Up North

This weekend three of my girl friends and I are heading up north to Traverse City. My aunt and uncle live up there and are letting us stay in their amazing house that includes pool and hot tub. I cannot wait.

Ever since high school ended, summer never really feels like summer. It used to be drive in movies, pool, tanning, lots of vacations and sleep. Now it is full of classes, work and more work so this trip up north is much needed. I want to swim and go to the beach and have a weekend where it feels like summer. It will be much needed since school is starting back up soon. I also really want to jet ski, it is probably one of the greatest things ever. It is exhilarating and I always want to go faster. This weekend up in TC is also the film festival so there will be a good amount of commotion going on.

The last time I was up in TC was a couple of years ago for my cousins wedding. It was fabulous. We got to jet ski, lay on the beach, celebrate with family and drink on the docks. The reception was right on the bay as the sun set so it couldn't have been more perfect.

Hopefully this weekend will be just as great as the last time I was up there.

Bring on the bathing suits, sun tan lotion and sun.

Return to the Homeland

I am returning to my homeland this weekend! Buffalo, New York that is.

Words cannot describe how excited I am. I do love Michigan and MSU and all my friends here, but being a part from my family all year round gets sad quickly. Especially since I am living with my best friend and her family. They are fabulous, I love them. But seeing her being able to hug her mom and dad, talk to them everyday and have their support whenever gets hard to be around when you miss your own family this much.

I also get to see all my little animals! The kittens, birds and lil stinkers of dogs. I am so excited to be able to pet all the cuties and visit them. Animals have always been a huge part of my life because my dad is a vet and has owned an animal hospital for I don't even remember when it, has been so long.

Also, I get to eat the fabulous foods of my hometown. The number one being REAL CHICKEN WINGS. Seriously, I have not found one place outside of Buffalo that can make chicken wings the way we do. It is the most fabulous food ever. I could probably eat it everyday. Plus my mother's home cooking and all the little restaurants that I love in Buffalo.

Hopefully Jackie will be coming along with me so that I can show her all the goods in my hometown. Such as Niagara Falls, Sabres Arena, my house, my high school and obviously The Anchor Bar. It will probably be the best weekend of her entire life.

So pretty much I am so excited to go home for three reasons. Family, Animals and FOOD. The three greatest things in life right? If there was one person who disagreed I would totally be ready to fight them in a cage.

Guilty Pleasure

Everyone has their guilty pleasure that they can never get enough of. Some admit what it is, while others try to hide it from others. I am not one to hide my guilty pleasures. Sure most of them are embarrassing but I guess that all my friends must accept my weirdness.

This year, my guilty pleasure has been the TV show Bones. I cannot stop watching it. Some days, when I don't have work, I can watch atleast 5 episodes of the show. I admit it isn't the best show ever written or made but I love it. It is my favorite show and it has me entranced. The fact that it has mystery of trying to find out who killed the victim, to the drama in the Smithonian lab, and the scientific touches, I love it all.

There is not one character that I am not intrigued in. Everyone brings something to the show and makes me laugh. I even liked the creepy character of Eps. The storyline of Eps was one of the most intriguing. It was also disturbing because in reality, there are serial killers out there similar to Eps. They kill for the fun of it and leave their marks of their "work."

I have also learned some about science. I haven't taken a science class since physics my junior year of highschool. Not all the science may be true in the show but it is interesting. In general, they keep it real and I learn some. Watching it with my friend who is a bio major is a whole other level because she is always one to point out in shows when something about science is incorrect. For Bones, there are not too many times where she does that.

Of course, the last and one of the greatest parts of the show is Booth. Back in the good old days I was obsessed with Buffy the Vampire Slayer. I watched it religiously and loved Angel, so watching David Boreanaz in Bones is reminiscent. He is gorgeous and hilarious in the show. Plus the tension between Booth and his partner Bones is too much to handle. Everyone knows who watches the show that they are made for each other and it hurts to watch the show sometimes.

In conclusion to this mystery, science, funny, drama show is perfect. I can sit for hours watching it. I can even watch reruns. It is my guilty pleasure and I'm letting everyone know.
