is a
Hot Mess
Day 3 - First Date
Ummmmmm...I have no idea!!!!
It's been 9 years since I've even thought about a first date! So instead, I'll recap my first date with my husband. It was 9 years ago, and I still remember
Our first date was supposed to be Tuesday, September 11, 2001. Well, needless to say, that date was rescheduled...
Instead, on Saturday, September 15, Andrew picked me up in the suburbs, we went to Bakers' Square and talked. I learned how to pronounce his last name - this is something I'm still working on
We went back to the house where I forced him to watch a recording of the VMAs. This didn't last long...
We went to the piano and played some songs for a while. Then, ya know.
We had a fun first date and the fun has continued for 9 years.
Really I think a good first date is something quiet and calm, where you can really listen to each other and figure out if you have anything in common. Movies and concerts I think are a bad idea. Coffee or a casual lunch, to me, is a good idea. How can you know you want to bother with a 2nd date if you sit in a dark room with someone and never get to speak?
So yeah...that' all, cause I don't know what else to say...
Hopefully I can do better on tomorrow's topic!!!

Day 2 - mmmmmmmmmmm
After losing 30lbs for our wedding, I've kind of given up on food. I still eat every day but I try to only eat one big meal a day. Say what you will, but it's worked for me!
Yesterday I asked Andrew if I could take him to dinner for his birthday and he chose Indian Garden on Devon, which is one of our favorites! So, I saved my big meal for dinner today.
We had some super yummy food and since I couldn't remember what today's blog was supposed to be, I didn't take any pictures of my actual food! But thanks to Google, you can share in the yumminess
Since the challenge seems to imply that I should only post one item, I'm choosing the item that I could find a picture of that looks closest to how it looked in the restaurant:
SAMOSAS!!!
If you've never had naan, I am so sorry for you. It's pretty much the greatest bread on earth.
Anyway, my dinner was pretty awesome. If you're in Chicago and have never been to Indian Garden, I suggest you go. We love it there and so do our friends. There are two locations, so check 'em out!

He deserves to have someone pay for his food sometimes. I only wish I could do it more! Soooo...Day 2 down! Let's see if I can keep it up!
Day 1 - Not So Super Interesting
My day was pretty normal. Normal being annoying and exhausting.
I woke up on time, left on time but was still late for work because a traffic light was out at Sacramento and North Ave. I know there are cops in that area, but why they don't care enough to make sure traffic moves properly is beyond me. But I know there'll be a cop waiting right there to pull me over the next time I run thru a functioning red light. Annoying.
Work was normal - My English classes were decent. We're still working on nouns and vocabulary. My Writing classes were decent. We did some pre-writing today. Nothing too difficult. I had to modify some forms. Exciting I know!!!! For some dumb, dumb reason I volunteered to lead the dance class for our gym day, which is tomorrow. So, this means I actually have to come up with a dance routine. For tomorrow. And I haven't started. And I'm tired. And I don't want to...I wrote down some stretches, though. I'm kinda considering just winging it...But don't tell anyone
I ate McDonald's for dinner. Don't tell Andrew cause he'll ask my why I didn't eat something healthier. He always asks me that. And the answer is usually "because I didn't want to."
It's not even 6pm right now. I'm just chillin' watching Keeping Up With the Kardashians. I should be dancing/choreographing but...nope. I'm just gonna watch Kim's botox drama play out. She's so pretty! She didn't need botox. But I'm starting to get lines too...maybe I should consider botox. But wait - I can't afford it.
Ok. So that's my day. And since I'm supposed to post a picture of myself I will. But I'm not going to post a picture of myself today because I look a mess. So here's a new picture from a shoot I did this weekend.
I got excited!
I said I'd start tomorrow, but I got excited and decided to post again today
Ameerah tagged me in this facebook survey and I decided to answer it in my blog instead! ***Shamless way to try to get people to sub my blog*** hehe

So, following the lead of my awesome friend Vanessa (www.imsovane.com), I'm going to do a blog challenge because it will hold me accountable!
I decided not to do a makeup challenge just yet because there just isn't enough time in my day to actually spend more than 5 minutes putting makeup on, but I can sneak in a quick blog post daily. Maybe I'll try a makeup challenge later though.

THIS SERVER BLOWS!!!!
So - if you see a picture of a white girl with a pixie hair cut - that's obviously not me. I don't know how to get rid of her!!! When I started using that template I DELETED that photo but it still shows up. And now I'm not even using that template anymore!!!
If you see a purple and white striped background with a dress form on the bottom, just know I'm not using that template anymore either!!!!!!
The blog SHOULD be blue and berry colored. If not, I don't know what to tell ya.
WTF Go Daddy!!! You blow!!!! If I could get my blogger URL back, I'd just use that instead. Ewwwww. So annoyed right now!!!!!!!!!
GoDaddy.com
I hate you.
Love,
Michelle
I have my own blog!!!
I've literally been sitting on my couch since 8:30 this morning working on this website. I know it doesn't look like much, but it took me all day! I haven't brushed my teeth, showered, or even had a single thing to eat or drink all day and it's now after 6:30pm!!!! I'm STARVING! But I feel like I can't leave until I get this thing launched. So I'm ending this post for now so I can get this sucker loaded, shower and GET OUT OF HERE!!!!! I'm gonna make an effort to post here because I've wanted a blog for a while now. I had one like 2 years ago on blogspot but I deleted it and it's basically impossible to get you old URL back...blah blah blah! Anyway - HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND!!!!
Peace out.
