Got news that I will be going to Vegas in November. Excited!

Worked out for 40 mins in a row (tredmill) AND did over 2 miles on my bike (well mom's bike) through the streets of Eastpointe and Roseville.

First WI today

2007-07-09T12:54:18Z

Today I have my first WI at WW today in about an hour. Just trying to kill some time by posting to my journal.
I feel that I did VERY good this week and pretty much stayed OP except that I need to learn how to eat my fruits and veggies and drink my milk AND get in my healthy oils.

I think that I'm gonna make a diet soda cake today. Will update how that turned out. Well, I'm not making a cake, but cupcakes...easier servings.

Well, I killed about a minute of time writing this. Need to take a pill to stop my headache.

Made a commitment

2007-07-02T22:09:14Z

So today I've decided to go back to Weight Watchers(WW). This time around I feel very positive and excited to lose weight. I'm going to do this and I'm going to put a lot of effort into this!
I think that the fact that I'm not really doing this with my mom (since we didn't even sign up together) will help. We will talk to each other and share our ups and downs (hopefully more ups.)

This is my second attempt with WW. The first time I did lose some weight but I was bad and didn't really stick with the program. This time I will. esp since I'm spending my own money on this!

Will update on progress on how I do each week!

That is all for now

Peace out!

quick update

2007-06-18T11:52:40Z

Am tired. went to nascar race yesterday (father's day) saw a concert, saw my boy win. further update will come a bit later...maybe when i'm making cookies or my cake! peace

I took the photos in the first set. (until you see the castle building)

let me know what you think! :)

What a weird morning! AND IT'S NOT EVEN 6AM YET!!!

2007-05-17T09:50:16Z

So, I worked last night until 11pm, came home and tried to play world of warcraft. Didn't work that well. At any rate I fixed it over an hour later and played til about 1:30-2:00AM...
So I'm sleeping and it's about, oh I don't know, 5:15ish. Hear my parents talking about picking up trucks. Before I can't stand it any longer, I finally get up and say out of my door, "Hey guys,what's going on?"
The reply I get was something I wouldn't have expected: There's a stolen truck in our driveway!!!!!!
So it was a Maroon Chevy truck probably from the mid 90s. Dad said that the back window had been smashed in and there were boxes of cigarettes on the seat. The officer confirmed that the truck was stolen.

Now, we have a circle drive at our house and the way the idiot "parked" the truck was kinda on an angle in the approach but not horribly parked (it was a rush park.) Anyways, the tow truck had to pretty much take up the entire street and we live in front of a total of 5 lanes (two driving on each side and a turn lane.)

So now you may ask, who first found the truck?!? It was my mom. When she wakes up, she checks outside to see how the weather is for her drive to work. My dad didn't believe her at first. LOL! This was too funny! :)

Thought of the day:

DON'T say Napkins, when asked if you need any condiments, unless you plan on eating them...
If you plan on eating them, I need to witness that first.

Giving up hope

2007-03-16T14:26:22Z

With that last email I got from JWT, I've decided that i will no longer be really looking for an internship there. Next week, I will be going to the career service center to find a new job. The only real reason I've been at whities so long, other than good benifits, is for this internship at JWT, and with them just draging me along like a foolish puppy, I just think it's time to find me a new job.
I need something that will actually pay me money so that I'm not living paycheck to paycheck. I want to save for a new car, save to finally go out and live on my own (maybe later rather than sooner though,) and to save for my trip to England that I so want to go on.

This weekend is gonna suck. I have to write my multicultural comm. paper that's due Monday. I'm doing my paper on sexuality through time. At first I was gonna have the focus of my paper on homosexuality through time, but now I've shifted gears since our lecutre on the topic, and am going to be writing the paper on female sexuality through time. Should be great fun! and I know I'm going to somehow bring it back to how the media with it's vamped up female sexuality is a bad example/role model for today's youth!

Got to get ready for work...booo!

Toodles,
Jen

Again, not dealing with spell-check, so deal with the spelling mistakes!

Happy Friday...NOT

2007-03-09T14:15:29Z

Since today is friday, it means that it is the begining of my work weekend. :(
Ankle still hurts if I'm on it too long.
Cant wait for this new tv series to start on Monday, Blood Ties. The show is based off the"Blood Books" by Tannya Huff. I started reading the first book just the other day.

I got an extension on my paper for my anthropology class. YIPPY!

Homework assingments that I need to do:
Anthro paper #2
Advertising project #2
Multicultural Paper (#1)
Anthro Paper #3
Anthro Final paper

All of these assingments have actually been assingned. Not a huge fan of my anthro class.

Also, on the side burner, I have of course my two stories, a wigs for kids atricle challange for detroit area white castle employees and my reading.

Busy, busy busy bee.

Right now I'm trying to download Blood Ties first episode on iTunes. Taking FOREVER!!!!

Need to start geting ready for work in an hour and fifteen minutes

Not going to use spell check..so live with it!

Vacation Over

2007-03-05T18:34:33Z

I have to go back to school today. Really enjoyed my vacation. I'm really didn't mind being off this weekend, except for the fact that my check is going to suck, of come Thursday!

I'm not gonna mind going to class today, in fact I'm not going to mind going to class tomorrow. I just don't wanna go to class on Thursday night! Wednesday's going to suck, I'll be working a 9 hour shift.How can they do that to me? I'm just getting off of a three day weekend because of my bummed ankle, and expect me to be standing for eight and half hours. How rude!!!!

Well, I'm going to go and play YPP.

Toodles!

Pain suffering in Eastpointe

2007-03-02T18:02:29Z

Okay, so this morning, like a good girl, I go to AAA to pay the car insurance for my family. I'm starting to walk up to the building, just to the left of the pillar, I fall, I'm in pain because I just know I messed up my ankle yet again. I continue my way inside to pay the bill, I get to the counter to pay, and I mention that I fell outside and hurt my ankle. The teller goes and gets her boss so she can fill out an incident report.

I have to hobble to the back where her cubicle is and answer a few questions. Then I hobble back out to get to my car. I look at the spot when I fell, and noticed that there was some yellow paint down at one point to warn people about the hazzard. However it has worn away and there is just a little bit there left to notice what had once been.

I had to call into work. I called my dad who was back at home and asked him if he could drive me to the doctors. Find out it is only a sprain. I am however upset that I have to be off for the next few days (fri, sat and sun) So that means my check is gonna suck for the next few weeks.

well, now i have some time to write

Learning how to dictate

2007-03-01T22:17:27Z

OK this is really cool! I just got a new headset for my laptop and I'm dictating my sentences here!
This is probably the drive my parents crazy, but oh well! They're just and I have to learn.

I just ordered some pizza the not that long ago. I'm having a delivered because the weather here sucks! I ordered from Jet's today. I have ordered some of their original bread, a chicken pizza, with cheese and pizza sauce and two liter bottle of Diet Coke. I hope that the delivery guy will ring the doorbell because I'm in the computer room! (in here this is the only way I can be connected to the Internet.)

I am jealous that Zach and Mr. B are in Atlanta with temperatures that are near summer like temperatures here in Michigan!
The weather here sucks!! !

I can't wait for my pizza!

Have a good one!

School's been pretty boring. About to go to bed. Tired. I had to work 7-3 Days today and will have to work that tomorrow too.

Need to work on my paper for the evil class I have. Don't wanna do it...but I must...but will do it later

Not much else to say so...

Peace!

Oh the joy

2007-01-04T21:32:44Z

So, I just got home from the doctors office. I have a sinus infection...oh the joy...

I missed my first day of classes...both the 10 am one and now i'm going to miss my 6:30 class because I am about to be in a coma...aka sleeping the rest of the night.

I am hoping to go and work on one of my stories tonight as well.

Peace

This hacking isn't helping

2007-01-03T02:01:04Z

So I think that all of my coughing might be hindering me from writing. Or maybe I just don't want to remember some things. I'm not sure. But I do know that my throat is really hurting right now. Oh the joy! At times it feels as if I have something like a popcorn kernal shell stuck in the back of my mouth/throat. Not a good feeling.

Maybe I'm getting a bit of writers block is because i'm typing on this computer (aka the one connected to the internet) and not my laptop where I usually write on my bed. I think it might be a combo of all those things.

Oh, I found out my friend Rich is gonna be in my thrusday night class...how fun is that going to be?

okay...so now i'm going to finish up things here online and then go to my laptop to continue to work...

Peace

No voice other than what I can type

2007-01-02T19:29:51Z

Well, okay maybe after a few cups of tea and coffee this morning I can now speak, but I woke up and I couldn't even whisper. :( And other than my throat and ears bothering me, I feel quite fine.

I have come to the conclusion, since my last reply to a post only a few moments ago, I'm going to put my one story on the back burner and work on another one that deals with "mystery man." I know how it's going to end...mystery man and heroine will NOT end up together...but he is a "stepping stone/ life lesson" she needed to find the true love of her life.

Now, while I'm still on this computer, I need to go and look up names I could use for my characters...coming up with names is the hardest thing for me to come up with...then it's off to my laptop to write my story! yippy! I now can't wait...i might make a fresh cup of tea before getting settled in to type...something to ease my sore throat!

Peace!

HELP ME

2007-01-01T05:18:27Z

I think I need help. I for some reason went looking at someone's website...I didn't want to but I did...That's a big slap on my wrist. I need to thow myself into my writing once again...but even in there I have a character based on him...oh well...

Oh, I'm also getting sick as well...:(

Happy New Year!

2007-01-01T04:07:21Z

Happy New Year to everyone!

I think I will go to bed in a little bit. I'm tired. Worked today. Work tomorrow as well. 9-3, but at least I get to sleep in about 2 hours unlike what I would have to wake up if I had to work at 7am.

I've been reading A LOT this past week. Tuesday I went shopping with my aunt suzie. Well, my aunt chris got me a $25 gift card for Borders. So I went there with a little list of books I wanted...I wanted to complete my little collection of Katie MacAlister novels sans her historical romances (just because I knew that the store didn't have them.) I was shocked because they had a book when they said they didn't have it...so I was very happy. All in all at Borders I picked up 6 books. I had two coupons buy 2 get one free. Then I was using my 10% discount day. What I didn't know was that they had this holiday money...all throughout the year they put 5% of what I spend into an account and then it adds up over the months. well, I had over $20 and all entire bill was paid for except for less than $3. How happy I was...and on top of that I still had my gift card.

Merry Christmas

2006-12-25T20:48:32Z
