Saturday Night NOT Live...

NYC was a blast! There is SO much to do in NYC, it's crazy. That city really IS the city that never sleeps. But let me explain to you the REAL reason why it doesn't sleep. Cause who the EFF can sleep with cabs honking at each other 24/7, ambulances blasting their sirens and two drunk girls fighting outside your hotel???! I mean, people ARE walking around in the wee hours of the morning, but I'm convinced thats the REAL reason why the city never sleeps.

So I'm sure you're wondering what we did there, right? Well, read Renee and Marie's blogs soon for a full summary. I'm too tired and my throat hurts. But I do have enough energy to summarize the bar life! Haha!

Friday night: We met Omar (Marie's boss's son) in Soho at a bar called Naked Lunch. It was a nice place, not so big and very PACKED. Renee and Farah left after 20 minutes and I was contemplating leaving with them but didnt. The night started off slow but ended up being really fun. We met pretty much the whole bar. That's where I met Henry which you will hear about in my summary of saturday night. We closed the bar down and just headed back to the hotel after. Bars there close at 4. Why can't they close at 4 here?!? But then again, there is No bar here that I'd care to be at til 4 am!

Okay so on saturday night Nickole wasn't feeling well and Renee is old and married and Farah wasn't in the mood to go out so guess what....WE DID NOT GO OUT ON SATURDAY NIGHT IN NYC!!!!!!!!!! (hence my blog title: "Saturday Night NOT Live" I was SOOO pissed but I ended up hanging out with Henry from the night before so it worked out just fine for me. Thank you, Henry, for pulling through for me last minute!

Sunday night was an interesting night. We went to the Laugh Factory where we really did Laugh SOOOO much. After the show we walked a few blocks to a bar right by our hotel called Kevin St. James. We met some guys there that do scenery for NBC. We also met Bartender Mark. SUPER nice! He gave us all our drinks free the whole night, and we drank quite a lot. We left this bar to meet up with Omar again. We went to 3 different bars that were all dead and Marie wasn't feeling well so we dropped her back to the hotel and Nickole and I went back to Kevin St. James. We met Londoners that were fun. They were at the same hotel as us. The hotel we stayed at, the Paramount, was full of Europeans! It was really cool to hear all the different accents and languages. I'm sure you'll hear more about the actual hotel in Renee's and/or Marie's blog so be sure to check their blogs out! haha
The 2nd highlight of the trip took place last night/this morning: GETTING TO LIVE OUT MY DREAM OF BARTENDING! We stayed after the bar closed and I was telling Mark, the bartender, how I've always wanted to bartend so he told me to get behind the bar and make a drink! Thank you Mark at Kevin St. James for the opportunity to make Nickole a Cosmo! How fun! I know the picture is dark but it's from Nickole's phone:


That's a summary of NYC. The girls shopped, went to a museum, site-saw. I shopped a little, didn't do the museum or anything really touristy. I did, however, ride the subway alone, like a true New Yorker!

I need a vacation! Anyone wanna go somewhere? =)

NEW YORK CITY....

....HERE WE COME!!! Anyone reading this....please pray we get on Cash Cab! Don't know what it is? Cash Cab is a tv game show where you get in a cab, and Ben, your cab driver, asks you trivia questions while he drives you to your destination...you win money for each question you get correct...and if u get three wrong, he drops you off wherever you are. if u make it to the end, you can choose to go double or nothing by answering one question. THAT WOULD BE SO FUNNNN!!!!

Good 'Ol Canino Daze...

I'm craving the caNino. I haven't been there since vegas! And I didn't even play that much in vegas either. I now am not afraid or ashamed to admit that at one point in my life I think I may have had a slight addiction to the casino. I say "slight" addiction cause I think if I was full-blown addicted I wouldn't have been able to stop so easily and I would have gambled more money while I was there. I used to go up to four times a week. What was wrong with us?!!? How was I even able to afford that? I haven't been to MGM yet, I heard it's purty nice down there. I'm trying to make my friends leave work early today and go with me but nobody will =( Anyone wanna go?? Haha

I'm SOOO jealous, Brian and Brent! =( Brent, you should not be going to Vegas, I SHOULD BE! You belong on cruises not in Vegas! =)



I miss you, Fabulous Las Vegas!

On a lighter note...

I've decided I'm going to start looking into bottling my dressings, etc. I have a lot of research to do, but it's exciting. If anyone reading this has ever created, bottled, manufactured, distributed, etc anything, and has any advice to give me, let me know!

But here is the question I have for you....What should I name my line of dressings, marinades and spice rubs/mixes? I'm taking suggestions...something cute!

p.s. sorry for being sensitive brian.

Saturday Morning Poll

If my friend was struggling with something that I could do easily, I would help them in a heartbeat. They wouldn't even have to ask. So, I asked one of the Cheeburger owners to write a testimonial for SnappyOrder.com. He said he's not a good writer and asked me to write it and that he would just sign it. I agreed, though I know nothing about writing, let alone writing a testimonial! After a week or so of stressing out about it, I finally put something together. It was about a page long and pretty detailed. I sent it to Brian to proofread and fix and he sent me a short quote and said "here is your testimonial"!!! It took him literally 2 minutes. Why would he make me write it if he could do it in 2 minutes?? I was pissed! Like really annoyed! So I sent it to the owner to read to make sure it was okay and he wanted to change something about it. SOO I told Brian what needed to be changed and HE WON'T CHANGE IT! I mean, I understand that maybe he is not doing it so I can learn how to do it myself, but I've never even freaking seen a testimonial! I JUST CAN'T WRITE! Why do you think I didn't finish school...CAUSE I CAN'T WRITE OR DO SPEECHES!!!!!!!

Saturday Morning Poll:

Would you help a friend with something you could do so easily?

MishMish = Apricot

Like my new blog title? If yes, I actually came up with it myself! If no, Brian came up with it.


So I've been training this lady for sales for SnappyOrder.com. I'm probably not the best person to train anyone on any type of sales. But I believe in snappy and know the system which makes it easy! I kinda like meeting people and talking to restaurant owners and managers. The other day I re-met a guy I went to 4th grade with (who by the way is very hot now)!!!! He owns Breakaway Deli in Troy and Bloomfield Hills. Today I met this SUPER nice couple thats opening a cute 50's diner type place called Sizzle-In Diner in wixom. Tomorrow I have a meeting with the owner of the four Topz Healthier Burger Grill. Has anyone eaten there? I wonder if healthy burgers are good. haha We have meetings setup all week so please pray for me and/or wish me luck! THANKS in advance!

A sunday in the life of MishMish....

So today was a pretty chillaxed day. I woke up way too late. Late enough to have missed an order I was supposed to call on =( Oh well.
Then I went to the gym with Renee to repeat our training workout from Wednesday. It was torturous (Renee, treacherous doesn't work in this case. Treach-er-ous: Guilty of or involving betrayal or deception) Renee quit 5 leg lifts before she was done, then decided to finish when I finished the whole workout.
After that I came home and Fatin picked me up so we could go grocery shopping, something we have been planning for over a week. She thought I was gonna ditch. She kept reminding me throughout the week. So we got 5 miles into our adventure when our aunt called her and told her she wanted her to go to the mall with her so she could watch her son play in the play area while she shopped. Fatin is an idiot that doesn't know how to say no to her family, and then complains about it. So she ended up dropping me back home and went to the mall. Thanks for ruining my day, Fatin! =)
So I went to Meijer instead cause I had told Renee I would grocery shop for her. I bought her the stuff she needed to make stir fry for dinner and dropped it to her house.
I picked up food after that and brought it home for Marie, my mom and I.
After dinner I cleaned my room! Yes...my room is now CLEAN! YAAAY! I really hope I can keep it clean this time.
I've been home all night and have been SOOOO tired since 7 pm. If you check to see what time this blog was posted it's probably gonna say something like 2:30 am. Yup, It's almost 2:30 am and I'm STILL NOT ASLEEP!
So that was my extremely exciting day.

Has anyone been to San Francisco? I am planning on hopefully going to LA and San Fran in march or april. I have Chris to show me around LA and I have a friend in SF also but I wanna know if there is anything I just HAVE TO see. Anyone wanna come?

I think it's time to try to sleep. Good night folks.

p.s. Nobody ask me to go out to eat anymore.

Saturday Morning Poll

Please let me know if you think the following statement is true or false, and please explain your answer!

"When I am in a relationship, I don't have as much time to spend with my friends."

Keep this in mind: "not as much time" means any less time than you had before you were in a relationship (whether it be a few hours, or a couple days)

Blogging Regularly

So you guys want me to blog more? Okay, well let me blog about how I'm NOT gonna blog more! First of all, I never promised anyone any certain amount of blogs in any given time period. I have averaged about one blog per week which I, personally, find to be just the right amount. Now that we have 5 blogs in the family, I don't think I need to blog more! Second of all, I don't really have much to blog about. I know you're thinking: "blog about your thoughts on current events, your thoughts on movies and music, your thoughts on marie's ugly-ass-grandpa-looking-not-even-grandpa-looking-garbage-worthy glasses, your cats actions of the day, etc". Well, no! I only wanna blog about what I want to blog about, that's why this blog is called Michelle's World!!!! It's not Renee's world or Dina's world or Reta's World, so there! I blogged about my thoughts and feelings...

peace out!

I'm SO excited...

I just put music on my new shuffle (thank you: marie, for the shuffle. adam and renee, for the music!) I have THE BEST mixX on it! Tupac, Sinatra, Pitbull, Queen, Gypsy Kings, NKOTB, Gwen Stefani, Madonna, Tim McGraw & Faith Hill, Guns N' Roses, Whitney Houston, and so much more...I even have a song by Tom Jones!! I CAN'T WAIT TO WORKOUT TO IT!

2008 has started slow. I had the stomach flu yesterday. NOT fun! But I'm feeling better now which is good.

So One of my friends' new years "goals" is to do at least one new/exciting thing per month. I think I am gonna try for that too. January's Excitement - GO TO NY! Which I am excited about but kinda not. I'm sorry Marie and Renee and Farah and Nickole (if you read this) but I really DO NOT wanna go shopping all day and I'm also not very interested in museums! What the hell am I gonna do!? Like an hour or so of shopping is fine...but PLEASE not all day!!!! And I guess I'll suffer through one museum, but please not more!

Can anyone think of a cool name for my Blog? Michelle's World is so boring. Reta's is fun: La Isla of Reta! Quite clever!
