Strange Quiz

I stole this from my little brother's myspace page. It's a quiz with strange questions. I thought it looked fun.

But first here's a picture I took tonight. I'm laying on my bed with my face on the pillow.

I removed all of the color except my eyes. They look very green which is strange because I thought they looked blue tonight but that could have been from my blue softball shirt and in this picture I have a teal tank top on.

What the heck, one more picture just of my eyeglasses which I love and a new book I am reading.

Looking back to July of 2007

I decided today would be a good day to look back at July of 2007 to see what was going on.

Lots of stuff. Harry Potter #7 came out, Michelle and I went to Louisville, KY with Jack and met up with Dad, I played some softball, took some Fireworks pictures, went to the Nickelback concert (awesome!), I went to a Twins game with Kim, Thomas and Jamie (awesome!). It was fairly jam-packed with stuff.

Here are some pictures.

Grandpa feeding jack a lemonade. He was all over that like white on rice.

Grandpa gave Jack a lemon. I love that expression on his face.

   

he didn't like it so he starts rubbing the lemon off his tongue. He still does that. It's absolutely hilarious.

So here's Dad an Michelle reading the map. I got regulated to the backseat with Jack 'cause Michelle was pregnant with Gracie and was more comfortable in the front seat otherwise I would have navigated.

Here is a picture of my neighbor's corn, last year on the 4th. It's huge. I'm 5'4" tall so that's probably around 6' tall. This year it's probably up to my waist. I'll take a picture tonight and post it. Pretty pathetic but that's what happens when you plant 3 weeks late due to rain and cold temperatures.

Garbage that comes out of my mouth

Here's an old pic. of me, probably 3-4 years ago. Just thought I'd post a picture for a change.

Taken by Michelle.

I just thought I'd post some of the crap that's been coming out of my mouth lately. Well, crap is a bit strong, we'll just say stuff.

Now why do I do this? Well, because it's fun to look back even a year later to see how I've changed. What phrases do I use, what words, is it stolen from a movie? yadayadayada

"What the f*ck!"

"Christles you're a blowhole."

"You're killin' me Smalls."

"Umm...."

"Work with me here."

"I never said I was perfect."

"Let's go for a bike ride."

"I was being facetious."

"That's Chris's tumor talking." (got this from Ryan G.)

"I'm done."

"I've got a lot of energy lately."

"Jack, who do you love the most?" "Who loves you the most?" "How did you get so cute?"

"My frustration exists on several levels today."

"I just want to be around people."

A bit of wisdom

I've been thinking lately about a phrase I've heard and read before that is supposed to be wisdom to live by.

"As soon as you stop looking, whatever you are wanting/wishing for will come to you."

Okay, that's paraphrased, by the way. I've seen this particular bit of wisdom come true for people, especially those looking for love/relationship. Yes, I have.

So I asked myself this question, "What am I waiting for? Will I ever get what I want? Do I try to hard to get what I want? What if I just live my life, will it truly come to me? Will I screw it up when I get it? Will I see it when it's staring me in the face?" Those are daunting questions with no answers really. (sigh)

Mental note to self: patience sweetheart, patience. it's a virtue. you've heard of it. invoke it. own it. be patient. settle. live your life. enjoy everything you can. don't hold back. take nothing for granted. stop annoying the people you love/like (jk - if they love you back then they won't be annoyed by you. they'll love you for you.) :)

This post probably sounds a bit depressing but it's not. Just a general comment on life, that's all. I've been feeling a bit philosophical lately. For instance I asked a friend of mine this question the other day, "What do you want from life?" It doesn't get much deeper than that. I should have warned 'em to bring the waders. I didn't get an answer.

I know what my answer is though. Happiness. In all it's forms. Love. Family. Friends. Work. (I could go on but I won't).

If you are so inclined, leave a comment (no names are necessary if you would rather not) and tell me what you want from life. It can be a one word answer or a paragraph.

edit: I stumbled across this quote today, it seemed pertinent. "We are shaped by our thoughts; we become what we think. When the mind is pure, joy follows like a shadow that never leaves." - Buddha

Thinkin' about...

random stuff today. Again, I've got that ping-pong brain today. Sh*t just keeps going back and forth bouncing off the walls in my head. I've got too many thoughts popping around so I'm going to write 'em down, so I get it out of my head. (i got the idea from this blog Vintage Film)

Here goes.

"oh my!" - said in my best-most sexy-come hither-voice designed to melt the minds and loins of any available man (only in my very wildest dreams does this actually work though)::Bull Durham is one of my absolute favorite, most quotable, HOT, true, baseball movies ever, oh and it's got Kevin F'in Costner in it, I should watch it::my lip and jaw are f*cking numb and it's irritating the sh*t out of me.::"Where's my pat?"::skadoosh!::irritable, that would be me today::dr.mario on my mind::star wars on saturday sweetheart::punchy, a very good adjective::"no cheese me jen!"::"Have You Ever Really Loved a Woman" this song is on my mind.::I've got a short fuse today::Phil Collins lyrics: "When I'm feeling blue all I have to do is take a look at you, then I'm not so blue. When your close to me, I can feel your heartbeat. I can feel you breathing near my ear, wouldn't you agree, baby you and me got a groovy kind of love. Anytime you want to you can turn me onto, anything you want to, anytime at all, when i kiss your lips, ooh i start to shiver, can't control the quivering inside, wouldn't you agree, baby you and me got a groovy kind of love."::softball double-header tonight, should be fun even though we are playing the team of jerks::cell phones are the devil::i'm going out of my mind with brides and bridal stuff::normal is a relative term::how much patience do I really have?::a saying I've been thinking about, "i'm human not perfect!"::my confusion level recently is about 8 out of 10::when one area of your life is going spectacularly well there's always another that does not::i love my ipod::i love you Missy and Diane you made me feel really good on Sat(Megan's wedding)::minestrone at the Olive Garden::a ride on Ryan's crotch rocket::i need a little snuggling, cuddling, kissing and loving not necessarily in that order::"F*CK!"::my little brother is too cool, he danced with me, Kimmie, Kelly and Jamie at the Medford streetdance and wasn't embarassed. my heart is bursting right now::a cucumber is a big friggin' falic symbol::my heart likes to get in the way of my sensible head::love me for me.::walk softly and carry a big stick::paperwork

So, that's it. I think I got most of it. That's quite a bit, some deep, some not, some pervy, some romantic, some crazy, some random, some queer...

My new boxers

So I stopped at the Gap Outlet in Medford 'cause I like that store and usually the stuff is cheap and fits me the way I like. I found these pair of boxers that were so cute. Oh yeah, I bought 'em. Super cheap too. I might have to go and buy another pair I like them so much. They are cute and comfy.

Yes, I realize this post is all about a pair of boxers but I'm picky so if I find something I really like, I like it and will put it on my blog. I know everybody's got some article of clothing they adore and wear constantly. Come on, admit it, you know you do. A pair of shoes, a necklace, a favorite pair of undies, a pair of jeans, sunglasses, a hat???

So here's a pick of my new boxers and knobby looking knees.

Well, if you look on the left leg you'll see a nice purple bruise and the butterfly bandages from a cut I got. Don't ask. Basically I'm a klutz and accident prone, we'll leave it at that. But I'm really lovin' these boxers.

Okay, Jen out.

A couple soothing quotes for you today.

"Green calm below, blue quietness above." - John Greenleaf Whittier, "The Pennsylvannia Pilgrim"

"Sit in reverie and watch the changing color of the waves that break upon the idle seashore of the mind." - Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, "The Song of Hiawatha" (p.s. I think he's one of my favorite poets. I had to memorize his "The Village Blacksmith" in 6th grade. I love the poem.

"GAther a shell fromt he strown beach and listen at its lips: they sigh the same desire and mystery, the echo of the whole sea's speech." - Dante Gabriel Rossetti, "The Sea Limits"

Hey, it's Monday...whoopee

Nothing much to report here. I'll be posting some father's day pics tonight. For all you middle-aged ladies prepare to drool over my Dad. I've been told by people, other than my mother, that he's pretty good looking. So be warned. :)

How am I feeling today? Hmm...that's an interesting question.

• A. I hate Mondays
• B. my weekend went by pretty quick
• C. It's a beautiful day out and I'm not out there. (I did take a walk at work. I needed to escape, you ever have one of those days.) (p.p.s. Makes me want to be out on a motorcycle even though I just went last Thursday.)
• D. I'm thinking about playing Dr. Mario. (Hey Chris, want to get owned again?) LOL
• E. I'm nervous about my wisdom teeth extraction. I don't know why. I'm not a wuss and I'll be fine, I'm just nervous. Same as how I get nervous when I get up to bat in softball.
• F. A piece of glass from a picture frame slipped out of my grip last night and sliced a nice grand canyon-sized (um...that's an obvious exaggeration) gash on the front of my ankle. It was probably over and inch long and a 1/4 inch or more deep. Damn that hurt. I sat there in my underwear and a t-shirt with my foot propped up in the sink running cold water over it. Ouch. I almost thought I'd need stitches it was so deep. I don't think so but we'll see. Jeez, I'm such a clutz. You should have heard the profanities coming out of my mouth. I sounded like a drunken sailor. (I never said I was lady-like, quite the contrary in fact.) If I was on the radio it would have sounded like this. mother-bleeper, son-of-a-bleep, jesus bleeping christ, god-damn-it, holy bleeping hell, i'm such a bleeping klutz, that bleeping hurts, piece of bleeping bleep, bleep, bleep, bleep, ouch, ahhh, bleep, damn it, that bleeping hurts...after that the mad just set in so I was ticked off that I was injured. Yes, it hurt but I didn't cry. I'm not really a crier when I get injured. I just get real quiet and try to block out the pain. Well, and I get mad.
• G. Kung Fu Panda here I come! I figured that since I'm getting my wisdom teeth out I should go now because I love to laugh, full-bodied laughs that come from the gut where I throw my head back and just go to town. So...since I won't really be able to open my trap after Wed. for awhile I should go before then. :)
• H. Do you ever feel like you are just screwing your life up? Not intentionally but you just are? Somedays I get that feeling which makes me only want to try harder to not mess it up.
• I. I'm feeling guilty today. Can't say why on this blog, I won't delve into it, but I just am.
• J. I'm feeling needy lately. Need need need. That's me. I should try and get back a little of my independence but now that I have my family & friends (loved ones) around I want to be with them a lot. I enjoy my family and friend's company. So sue me I guess. Maybe I should rephrase the independent thing. I am still independent but I love having everyone around to be with. Makes life that much more enjoyable.

I think I'll stop at J because I don't want to write anymore, because my name starts with J and because it feels like a good place to shut 'er down.

Jack. the Lawnmower. and Grandpa

Michelle, Guy, Gracie and Jack made an inpromptu visit to Grandma and Grandpa's this morning. So we had some playtime outside. We put Jack on the lawnmower in the first gear which is basically crawling along slower than a turtle walks.

So this is Jack, sitting on the lawnmower all on his own while it's moving. If I can figure out how to turn consecutive pictures into a mini-movie and post it on here I will then you'll get the full effect but for right now this will have to do.

Me and Jack tearing around the yard in 4th gear. He loves riding the lawnmower. He does. One of his favorite things to do.

This is us going down the ditch. I said to Jack, "Hey buddy, want to go down the ditch!" He enthusiastically yells, "YEAH!" So we did. Who am I to say no to that.

Jack getting his kicks at the bottom of the ditch. "weeee!"

Moving along.

Jack trying to steer us into the culvert. He liked to keep his hands on the whell which meant disaster because he'd try and steer us into trees, people, bushes, culverts...

Okay, time out from the lawnmower to, as Jack would say, "A Grandpa doing?" which means what is Grandpa doing? He's welding and fixing the hay cutter. So Jack decided to help by hammering the screw and nut. Oookay. Nice try Squeak but no cigar. It was cute anyway and he doesn't hit hard enough to hurt anything anyways.

Jack sitting on the "big tractor". Me standing there making sure he doesn't try to jump off by himself, which he would do and end up hurting himself. As soon as he got up, moved the wheel a bit, played with the hydraulics, he wanted down. That's why I'm making the face. :)

So this is what happens when it's time for buh bye. Yeah, Jack's fairly well upset. He doesn't like to leave Grandpa or all the fun gadgets he can get into and "help fix".
