Family....it's always about time....



I’m really lucky, no blessed to have the family that I have right now. I have a wonderful relationship with my birth father and that will always be the case. I just wanted to take this moment to say how grateful I am for my adopted family. I love them so much, and for all the love they have given me, and support they have bestowed upon me… I can’t imagine who I would be without them. I just love them all… my parents, siblings, aunts, uncles, cousins, and grandparents…. They are part of my world. It’s a nice feeling … love of a family.

Come here for a minute




Come here for a minute, well it might take longer than that, but come here.
I want to tell you something. I want to tell you every truth I’ve ever known about me. Every truth and every lie, all the things that I’ve never told anyone before; I want to tell you.
I want to show you something. The scar on my elbow and I'll tell how I got it, the one on my shoulder that no one's seen before.  I want to show you the cut that I got on my heart that someone else put there when they left me behind.  I want to show you the person I am who not many people have had the chance to meet. Hold my hand, hold me close; listen to everything I have to say, look at me, see me and stay right here… Right here …right here next to me when I’m done sharing and stay…

OneRepublic - Secrets



there are no such things as secrets, it's just something that we tell ourselves to help us think that the little things we think we are hiding will be hide. Secrets are our comfort, they are part of the disguise that we cloak ourselves in. Pretending that something isn't what it is, and something else is.... a secret is just a lie we tell ourselves when we rather have a lie than the truth.


secrets secrets are no fun, secrets secrets hurt someone...

Sometimes.....

Sometimes…..

Sometimes I give more than I get
I smile when I want to cry
I listen and nod when I want to say, “You’re full of  *crap”
Say please and thank you when someone doesn’t deserve the courtesy
Laugh, even though what I think was said, wasn’t funny at all…
I’m nice to people who were mean to me
I love people who don’t love me
Compliment people who’ve insulted me
Sometimes I fake it
Sometimes I’m fake

okay.. so I haven't been the best at keeping at this blog.. remember that one time I promised to write everyday for the rest of the year? yeah, I'm sorry about that. nevertheless... I'm going to be better.. I need something to keep me busy.. and what could be a better way, than TWO BLOGS?!?! That's right, I'm going to have another blog.. a funny one.. well, sometimes it will be funny..
You see, I send these random texts to my friends, and they're called " Dear Body" and well, one day, we were like, " Oh, Michelle, this should be a book..." and I was like, " Oh my goodness, I'd make MILLIONS!! " and then I thought, oh hmmm... a blog would be better. I've been so lazy at blogging ( Sorry Charlotte, but at least I admitted it) that I forgot everything about blogging.. So my wonderful sister is going to help me with the banner and the background.. Anyways, I just wanted to give everyone a heads up.. Coming to your pc in the next few days.. " Dear Body"  I hope you'll love it!

State Farm Car Insurance... I don't like you right now.. not one bit


Dear State Farm in Orem UT, the Bob Clark Office,



State Farm came HIGHLY recommend to me by friends in North Carolina, and in fact I’ve used State Farm in North Carolina before and loved them, which is why I chose you guys again as I have since decided to purchase a new car and wanted to have different insurance. Apparently, there in the Great State of North Carolina customer service is provided and I’ve learned that here in Utah, you guys must not care at all; or, maybe you could just give a rats behind.
I called you guys a few weeks ago for the paper work I would need to have proof of insurance in my car, that was the same time as I paid my bill. You guys verified the address with me on the phone, which is the same address where my bill comes promptly to my mailbox, but still I have no proof of insurance. I called you guys on Saturday and left a message, this morning you called me and said that you sent the paper work to an address **** N *** E, um, that is NOT my address, and yet the lovely lady, Doreen who called me back claims that, that address is the one that you have on file for me. Um, what you should’ve done was tell the truth. The lady on the phone said she would mail and email it to me, and then dismissed me. I would’ve been fine with an apology and an, “ We’ll make sure that gets mailed out today.” I am not happy with being dismissed!
No I’m sorry; I’M NOT A HAPPY CUSTOMER. I called back and left a message for Grant to call me back. Now Grant you were so eager beaver to get my money, but you didn’t feel it was appropriate to make sure that the person that gives y’all money for her insurance was a satisfied customer. All you had to do, was remedy the situation, apologize for YOUR mistake, and by doing so remove the distain that I now feel for State Farm insurance in UTAH COUNTY, ( as North Carolina, you’re still okay in my book.) What you said was, well, I’ll email you one, is there anything else I can do? And when I said, No, I’m just not happy with the service that I was given, you said. “Okay Bye” and hung up the phone!
Now with internet an every growing source of information and social networking sites the way that they are in the year 2010, do you really think that it was a good idea to treat a new customer the way you did. Now I’ve been told to find a new insurance company to go with… and I’ve thought about it these past few hours as I am still a bit hot about the way you chose to dismiss my concerns.
I don’t have the most costly of insurance with you guys… I was testing you out, do I really want to spend a lot of money on an insurance company that fails to send me the paper work I need. I mean SERIOUSLY, what if I was to need a claim filed? Would I get the same treatment as I have with something so small as proof of insurance papers? State Farm in Utah County. YOU FAILED!!
I believe in customer service, I believe in treating people fairly. I am not pleased with you guys at all. Your customer service in all fairness SUCKS.

Sincerely,
Michelle L.
Utah

THIS IS MY LIFE

There is no use trying, said Alice; one can't believe impossible things. I dare say you haven't had much practice, said the Queen. When I was your age, I always did it for half an hour a day. Why, sometimes I've believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast.

I am the queen and this is my year, and nothing, NOTHING is impossible
