It's beginning to look a lot like Xmas

So snow has fallen a couple of times, and I seriously do not fair well in cold weather situations. I am still on summer mode people! Don't get me wrong....I like when the snow first falls, and is on the trees and I like just about an inch on the ground for about 5 minutes. Because then, cars and trucks come along, and it turns brown....those big trucks that are on the highways dumping sand and salt ruin the beauty of it. And I swear the drivers of those sand/salt trucks are trying to break your windshield. I feel like I am involved in a drive by shooting for crying out loud!!! Now I understand it is for safety reasons, but I really don't think it helps. The reason why is that no matter what precipitates and falls from the big beautiful sky, people DON'T KNOW HOW TO DRIVE!!!! Sand and salt won't help those people, staying off the roads will help those people. Don't they know that when they slam their brakes on, they will skid, and take out 3 lanes of traffic. Just slow it down people! So then I hate snow, I hate winter.

I miss my flip flops and tank tops! The only things I enjoy are seeing SOME of my family, baking and making paper snowflakes. (which I made last night and put on the slider-fabulous)
And anything that comes in a Tiffany's box for me is always a nice xmas gift!!!! lol Seriously!!!!
Happy Holidays!

Seriously...been a while-sorry

Hey all!
Things are going super well! I still love my job, and Kevin and everything really.
My best friend is preggers and I am so happy for her!!! She is one of the best moms I know, and deserves nothing but beautiful, wonderful and fabulous things!
My sister and nephew are coming for Turkey day, and I am spoiling my sister with 3 hours of spa treatments for her bday and early xmas gift. She deserves it, and could definitely use a few hours of relaxation.
I can't wait to see my nephew. He is so friggin adorable.
So that is pretty much it, and I promise I will post more frequently.
Lots of love and turkey to all!!!!
xoxoxoxo

update...

So hello, all!

I thought I'd give a bit of an update on the happenings of mi vida loca (my crazy life).....

I have completed my training at Bella Sante, and the new spa in Wellesley will be opening tomorrow!!!! SO exciting. The spa is absolutely GORGEOUS!!!! By far the nicest of the three Bella Sante spas. Please come by to check it out. Take a tour, come in for a spa special facial or neck back and shoulder massage. These treatments are under 45 minutes for $50.00. Very good deal. We are located at 190 Linden Street across from Roche Bros. (sorry about the plug, but I love the place and if you come by when I am working, you'd get a two-for..see me and check out the best spa ever)

Ok so I seriously love my job, and I couldn't be happier in general. Kev and I went to his best friend's wedding a week or so ago, and I thought I'd share this photo...We are a fantastic looking couple. LOL ;} Thanks Lisa for the kind words BTW. Love you lots and miss you. xo

When it's time to change...

Ok, so it has been a while since I have posted anything, and I have a die hard fan who has demanded some updates on my crazy life. Well I won't make you wait any longer. :)

Seriously, first and foremost, can we talk about the beautiful weather we have had the last 2 days?!?!?! LOVING IT!

Ok, on to the good stuff.....
I am leaving my job at Atlantis Components after 3 years. In a way it is sad. In a small small way. I will miss my Boss. I will miss my girlies. I will miss running around like a lunatic for about a millisecond!!!! I will also miss the money. But money isn't everything, right?! It is nice, especially for me the girl who likes to treat herself to a new Coach bag every year. Nonetheless, I have learned a lot, and I have grown as a professional something or other.
I look forward to starting my new job at Bella Sante Day Spa. It has been my dream for a very long time to get into the beauty industry. Let's face it, this girl LOVES makeup. I love to try new products, new techniques etc. I found a great school that specifically focuses on make up. Techniques, tools, and all the stuff I adore. Seriously...I couldn't see myself playing with teeth forever.
And hello....I get a free spa treatment every month, and free eyebrow and lip waxing. FABULOUS!
I want to make people look good, and feel good about themselves. I didn't always feel good about myself, and so many things in my life are on a positive upswing, I can help but feel absolutely beautiful. Inside and out. And isn't that what is most important? I have a great lover, friend, and companion. A small group of great friends that I wouldn't trade for anything. Life is good. Change is good. There is a reason I love butterflies- not only do they signify change, but the are beautiful and free. It takes a lot of courage to make changes, big or small. And seriously people....I have NO fear, and no one is going to stop me from pursuing my dream.
Some people might disagree about me not having any fears....and I will admit that I am still a little afraid of revolving doors, but that is a work in progress...I am really trying to come to terms with that. And I don't so much fear velvet or wind chimes, I just don't enjoy them as much as the next guy. I can't even type the words without cringing!!!! lol

So in a way I feel like Peter Brady going through puberty....well, no maybe I don't...bad analogy...

So wish me luck, and til next time....
follow your dreams, follow your heart, and most importantly your gut.
Do I sound like Oprah /Dr. Phil a bit? I friggin hope not.
ok, gotta go and make it look like I am actually working on my next to last day!

toodles!

Higher and Higher

So I am High.
So I am, high on life.
And I am high on Love...:)
Breaking News!
My little love bug asked me to move in with him!!!
I heart Kevin!

I HEART KEVIN!

I am so happy you would think He asked me to marry him....We are taking things slow, people!! Relax. I am......

So my great best friend *Joe just called after I was starting to relax, He probably sensed how I felt at the time....ANd we were chatting about the regular stuff, how are you, what's new, how's the wife and baby...yada yada
He askes if I had posted a new blog, because he has this inexplicable desire to check, daily my itty bitty blog, because .....we don't talk everyday, weeks can go by...and we haven't spoken, and he relaies solely an my updated blog.

*Joe is my biggest fan!

So that is basically the latest on me. I am happy, I am fed and I am HIGH.
Well....there is the issue with my back, and the fact I, at 29, have the early stages of arthritis in my back, and the ....eh, who cares.
As I was saying.... I am happy and well taken cae of. I am lucky.

I apologize, if I rambled, and if none of this makes sense...I am high.




*names have been changed

KC's wedding

This is the beautiful couple at a wedding this past weekend. Seriously.....Look out Beckham and Posh!!!! New celebrities in town!
lol

Never a dull moment

SERIOUSLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!! grrr
Some of you know about my back/sciatic nerve issues. 9 years ago I had to have back surgery. 7 years ago scar tissue formed around my sciatic nerve causing the same discomfort I had prior to surgery. Pain and numbness all the way to my toes. Well Wednesday it started acting up again. Friday I was driving and my left leg went numb. NOT safe! Needless to say. Etta doesn't look too pretty. I don't want to have to go through the tests, and injections etc again. It is dreadful.

But aside from that, Kevin and I had a FANTASTIC weekend at his friend's wedding up in the white mountains. I had the most gorgeous dress, and I felt like a prom queen! lol I will post some pics later....
Work blows per usual. Anyone hiring?!?!? I am only half kidding....

toodles.
:(

Aahh

Ok so I am feeling very relaxed today. Kind of. For once my mind isn't racing here there and everywhere. I am antsy to get out of work. Looking forward to hitting the beach and taking it easy. Holidays in the middle of the week are great and they suck at the same time. It feels like a Sunday, and this is the last place I want to be! But aside from that, I have spent some great quality time with Kev and it is so sweet. I feel a little bit like I am stretched too thin. My mother does a lot and with her gone, I have assumed the role of checking on Papa. I don't mind at all, he is a love! And doing stuff for him makes me happy. But working the hours I work and my commute on top of it, wears me out. I am trying not to whine. I am just venting a bit.

The fourth of July was fun. Well the night before was fun too. Fireworks on the beach with Kev and his family...very fun. They are lovely people. The actual fourth was spent on the couch...

I am feeling very content and happy and just I don't know...at ease. Nice place to be.

Oy Vey!

So the pressure is on. Seriously. Some crazy things have gone down this past week. Not that I am surprised....c'mon it's me we're referring to! lol
So my boss, my mentor, a second mother etc, suffered a heart attack and went through some crazy procedures. Glad to report she is doing well. Thank god for that! I still have far too much to learn from her. I am not sure when she is returning to work, but I hope and pray she takes all the time in the world. Not only does she deserve it, but I want her to be well and live a long time. She has a daughter and grandson who adore her, and some wonderful friends who love her dearly.

So then a co-worker loses his dad...very sad, and then this morning, I was stuck in the regular stop and go traffic on 93 N, when I sneeze the BIGGEST sneeze in America and rear end the guy in front of me. He then hits the lady in front of him...oy vey! Seriously!!!!!! WTF!? Oh well, how's the premium on my car insurance doing? The important thing is that I am ok, and my car has very minimal damage.

Is it Friday yet? Seriously. I need to relax on the beach.....

Craziness

Things have been a bit crazy for the past few days! Boss is sick and in the hospital, work is borderline chaotic, and I am so F'n tired I could scream! It is painful how tired I am. The weekend was fun. Part party party. Actually from Wednesday until Sunday was one big party. Maybe that is why I can't keep my eyes open?! Might have something to do with it. I heart Kevin. Seriously. He is the best. I bought a dress for the wedding we are going to yesterday and brought it over to show him last night. He made me feel like the most beautiful girl ever! He kept telling me that everyone was going to be jealous of him and his beautiful girlfriend. He is the sweetest. I was floating. So anyways. Now I need to find some nice shoes with a low heel. I don't want to tower over him.

The week ahead is going to be a bit nutso. but I know I will manage. Mum left for GA a couple hours ago, and I am insanely jealous. Miss my sister and nephew and Bro-in-law. But I will get there soon enough.

I am exuding insane amounts of confidence today. Mostly from Kevin comments last night and it was so sweet waking up next to him this morning!
Sigh
Seriously, I couldn't be happier!
xo

fun in the sun!

So what a fantastic weekend! Friday night I spent the evening with Kevin. Had some drinks watched some movies and well...the rest is to be left to the imagination! ;) Made breakfast and went home to lay out in the backyard and watch Allie! We had a great time! Didn't do much Saturday night, just chilled at home with my pseudo fam. Went to bed at about 11pm. Got up helped K plant some trees and got ready to go to the beach with Kevin. We had a great time. Lots of laughs. We are both so relaxed and so alike. We really do have one of the greatest friendships/relationships. We both agree on a lot of the same things which makes it easy for us to be together.
I am so happy. I look like a lobster, but I am happy as a clam.

Good day....good day.

Pay day. With my increase...nice! Pay some billz-yucky. Work my lil tush off. Kristen has named me the Chipper Shipper. Cute! Seriously, I want a T-shirt. SO I am a busy little beaver. Happy as a clam. yada yada yada. I am thinking about Kev and how happy I am since Tuesday. And then my phone vibrates in my pocket. Text message from Kev. I get goose bumps, and my heart skips 2 beats! So I have a date with my love tomorrow night! So excited. Can't wait.

So I am going to look SUPER cute tomorrow!!!

ok, I am going to have a drink with some co-workers.

:)

Floating on cloud nine!

Seriously, I am so flippin happy today!!!! Ok so the Sox won, Kev and I had a BLAST!!!! we enjoy each others company so much and we get along so well...it would have been hard not to have a great time! So, after the game we go out for a few more beverages and chat a bit. Long story short, we are back together and things are going to go VERY slowly at both of our request. Neither one of us wants to rush right back into anything and that is so cool because I want to go back to school and get my crap together. Who knows how long that will take?! lol

So I get up this morning, a little groggy from the 13 beers I had. Well not 13 but it felt like 13. I get in the shower, come out of the bathroom and the damn bird is on the floor right outside the bathroom. Scared the shit out of me! then she attacks my toes. I think the whole neighborhood heard me scream. Hurt like hell. so I put her back on her cage and proceed to get ready for work. I am wrapping up my arm and talking to mum on the phone and I don't notice that the stupid bird has made her way into the room. All of a sudden she bites my toe again, and the little f-er bites the same one!!!!! so now it is throbbing! Then I drop the roll of tape and it rolls under the bureau into the land of dust and the unknown. so silly me still on the phone, put my arm under the bureau and am trying to find the tape. I can't reach it. I go to pull my arm out and I have managed to get stuck. And the bird is still on the prowl and is coming right at me!! Meanwhile mum is laughing her ass off. I finally get my arm free put the bird on her cage again, and grab the broom and successfully retrieve the tape. I grab my stuff to go and the bird is again running after me trying to amputate my chubby little toe. So I chase after her to lock her in the cage and she darts under mums bed. I stop and tell myself I am not going to fight with the bird and I leave. Seriously what a morning.
But then I remember how lucky I am and how happy I am to have Kev back! I am glowing!I haven't been this happy in over a month.

But seriously....not even an evil parrot can ruin my high!

:)

Frolicking! :)

Seriously I am a complete and total jackass!!!! I am running...not I am frolicking around work like a complete FOOL! I am actually WORKING! This is unheard of! But seriously, I am giddy and silly. And I look cute. I only know that because Kristen told me so! Thanks Kristen! love ya doll!

I heart today!

xo

anticipation

ok seriously, in about 24 -25 hours, I will be with Kev at the game. Why am I like a little school girl? I don't expect some big epiphany to take place and for him to want us to be more than friends again....do I secretly want that? I'd be lying if I said no. Seriously though. Would I be ok if it didn't happen? yeah. I have to be ok with it. Good things come to those who wait. I don't want to jump into something serious with him again....IF anything were to transpire from this evening out...it is going to be the slowest moving thing ever!!!! I need Xanex!!!!! lol. My heart is in tachycardia a little bit and my palms are almost sweaty. ok that might be a slight exaggeration...but seriously, my tummy is definitely flip flopping around!!! I need to chill the F out!
ok that is all for now.
Ciao!

*sigh*

What a weekend. Friday night Jasson Heather and I drank 95% of a bottle of Ketel One vodka a third of a bottle of Jager, and got up to unpack their new apartment on Saturday. Well Heather, her sister and I unpacked.....So I went home Saturday late afternoon to sleep. I passed out on the couch with Frankie Obie and Sophie. Then woke up did some laundry at 7 pm. Decided to go to sleep at 9...only I couldn't fall asleep. Thank god for Trazadone. I was in la la land at 9:30! Woke up late Sunday! crap! Sophie shit all over the kitchen floor and I had to leave an hour ago to get to Laura's baby shower!!!!! AAAAAHHHHHH! But who's better than me? I was only a half hour late!!!! I rock. I ate like a pig, caught up with old friends and had a fantastic time. Then I went to visit Mum. And I hit a wall. I was so tired. Must have been the baklava (did I spell that right) So sweet, so heavy, SO fattening!!!!! :) So I am getting back on my jogging schedule today!!! NO excuses!
I am looking forward to the Red Sox game tomorrow. I am going with Kev. I am going to play it cool. I will be cool. I swear! Kev is a recent ex whom I care for a great deal.....A girl can dream right?
I am not sure if his sister is giving me false hope, but according to her, I don't know. I can't think about it. I am not giving up on him completely though. Not yet. Am I crazy? maybe. I am a hopeless romantic, I know that to be true. My heart is definitely on my sleeve. I believe in fairy tales for crissakes!!!!! lol. I am hopeful. If it isn't Kev then it will be someone. Sometime. hopefully before I am 40. but 40 is the new 30...right?
Ok I should get to work....
toodles!

Everything's coming up Jessica

Seriously.....
I went to dunkies this morning to have a ceremonial hang over coconut iced coffee and sausage egg and cheese on a croissant. Total was $4.97. I hand the non English speaking girl a $20. and she gives me $21.03 back!!!! Woo-hoo! Free breakfast AND I made a buck! so if that is any indication as to how my day is going to be.....I am wicked psyched. that's right I said wicked and psyched in the same sentence!!!! lol
So, I get a call from mom dukes asking me if I want tickets to the Sox game Tuesday night....Does a bear shit in the woods? Hell yeah! So I am super psyched! Again with the psyched, I know! LMAO! I am cracking myself up. *sigh* So now all I have to do now is play the numbers or something and maybe I will hit it big! I might be setting my sights a bit high, but a girl can dream can't she?
So if anything else really great happens I will keep you posted, for sure! Since when do I talk like a California babe?!

ta ta for now!
:}

I love music, sweet sweet music. and unloving....a 2 for!

Hooray! I have tunes! So excited.
But seriously on to other matters. This is one of the heart. I was thinking to myself yesterday....I said "self, why is it when you fall in love with someone, it is a gradual process?" You meet someone, you send some time with them, get to know them. Like turns to lust and then forget it you jump right into the love boat. So you love this person so deeply and passionately and share so many precious moments together. Then shit goes down and for whatever reason, a heart gets broken. Now I have done some breaking in my time, but I have been on the receiving end more times than I like to remember... So most times you are given a damn good reason. Found someone else, someone cheats, lies, etc. But on those very rare occasions they break it off with no real reason. This has happened twice to me. I did nothing wrong and things are going fantastically, and then one day BAM! He just doesn't feel the same anymore. How can one person say this to someone they supposedly loved and cared for so much? I think that there should be an Unloving period. Not as long as the time leading up to the loving, but enough time for the broken hearted to unlove the breaker of their heart. I think it is only fair. I don't know I could be talking out of my ass, but I want the person that loves me next to unlove me when and if he decides to tear my heart out of my chest and beat it to a pulp.

Good day!
;)

Quiet

ok so day three without the radio on my trek to work (sometimes a 2 hour ordeal) I thought by now I would be beside myself. Surprisingly, I am not. I made it home last night with no entertainment/music etc....not so bad. Seriously. I have been using the MP3 player in one ear sometimes, and lets be honest it just isn't the same as my stereo system in Etta the Jetta. But I have to be completely honest, being alone with my crazy thoughts isn't as scary as I thought it was going to be. I actually like myself!! lol and I am that much more in touch with myself. Now if they can't fix my radio today, by Friday I might be singing a different tune altogether. with no background music. I may have a few less hairs on my head. So cross your fingers people....Jess seriously needs music in her car.....

:-)

First Blog

So I decided to join the blogging community. I am a late bloomer and don't have much to offer, but this is going to be my online journal. So you can tune in to mi vida loca and laugh and cry along with me....ought to be fun. I am looking forward to sharing some random thoughts and my life happenings.

So today June 6, 2007, I am still at wok at 6:50 pm. I was supposed to drop Etta the Jetta off at the dealership so that they can fix my radio. I have been driving to work all week with no radio. How's my 2 hour commute into work going?! lol I unfortunately am stuck here and won't be able to drop it off until tomorrow. no biggie. I can survive.
I would talk on the phone the whole time, but I have a sinus/allergy thing going on and sound like a man/Fran Drescher....not a great combination.

I have my first fan. Lindsay. the Jew. slacker pot smoker I work with. He needs to eat a few cheesburgers. I don't care if he is a vegetarian. He actually quit smoking pot, apparently, the jury is still out on that. I have a hard time believing it. But if he did then good for him. He looks goddamn anorexic. But seriously Lindsay nothing but love for you!!! :)

So as I sit in this sweatshop, I am pondering so many things. Moving home to mum's house, finding a new job and going back to school. I can't just do one thing at a time. I decide to shake it all up at once. Will I ever learn. I don't have a pot to piss in or a window to throw it out of, but hey what the hell you only live once. I do want to go back to school. I really really do. I can't work at Atlantis Components for the rest of my life. That would be torture! So I have to get my ass financially stable once and for all! I am almost f'n 30!!!!!!

Well now that my mind has thrown up, I am calling it a day and am heading out.
