it's been forever since I blogged. Almost a month!! I really don't know why..it's not
like I've been busy or anything like that...so much stuff has happened since then...we had a get together
at my place in kzoo which was a lot of fun...way too much food was made (as usual) with my favorite
cooking buddy (that would be Anna) and it was nice to be with all of my friends...what else...Thanksgiving
was nice...ate lots of food again and just hung out with my family. I went to Galyan's on that Friday with
Ryan, Vince, and Mary...that store is just amazing....I absolutely love it!! Ryan got an awesome weight
set and bench...all we need now is an elliptical and a pilates machine thing and our fitness room will be
set for when we finally get a house...wow!! That's amazing...kinda scary and exciting thinking about all
that grownup stuff...like houses and weddings and stuff like that...more exciting than scary though...

Speaking of weddings...I'm in the twins (Hyun's) wedding this coming May...I'm not even excited about
it...is that bad? I feel that I should be excited and that it should feel "right" (but it doesn't)...I
mean, I wouldn't have gotten together with Ryan if it wasn't for them...or would I? Does that make me a
bad person? Because sometimes I feel that I am...and I try to be a good person...I'm usually open-minded
and everything like that...but then how far do you go in terms of trying to "repay" someone for something
that they did for you? (this all goes back to the meeting Ryan thing) I don't want to seem like I'll only
do things for someone if they do something for me...I'm there for my friends regardless any time of the
day...but what about those that aren't your "real" friends? The twins bring out something in me that I
really don't like and I guess I didn't realize it until Ryan mentioned it to me...I wish there was
something I can do about it...it's so irritating....it's like this competition between us...like who is
better that who...drives me nuts...I don't feel like that with anyone else...usually I'm really happy for
them....I think that's what drives me nuts....what to do? hmmm.... On the other hand...one of my boys is
getting married this September and I am ecstatic about that...I'm so happy for him and I know that they'll
be really happy....this is definitely one of the few weddings that I've been to that I am really, really
excited about...and he asked me to be his bridesmaid!!! How amazing is that? Every time I talk to him,
he's so happy and excited...I've never heard him be this excited in the last 6 1/2 years that I've known
him...and then I think to myself, this is how it should be...you should be this happy when you get
married...it's what everyone should hold out for...never sell yourself short....I think that's one of the
most important things in life...don't ever settle...that's my little two cents for today

WOW!!! I had so much fun...and I was so happy to see all my friends....it was the
best...I'm so glad that we all made it to Chicago the same weekend. What can I say...we did everything in
those 3 days....starting out with the drive to Chicago where we had a caravan of 2 blazers playing encore
back and forth, arriving at Porta's and chilling for a bit, then going out to Zentra...oh my goodness it
was a blast...it's been ages since I went clubbing, especially with all my friends...
Saturday - we had Jamba Juice for breakfast (YUMMY!!! I can't believe no one told me about it before) and
saw Monsters Inc....I love that movie!!! Boo is the cutest animated little girl I have ever seen in my
life!!! I swear she's real...if any of you haven't seen it yet...you must go....
Sunday - we had dim sum (more yumminess) and then boba (even yummier)...we also got to see Syd's townhouse
which is gonna be really really nice when it's completed...then our journey continues with the drive
home...where we met up with Donna and Michelle for dinner in Kzoo (YAY!! 2 times in one week!!) and
chilled with them for a bit...afterwards I took Alvin and Chris back to Ann Arbor...actually Alvin drove
because I was too tired...from there I went to the airport to switch out my car...no more pukey green!!!
That makes me happy...I now have a nice silver blazer and it has the remote to unlock my doors!! I'm a
happy girl!! I got to Ryan's at about 2:00 A.M and I slept tor 3 hours then I made my return trip to Kzoo
for work where I didn't even have to work (legal issues that need to be resolved) so I spent yesterday
recuperating from this weekend...all I can say is that I am truly blessed with the greatest friends...I
love the fact that even when we don't see each other for some time..when we do get together, we can just
pick up where we left off and it feels like we haven't been apart...I love them!!

okay...so another slow day...but it's not too bad...I have lots of time to just
sit and think about everything going on in my life and just be by myself...I feel that days like that are
important....just to sort out all my thoughts...so I was thinking about all my friends....how I miss all
of them...and I just have to say that I have the greatest friends....I don't know if I tell you guys that
often enough...but it's just something I wanted to say...and I'm also sooo excited about chicago this
weekend and Harry Potter weekend in 2 weeks....I get to see friends that I haven't seen in a while...I
feel that these get togethers we have are very much needed...and I know that we don't do it often...but
when we do, it makes them really special and I really cherish those moments....especially when all we do
it sit around, cook, and eat...that's the best! Oh and I also have to say that Anna, you're the
best...thank you for putting the comment thing on the bottom of my thing...well, gotta go and make sure
these guys are working.
