I blog a lot about how much I love my friends but here I go again! My whole life I have always had more guy friends than girls. I just think girls are so high maintenance, and difficult to deal with, so I never tried very hard to get close to them, with the exception of two.. Claudia and Diane. Claudia has been like a sister to me for the past 3/4 years. She is the one who I have had all my best experiences with, and the only girl I have told everything to. They both lived in Arizona and then moved a few years ago. I had a lot of trouble getting close to any girls after that because, in comparison they all sucked.  It was not until last summer that I really started investing in my relationships with girls. I have the most amazing ladies in my life right now! This is the first time since Claudia and Diane moved that if something bad happened a girlfriend would be the first person I called. Perhaps I am just picky about the people I really let in.. But If waiting is what it took to find such amazing people than It was worth it.

I love this... "Don't pity the girl with one true friend. Envy her. Pity the girl with just a thousand acquaintances." ---Katie Obenchain

Ryan: My Best Friend, Thoughtful, Handsome, Smile melts my heart, Soul Mate <3

Stacey: SO happy I met this girl! One of the most beautiful people I have met in Scottsdale (Inside and Out).

My Sister Rainie: I wish I was as strong as this girl. She is so smart, and I admire her drive and individuality.

Step Dad Rob: The way he loves my mom, is the reason I have such unattainable expectations in a partner. I love and cherish him forever.

Brian Clay Goose: One of my instant best friends. Can ALWAYS make me smile no matter how down I am. Will make some lucky girl VERY happy someday.

Step Mom Kay: One of the most pure hearts I have ever known.

My Dad: A hug from my dad is my most loved and safest feeling.

So many more but to these people today you are on my mind and I feel so lucky to have you in my life!

Cross Roads...

I am reaching a point where I really need to decide what I want out of my career. I spent 2005 - 2008 as a Technical Business Analyst, I worked as a liaison between software development and the Business. I loved that Job. I worked from home, traveled, and made great money. Then I did "marketing".. which was really getting paid to party for a few months, and flirt with prospective clients. Unfortunately, while that sounds like the perfect job, I needed mental stimulation. I missed putting in 15 hour days to implement a new software then seeing my clients productivity go up through the use of technology. I took the job at Apollo to finish my degree in Information Systems. Right now, I am managing a team of Sr. Systems Analysts. But, pretty much, I do statistical analysis and predictive modeling all day. Not my thing! As I am in the business world, I am learning what I want out of my dream job, and as I get discouraged here, I think I want to just stay home and be a mom. When I am happy and thriving in a position I am driven and unstoppable. Where I am today, I feel like I want to quit and never work again. My goal job for the past 5 years has been to be a CIO of a cutting edge technology company. While I think I am capable and it is attainable after half a decade in the industry,..

I am starting to wonder if I should be putting all my effort towards a goal that leaves me away from my future family and working for the "man" for the rest of my life. I think that getting my degree in technology is the smartest thing I can do because it is the most sustainable industry. Maybe I just need to focus my goal to more of a consultant type position rather that executive level. I am 24 years old, as I always say, I have one more year to be a mess, and then It's time to grow up. As I was driving home yesterday, I was thinking about the fact that my birthday is in 4 months and I think I started to freak out.

OH OH OH!! This is funny.... So as I'm having this "What shall I do with my life crisis" on my drive home, I decide that maybe a Burnett Misty would be more "mature" and "together". So, I drive to CVS buy hair dye and literally dye my hair brown. I am all excited thinking wow.. this is it! I solved all my problems with a $10.00 Box of hair dye. I get out of the shower, blow dry my hair.... ITS STILL PLATINUM BLONDE!!! HAHA. The universe likes me blonde with big boobs... maybe my true calling is a dancer. My name is Misty...?? ..NOOTTTTT

 Can we pretend that airplanes
In the night sky
Are like shooting stars
I could really use a wish right now (wish right now, wish right now)

I could use a dream or a genie or a wish
To go back to a place much simpler than this
Cause after all the partyin' and smashin' and crashin' And all the glitz and the glam and the fashion
And all the pandemonium and all the madness
There comes a time where you fade to the blackness
And when you're staring at that phone in your lap
And you hoping but them people never call you back
But that's just how the story unfolds
You get another hand soon after you fold
And when your plans unravel
And they sayin' what would you wish for
If you had one chance
So airplane airplane sorry I'm late
I'm on my way so don't close that gate
If I don't make that then I'll switch my flight
And I'll be right back at it by the end of the night

Ryan and I got Fragale'd

Every time that Ryan and I go out with Joe Fragale,.. we end up out until the sun comes up and always crashed out on Ryan's lawn. This is going to have to be our Christmas card next year. Misty Ryan and Titus laying in the piss filled fake grass at 8AM.. howww cuuteee! This weekend was out of control and I ended up so sick that I couldn't make it to work on Monday =( I plan to give myself a very long "Come to Jesus" talk tonight.

It's Friday and all I can think about is being at the W Pool with my friends and my boy!! This is going to be a great weekend!!

The Big Hole in the Ground!

Ry's Brother Eric came into town this weekend with his girl Alisha and their baby Cayden. We all went to the Grand Canyon and Sedona. Unfortunately, it was a holiday weekend so the traffic was insane and it was a little too much time in the car for my liking. The Grand Canyon is amazing but I still think Sedona is way more beautiful. Ryan's family is awesome, and their baby is seriously the cutest little guy in the world! Alisha and Eric are amazing parents and spending time with all of them made me realize how much I needed to grow up. I am infinitely amazed by how selfless parents are... especially these two. Give me a baby for an hour and I will have that kid smiling and I will give it my 100% attention the entire time...............

But give me a kid for a day and phew.. I am exhausted! Eric and Alisha give that baby 100% 24 hours a day 7 days a week.. and it makes me tired to even watch. I hope that when God decides it's time for me to be a mommy that I have the patience and selflessness that these two have! Traffic aside, I am glad that I went to the Grand Canyon, and that I went with such great people. P.S... THANK GOD it is a short work week because if I don't get some mojito/pool time I might die.. Literally!

NEW CAR!

Me in my new wheels! Love this thing.. I just want to drive around all day with the top down. Arizona is the perfect place for this car.. I'm a happy camper =)

Don't Rain on My Parade!

Today I pick up my new car! An Audi A4 Convertible. The whole process has been stressful, and today I am finally excited about it and "some people" feel the need to scream at me about what a bad decision I am making. AHHHH!!!! Honestly, there is no pleasing my father sometimes! 24 years old and I have still not outgrown the need to appease him. I must applaud my ability to not fight the pointless battle, but still not a fan of getting yelled at over a piece of metal. The men in my life need to take a serious chill pill. Yet ANOTHER argument I will internalize... two so far in one day.. Lord help me!

Side note: The last scene of Dumb and Dumber when that Hawaiian Tropics Van asks for oil boys.... The equivalent happened to me this morning... No Seriously... FML!!!!!

Martooney Time!

It is 3:49PM and the time is moving at record slow speeds! I can already taste my martini! I have got to figure out a way that I can give up working and spend the day by the pool sippin on mojitos. I would be sooo good at that job! I really think that I was meant to be rich and frivolous... it just comes so natural to me ;)

Sex and the City is a few hours!!

To my future Mr. Big.... Please don't propose to me with a shoe.. I still want the shoe.. but I also want a BIG HUGE SPARKLY DIAMOND!!!

HAHAHA... No.. But really...... :)

What every Girl Wants!!

Flowers JUST Because!! I am beeming today! =) I love my Ry!

Sometimes I forget just how lucky I am.. NOT TODAY!!!

ladee ladee daah!

Tomorrow is the Day!

I am going to see Sex and The City II with my favorite sexy lady.. my Mommy!!!!

I love what this show is about, it encourages woman to be gorgeous,  frivolous, promiscuous, shallow, and fearless! Can imagine a more perfect woman! haha

OK, Keri.. I'm listening to you!! =)

Crappy Lunch...

Today I met my best friend for lunch. I parked in an empty lot near the restaurant. I came out from lunch about 30 minutes later and my car was GONE! It had been towed to South Peonix.. the most sketchy area I have ever been to in Arizona. After driving 3o miles through little mexico, I finally found the place and they charged me $200 to get my car back!!! AHHHH!!!!

I thought it was appropriate that you could only talk to the towing people through a barred window.. They need all the freaking protection they can get!!... JERKS!! UGH!!!!! Bad Day.. I want to go home and pout now :(

POOL TIME <3

I really love summers in Arizona.. Beautiful People.. Gorgeous Weather.. and Pool Partys! This is the time of year where I really have to stay balanced and focus. The last two summers I partied way too hard. This summer... I will probably do the same but I like to pretend i have MUCH higher expectations for myself..

I have been thinking a lot about the people that have come and gone in my life.. and the seasons that I have been close to different people. I can really say that for the most part.. I feel like I have the most amazing people in my life right now.. and I only hope to always have people who I Love this much and I know love me around forever...

Of course, there are some I will always miss but I must say I am a lucky girl!

Off to class to learn about Computer Hardware... I love It! <3
