This Is The Life


Wow, I can't believe it's been over a month since I've updated you on everything going on! After my trip to Nashville, it was back to reality and I got thrown right back into the grind of school and work. On February 22nd, I went to the Psychic fair put on by UAB. I got to talk to a psychic and also have tarot cards read. Everything the psychic said was spot on, and so was the Tarot card reader. It was so cool and I even got to make some special aromatic lotion with rosemary oil to infuse it.

March 1st was Jessica's 25th birthday, so we went out on the town to Royal Oak to celebrate. We started at 526, which is a piano bar. It was very entertaining and the place was packed! We then went upstairs to Tequila Blue, another bar which had a dance floor. The drinks were delicious and we even got to try a shot called cinnamon toast crunch. It tasted just like the milk leftover from eating the cereal.
We ended the night at Luna, of course. CRAZINESS ensued, because while we were in line I saw Bernadette, Shaughn, and Jesse. Once we got in, they were waiting for us and we were talking when I saw another friend, Erik, who was celebrating his birthday as well. He had invited me on facebook but I hadn't realized it was the same night and at the same place! I was then told by Mallory that our friend John was at the bar as well. We met John the first time we ever went to Luna, and went there many times with him and his boys after. He moved to Florida a few months before I moved there for my Disney internship, and he still lives there so it was very surprising to hear that he was there. I found him and found out that he took a surprise trip to Michigan. I danced for like 20 minutes the whole night because I was talking to everyone all night. It was so great having everyone in one spot! We partied til 2am and then we went to National Coney Island across the street. The guy next to us puked on the table so I ate some of his cheese fries when they got delivered because he obviously wasn't going to eat them! After we were done eating, Sean and I went back to my place and passed out.

The MSU basketball season came to a close in March and I worked both the Men's and Women's banquets. Both went over an hour over the scheduled time, but they were very fun. For the women's banquet, I even got to serve the speakers for the event! Me and Austin still managed to have a bit of fun. This is me kissing Dantonio, the football coach ;)


The Women's team even got this huge cake which they gave us to eat!

For St. Patrick's Day, I went out with Trisha, Sean, Jess, and a few of her friends the night before in Flint.
We started at Bubba O'Malley's and we saw Erin there!! I got a free drink by having a staring contest with someone..I just thought of it on the fly while I was waiting for a drink and struck up a conversation with someone. He obviously lost, and I got a drink for me, Sean and Jess. I did it again to another poor soul on the other side of the bar, getting a tequila shot for him as well as my friend Matt and myself. They were both good sports about it, and I got 2 free drinks for myself and free drinks for my friends. I'd call that a success. Next, we went to Puzzler's and that was...interesting. Too much to type but Jess saw a guy she used to be familiar with, he got kicked out at some point, our DD wanted to be at Sharky's and we left and we couldn't find Trisha and she was in the truck of the guy who got kicked out looking for us in the truck. Anywhoooo, we got to Jess'place around 3:00am and I fell asleep right away. Me and Sean woke up at 9 to go to my place to start St. Patrick's day officially. We got there at the same time as Mallory and Laura did, and we started drinking immediately!
We made some really yummy orangesicle shots and we kept saying "Ok, we're going to leave after this shot." 4 hours later, I looked at the microwave clock and realized we had been in the same exact spot for 4 hours just talking and drinking. Time flies when you're having fun :)


We finally left the apartment and went out on Grand River to meet up with my friend, Ryan, at the Peanut Barrel.
I had theee spiciest bloody mary of my life. Then we started out along the street to a house my friend Jackie was at. We got there and it was so crowded, we went to the basement. There, I saw Hans, a student who lives at the Bed & Breakfast I work at! I joined in a game of flip cup, and once we won, we took off again. There was a fire in the back yard and it was so cold, so we decided to hang out there for a bit. Ryan picked us up with his car and we went back to my apartment. We had Little Caesar's for dinner, then decided to take a nap. When we woke up, it was 9pm and we didn't feel like going back out, so we played some Uno and hung out til we went to bed. In the morning, everyone left and I made up for the days I spent not studying.

On March 23rd, I got my hair lightened even more, and I'm basically back to the hair color I had when I was in high school. I got it done at Aveda, and I love it, even though it took 4.5 hours. Then I went to work, and after I got done at work, I headed to Amber's house to get ready for our friend from culinary school's bachelorette party. Stephanie's night started with dinner at Abuelo's in Sterling Heights.
We started the night out right with a margarita pitcher. Next, we went to Comedy Castle and enjoyed a few performances. After Comedy Castle, we went on Stephanie's party bus and drove around for an hour just laughing, talking, and dancing.
I'm excited for her wedding THIS Friday, April 5th!!! I'm going to Opening Day for the Tigers with Bernadette on Friday, too. It'll be my first time ever attending Opening Day, and I got a groupon for $15 to party in Greektown and Bernadette said we'll start around 10am...this is going to be an eventful week-end! Saturday, I will be celebrating Samantha's birthday (Friday) and Bernadette's birthday (Saturday) at Orchid in Ferndale. It's like Luna, actually it's owned by Luna, but in Ferndale and I think it's bigger too. Bernadette got a reserved booth with a complimentary bottle of champagne for her and Pennee's birthday, so Samantha did the same! I can't wait to dance the night away with great friends :)

So that's my life right now. 69 more days until Bonnaroo!!!
