Alright, next time you restart, hold Alt and then that should let you choose your Mac hard drive as the boot item.

Once you get into OS X, go to the System Preferences and then into Startup Disk. Make sure that you have the hard drive set as the boot target.

The folder with the ? means that the computer can't find a boot loader.
As TheStu said check to make sure your hard drive is set as the boot device.
If it is your hard drive may be corrupted or bad and you should probably take your MacBook in for service.
