Game Night Pictures
So here are the pictures of the game last night. I was way to wasted to tackle "attachments" and what not last night so I apologize for the delay.
Happy Friday!!
Wake Yo Ass Up
The game was fun. I have pictures to prove it but they're not on my person right now - trust me -- it was fun. We had tickets for "box seats", which I'd seen on TV, but had NO IDEA what that actually meant! It means I was shacked up in a fancy schmancy suite with open windows, free food,drinks, and friendly service - to the point of open mouthed gawking on my part. I_was_over_whelmed. It was SO MUCH FOOD: M&Ms, popcorn, sausage, veggies and dip, chips, dip, etc.
So today I'm a tad hung over. The fancy schmancy soccer suite didn't do me in - but the hanging out after the game in the parking lot did. Needless to say I'm a little fuzzy today at work. I so didn't want to get out of bed this morning-- and my loving boyfriend
insisted on singing
"the wake-up song". (THE WAKE UP SONG OF PURE MURDEROUS HELL. ) It is a funny song when you're not actually sleeping - but when you ARE sleeping, and you DO have a hang over, it makes me want to grab my Victoria Secret Nail polish and use it's appropriately pointed lid to stab him in the throat - therefore ceasing the singing of the wake-up song.
The Wake Up Song

Wake yo ass up
Wake yo ass up
Wake yo as up and rise and
shine!Wake yo ass up
Wake yo ass up
Open(!) yo mu-fuckin
eyes!(Repeat)
THIS ladies and gentlemen is sung, purposely, off key - and loud.
I had a baby too.....
I've been spending an enormous amount of time with my best friend Holly's new born
baby over the last week and a half. I can't stop thinking about him and thanks to
Cory I now know that's because of the
Saturn Return Theory.
(If you find yourself in your late twenties, questioning life, read that there little link. It's interesting.) I regularly find myself wading in overflowing love for my little Beaneroonie (
my gag-me-with-a-spoon nick name for baby) and being uncontrollably jealous of Holly because I want my fucking baby with a house and a God damn picket fence too, damn it!
Eh hem...scuse me...
But alas I have none of these fine things and to make my baby/Saturn timeline stretch even further - I'm now a student - and will be for what seems like a period of time that measures just short of ETERNITY! However, I am comforted by the fact that my eggs have not yet shriveled up and turned in to little raisin egg babes, I do have my Beaneroonie to kiss on, and I have this....MY CHILD....MY cute little baby -- She's a little hairy, weighs a bit more then Holly's baby, and she's black but she's mine.
Eat your heart out world!
Sporting Events and Jessica
I'm going to a
DC United game tonight with Eric and some buddies. I'm not exactly a Sports freak but it's always fun to go to professional sporting events, if for no other reason, it's fun to tail gate! And it's a good excuse to drink beer in the middle of the day, morning, or work week!
These are the professional sporting events I've been to:
The San Antonio Spurs
The Baltimore Orioles
The Washington Redskins
The Washington Nationals
The Washington Capitols (twice)
DC United (three times)
I think my favorite was the Redskins game although I got so drunk that I don't remember too much except how green the grass was and how much better it was to watch it live! I also learned that beer costs $6 at Fed Ex field and when you start drinking them in the morning you
will be shit-faced and broke by the end of the day!
Years ago I went to a DC United game and experienced my first tail gate party. It was complete with boys, burgers and beers! I was kind of tipsy by the time the game started and we weren't seated in a shaded part of the stadium. It was summer. It was HOT. I continued drinking and got so hot and drunk that when the first half was over, and my group and I started walking the ubber steep stairs to the vendor area, I started to feel all wobbly and light headed. I started leaning back, about to fall down a gazillion concrete stairs to my death, when a friend of mine lightly put his hand on my back and held me up. He saved my life. Lesson learned there too I guess...drink water on hot days, not beer.
Tonight I'm going to take it easy on the beer and it's a night game so I won't have to worry about the sun baking me in to a roasted fan. I'll update you tomorrow with any life lessons that come up....
A Fallen Country Star
The country star that I met in Chicago earlier this summer, Mindy McCready, has reportedly attempted suicide and is now in critical condition in Florida. She seems to have a wrap sheet longer then a roll of Charmin Ultra. Check
it out.........
Math
I have to take a Math Placement test before next semester but I haven't taken any math since my Junior year of high school, really. Well I did take a minor math class my first year of college (8 years ago) but that was just a brush-up course. I DON'T want to have to do that again so I'm giving myself a brush up course. I bought a book on
www.half.com that's called,
Basic College Mathematics, and I'm slowly but surely working through every chapter. It goes from as basic as math with whole numbers & fractions to Geometry, Statistics, and intro to Algebra. I know some of you are like, "dude, that's elementary math!" but I HAVE NOT factored denominators in to prime factors in like 15 years so EXUUUUUSEEE ME if I'm having to review a tad. With that said:
I have totally completed chapters one and two and done really well. I think I give myself an "A" for not only getting a lot of the answers right, but setting aside
self induced homework time last night, before
and after dinner. Ahhh adulthood.
When was the last time you heard/read the work "quotient"? anyway.
Most favorite part of Chapter 2 - Fractions: Writing out factor trees to find prime numbers!
Least favorite part of Chapter 2 - Fractions: Least Common Denominators....
Chapter 3 is decimal review....I'm psyched!
Romance and Stuffing
Let me set the mood: Friday night Eric and I revamped our patio area. He got a new shiny grill. I bought a cute outdoor table and repotted a pretty green fern to liven up the place! Last night was our first night dinning out with our new patio of romance. We had grilled pork chops and corn with a side of stuffing by candle light in the sweet smelling outdoors.
For some reason yesterday I was so bored that I could not stop harassing Eric. I wasn’t really doing it intentionally at first, but once I found out I was getting on his nerves, I kind of stepped up the teasing a little bit. Needless to say, by nine o’clock and about the time we were finishing up our meal, he’d
had it. I'd thrown the last straw that broke the camels back. I made a smart-ass comment about his opinion on where to place our new plant and he looked at me like I was shit_out_of_luck. Eric then proceeded to reach in to his plate, grabbing a fist full of warm soft stuffing, and chucked it across the table at me.
Globs of stuffing flew through the air and landed on my face, arms, chest, legs, and in my diet root beer. At first I was breathless with shock but then, seconds later when I realized what had happened, I burst out laughing.
After dinner was over, and I’d picked off all the stuffing, I went to bed to read my book and left Eric alone. He clearly had enough of me yesterday.
Leather Face
So I bought this seaweed face mask at a Korean department store here in "Little Korea". It was only two bucks and for a one-time usage I figured it would be fun. Why the hell not, right? Today while Eric worked on his new guitar, and I lay in bed reading my book, I decided it was time to try that puppy out! Slap that there face mask on my ugly mug and relax a tad. When I opened the package it sort of looked like a baby wipe folded up or something. I unwrapped it, placed the cool cloth on my face, and looked in the mirror....AND LAUGHED MY HAPPY ASS OFF! I looked like a freak! Like serial killer meets day spa priss. I came, giggling, out to the living room to greet Eric and he shrieked,
"Oh my God. You look like Leather Face! Get the f'k out of here with that thing!" 
Laughing I went back in to the bedroom to relax and read my book. 30 minutes later, I ripped off the mask, and concluded that I really
was just a baby wipe with holes cut it it. Aside from it giving Eric nightmares -- probably not worth the two dollars.
A Fan!
Well ladies and gents I am happy (sort of) to report that I have a fan! A strange and somewhat creepy fan, but a fan none the less. For reading material that might make you wear socks at all times, and think twice about sharing your email address, read below:
Email interaction with said fan dated today --Fan (Juan):Hi:
I just want to let you know I enjoy reading yr journal and think you have the most beautiful feet I have ever seen. Would you send me pictures of your bare feet , and pictures of you barefoot please?
JuanBlog/Foot Celebrity (Me):Juan,
No, you may not have pictures of my feet. That is a bizarre and inappropriate request. I'm glad you like my Blog though.
Take care,
JJuan:Jessica:
WHy is it bizarre and inappropriate?
I just think your bare feet are cute and would like to see more of them. From your journal I can see that you are very smart and communicate very well- and like to share your thoughts and opinions, so I thought you would not mind sharing images of yourself. I felt that asking for images of your face or full body images would be intrusive, but since you shared one image of your pretty feet, i wanted to let you know I think theyre very cute and would like to see more
JuanFoot Celebrity:Juan,
I appreciate your persistance, however, I fail to see the connection between the look of my feet and the fact that I am, "very smart and communicate very well". I do like to share my thoughts an opinions however verbal sharing is far different then photo sharing. Not to mention I think my boyfriend would find our relationship, even if just about feet, bizarre and inappropriate as well.
Thanks for the foot compliments,
JessicaJuan:Jessica,
WHOA.
My comments are unrelated. I am complementing :
1. perceived intelligence, as evidenced by the quality of your writing, and
2. physical beauty of your feet, as evidenced by the posted image
Like I said, you shared one image with a large group, so I did not find it inappropriate to request you share other images with me (or with the entire readership).
I hope your boyfriend is not the type to restrict your communication with your readers, since communicating with someone does not imply there is a 'relationship" with that person.
Take care
JuanBoyfriend (Eric):Juan,
My girlfriend Jess told me you wanted some pics of her feet. Im sorry she wasnt willing to help you out. She's not as nice as I am. I hope these pictures of MY feet help you out with your twisted fetish.
E
Juan:Eric,
No offense, but I am not attracted to them at all.
Jess's feet, on the other hand are very attractive and id like to see more of them.
Twisted fetish- that is your opinion
Take care
JuanEric:Perhaps (Fan's place of work) would be interested in what your doing with your work time and their email account. Let it go, drop it. She's not sending you pictures of her feet.
Explosive Dinner Party!
Once upon a time I made some tater tots in my new Pyrex baking dish. I took the crispy brown tots out of the oven and placed them on the stove to cool and went back to watching my movie in the living room. About 15 minutes later, I heard a loud "BANG!", and shards of Pyrex and tots were flying through the room.
It took me a few minutes to collect myself and grasp what had gone on. My baking dish exploded with my tater tots in it - that's what had gone on! I tried to pick the pieces of glass off of the carpet but the Pyrex was so hot that it was melted and stuck. I literally vacuumed up Pyrex and tatter tots for MONTHS after that. I was constantly finding little tot and glass shards hidden in areas of my living room and kitchen that I had not caught. I still don't really know why that happened. Maybe it was a terrorist attack on my tots?
Last night Eric and I went to Jen and Milton's for dinner. The chicken was in the oven baking and the little new potatoes were in a Pyrex baking dish, cooling. Jen and I went out to the balcony to have a smoke while the boys were jammin on the guitars. Suddenly, we heard a "BANG!". All four of us walked slowly to the kitchen to discover that sure enough, Jen's little new potatoes, were now slaughtered on the floor surrounded by shards of Pyrex. After picking up the hot shards of glass, and soaking up the olive oil, we rinsed off the little new potatoes and ate them anyway.
I sent Jen a thank-you card today thanking her for the "explosive" dinner party, assuring her that Eric and I both had a real "blast".
Book Recommendation
It seems like every year I pass through at least one book that I add to my 'favorites list'. For a book to make it on my favorites list, it must grab me so crazily that I'm: thinking about it at work, reading it during my lunch hour, reading at the dinner table, reading it on the pot, in traffic, and finding excuses to sit and wait around -- JUST so I can read this wonderful book. I
love these books that only come around every once and a while and invite themselves in to my life like a new best friend. I'm not ashamed to say that I like girly fluff books ~ so you can bet your IBN number that this book recommendation will fall under that category.
(If you're a male reader, trying to find the key to girly fluff, click here!)
But before I get to to my latest find -- my list of
Can't Live Without books is below.
(Not in any order)
- She's Come Undone by Wally Lamb
- Watermelon by Marian Keyes
- Summer Sisters by Judy Bloom
- Saving Grace by Patricia Gaffney
- Summerhouse by Jude Deveraux
- Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood by Rebecca Wells (Movie now)
- The Deep End of the Ocean by Jaquelen Michard (Movie now)
- Where the Heart Is by Billie Letts (Movie now)
- One Child by Tori L. Hayden
- The Notebook by Nicolas Sparks (Movie now)
Now most of you probably know that a few of these actually made the big screen -- but I assure you that I read the books first, and liked the books better then the movie. (Side Note: I hate it when Publishers take a novel and make it in to a movie and then change the original cover of the book from the nicely designed book cover to a gay movie scene! It ruins the book!)
My new recommendation to the world of girly fluff books is Angry House Wives Eating Bon Bons by Lorna Landvik. You do not have to be angry, a house wife, or enjoy Bon Bons to dig this book. It's yummy, it's light, it's funny, it's hormonal and thus everything a good girly fluff book should be. I personally find myself wanting to jump through the pages of the book and join the friendship circle of the Angry Housewives. I HATE putting it down and internally scold myself when I fall asleep reading it because I crave those words like a Kit-Kat bar during my period!
This book is good.
I hope you too can enjoy a few hours next to the pool with this literary amusement park!
Baby Sitter Extraordinaire!
One of the reasons I'm such a good babysitter is because I follow the rules! I feed the babies, I read to the babies, I rock the babies and I'm very very serious about bed time. I always make sure the children adhere to bed times. This is a picture of me forcing the children to adhere to bed times last Saturday.
This picture was taken by the parents.......
Star Wars Episode VI: Revenge of the Sith
Well I've done it! I've completed my Star Wars training and finished out the session by going to see Star Wars Episode VI last night. My over all rating is an A+. It was such a good movie. It was action packed, had a little love story, some sadness, and some funny moments. I was gripped from beginning to end.
One day I'd like to count how many arms/hands get lopped off in the entire Star Wars Series. My God it's like a freakin' armocide! I think one of the first injuries (human injuries) in this movie was two hands wacked off at one time! It's just SUCH a disadvantage to fight when you only have one arm/hand. Ya know?
So now that it's done I don't EVER HAVE TO WATCH A COTTON PICKIN STAR WARS MOVIE AGAIN! I enjoyed them all - I did - but I'm glad it's over.
Precious Angel Face!
So Holly gave birth to my baby at 12:29pm on Saturday. My little Brodie came in to this world weighing 7 lbs 6 oz and measuring a little over 20 inches! He's so handsome and yummy. Yesterday I went to the hospital to hang with Mom and Baby as Dad moved in to their new house.
(Saturday morning we were all supposed to meet up at Holly and Curt's and help them move in to their new house BEFORE the baby came. I had suspicions that this might fall through as we were only 4 days away from the due date and Holly's belly was tightening during our pedicure last weekend. Since baby Brodie was pretty adamant about coming out - we had to postpone moving day. )
Saturday I was bouncing off the walls with anxiety. I couldn't wait to hear news of the details. I zoomed around town picking out things to create a Mommy & Baby gift basket: Wine, Breast pads, nipple cream, Champagne, hand lotion, moon drops, a cute Mom shirt and some baby outfits. FINALLY on Sunday at noon I went to see my little angel and HE'S SO CUTE! I spent four hours with Mom and Baby. I watched him eat, helped change a poopy diaper, listened to his screams, got him dressed for his first photo shoot, and tried to sooth him while the nurse was taking blood from his cute little foot. I had the best day and I miss him already!
I'm so proud of Holly!! I can't imagine huffing out a baby. I can't imagine my outsides being forced to let something (even if it IS that cute) that big out of my insides! It's bizarre to me how he even fit in her in the first place! But Holly did a great job and she's such a great Mom already!!
I had a hard time putting him down yesterday when I had to leave. I smooched him over and over again until he crinkled his nose in anger. YUMMY! I can't wait to see him on Tuesday!
Video Blogging
I wish I could put short little videos up on my blog. I captured a cute on on my digi the other day that I'd like to share......when? When will I be able?
Baby TODAY!!!
Holly gave in to mind numbing contractions this morning at 3:30am and is now in the hospital steadily dilating in to the
birth of my child!!! I CAN'T WAIT! I want to scream AND I CAN'T -- BECAUSE IT'S ON LY 7:47AM HERE AND THE NEIGHBORS WOULD PROBABLY KILL ME BUT BELIEVE ME -- I'M SCREAMING IN SIDE WITH
GLEE!
Car Wash
We had a typical Virginia flash rain storm this evening and Eric decided it would be a perfect time to wash his car. Here is a picture of Eric taking advantage of a God's version of a hose....
(He did my ride too!)
Before she had her barking badly behaved minpins
my sister had this.....
this ubber adorable, well behaved, potty trained pup who just loves being cuddled in my chubby ass arms.
Isn't he cute!
Ah ha!
Take
this Patrick Sanbeed!
Don't prank me, punk!
I don't know if one of my male friends has a bug up there butt today and just wants to prank me for shits and giggles, or if I'm just the lucky chick of the day who has a stalking con artist, but here is how my last two phone conversations went:
Me: "SunDance Rehab this is Jess.."
Con: "Hi. This is Patrick calling about your copier. I need the model number off the front of your copier..."
Me: "Where are you calling from?"
Con: "My desk"
Me: long annoyed pause and sarcasm gurgling up my throat "WHAT COMPANY are you calling from?
Con: "CCS"
Me: "WHAT does CCS STAND for?"
Con: "Conning Customers Systematically"
Me: "Huh...Conning Customers systematically?"
Con: "Yea"
Me: "I don't think so"
Con: "Ok bye."
5 minutes laterMe: "SunDance Rehab this is Jess..."
Con: Middle Eastern Accent "Hi this is Sanbeed calling about your copier. I need the model number..."
Me: "Who the fuck is this?"
Con: "Sanbeed calling..."
Me: "YOU CAN'T HAVE ANY INFORMATION ON MY COPIER!!!"
Con: "Ok...sweetie. Are you single?"
Me: "no."
Con: "Ok how about something on the side then?"
Me: "I don't think so."
Con: "Ok - bye."
What is going on? Who are you Patrick Sambeed?
I'm a Student
I'M OFFICIALLY A STUDENT!! Last night I registered for my first two classes of my renewed student career! I'll be in class three nights a week starting August 22nd. I'm taking Health Science, with a lab, and US History. I'm really excited about the History class and trying not to piss myself about the science.
Registering for school has sure changed! I just popped online, entered my student info, and bam! It was easier then buying a cotton pickin' plane ticket through Expedia!
Now I have to get books, buy a parking permit, and get my student ID.
Zapped
This post is dedicated to Kathleen Sassy Pants Sipos....
My Lilly and my under arms got zapped again today. It's been 6 weeks since my last hair removal procedure and so far I'm totally, 100%, without a doubt thrilled with my purchase. In the last 6 weeks it has seemed like I've needed to shave 3 times. It's so rare that I have to shave the Lilly and the pits that I've unintentionally started neglecting the legs.
It could have been that I was anxious to eat Sushi and drink Saporo with Deannie afterwards but I really feel like this time hurt less. Last time didn't HURT hurt it was just a more intense "zap". This weeks zaps were just not that big of a deal. And I feel like she got more from the Lilly then she did last time. (Kathleen you can call me for more info. I can't go in to how she dove in to my nethers' with a laser light in front of Courtney......you get the point.)
Basically every time you go in to get zapped you kill more hairs. And the hairs that continue to come back, the stubborn ones, come back more like soft body hair instead of pubes. So less like eyebrows and more like arm fuzz if you will. The more you zap them the thinner and more non-existent they become. Comprende?
So all in all I'm thrilled. PULSE LIGHT IS THE BOMB. I have my next appointment on August 24th at 3:45. I hope this is enough info for the girls I know who wanted more details and not too much info for the boys who didn't want to know the details at all but were just too curious to NOT read my post.
Live on Lilly, live on.
Hot Brides Maids
Just got this picture off of Keelee's website. Are we hot or what?
Free Tire
I got my tire fixed today for free (Thanks, John!) Now I just have to get Eric to put it back on my car for me. It's not that I can't do it but he looks way hotter doing it then I do.
I'm off to Baltimore tonight for a meeting. I have to be up bright and early tomorrow to make sure the meeting I've been planning for the last 3 months goes smoothly.
Wednesday I registar for my classes!! Can you believe it? I can't. I'm scared, excited, amused, and bewildered. I'm taking a science and a history this semester. Wish me luck!
More Car Troubles
The one thing about being in your late twenties that I could do without is fixing my car is
draining my wallet!!! Eric and I walked out of the house today and noticed my tire was flat. He put on a spare and saw there was a nail stuck in it. Bummer dude! I
so don't wanna
pay for that!!
Your Twenties
Today I was filing at work and got to thinking...
I think my mid-twenties was much scarier then my teen years. Everyone always says that they'd rather jump off a bridge then relive their teen years. While I agree, yes, having to repeat highschool and live by my parents rules would truly suck (badly) but I think my Mid-Twenties were worse then my teen years. I would say that from about 23-27 (almost to the day) my life was utterly confusing and erratic. Sometimes even down right emotionally wrenching. I'm SO GLAD that today, as I'm
approaching 28, that things seemed to have evened out. At least for now....
My cousin's husband, Craig, asked me my age back when they were visiting for Christmas. When I told him I was 27 he said, "
ahhhhh---
this is the year you figure life out." At first I was fucking terrified - but now - I get it....
Birthday cards, gifts, diamonds, Seven Jeans, and furniture can be sent to arrive on September 16th.
Hotel Rwanda
Just watched
Hotel Rwanda. Can't see through my tears enough to type. SADDEST MOVIE EVER. Watch it. It will make you a tad more humble.
Buyer Beware
This morning as I semi woke up fuzzy from not getting good sleep, thanks to Restless Leg Syndrome, I also popped a nasal & Sinus decongestant. Living with a man who has miserable allergies I have a plethora of nasal & sinus pills. Pills in all shapes, sizes and colors. Ones that are drowsy. Some that are not. Some that are useless some that are FUCKING TERRIBLE.
In my hazzy morning achey leg induced fuzz I chose to take CVS brand Lorata.Dine D Extended Release Tablets: Non drowsy/24 hour!! I don't remember thinking about too much before I took this pill other then A) I don't want to pass out at my desk B) Please let this make my sinus pressure go away. I did NOT, however, think deeply about the fact that being a 24 hour time release pill, should something go hay wire, I will feel it for a God awful long time.
So how do I feel? I feel like a crack head that has been awake for a week. I feel like I want to pass out and throw up at the same time. I feel dizzy and speedy and crappy but
not stuffy. At this point, however, I'd rather have the sinus pressure. I'm 10 hours in to my drug induced illness.
I spoke with Eric on the phone once I realized why I felt so shitty. After a few minutes describing the pill to him he said: "Yea. Remember that week I couldn't sleep, I was tense, and felt really bad? It was cuz I took those." GREAT! Apparently if you have allergies, and you're taking this medicine for a few days, those crack head junkie symptoms subside and you feel normal again. Personally if I had to do this AGAIN tomorrow you'd have to commit me.
Restless Leg Syndrome
Last night I had the worst case of
Restless Leg Syndrome. I didn't even know it was called that until Holly explained a pregnancy symptom to me that sounded exactly like what I was going through. It turns out that Restless Leg Syndrome is not just a pregnancy syndrome but it is quite common in pregnant women.
The strangest thing about this syndrome is trying to explain it! I explained it like this:
It feels like my legs are pulling or aching and I HAVE to move or stretch them. Web MD lists these as symptoms:
1. Unpleasant sensations in the legs (sometimes the arms as well), often described as creeping, crawling, tingling, pulling, or painful;
2. Leg sensations are relieved by walking, stretching, knee bends, massage, or hot or cold baths;
3. Leg discomfort occurs when lying down or sitting for prolonged periods of time;
4. The symptoms are worse in the evening and during the night.
So last night I woke up and couldn't shake this leg issue. I got out of bed so that I didn't keep Eric up by tossing, turning, and stretching. I retreated to the couch and continued to struggle with these leg aches for an hour or more. I tried sitting up and watching TV but my body was so tired that I couldn't keep my eyes open. Just as I'd shut my eyes this annoying sensation came back. I eventually went to the bathroom and took two Advil and slept on the couch in a crouched position with my ass in the air. I don't know if that technically helped but I ended up falling asleep.
As a result I'm exhausted today. I came in to work 1 hour late in hopes of getting more rest but I never really got back to sleep. I still feel it a little in my legs but just being out of bed is helping. I HOPE AND PRAY that it doesn't continue.
Someone told me that Night Time Tylenol makes them feel that way. I took Night Time Tylenol last night before bed to help offset the sinus meds. I'm hoping that is my culprit and tonight will be better.
I'm so amazed by this crazy leg syndrome!
Sinuses Suck
As I sit here drinking my glass of Chardonnay
(out of my new Tiffany's wine glass thanks, Keels), listening to Mariah Carey's old CD 'Emotions', I am agonizing in Sinsu pain. Yes, AG-O-NIZING! Dear Jesus let my nose run through the mountains and along rivers! RELIEVE me of sinus pressure.
PLEASE! Wine + Decongestants = Better yet not great.
2.25 days in counting until a spa day with Holly. Mani/pedi/facial/massage HERE I COME! I hope I don't snot all over the floor when I'm being massaged.
Post-It Note To Myself
Def Le
PPARD is not spelled Def
Leopard! Apparently it is SO NOT ROCK to spell it that way. =(
Mystery Trip Day 1
So I didn't tell you guys earlier but I took Eric on a Mystery Trip this weekend. I didn't want to spill the beans on the blog because he reads this blog from time to time. I drove him to Lancaster, Pennsylvania to see Def Leopard & Brian Adams in concert. Def Leopard is THE REASON Eric plays guitar today. So this is day one before he knew what we were doing in PA. We stopped at this little cute restaurant for a nice lunch.
Hershey Park
I don't have a picture of the concert because I suck and forgot my camera. This is day #2. We rode a bunch of roller coasters at Hershey Park in Hershey, PA. It was hot, and we spent a lot of time in the lines, but it was very fun.
FUNNEL CAKE
This is funnel cake boy. He HAD TO HAVE a funnel cake but after 5 hours of amusement park foods he wasn't really "feeling it", if you know what I mean.
More Funnel
Here is Eric on about the last bite of the funnel. Oh...just about 15 minutes from getting on a roller coaster....
Motor Inn
Evening of Day #2, after we'd worn our poor bodies out at Hershey Park, we pulled in here for a little R&R. It was SO SWEET!
Front of Hotel Room
Can you ask for better digs?
Bath Mat
Paper bath mats rule. They're ubber absorbant...see diagram
Sitting Room
Here is our sitting room...uh...I mean..sitting area....Gawd I love that chair...
Bed
No, this ain't your granma's bedspread!
Checkin out
Here is Eric checking us out. He had to drop the key off at the corner store. Fun!
Wanna Coke
Here is the old school coke machine they had around back. Eric was filling up the ice bucket to chill our brewskies.
Arcade
No, TV but Atari games instead!!!
Home
Ah....HOME SWEET HOME! For just a little under $100 you can stay in a friendly dump like this too!
Bye Bye
Bye Bye romantic roach motel! We love you!!
PS. Bought my Mom one of those jumbo hanging plants for her birthday.
So Cute!
I was blessed last night with a visit from 3 lovely ladies. One of which is just a few months old. Baby Fiona, her Mom Carrie, and my left foot Holly all came for dinner. I snapped this cute picture of Fiona's little yummy baby feet up against Holly's pregnant tummy. SO CUTE! Don't ya just want to nibble on those toes?
It's ok doggy...
Cory thought the spider bite pictures followed by the babyfoot picture was too disturbing so I thought I'd put in a "buffer" picture, if you will. This work of art I like to call.."See? The cage isn't scary, Lady?!" or "Huh...."
Spider bite
My friend John got bit by a
Brown Recluse Spider this week. This is what his arm looks like now. He's on medication for it but if you've seen the damage that a brown recluse does you'll know how bad this spider bite can get - and quickly. Poor Johnny!
