Michigan Trip

So, my aunt and cousin got here Thursday night. We had dinner then, went out shopping to pick up a few last minute things. Friday morning we got up early and ended up leaving at 7am on the dot. The drive to Michigan felt like it was never going to end. I drove the entire way and it took around 8 1/2 hours. The toll roads just killed me. They just went on and on forever. Thankfully on the way back on Sunday, we took a different way home and it seemed to be a lot shorter, timewise.

Anyway, Friday night, we went out to dinner with my other aunt and her fiance, Jim. We went to a place called Portofino's on the Detroit River. It was really good! The food and service was excellent. After we ate, we relocated to the bar and listened to a band play and had some drinks. The band was great too. After that, we made a stop at the liquor store, then headed over to see Tish & Jim's new house. It's so pretty! I totally love it. It's a new house and she's going to have a blast decorating it. The backyard is awesome too. She has a huge deck, huge yard, and a built in grill. They're going to get a hot tub and man, I can't wait to go back and visit after they move in!

Anyway, the shower was on Saturday. It was nice. She got a ton of nice stuff. We all had a good time too. It was nice seeing my other 3 cousins. After the shower, we went over to one of Tish's friend's houses for drinks. Except, I had no idea her house was really a $5 Mil Mansion. WOW. It was freaking beautiful. I could go on and on about it, but I'm just going to say this. It was a huge, huge, huge house and the inside was just too beautiful to put into words. Okay, enough about that. We had great wine! After we left her house, like 5 hours later, we went back to Tish's place, ordered some chinese, then headed out to her friend Pauline's bar for karaoke. It was a blast! Tish actually sings and sounds really good, but the other hoosiers at this bar were sooo bad. A bunch of old drunk men, singing really bad songs. But, we had a great time!

Sunday, we left Michigan around 7am and it was raining. That kinda sucked, but once we got into Indiana, it stopped raining for a while and it wasn't too bad. We got home in one piece and I was so happy to get home! I really had a good time this weekend.

Today, I was super busy at work and since I was tired, it kinda made the day crappy. I had to clean up the mess that the girl who fills in for me sometimes left. There's always a ton of shit she screws up. Honestly, sometimes I'd rather her not help out while I'm gone. She creates more work for me when she's there, than I have when she's not there. The accountant is all in a huff because she misplaced a check that she got on Friday from one of our big customers. I called her to ask her about it, and she was just like "uhhh, uhhh, I don't know...." I don't even think she knew what I was talking about. Oh well, just another thing I've gotta deal with this weekend. I will say, the accountant was cool today. He brought in lunch for everyone. Salad and sandwiches, which was nice because I forgot my lunch today.

My boss had to put the family dog down this weekend. He was really bummed out today and he said one of his kids was super super bummed about it. So, before the end of the day, he bailed out early to go try and get another dog from the Humane Society. Hopefully this new dog will fill the void the old dog left.

I'm going to be busy this week, so if I don't post everyday, I apologize in advance. I just have too much to do. I'm going crazy here!! And, I totally need to get on the ball with this wedding stuff for Jamie & Jon's wedding in June. I still need to get my shoes, and get my dress altered and get a shower present for her shower next weekend. Not to mention, get with the other bridesmaids about the bach. party. Then, there's a ton of stuff at work, Dionne's graduation this weekend, Mother's Day and other stuff that's going on this month that I need to get ready for.

Well, that's about it. I think I'm going to go to bed. I'm exhausted. Goodnight!
