THE BLOG--The 5 Year Letter

OK...here is my christmas present to you all...
The Set Up: My Dear Aunt Cheryl had us write a letter to ourselves...5 years into the future. i was 17 at the time. I'm now 22. Here is the letter in its entirety...

(before i even open it up...i wrote on the fold..."Whats up!?!?! are you married?"

Dear Future Michon,
I really hope you are passing school.And if your not, please tell me you have a family. You have a handsome husband and (future) beautiful children. I hope i am happier than i've ever been and have accomplished many goals. I hope you've traveled the world, fallen in love, and been to Africa. Hopefully you are planning on Law School or something in politics. You are strong. Have no regrets. Live life fully. Know who you are. Stay close to your family and keep skiing. Live in Sun Valley!I hope you have large amounts of friends. Is casey married? what college(s) did you go to? Did Duke ever accept you? Semester in Oxford. Have fun! love everyone and be a nicer person.

Dad Blog #2....**DISCLAIMER:NOT THE BIG BLOG**

OK...this is NOT the big blog i'm going to give you guys for christmas...but here is DAD BLOG #2...

Tonight I was going to make a christmas cd for my gma...and my dad is like...WAIT! Go look on my itunes and see the christmas stuff i have...i have good stuff...

As i look scanning through normal Bing, Ella, and Nat King i found this...

PLEASE LOOK AT THE HIGHLIGHTED TRACKS...



This is the Now Thats What I Call Christmas 3...Ne-yo...Rihanna...Pussycat Dolls...
This is a present in itself...i've never laughed so hard in my life

you cant dream up stuff like this. Now i think you should all look at your dad's itunes and see if Kanye or P.Diddy is on there...

dear reader(s?)

i have a great blog for you. honestly. its probably going to be my best.

just give me time. its a very emotionally draining blog. and seeing as its 1:44 am and i'm just now starting to study for my final tomorrow....it may take a few days for this one to come out. but it will. trust me. it will.

dad quote #1

i've been around my dad alot lately...more so than i ever have been in the past 3 years...and let me tell you something...he is friggin hilarious. i mean seriously...tonight i realized i need to start documenting what he says.
DISCLAIMER: THESE QUOTES...OUT OF CONTEXT MIGHT NOT MAKE SENSE...OR BE OFFENSIVE...BUT REALLY...THATS WHY THEY'RE FUNNY

a couple days ago my dad informed my mom and i he bought non-alcoholic champagne...which would be great...if any of us liked it...he then said
"What...its good...i like it...thats why i bought 12 bottles"
(my mom then yelled 12 BOTTLES!!!! about 15 times in the next 4 minutes)
is it possible to be a non-alcoholic alcoholic???

and tonights quote...
"sometimes i wonder if there is any justice in the world"
(he then said that this statement came after New England beat Baltimore in the last minute of the game... not after some great emotional soul searching trial)


needless to say...this is extremely entertaining
love you dad.

fakesgiving to snow

ok...so...its been awhile...BUT...i'll do a quick recap

***********

FAKESGIVING 2007 WAS A HUGE FREAKING SUCCESS!!!!....it really was the best yet...i cant wait till next year...or Fakes-mas...fakes navidad?....basically...i need suggestions from my very limited readership...but i believe you are the most creative bunch!!

***********

i've become the most stressed of my life....i really honestly had no idea i could ever be this stressed...and eat this little...if it wasn't for thanksgiving week...i might have died

***********

the lack of snow on thanksgiving made me seriously depressed...but alas...the snow gods picked up on that...so now....THERES 6 INCHES OUTSIDE!!! thank you snow gods...you knew i needed this...
i know some of you hate snow...but honestly...snow makes me beyond happy...i cant wait for the first night snowfall where the best moments happen...that perfect quietness that so many of you think i'm nuts for loving

***********

this writers strike has beyond ruined my life...and i'm only being mildly dramatic

***********

i love space heaters and hot tea....2 things i've forgotten how much i love till recently

christmas in 24 days
my birthday is in 25
