Roomie Love

This weekend I went home with my roommate Haley. She lives in a town called Grosse Pointe, right outside of Detroit.

Friday night we went to see the Hunger Games. I haven't read the books so I wasn't super immersed but it does have an interesting plot.


Saturday morning we got up early to go to a walk for Muscular Dystrophy. Our team of 8 headed to Ford Stadium (Where the Lions play) for the fundraiser. Besides the walk we got to take pictures with several Star Wars characters, Micky Mouse and the Detroit Lion.

After the walk I went to take a nap that ended up being 5 hours. I was so exhausted from the week before so I woke up feeling very refreshed. Saturday night we went to a Hookah bar and then to a Coney restaurant. I'm still kind of confused about Coneys. They seem to be a combination of Greek and American food but they aren't a chain. I also don't know if they're a Michigan thing or a big city thing or what. Either way I had a delicious Hani.

Sunday was relaxing. We slept in, Haley's mom made us a delicious breakfast and then we went to Target and I did my taxes! All by myself! It made me feel like such a grown up!

What did you do this weekend?

    Ooooh! That nap sounds wonderful! I miss college napping! :) It looks like you have a fun weekend! Also, I am so impressed that you did your taxes--I totally give that task to Chase! I would not even know where to begin! :)

11 Things

So one of my favorite blogs Paleorunnergirl just did this post and I thought it would be fun! So here you go: 1. What is your favorite meal? You know…I really just love food. But these days I would have to say crab cakes and broccoli. 2. How many times have you been in love? Zero. 3. What is your Starbuck’s order? I used to work there so this is a very loaded question. Here are my top 5: -Tall soy no water chai light foam -Tall Americano in a Grande cup with extra room (I add 2% milk and equal myself) -Double tall soy latte light foam -Venti iced passion tea 6 shots sugar free vanilla, no classic light water light ice -Tall espresso frappacino, no frappucino roast skim milk no whip  You had no idea how loaded of a question that was! 4. Action/Comedy/Drama/ or Romantic Comedy? Romantic comedies all.the.way.  My favorite romcom. I like them all though! 5. What was your favorite TV show when you were a kid? When I was really little I liked Arthur. 6.

What you didn't know about nursing school

Image
So usually I do a Sunday post but I just didn't have time this weekend! I had an anatomy test at 9 on Monday morning so I basically spent all weekend studying (there was a little time spent watching the super bowl and relaxing with friends.) But since I have been spending so much time doing school work this semester I decided I would give you a glimpse into what it's like! First and foremost the nursing school is really disorganized so we have a Facebook group to keep us sane. Whether it's about anatomy, football tickets or getting a ride somewhere, if you have a question, you post it here for a guaranteed answer. There is also some shenanigans on the nursing Facebook page...a lot of posts like this: U Mich nursing students love cats...and memes And this: That's what happens when your major is almost all girls! Not only are we connected virtually but we have all of our classes together so we're together all the time!  We walk together Off to the

Whining While Working Out

Image
I know I haven't blogged in a while...I do think about it a lot but I haven't had anything exciting to say! I'm still just babysitting and working out. But working out is the key part...I have had some REALLY hard workouts. Sunday (mother's day) I went out intending to run for 70 minutes and by about 45 I thought I was going to die. I mean not really die but I thought about asking someone if I could borrow their phone so I could get a ride home. It. was. awful. I mean I guess this is true...but I was pathetic. Then Monday I reluctantly put on my running shoes but then I looked outside and it was raining and I just decided to do laundry instead. Tuesday I had an okay 40 minutes on the elliptical while watching Sex and the City (thanks for lending it to me Sara!). I also visited my aunt, uncle and 2 cousins so it was a nice day. Me with the newest addition to the family. Then today I decided I would do a hill workout. I ran about a mile to a field that
