Looking at starting a business? Ya-me too. Let me know when you have figured it out, and then tell me how to do it! I wish I had any sort of idea how to do this stupid thing. Where is the "one form fits all" that just handles all the things you need to do. It's pretty redic.
Not to mention the fact that once I actually get myself registered as a business, I am going to run into a million more questions when it comes to taxes, invoices, etc.
This should be quite an interesting year-I must say

Recent Obession
So, recently I became slightly obsessed with tanning salons. I didn't think I would ever, ever, ever!!! But, lying there with no phone, no one to bother you, etc. its actually amazing! It's 100% me time. I totes know that it's so not good for me, which is why I take supplements that are supposed to help capturing the radiation in your body and make it at least a little better, but I just love lying there!

Skip the Gossip-Focus on the Facts
I have attempted to write this post for several hours. I have several versions written, but nothing seemed to communicate what I felt about this subject. I guess you could say that this has been an ongoing thing, but finally I have hit the last straw. I wanted to find a way to not make anyone wrong for gossiping, but to show the actual affects it does create.
I guess plain and simply, I am guilty of the gossiping as is every other person at some point. But, maybe you have actually been there, where you are the topic of conversation. Maybe it is you that people are dissecting and trying to rip apart. I know I have been the one constantly talked about and judged, and yep, it hurts. And if you are the type of friend that likes hurting your other friends, or feels better once you have made less of them and dragged them down- well good for you. I'm human, it hurts, and I am done with it.
At this point I am not interested in spreading, listening or partaking in gossip. All it does is throw someone under the bus and attempt to make less of them until you and your friends come to some group agreement on how you all feel toward this person.
From here on out I deal solely in facts. I will deal with all facts of the situation and come to a conclusion which gives both parties the responsibilty they deserve for whatever situation. I don't agree with the concept of agreeing with a friend no matter what. We are human and we all make mistakes. There is nothing particularly wrong with that, but "helping" a friend doesn't mean making them right for something they were wrong for. Helping them would be to figure out the best way to handle the situation so it doesn't come up again.
After all, who wants to have to put quotation marks around the word "friend" everytime you bring them up. I know I don't.

1 Year Ago
Well, this year has passed quite fast, wouldn’t you agree? But, I was thinking about it and a lot has happened in the past year, its incred actually.I got to thinking how different things were a year ago. So, I made a little list!
Well, first of all I was 8 pounds heavier on average last year. This is about the time I got super sick and lost tons of weight.
Myspace was still “IN” and facebook was so not.
I hadn’t even heard of Twitter.
My sister was At Delphi and hadn’t graduated yet. Which would then mean that she wasn’t in the Sea Org.
Lindsay was here still, and going out with Corey even.
My brother wasn’t at Delphi and was home always.
Michelle and I had just about become friends. And (as previously discussed with Erin) Erin and I didn’t like each other.
We had just gotten back from Hawaii!
The DRAMA of that 2008 summer was just beginning.
Did Bear have a Pizza Place? (That one I don’t remember)
I didn’t have an IPHONE!!!! And neither did Bear, Erin, Lizzie, and tons of other people! (How did we survive then? OMG-I know)
Wedding Planning had yet to cross my mind.
I wasn’t 21
Amber was still in town and around. She wasn’t even completely crazy at this time.
I know tons of things happened in a year, but these are the main things that I had forgotten were ever not this way. Anyways, I had been thinking about it and thought it was quite interesting!
If you have ideas too of things that we different in May 2008-you can post them too……but weird huh???

Incredible!
OMG-I found this on my RSS because some other blogger was blogging about this new wedding website. It is literally incredible. First of all it's all pretty "hip" and a little out of the box when talking about weddings. But, its seriously refreshing to see something more young and hip coming into the wedding world! I don't know if I would be able to stray away from the timeless Cinderella wedding dress, but if I ever did, this is what I would wear. BUT, the even greater part of this is the Bridesmaid selections. Now this I would definitely do!
Anyways, I just got really excited about the ideas!

My run in with the cops
After laying out my snowboarding outfit (Pics on FB) I had to go to the "work". I wanted to help with something but i knew it was going to be late. So I showered, and got all ready for bed since Ian had to go to sleep (and i am apparently "loud" ). So i grab my keys and phone and leave. I called Michelle on my way out the door like I do every Thursday on my way. She went to voicemail. When i was in the car I figured I might as well be efficient and put my toner and cream on my face so I don't have to do it when I get home. So here I am with my little cotton pad rubbing my face with toner. I was prob going 45 ish in a 40, and not wearing my seat belt. This car sort of comes and tailgates me a bit and looks like he is trying to go faster. He cuts off another car and gets beside me. I look over and it's two cops. GREAT...that's just what I need right now. They look over and then slow down and there go the lights. So, on my way to pull over (i was in the left lane) I put my seat belt on.
The guy comes out and I was half crying half freaking out, and very tired! He comes over and asks me if I know why he pulled me over. I said "no" thinking Speeding? Seat belt? i didn't really know. He says that I was on my cell phone! What?!?! Thank god cause I actually was not on my cell phone! He asked me what I was doing then and I told him I was putting toner on my face and I could show him the cotton if he wanted. He asked me why I was freaking out (cause i was) and I told him I was just tired and wanted to go to bed. He asked me where I was headed. "To work" I told him. He was seriously confused. "Why are you going to work at midnight???" I told him that it was just what I did. I was going to go to work for a quick second and go home. As I was thinking- my story was soooo terribly non believable, yet it was the truth!
So, he says, "ok just show me your phone. Just show me when your last call was." I couldn't even find my phone, so i was sort of looking for it. When I found it, I hand him my phone and he is trying to work it. Finally i just took it and showed him. 11:50 PM Michelle. He says, "ok and what time is it now?" It was 11:56. literally, so lame! So i said, "OK, I see your point but I swear on my life she went to voice mail. She did not pick up her phone." So then he says ok. Then, THEN, he says to me, "How much have you been drinking tonight??" WHAT? ya srsly. Then he starts doing drinking tests on me. My eyes are not the best so I was thinking maybe he wouldn't believe me?? So i guess I passed that but you could tell he didn't believe it. So then he says, "ok just show me your license. I just want to see it, I am not going to give you a ticket." I hesitated and he said, "do you even have a license?" I told him I did but since I was just running to work for a quick, I didn't grab my purse. He looked all in my car, and then let me go.
Literally, soooo annoying! But, the weirdest thing ever. i would not have even believed my story at all! It sounded so fake but it was completely what I was doing! But, that was the first "ticket" I ever got out of!

What I’m going to do while I’m still here at Delphi
While I’m still here at Delphi (Which is for another 4 ½ Years) I want to learn who I will be and this school will help me figure that out.When I finish all of the forms I can say that I understood everything and skipped nothing.I’m here at Delphi to get a good education and that’s what I’m going to do While I’m at Delphi.I want to learn how to make a light bulb light up with a motor in science, or to divide 6 numbers into 10 numbers in math, and also I want to make my spelling better so I can learn how to write better. In 2008 my sister graduated from Delphi in her speech she said,”Delphi helped me realize who I was and not just be a scared and shy little girl. I’m not a little girl anymore thanks to Delphi.” That really made me realize that this school is really good and can help me with my life.Other schools can get me a good education but this would propably be the best.What Delphi does is they help you with your problems and really get you to move on a page in a book or a problem in math and that’s what I really like about Delphi.
