As I was getting ready to drive out to the burbs for work to go to a store, I happened to be watching Tim Gunn's Guide to Style on Bravo.  And I love him so much I decided to stop and write about it :)

I first met and fell in love with Tim on Project Runway.  He is HYSTERICAL (and he doesn't mean to be, he just is).  He also is almost always in a 3 piece suit and looks impeccable.  He uses words that I have not one clue what they mean, and he uses them all the time.... to fashion designers... who all look equally confused (he would say I'm completely baffled).  And when he gives a compliment, he can't just say.... "wow that's awesome".  He says, "I have to assert that this is fabulous."  haha, what an AWESOME way to compliment someone!!  I have to assert that I ADORE TIM GUNN!  He's more well known for saying "Make it Work!"... but he says SO much more than that people.  He almost every episode also says.... "This worries me."

Now what inspired me to take time from getting ready to write this??  Well, he's once again in a 3 piece suit looking totally fab.... and he's helping a girl get a new look.  So he brings her to Bill Blass (SOOOOOO jealous) and she tries on a BEAUTIFUL tan trench coat and when she comes out he says..... "I have one word..... SUBLIME."   hahahahhaa, I literally lost it.  Ahhhh how I love him.  I am now going to start using the word sublime at least 4 times a week.  And you should too.  Also try complimenting people by starting with... "I have to assert".  It's fun :)

And remember to steer clear of the leggings and hoodies to make Tim Gunn happy!

Hey guys... I really haven't written in here in awhile.  I don't know if anyone even reads this anymore... probably not, but I'll write anyway :)

So I got a job shortly after I wrote the last blog.  I'm a marketing specialist for Randa Accessories... a men's accessories company.  It's pretty cool, I've been doing it for almost 7 months now.  I go around to a bunch of different stores and do the visual displays, merchandising, and stock reports, etc.  I like it for now :)

I also just started teaching 2 classes at my old school.  I'm teaching Introduction to fashion merchandising and Business Communications.  It's only 2 nights a week, but I like it so far (I should insert here thatI've only been teaching a week so far :) ). 

I got to go to my Florida home for Christmas break, which was so nice since I hadn't been there since LAST Christmas!  Dane baby came in the day after Christmas and stayed for about a week.  Jenny's boy toy came in too, it was a lot of fun.  UNTIL December 29th when I sprained my ankle :(  I was playing basketball (knock out) and I tried to jump stop and shoot... and well I did jump stop... sideways on my ankle... which is not a cankle.  And what did I cry about?  A. Having a cankle.  B.  Not being able to wear heels. C.  Not being able to move.  NOW I can't work at my normal job until I get a doctor's note saying I can work again because they don't want me working and getting worse so they're held liable.  SO I am Boooooorrrrreeeeddddd out of my mind!!!

I thought when I started working that I'd be fine with staying home... cause I didnt wanna work.  haha NOW... I think I'll keep working.  It might be different if could walk and do stuff!!  Cause now I have to sit at home at keep my ankle iced and up!!

Nothing else new is really going on now.  I'm going to try to go bore myself to sleep.  I've already read one book today, cleaned my apartment, dyed my hair, and cooked dinner.  Thats like 3 days worth of stuff!  But tomorrow I am going to visit my lovely and gorgeous friend Katie Nester and her absolutely beautiful and ADORABLE child, Cale.  Seriously, one of the cutest kids Ive ever seen.  Plus he's soooo sweet.  He's always laughing and smiling and he HUGS you!!! awwwww, it's so cute.  He leans in and puts his little chubby arms around you and you want to die!  He's a doll.  I can only hope my kid is as good a baby.... I'm not pregnant.  That sounded like I was.  NO BABIES HERE kids.   When I'm 30, we'll discuss it.  For now, I'll just gloat over my friends kids :) 

Oopsie.  I haven't written in here for a while :)  hehe, welp here's whats been going on:

A.  I'm finishing school in June... weeeeee (ner).
B.  I'm looking for a job, if you know of one, give it to me (thats what she said)
C.  I'm doing my internship at Bloomingdale's
D.  I don't have time to breathe cause I am busy ALL day EVERYDAY :(

It's true.  I am up at about 8 everyday, which isn't too early, but I don't get home til the earliest maybe 6:45 or so usually.  And I don't have ONE day off.  I have Bloomingdale's Monday and wednesday and sometimes Fridays from 10-5 (it takes me an hour or so to get both ways).  Then school from 10-5 on Tuesdays and Thursdays.  Then I work friday-Sunday to make money so I can live. 

This Thursday I helped out at our school's fashion show, Imagine.  It was a lot of fun.  It was a LONG day.  We got there at 9 am then didn't leave til about 9:30.  I was a dresser in the back.  It is SOOOO hectic back stage for fashion shows.  Just lots of really pretty, tall, mostly naked models running around.  A straight man's dream, right?  AND I got to walk on the runway!!!!!  It was a HUGE show too :)  It was in Union Station... which is the largest train station in Chicago.  In the grand hall, which is gorgeous.  It was pretty cool, we all got to walk out at the end.  I felt like a supermodel... even though I shared the stage with like 20 other people and it was quick and I couldn't see anything and I am 5'2.  But besides that, it was real glamorous :)

ANYWAY it fun news... during down time at Bloomingdale's today I played MASH BY MYSELF (what, I'm cool!).  I'd like to share my choices.  Oh and I changed it to MCSH... cause everyone has condos now, not apartments. 

SO for the hubby I chose (in this order) 1. Jim Halpert 2. Dane baby 3. Jack Bauer 4. John Locke  (I do realize 3 out of 4 are fictional). 
Then for their jobs I chose 1. doctor 2. CTU agent 3. Second in command and a small paper company 4. kicking ass.  
Other categories are boring.  I mean kids... 1234, honeymoon?  Mexico, Jamaica, Greece, Italy.  cars, blah blah blah.  HOWEVER when I was choosing places to live I HONESTLY didn't want to choose anywhere else but Chicago.  I love it here.  However, I did choose LONDON BABY, NYC, and Boston (only cause I want to go to Fenway SOOO much... it's expensive there). 
So this is how my life ends up...  I marry Dane baby (what are the chances, it was between him and Jim... I was torn :) ).  We live in a condo.  He's a CTU agent, I'm a fashion show director, we have 2 kids we honeymoon in Greece, I drive a mini-cooper, and we have a kitten (something Dane would actually NEVER allow) and we live in CHICAGO :) :) :) 

I do love this city, everyone should come visit.  It is AWESOME.  Like right now, my internet and cable are temporarily out of service and I'm at a cute wireless cafe hookah bar around the corner eating hummus.  Life is good.  I like that I don't NEED to go out on a Friday... actually I hate it haha.  I like to stay home and watch my tivo, clean, and go to bed early.  SO SUE ME :) 

OK that's all, I've turned into such a dweeb, but whatever, it's fine.  THATS LIFE :)  Love ya kids

I'm still going to write about 24.  And I'll tell you why: its awesome.  I'll tell you another reason why: JACK BAUER.  ANYWAY this week rules.  if you don't want to know... don't read this.  Anyway, AUDREY IS DEAD!!!  Why?!?!?!?!?  I'm SOOOO sad :(  Jack is so sad, if only he knew I'm sitting here waiting for him to find me. I wish Buchanan or Chloe would let him know.  I guess they're busy with the bombs... lame excuse. 

In other TV news, Lost is finally getting good again.  it's about time.  My second love, Locke, is back and it's all about him this week.  Watch and love.  We FINALLY learn about the wheelchair!!  I'm so excited I can hardly breathe :)

NEXT I wish The Office would be new again, I hope Roy doesn't kill Jim.  And i hope Jim finally dumps Karen, she annoys me.  PAM AND JIM FOREVER!!

NOW your probably wondering... does Jessica's life consist of anything other than tv?  And the answer is... NO.  I love it, I love tivo, and Im ok with that. 

I TOTALLY FORGOT ABOUT MARCH MADNESS :)  In which I am doing AWESOME.  I've only lost 5 games, and come on, everyone lost Wisconsin.  And who even picked Vanderbilt?  Unless you went there I mean.  But I'm totally whooping up on everyone cause I'm awesome :) 

Ok Jack Bauer doesn't have a shirt on= best day of my life.  Gotta go.

I love Jack Bauer.  24 is awesome.  Why I watched Smallville instead, I'll never know.  I mean, so the guy is cute on the outside, he's not sexy and a badass like Jack Bauer.  If Jack asked me to marry him I'd say no until he tortured me into saying yes.  Is that weird?  Perhaps.  But I love him all the same. 

This season of 24 totaly rules.  I won't say what happens so I don't ruin it for anyone.  BUT I WILL say THIS: Jack Bauer kicks some totally booty.  Well DUH.  And even though Chloe is annoying I love her.  I miss Kim Bauer, she ruled.  And Audrey.  I can only hope they will be back.  I miss the old president too.  Not the creeps one from last season, David Palmer.  BUt I actually do miss the old one and his crazy wife.  I most of all miss Aaron... awww Aaron.  JACK RULES, Im watching it now and he's being awesome.  Duh.  As usual.  OK well enough about Jack.  Well I'll never be able to say enough about him.... OH MY GOSH he's near a bomb... if it kills him I will kill myself!!!  OK... gotta go.  Love ya.
