I’d be wind.
If I were a car, I‘d be an SUV.
If I were a food, I’d be Mexican.
If I were a place, I’d be a tropical island.
If I were a material, I’d be cotton.
If I were a scent, I’d be candy.
If I were an animal, I’d be a monkey.
If I were a facial expression, I’d be sticking my tongue out.
If I were a song, I’d be “Life Goes On”.
If I were a pair of shoes, I’d be flip-flops.
I stole this from Nifer Musings
Not a lot going on around these parts. Here’s some randomness for the hump day.
This made me laugh this morning
Roadtripping the 3 hours to Oscoda with C and the dogs. I hope this doesn’t get old. We laugh a lot and make fun of custom license plates and bumper stickers.
Feeling guilty that I want to take a step back from taekwondo for a little bit. 3-4 days a week for the past 3 years and 9 months has taken a toll. There are other things I want to explore, which is why I’m cutting training down to 1-2 days a week this summer.
I’m content and that makes blogging sporadic.
Girls weekends at the cabin. I’m going to learn how to haul the boat so next summer we can take it out 
Fireworks for the the 4th of July and making new, awesome memories of this summer
Happy Mother’s Day to all the Moms out there.

Won’t you join in?
I’ve seen this on other people’s blogs and since I need a jump start on writing I think it’s a good time to try this.
The sun shining more and taking the dogs for walks with C at night. Spending more time together because the warmer weather makes us want to stay home and work outside instead of play hockey and go to taekwondo.
Having to sit at work when the sun is out and it’s warm enough to go without a jacket. Being stressed about money 
I’ve made some bad choices in the past but I learned a lot, so I’m not sure if they were really bad at all.
To put us on a stricter budget so we can start saving money instead of spending as frivolously. Though I’m sure we will still spend, hopefully not as much, because I could get hit by a bus tomorrow. I don’t believe in hoarding all my money away now in hopes of using it later. Tomorrow is not promised.
You infuriate me and I would rather not let you back in my life, but I’m afraid if I don’t, I won’t be able to obtain the information you have that one day I will need.

Continuing my Betty Crocker ways, I made empanadas last night. Meh, they were ok but it was more work than I wanted it to be, mostly rolling out the dough. I would have rather just bought wheat tortillas and stuffed them.
I’m going to be honest with you. I’ve kind of lost my voice*. I’m not even sure what I should be putting up in my little corner of the internet. I’m tired of doing bullet points of the crap rattling around in my head.
This is NOT my goodbye to blogging or letting you know I’m taking a break. I kind of hate those types of posts. This is me asking you where do you look for inspiration? When you are in a funk, where do you find creativity and things to spark imagination and ideas? Yeah, cuz I could use that right about now.
Hit me with’em!
Also – a story that makes me giggle. More of a chuckle, really. I could care less about my 10 year high school reunion this summer, but Shell has threatened if she decides to go she is dragging me kicking and screaming. And JP started dating someone we went to school with and he wants to go so she is reluctantly agreeing. *rolls eyes* So it looked as though I was going. BUT today I saw on facebook our class president finally got an answer from our school. They spent all our class money on a new theater system. So we have $0. HAHAHAHAHA They are frantically trying to think of ways to raise money for a deposit on a hall and whatever else they need. They figure they can pay for the rest with ticket sales. Pshhh….I hope they don’t succeed. Muhahahaha
And a line from a song I just can’t stop singing,
“I miss those days as the years go by, Oh nothing’s sweeter than summertime”
- American Honey, Lady Antebellum
*As soon as the words of “I lost my voice” were typed of course the words just came pouring out. Don’t worry I still need you to tell me where you go for inspiration!*

It’s days like today that make me sleepy and all I want to do is curl up in my sweats. I don’t mind the rain but not when I have to walk in it and it gets my jeans soggy.

Some tumblings in my brain:
– I need a massage bad. I carry all my stress in my shoulders. It’s so painful.
– I know I said I was going to Chicago for my birthday but plans changed and instead we are going to Vegas in July with LP and her boyfriend. It should be lots of fun.
– The plan is to watch Burn After Reading and eat grilled cheese and soup for dinner. We thought about going to Noodles since they are donating to the National Kidney Foundation of Michigan today, but there isn’t one close to the house.
– I’ve been trying all week to win Taylor Swift tickets for Jenni and I. No luck. *sad, sad face They are talking about they are going to giveaway a backstage pass but I don’t know if I’d actually want to meet Taylor Swift. Just the tickets please!
– I’m beyond excited for Circus class on Saturday. I sadly have no cool, fun leggings to wear. I’m so boring.
– I think we might be going up north to look at cottages Easter weekend!
– I am really thinking about getting a good camera. I would love to start doing some pet photography. I think I might look for one on craigslist or ebay.
– Speaking of doing other things, I got my first freelance website job yesterday. I’m scared and excited at the same time! I can’t wait to get started.
– I haven’t put laundry away since we got back from San Diego…Last month! Can someone do it for me?
– Today is my Friday, I have tomorrow off. Woo! I have a doctor appointment in the morning (crinkles nose) and then I’m meeting C for lunch. Then LP is coming over so we can book our Vegas trip.
What have you been up to? What random things do you have to share?

With a little persuading from Jenni, I decided to jump on the bandwagon.
I promise my answers will be completely honest.
