Farewell 2010...

New Chapters, New Characters, Yet Nick Remains The Same...But Smarter, Wiser, More Love To Share, Forgiving, And Forgetting.

I will not burden 2011 with 2010's issues. I will say that I am evolving. I am growing. I am learning. I am making no promises for 2011 except living my life. That's all I can ask for myself.

I hope 2011 brings you joy, love, hope and peace.

All the best for an amazing year.

Nick xoxo

p.s Look out for MANY blogs for 2011, 2010 I didn't blog much. Well it's a new day and I have to get back to writing. It's my release, it's my novel, it's just who I am. I look forward to sharing this journey we call life with you.

Change is coming...

Some people may not like what I have to say in my blog, but let me make things very clear. This is my blog. I share my world with you, if you don't like it or are offended. I suggest you hit the red X in the top right corner. You've been warned. I will not be censored, especially when I am speaking my mind, on MY BLOG.

Now that we have that cleared up, enjoy your regularly scheduled blog... =)

Summer of 2010 is slowly coming to an end. I honestly don't mind. Everyone knows that fall is my favorite time of year.

Brisk air, sweaters, boots, falling leaves, cider and hot donuts at the Apple Orchard, snuggling, twilight at its best and so on...

This has been a pretty good summer.

I have accomplished alot of things that I needed too. I am getting healthier.

Physically and Mentally.

1st. I quit smoking (I do have an occasional hit or 2)
2nd. I am eating better.
3rd. I am taking my Pro Metric soon (CNA Licensing)
4th. I am weeding out the negative things and people in my life.
5th. I need to get a control on my finances. (ya'll know I love to shop)

That little list has really been hard for me. In all aspects, especially because some of those things are things that I have needed for so long. They were my clutch, my vice, my weakness.
I had to let go. The only person that all those things were affecting were Me. I was the person holding myself back. Now that I've made these changes in my life, My future is for my writing, for my book. My book called life.

I guess it's true. Age brings wisdom.

In the very near future, some people (past and present) are going to be getting a letter from yours truly. Some may say it's my way of avoiding confrontation or wimping out and not telling the person face to face. Well for most they know I wear my emotions on my face and they feel they can take advantage of that. Plus when I write things down, I get my point accross without interruption. Plus I feel some people aren't worth the time or effort. They can read it over and over.

Like the Title says, Change is coming. Be it good or bad. I am looking it dead in the eyes and moving forward.

Friday the 13th has me feeling fearless...

Ciao,
Nick xoxo

Baby T, Yard Work, Tans, New Music and Puppies, OH MY...

Can we say it's been a hectic few weeks???

Well lets start with the birth of Tyler David Alderman. OMG! What a night, Mike and I had just finished working on the yard and I was fresh from the shower when Melissa Ann calls me and says "GET READY LIZ'S WATER BROKE!!" I was like WHHHHHAT. So Melissa and Erika pick me up and we were on our way. We wanted to stop at the Mt. Clemens carnival to get elephant ears, but we figured it wasn't the right time. LOL. We made sure we had everything we needed except the things we actually needed. Like camera, cigs and something to drink. We stopped and got snacks, cigs and drinks. We all had camera phones and Melissa's husband was bringing everything else. After along wait and somethings that are not my business to share, Tyler was born. May 29, 11:35 pm we wished Tyler a very Happy Birthday. He is absolutely amazing. Cutest new addition to our little family. Welcome to Michigan Tyler. LOL!

Back to the yard work. Mike and I are moving in together this Winter and we started some of the changes we wanted to make to the house. We started with the landscaping. It was a terrible mess before we (I,lol) got in there. Mikes dad has not been up to par for sometime so he was unable to maintain it, well we got in there and destroyed it. In a good way of course. We pulled out like 9 bushes, LOTS of weeds, old plants, moved Hostis (sp?), planted many things, used 18 bags of mulch and fixed and opened the sprinkler system. Of course we picked the hottest day of the month to do it. I was sweating like a whore in church. LOL. I got so much sun (my tan looks amazing). After we got finished it looked like a completely different place. We did awesome. I was soo proud of us. We did it without any fights or disagreements. That's a first for me, my ex would have complained the whole time and made it not worth it. Mike and I work really well together. I appreciate it! I cant wait til we re-do the inside. That is going to be fun.

Last weekend was AWESOME! We had such a good time with everything we did. We seen people we love very much, we bbq'ed, finished Season 2 of True Blood. OMG! I love that show. We went to see Sex And The City, I was very disappointed with it. Aubu-Daubi? Loubitons? and No Sex, SERIOUSLY? It was like watching a bad episode. Which in my opinion there were no bad episodes. I will NOT be buying that on DVD. It was a waste of money, hopefully if they do a part 3, that it will be better than the 2.5 hours of my life I'll never get back. So disappointed. On a better note, I did get to do some shopping. I got some pretty sweet deals. I got 2 frames at Target (my all time favorite store) that were 29.99 for 4.50 each. WOWZA! They will look super cute on the mantel in the house.

I've been listening to alot of new artist and some old. I recommend you go and listen to these artist and buy their music.

This Sunday is Motor City Pride. I'm really excited to go. Hopefully it wont rain and ruin it. Plus I really want some new sunglasses from the street vendors.

Hope you enjoyed some of the pictures from the last week or so.

Remember: Love is patient, love is kind.

Just another day...

Well folks I am a Certified Nursing Assistant.

I have to go to school Monday and pick up my certificate, then once the state contacts me, I will take my state board. THEN I will be a Licenced Certified Nursing Assistant.

Ross~ Rossell, The class clown, The Jock, Stephanie's "Daddy", The Other Dude In The Class, Kitten.
Bonnie~ Connie, Salutatorian, Honey, Kitten, Miss Perfect, Miss Perfect and oh yea Miss Perfect.
Stephanie~ My School BFF, Step On Me, Burnout, Valedictorian, Kitten.
Me~ CLASS QUEEN OF COURSE, Daves Future Wife, Kitten and also PERI CARE QUEEN.

Connie~ Bonnie, Mama Cat, Teacher, AJ Langer, Daves EX (lol) and MA'AM!

You guys helped me more than you will ever know. I appreciate each and everyone you! My experience would not have been worth it without you guys!!!

I am so proud of myself. I didn't think I would be this happy, but the Lord guided me to the goal and I did it! I DID IT!

Ok, enough about school. I have to post some of the funniest things I've heard this week. They totally made my week. Some of the things I am going to post were said to me and others. But well worth writing. Enjoy.

I was called "Donut"

"Who would want to be seen with him"

I met a girl who I thought was named Menagerie, her name ended up being Nemaganary. Either way it's still funny.

"Honey, don't talk so much"

I was touched with a urine drenched washcloth. YUCK! And yes, I screamed like a little girl. LOL

"You're so nice and sweet. You're so DUMB!"

"You know what honey? I don't like you, you're nice"

"It doesn't pay rent so it's gotta get out" (farting)

Das-Is-Hiss translates to "That's Hot"

Liebs It translates to "Loves It"

"I'll KICK YOUR ASS"

At times I thought some of these things would make me pee my pants. Totally made my days and nights.

I have to add a little "chapter" for my old phone number. 586-864-6768 you will be missed. I've had that number for almost a decade. I said good-bye this week. I got a Blackberry. I have to admit, I am addicted! I never thought a phone number would make me a little sad. It's kinda like when I sold my Neon, it was always there for me. It's bittersweet though, I have a number that makes ALOT of sense to me (if you can understand that). Plus it was time I let go of the past and start new. So goodbye 586-864-6768, I will certainly miss you. LOL

Now, I have to get things in gear. Mike graduates in 28 days. He'll be starting his new career, I'll be starting mine. We will be starting our new life together officially early next year. No sillies we are not getting married (well not yet). We will be moving in together. We are building the foundation for our future. OH and yes we will be having a HUGE PARTY! Huge! Huge like Dolly Partons Tits. Yes, that huge. LOL!

I have so many plans for this up-coming summer. I'm actually excited it's almost here. I am hoping and praying that the weather is exactly like last years. As my old blog stated, last summer was the best summer of MY LIFE (thus far). BBQs, swimming, CAMPING (in a cabin of course), campfires, spending time with the people I love the most, Shiffy's 4th of July Party, S'MORES!, and all the other exciting things I hope happen. PLUS, I'm getting the CUTEST bathing suit, it has SUNGLASSES all over it. TOT-ALLY CANT WAIT! Ya'll know I am OBSESSED with shades.

I would also like to add, this Earth lost to amazingly lovely woman this month. Sheri P and Delores C. I hope the heavens are treating you well and that your pain and suffering is something of the past. My love goes to your family and friends. Rest In Peace.

So back to my old schedule, now I have to get my resume out there and work toward my future. I am blessed, that's the only word I can really think of when it comes to my life. Blessed.

I want to say thank you again for all the support and love you have all shared with me over the last month. Your encouraging words pushed me 10x harder. Thank You! I love you all.

To my man, my besties, my family, my friends, my new friends, THANK YOU!

Signed,
Nick the hottest CNA you will ever meet!

The New Official Home Of My Blog.

What if the Facebook wave crashes like Myspace did?

I would have to re-start my blog again.

That my friends is a pain in the ass.

I forgot that I had made this account along time ago. So today starts the new home for my blog. No more uprooting it from it's friends, no more new schools and no more moving period. I want my blog to grow old in 1 spot. LOL!

Nothing will change. I may use less swear words, I am getting older and it's not cute saying "Fuck" everyother sentence. But you will still get pictures and amazing stories. No worries, nothing has changed, just the location.

Now onto my blog.

I have 2 days of school left. Then I have 4 days of clinicals. I can't believe how fast it's gone. It feels like I just started. I've learned so much. The first few days were very questionable. I knew that I could do the work, I have a good study habit and I am dedicated. It all changed the 1st day when we all found out we were in an excellerated class. I thought it was going to be a 16-18 day course with 4 days of clinicals. We were all misinformed. My schedule was 10 days in class and 4 days of clinicals. I thought "How am I going to do this?" "Am I really going to learn anything in 10 days?" Let me tell you, it was hard. I did it though. My grade average is like a A~B+ and my grade point average is 3.664. Almost a 4.0. Not to shabby for someone who hasnt been in school in almost 12 years. I can honestly say I am proud of myself. I thank you all for the encouraging words and all the extra help that has been offered.

It's funny how time flies. It truly does. One day you're imaging what you will be when you grow up and next thing you know it's all different. I always thought I would be some socialite, partying all over the world, shopping everywhere and living off some old man. (You know, kinda like Anna Nicole except the whole death thing). But here I am, almost 30 and finally starting my life. Honestly, Im blessed to the way my life has started. I just have to continue striving to better my life and the people around me. Im not perfect (close, LOL), if you didnt read my old blog my montra is "Im not perfect, Im perfectly flawwed". You like it, dont'cha? I am made exactly the way Im supposed to be. (IDEA) (SIDEBAR) That quite possibly will be my next tattoo. Things that make ya go hmmmmm?

Ok, well I have to get back to studying. I just wanted to to introduce my new blog home to you all. I'll post the link when I do a blog.

2 more days.....

Have a lovely day,

Nick xxoo
