  • For the last time

    I ended it.

    He didn't "approve" of my spending habits.

    He couldn't understand why I wanted to go out on a nice date.

    I can't handle this right now.

    And he's not getting another chance.

    Ever.

    Don't tell me how to live my life. I'm 20 years old. At least I am willing to wake up, get out, and live.

    We are not guaranteed a tomorrow- live it up, don't let anybody tie you down, and party hard.

    Here's to a new life, and new opportunities in Indianapolis.

    6 more days.

  • For the Fab 4

    These four are my siblings. They keep me smiling and laughing even when I really don't want to. When I move one week from today, I am going to go to an apartment all by myself- no dogs- and it's going to be really hard. I can't afford my own animal right now, but it's great to know that I can always come home to these guys!

  • Yesterday in a nutshell

    -The Boyfriend got me tickets to the opening of Lucas Oil Stadium for August 16th. {Thrilled beyond all reason}

    -Jake {The assistant manager at AE who trained me} quit

    - "Scarf me, Chris!"

    -"Chris can take me bra shopping any time he wants!"

    -Olive Garden for dinner with Mom and her friends Jenny and Kim.

    -Kim {Who's never been to Olive Garden before after hearing somebody get sang to for their birthday}-"Jessi, they need to sing to you!"

    -Our waitress picks up that I am getting ready to move, so I got sang to. Nearly killed Kim.

    -Jenny and her adorable little daughter Sadie got me a tool box for my apartment. Sadie {Who's almost 2} decorated it for me. It's three kinds of adorable, let me tell you.

    Going to spend the day with The Boyfriend at his house and then we're going to see The Dark Knight tonight.

    For all you Twilight lovers out there, I did just pre order my copy of Breaking Dawn. I think I might go to the party thing, too, that they're going to have from 10 until midnight. Mom and Dad will be at the apartment with me, so I probably wont get to go.

    I'm out for the morning. Once the mail comes, I'm headed to spend some time with my honey!

  • A week and a half before I move...

    and things decide all of a sudden to take a turn for the worse.

    Hunter, my 4 year old Bernese Mountain Dog, is dying.

    My parents can't talk to me anymore without yelling or making me feel guilty about all the money they have willingly spent on this apartment.

    It's starting to hit me hard that I am leaving.

    Not a day goes by that I am not scheduled at work or called in, and if I don't go in, Mom fusses at me. I've worked for the last five days straight. I work today as well, with one day off tomorrow, and then Thursday I work again.

    There are people at work that are completely stupid and I always somehow manage to get scheduled with them. {When I get in to school, I am going to somebody about finding me something in a law firm.}

    All of this, plus PMS, is making me severely cranky.

    And I REALLY took it out on Jeff last night. He said one thing about wanting to do something and BAM! So we got in this huge fight, leading me to loose my temper for no reason other than the fact I wasn't getting what I wanted.

    So I called him to appologize, Mom pops her head in the room running her mouth because she doesn't know when not to stay out of my situations {I was handling myself just fine.}, and that just made everything worse. 

    Managed to talk it out with him, and everything is better. He'll be over here in an hour with some sort of surprise for me that I don't deserve after last night.

    Today is going to be better...God willing. I just need to get through this whole thing and then I will be ok.

    I'm out for the morning. I need some breakfast.

  • The "art" of language and how not to use it

    Shit. Damn. Hell. Ass.

    Four words that I use on a daily basis. Since I have been with the Boyfriend, my use of these words has decreased significantly, and I have learned to better watch my language. They still slip every now and then, but I have certainly became better about when and how I use them.

    F*ck.

    I have been known to use this word, but never in front of anybody. It bothers me to hear it come out of people's mouth's in social situations.

    N*****

    A word I will never ever EVER use. A word that you will NEVER hear come out of my mouth, because I have to much respect for the human race. It bothers me to hear anybody...and I mean ANYBODY use this word.

    And tonight, with my 10 month old cousin present, myself present, my boyfriend {who doesn't cuss}, and the rest of the family present, my uncles and my own father used this word in so much excess and talked with so much hate, I feared my ears would soon bleed, and I felt myself go red with embarrassment. I wanted to shove cotton in Nate's ears so he couldn't hear the cruelty being spoken around him. Jen, Nate's mom, got terribly offended as well, and I agree with her.

    No child should be raised around such racist people. I will teach my children and the children around me that it does not matter race, creed, sexuality, spirituality, sex, ect. We are all humans and all have a right to live and breath, and exist in this great world. We all have beating hearts, and breathing lungs, and tummies to be filled. We can all smile and laugh and cry and think. We are all capable of loving, and working, and dreaming.

    Had it been my child in that room, my hand would have come in some painful contact with some faces, I tell you.

    Thoughts? Comments? Questions?

  • THANK GOD I AM TRANSFERRING

    With the onset of a new manager in at the AE store I am currently employed at, I have discovered a few things-
    a) he's a pretty nice guy
    b) he dresses pretty well
    c) he cares about the well being of our store
    and this is the biggie-
    d) HE CAN'T READ A REQUEST OFF OR AVAILABILITY SHEET TO SAVE HIS SOUL

    First part of July, I filled out a new availability sheet- times when I could and couldn't work. With my big move being so close, I wanted Tuesdays and Thursdays off to spend a little time with my boyfriend before we were subjected to an 1 hour and 1/2 drive to do so instead of the typical 15 minutes.  My grandmother also has Sunday dinner at 5:00 every week, so I stated that I could not work after 4 on Sundays.

    Since filling this out, I have had maybe 1 Tuesday off, and the only Thursday I had off had to be fixed because I was scheduled to work that day and it was Jeff's birthday. They also had to give away the hours I was scheduled to work last Friday and Saturday, due to the fact that I had requested off for them in MAY due to me being in a wedding.

    Long day at work, but Jeff and I are going swimming at Gram's here in a few minutes, so that should ease the hell of it all. I was supposed to have a lunch...that I didn't get...so I got to leave 20 minutes early, and escaped the dreaded jelly bean for not having any credit applications.

    I am ready to move for the sole purpose that I want to start at my new store and not have to deal with the idiots at this one. My last day I TOLD THEM is July 28th.

    Mark it on your calenders. The way they work, I will probably be scheduled July 29th.

    Will I go in?

    Um, no.

  • How did you meet your spouse or significant other?

    Funny yet rather cute story.

    He graduated a year ahead of me in high school, and I knew who he was because he had been student help for a Chem class I was in my Junior year.

    About a month and a half ago, May 28th to be exact, I was just surfing Facebook when I got a friend request from him. I added him, thinking nothing about it, but then he messaged me on there. We started talking, the convo moved to an IM, and suddenly BAM! I asked him to coffee, and he took it and ran.

    We had a 10 hour long first date on May 30th, and even tho we have hit some rough patches along the way, we are still together.

       

    I just answered this Featured Question, you can answer it too!

  • 16 days until I have my own thermostat!

    The projected forecast for today said that it will reach 93 degrees. The weatherman exclaimed with a smile, "Get your shorts and sunscreen ready!"



    Well, my dear weatherman, you do not live with the snow queen. My mother {who is currently at work, mind you} has our thermostat set on a brisk 50 degrees. So while the rest of the area is preparing to sweat their bums off, I am sitting in my living room clad in a hoodie, jeans, socks, and warm teddy bear slippers that have miraculously survived since my Gatlinburg trip this past March. I am waiting for snowflakes to fall.



    Oh, and if I were to make even the slightest adjustment to the temperature what so freaking ever, she would know, and I would see what Dad describes as the equivalent to three kinds of hell.

    16 days until I can walk around my own apartment without having to dress like I am preparing for a snow storm.

  • Another softball game, and they won this time! Yay!


    {Photoshopped this one for him...I love it!}


    {Jeff and his best friend Micah...the dynamic duo}


    {I love his eyes in this one}


    {Stepping up to the plate}


    {On the way to dinner!}


    {Adorable picture of The Boyfriend and I}


    {Loser...he missed my head}


    {And then he got me!}


    {And finally, an adorable picture of Jeff's friend Rick's son Elijah}

    Good times tonight at the softball game. Let me tell you- I have never been so proud of Jeff in my life. He played so good! I got to meet his dad and everything, and then after the game {They won 13-7!} we went to Sonic for some food and milkshakes. Almost had a heart attack when they got my milkshake order wrong and brought out a cream pie shake {I ordered a chocolate cream pie shake}. It looked like it was banana, so I made Jeff taste it, because I can't have bananas anymore due to my latex allergy. {Long story.}

    Ok, it's late, and I'm out of here. :Leave me some love to wake up to!

    <3 Jess N.
