Got a surprise Christmas gift

My bestie is pregnant.
Apparently you can pee in a jar
and it tells you if you're having a boy or girl.
Yellow is girl, Green is boy.
Looks like she's having a BOY!

30 Day Challenge - Day 08

Day 08 - A moment you felt the most satisfied with your life.

I don't remember the exact day
but it was about 4 or 5 months ago.
It took some time
but when I realized leaving my husband
was the best decision I'd ever made,
I was pretty dang satisfied.

What's on my phone?!

A lot of NSYNC reminiscing has been going on.
Jenny found this beauty at our local thrift store.


Found this cutie pie at the same thrift store.
It's ancient but I had to have it.


Apparently these are not rare,
but it was my first time seeing a miniature toilet.
We were in Paducah, KY.


The bestie & me in some really large pants.
We are easily entertained. haha


Some of you are aware of the peacocks.
The one's that annoy me incessantly.
I would love to run those suckers over!


Mom's spoiled brats.


Me freezing to death in Missouri.
I hate the cold. I mean I HATE it!


Aerie is weird sometimes.
They gave me a whole bag of twine.
I wrapped the bestie's gifts w/it though...


I got a major kick out of this sign.
Guess where it is...

30 Day Challenge - Day 03

Day 03 - Your views on drugs & alcohol


I have never done drugs that weren't prescribed to me.
Never have I even wanted to.
I don't see a problem with things like marijuana
if done in moderation.
Some people can control themselves, some can't.

I have had my fair share of alcohol.
Same view as drugs.
It's a moderation thing.

30 Day Challenge - Day 01

I've been kinda bored with blogger.
Thought maybe I'd attempt another 30 day challenge...


Day 01 - Your current relationship,
if single discuss how single life is.

I'm single. Have been for 6 months now.
It sucks butt. Major butt.
Well, most days I enjoy my singleness.

I've been talking to a guy for 3 months.
Every day for 3 months.
Yes, I am single.

He is far away.
Even if he wasn't his job would make a relationship difficult.

Most days I like the long distance situation.
Other days it is really saddening.

I wouldn't say I'm holding out for him...
I haven't met anyone else...
And I can't say what I would do it that happened...

Relationships are the devil.
Even when you're not in one.

Miss Me?!

I hope someone missed me in my absence...

It's been a long hard last 6 days.

Friday morning I was getting ready for our company Christmas party when my Mom called to say her dad, my grandpa, died earlier that morning. It was rough. Even rougher trying to be strong for her because she was taking it so bad.

She said they'd be on their way to come get me as soon as Mark got home from work so I didn't go to work. But they decided to just slow down and calm down so they wouldn't forget anything. They got to my house that afternoon and we left at 5am Saturday morning towards Hannibal, MO. It was a 15 hour drive including all the stops we had to make. Dogs included.

It started snowing about 30 minutes from my grandparent's house. You know I hated that. It continued to snow well into Sunday morning but Mom couldn't stay in the house without her Dad there so we ventured out to Wal-Mart and the mall.

I was glad to be out of the house with all the smokers. My grandpa died connected to his breathing treatment machine due to his years of smoking and yet they all continue to smoke. Blows my mind, it really does.

He wanted to be cremated so there wasn't a service. But grandma wanted everyone to have their closure so we got to see the body for one hour prior. It was horrible. Bad idea. He was in the cardboard box that he was going to be cremated in with a white sheet draped over him. I can't even explain how bad that was.

We left Monday after the funeral. I somehow convinced my parents to stop at the Aerie in Franklin, TN. I had to replace the soap that spilled in my bag on the way up. HA!

Later that night I was driving and started getting sick to my stomach so I made mom drive. About 11 we were in between Montgomery and Troy and I had to throw up. That was only the beginning. She had to pull over 2 more times for me to throw up before we got home. I threw up every hour through 7 am. And it wasn't normal, it was exorcist style. It was horrible. I literally thought I was dieing and was begging mom to take me to the ER. After that seemed to be over I slept until 1 when my parents left after deciding I seemed to be better. I stayed in bed the rest of the day. Had no energy to do anything.

I slept in yesterday and figured I'd go to work around lunch but I still wasn't 100% and didn't want to take it to work with me. I needed a day to recover anyway. My chest and back was in major pain from the 8 hours of fierce vomit. It was good to get around and go at my own pace when I felt like it instead of rushing off to work full force.

I feel much better today. My stomach is still not right but it seems to be recovering.

Now I have to come in early and work all weekend to make up all the time I missed. UGH

Christmas Spirit

I wasn't in the Christmas spirit at all.
Probably because everyone goes crazy before Halloween
and that makes it stressful.

But I put my Christmas decor up the weekend before Thanksgiving.
I knew I wouldn't have time after that...
I won't do it alone again. Not a tree anyway.
I would bet it stays up forever because I dread taking it down.

But isn't it pretty??


I was lucky enough to find HOOT OWL wrapping paper!
Don't mind my wrapping job. I suck at it.
Or don't have the patience for it... whatever.


I'm so glad I have a mantle for my Nutcracker collection.



Of course I had to fill my apothecary jars w/Christmas candies.

funny story

I had a very exciting night last night.
Scary exciting.

It's 8:30, I'm in bed.
The bestie texts me that something's going on behind her house.
(she lives across a small pond from me)
She said it sounded like a weed eater.
I told her it's probably the helicopters that I always mistake for a lawnmower.
But then she starts freaking out.
Saying it's making her house shake and for me to "get over here"
soon it's on her carport
"now jess"

I immediately start to freak out.
Because she is never scared of anything.
And if she's scared, I know it's time to freak. haha

So I'm scrambling around trying to put clothes on
and find my gun.
Yes, I have a gun.
I'm a female and I live alone.
And there are crazies in this world.

At first I assumed it was coyotes
because there was some last weekend.
Can't you see me shooting a coyote?! right

I'm on my way over and she tells me never mind.
It is her husband's friend dropping off his car.
I went over anyway to make sure
because I don't like that guy anyway.
And she won't come outside
or answer the phone!
Come to find out she was hiding in the bathroom.

That was the scariest shit ever.
I kept thinking how the hell am I gonna protect her with a gun I'm pretty sure I have forgotten how to shoot.
Needless to say,
I will be going to the range this weekend.


Our lives should be a tv show, I'm serious!

Weakness Wednesday

What's On My Phone?

Got this idea here.

I'm pretty sure the camera on my (sometimes) beloved Blackberry
is used more often the my actual digital camera.

Here's a few pics for you to enjoy.

Me in one of Jarrod's work hats.
Marianne says it's not my best accessory. ha!



Homemade veggie soup.
I realize it looks more like noodle soup...
It was yum yum in my tum!



Shoes from the thrift store bc my Target heels were killing my toes.
They weren't even really heels. More like nubs.
Anyway, they're silver and not gold like they look here.



If you've never had Pierogies then OMG
you are srsly missing out.
Put some sour cream & they're an orgasm in your mouth!



I call them my tinfoil toes.
It really is cute in person though.
Thanks to Aerie for having 2 for $5 polishes! yay



Sunset from Grand Isle, Louisiana.
(no, I don't see anymore oil either.)
This is actually the background on my phone.
It compliments my already purple BB. 


IDK how to explain this
other than Marianne was doing it
so I had to see if I could do it... TA DA!



What's on your phone??
