Everything You Own in a Box to the Left

I dyed my hair tonight!!!! Well I should say my fabulous roommate/ hair stylist Mr.Christy dyed my hair. I was growing tired of the whole blonde highlights thing so I decided it was time to go back to dark. And since I am po and not able to afford to go to the salon Mr. Christy was the way to go!!! It's still in the towel right now cause I'm too lazy to blowdry it so I will see in a little while how it looks...its so hard to tell cause when you get out of the shower it of course looks black cause its wet..lets hope it lightens as it dries or else I may have black hair again for a little while lol!!!
In other news I'm going home this weekend for Karen's birthday dinner tomorrow night and to work on Friday and hang with Kelly and to visit Stev on Saturday!!!! All three shall be fabulous!!!! Hopefully Karen likes her gift, I bought it today at Pier One..its a vase she said she liked. Since she basically picked it out I'm thinking the odds are in my favor she will like it. I'm don't know where we are going to dinner, but I love food so hopefully somewhere good. I'm liking food too much recently...I think I put on a couple lbs. Which I know isn't a bad thing since everyone tells me I'm too thin, but I'm worried that if I don't start to exercise a little it's all going to settle in my stomach and that would suck!!!
I don't know why but I have the urge to go see a movie. I haven't been to a movie in a theater since like the summer and I have really wanted to go all week. I just keep renting movies, but its not the same. I really wanted to see Saw 3 cause the first two were so good but I never got the chance..guess I'll just rent it later lol. Maybe I'll go see that movie Borat..everyone on campus keeps saying how funny it is so I might have to check it out.
I can't wait till winter break so I can read some good books!!! I just ordered five books off Amazon and I'm so excited to read them..yes I'm excited about reading I am a nerd hehe!!! I ordered the Glass Castle because my professor recommended it. And I am still on my quest to read some good classic type books so I got In Cold Blood, The Thornbirds, Flowers in the Attic, and East of Eden..all recommended by random folks. Hopefully they are as good as people say.

INSANITY!!!!

WOW!!! I haven't updated this blog in eons!!!! Thats because I have like zero spare time. The only time I'm not running around like crazy is between the hours of 12am-3am which is when I'm usually catching up on homework or thinking about the 20 million things I still need to get done for the week. School has been going great, but it keeps me uber busy. I rocked all my midterms that was exciting. Its always good to get those done cause it makes ya confident for the finals..hopefully!!! On top of school I'm still trying to help plan the wedding which is gettting sooo close..its like 190 days or something according to the knot.com countdown!!! Everytime I log onto that site to search for some info I need I dread reading that little counter in the corner. It might as well be a giant flashing sign screaming how little time I have left to get things under control. I still have to plan and throw a bridal shower, get my dress fitted and altered, find a date, buy a gift, make favors, write a toast, and like three million other little details that I don't yet know about!!!! Weddings are soo much work and sooo much money and it isn't even my wedding...being Maid of Honor is hardcore!!!
In other news, Halloween was yesterday!!! I was a leaf blower..it was fabulous!!!! I found the idea online and since I have a limited budget it was the perfect $3 idea lol!!!! The pictures came out pretty funny and everyone got a good laugh once I explained to them what I was.
Tonight the roommates and I watched the Break-Up...I didn't like it. It wasn't that funny like everyone said it was and it didn't end well. I'm sorry but I like to see a happy/resolved ending and when it doesn't happen that pisses me off. Yeah I get it real life is complicated and messy and unable to be resolved in an hour and a half, but Hollywood isn't real life. When I rent a movie I'm not looking for realistic...if I want to be complicate and messy I'd watch real people's lives. That is my beef for this evening.

P.S.

The Eagles kicked ass today and it was fabulous!!!! Lito is beast!!!!

My name is Jackie and I am a chocolate addict....

Okay so basically I've been eating complete junk food since coming back to school a month ago and I feel yucky. I don't know if its a combonation of eating junk food, like endless twix bars and doritos, and stress or what but my skin is starting to look bad. And I'm getting fat!!! Since I just looked on the knot the other day and realized its only 213 days till Karen's wedding this is not kosher. Being in a wedding is really stressful..and this isn't even my wedding!!! Being maid of honor means you have to help plan everything and throw a freakin bridal shower and other shit I don't know how to do. Thank God Karen's friends are cool and gonna help me out a lot!!! I am stressin about the skin issue though cause I wanna look good in the pictures and stuff. I don't really like being in the spot light so I'm glad all eyes will be on Karen, but there are still those few moments when people will focus on me, like when I walk down the aisle where I will probably fall and when I give my toast that no one will find touching or funny lol, and I'd like to look as nice as possible at these awkward moments lol. Anyways I went to the derm and she put me on a few different things so hopefully that helps. Other than that she told me to watch my diet and try to minimize stress...since the second is almost impossible to do while at school I decided to try the diet thing. As of thursday I officially gave up chocolate..and it has not been easy!!!! Everything in this apartment has chocolate in it..we have cookies, ice cream, reeses, twix, mr good bars, churches, baby ruths, butterfingers, and chocolate covered pretzels...I want to die!!!! Its so hard to not eat it when its sitting right in front of you..literally as I type this the candy bowl is staring at me =(
Anywayz thats the reason I wrote this blog..its my ode to no chocolate..4 days sober and truckin along...

EAGLES!!!!!!!!!

Last night was absolutely amazing!!!!! I got to do something I've been dreaming of doing since I was 8 years old watching football on Sunday on the couch with my dad!!!! I went to the EAGLES game!!!! People always say how much cooler football is live and how amazing the atmosphere is when your in that stadium full of people..and they are sooo right!!!! Janine and I had sooo much fun at the game..the fans were fierce and since it was a monday night game everyone was extra pumped!!!! Of course the game was even more amazing since we won lol!!!! Also cause our seats were great..26 rows back on the 30. I felt like I could reach out and touch McNabb lol...and I got some bangin pictures on my camera phone!!!! I still can't believe we actually went...the whole way there we both couldn't believe we were going. My entire family thought I was kidding when I told them. I know I'm not athletic at all..mostly because I am uber lazy, but also because I am a tiny little woman. But I do watch a hell of a lot of tv and I've been watching the eagles since I can remember. And I think I know a lot about football for a 20 year old girl...I know all about the game itself and I can name almost all of the eagles starters and a few select players from most of the NFL teams. I think thats fairly impressive lol!!! So boo to anyone who thinks I don't know football or shouldn't have gotten to go see the game..boo!!!!
Anywayz the game was amazing and definitely like top five on the list of coolest shit I've ever done!!!! I've now seen an eagles game, a flyers game, and like millions of phillies game..the eagles game by far was the coolest..although the flyers game was quite pimp too!!! One day when I am rich I will have season tickets to all the teams and be one of those cool people who knows the people who sit around them since they all have season tickets!!!! And of course when I have my season tickets I will have to tailgate so I'm gonna buy a camper and be one of those cool people who spends the whole game day in a parking lot in philly cause that is pimp!!!! And since nice people have shared their season tickets with me for free..I will do the same when I am the rich one...so stay friends with me and you may luck out in like 15 years hehe!!!!

Life's Funny Like That

Yeah so I haven't updated this piece in forever!!!! Mostly because college is lame and I don't have any time!!! Also because I feel like everything is a blurr recently. I feel like I never stop moving all day long and then at the end of the day I try to reflect on what I did and I don't really recall. I'm not losing my mind I know what I did..but I just feel like I was there but not there...I dunno its a strange feeling that I hope is only temporary. Anyways not too much is new..classes are lame-o. Econ is so boring and confusing all at the same time its amazing!!! Stat is satan in a hat!!! Crim is the most boring class ever...don't kid yourselves into thinking a class about crime is fun or cool..its not its lame and makes Jackie want to fall asleep!!! I have a Stat quiz tomorrow so I am kind of stressin. I did really well on the first one but that shit was easier..its funny though..as bad as I think I am with math and statistics there are some people in my class that make me feel like I could be teaching the class...like do they just let anyone with cash into college anymore??? The only class I'm kosher with right now is my online class cause I don't have to deal with annoying people asking stupid questions or boring lectures. Its just two quizzes and essay posts each week. Which are so lame its sad.
I'm going home this weekend for work. I don't want to go at all..my job is lame and I am tired of not having downtime on the weekends. I feel like working every other weekend..which I realize is like nothing to most people..is sucking away my fun. But I guess its a good reason to go home and get my laundry done and get food =) Last weekend Janine took us to Red Lobster it was pimp..I had never been. It was yummy!!! Saturday people came down..it was fun!!! I got to go to the beach at night..it was soo warm..the ocean was delightful. I heart the beach =)

I'm so glad its fall!!! I love wearing sweaters and flip flops at the same time!!! I love crunching leaves with my feet and not sweating all the time!!! Plus tv is amazing. All I have to say is Greys is the best show on tv right now. Some of my other favs are Runway, The Tree, and ER. Desperate is looking good again so I'm giving it a second chance. Brothers and Sisters is new and was really good so I might keep up with that if I have time. Gonna watch Ugly Betty cause it looks funny. I watched a little Dancing with the Stars even though its lame...but hey Slater is on it and that is just too funny!!

Different But The Same

So the first week of classes is over..for me anyways..no fridays!!!! And it was pretty much the same shit in a different year lol. We moved in and pimped out the apartment..changed the furniture around a bit so its even cooler than last year!!!! Everyone had better come visit and party with us or I will beat you!!! Tuesday classes started..they aren't too bad so far. Statistics is probably my scary class this semester but I have my crazy professor from last year again so thats always entertaining!!! He is just as weird as always..good to know some things never change!!! Econ is just time consuming and lame and my night class and online class are just boring but simple. This week seemed like it took forever but it was only three days long for me!!! I am glad it is over and things are back to normal..its like we never left.

Children get older, I'm getting older too

Okay so I turned 20 last week and it hasn't been too bad so far. At least 21 is getting much closer!!! It's been a really looong week..between working at AH and babysitting I was not home at all!!!! I had to wake up uber early, but I did make some good money my last week at home so at least that will be helpful!!! This week seemed like it lasted forever...my birthday seems like it was ages ago!!! It was fabulous btw..dinner at PF Changs was amazing and my cake came out sooo good..two layers of chocolate with white frosting and bananas and strawberries!!!! And I got some cool presents!!! Benchwarmers on dvd and Greys season one!!!! Mini gummi bears!!! A bangin pillow!!!! Pimp flowers!!!! I love having flowers delievered its such a nice suprise!!! And the sister got me some pimp makeup..smashbox is quite fabulous!!! The Mag bought me clothes and junk..always good!!! I love my birthday cause I love presents!!! Right now I'm looking through the JCPenny Christmas book..something lame that I have done since birth. I never noticed it before but the catalouge actually has a totally unique smell. I know that sounds nuts but it really does. I dunno how I just figured this out or why I sniffed it, but I did and it does!!! I'm dog earring all the pages of the stuff I like as a hint to the Mag for what to buy me!!!
Anyways the past few days have been sad cause everyone left me. It sucks being the last to go..I'm all alone!!! Today was my first day of solitude so I went shopping for school stuff..nothing like the last minute!! Mag and I shop well under pressure..we dropped like $400 in two hours!!! The new Walmart is weird but cheap so we hit there firsts and got the basics like food, paper products and cleaning junk. Then Target for stuff we couldn't get at Walmart and Famous Footwear cause we had coupons. I got cute sneakers and the best boots ever!!! They are amazing..I am in love!!!
Tonight was kind of fun. I hung out with the family and Mag made a turkey dinner for my last dinner home!!! It was nice..Karen came over to eat with us!!! Dinner was delightful...I love turkey...its my fav!!!! I guess I will miss my family a little while I'm at school..I will definitely miss the dinners!!! My family is pretty entertaining. Tonight we had some good laughs watching Bailey hump Charlie. We are dog sitting for the neighbors and apparently Bailey is gay!!! He is a big fan of Charlie and its really hard to keep them apart lol!!! Its also very entertaining to watch my family try!! I don't really care if Bailey is a mo he's still fabulous to me!!!!
Only one more day till I move back to Stockton. I'm ready to go now. I didn't think I was the other day but now that everyone else is gone its not the same anymore..there's nothing keeping me here so I'm ready to roll.

Tomorrow!!!!!

That's right..tomorrow is my day of birth!!! I have slightly adjusted to the idea of being 20..I mean all my friends are 20 now including Lau and they are surviving so how bad can it be??? It's not like life is ever all roses so I'm thinking age isn't gonna change things. It kind of sucks I've been a little off lately and I'm not sure why. I think its just end of summer blues added on to some family issues and life in general. It just sucks though cause its my birthday and I'm trying to be really happy and carefree and thats just been tough recently. I just keep trying to focus on really happy fun things that are coming up soon so I can try and forget about the not so great stuff going on right now.
And since tomorrow is my birthday that is a good distraction!!!! I'm so excited to go to dinner at Pf Changs with my friends and family!!! I am going to dinner with 8 of the people I love most so I guess I can't complain..but I do wish that everyone I love could be there!!! And after dinner everyone gets to eat the fabulous birthday cake that I am making!!!! Thats my job for tomorrow!!!! And I'm putting fruit in the center..bananas and strawberries..it shall be delighftul!!!!
Well that's about it..I'm gonna go soak up my last 18 or so hours of being 19!!!!!

7 DAYS!!!!!

Omg I just did the math and I have only slept like 5 hours in the past 36 hours and I love it!!!! I am so hyper right now its amazing...I've decided to type anything that come to mind in the blog so its not gonna make a whole lot of sense. I am chilling in my bed right now eating leftover kfc mashed potatoes that I of course bought on the drive home this morning..cause what is better to top off a night of drinking then a hungover ride home and a stop at the local kfc!!!!! I swear to god I have the soul of a fat kid trapped in the body of a skinny woman with a rockin metabolism thanx to jack's side of the family. The sad thing is I look at my aunts and I can see that one day time will catch up with me and I'm gonna be fat!!!! But I've decided I will embrace it because I will at least be eating fabulous food!!!! I love KFC...the smell of it is amazing..I am almost out of mashed and very sad about this!!! I love when my car smells like kfc hours after I've had it in there!!! If I could bottle the scent I probably would. Enough about the mashed lol.....
Last night was the best friends birthday and it was freakin amazing!!!! Kelly was hysterical she was so drunk and crazy and I loved it!!! And the 98 cent tiara blinked the entire night which is amazing..I love how the littlest things can brighten my day...like a good deal on a party accessory..way better than the lame ass sash Kelly wanted hehe!!!! Anywayz the night was amahzing and so many random things happened..some good, some bad, some very weird but there is way too much to type out so I will just bore people with the tales in person!!!! But I swear the best part of any night of drinking is the random shit that happens when everyone is crammed into one room trying to go to sleep and being cranky and stupid...last night there was like 6 of us crammed into one room with Kelly's cat and it was nuts!!!! Mostly because people were allergic to the damn cat so we had to chase it out hehe..poor dixie!!! Anywho last night was fabulous and I got to meet cool new people which is always fun!!!!
In conclusion..its 7 days till my birthday which is exciting and sad...cause its really the last thing that happens before school starts again....but it will be fabulous so I guess its kosher!!!!

16 DAYS!!!

IT'S ONLY 16 DAYS TILL MY BIRTHDAY!!!!! I haven't decided exactly what I am doing to celebrate the momentous event that is my day of birth but some things are in the works!!! They include Laura and I getting tattoos because we are exactly 48 hours apart to the mintue!!! 10:26 am!!!! And taking everyone to dinner at PF Changs on the night of my birth!!! I am also trying to decide what kind of cake I want to get...at first I was thinking the same amazing chocolate cake I got last year from Terminis and then I thought about a nice cheesecake from Cheescake Factory now that there is one in Cherry Hill...I am open to suggestions. I have decided I have to do something extra special this year because I am bummed about just turning 20 when everyone else is turning 21 soon!!! If it wasn't for Laura being almost as young as me I would cry..its gonna suck next summer when everyone can go to bars and we can't=( But once we turn 21 life will be fabulous cause then everyone will be 21 together!!! Being 20 is just lame its like a waste of a year so Lau and I decided we aren't turning 20 we are simply going to be 19 part two!!! Being 20 sounds really old and like we have to start being grown ups and we don't want to so we are waiting to be grown up until we officially hit 21 and can legally use alcohol to soften the blow!!! So basically we are turning 19 again so we will be 19,19 21!!!! We think it is a pretty good plan lol!!!!
Enough about that...I am being rather lazy today cause I am tired and slightly annoyed with life!!! Its so hard to make plans around everyone's schedules and Lau and I have been bustin our asses to do so!!! So much is happeneing in the next three weeks and I am excited cause I will be uber busy and having fun but it also sucks cause at the end of the three weeks we all have to seperate!!!! The fact that it is really only three weeks blows cause it makes the end feel soo near and it also makes it seem like we did nothing all summer cause it went so fast..thats really not the case though!!! I think this summer was delightful and we did accomplish some of the goals on our to do lists...we are still gonna try to squeeze in a few dinners so we can hit Cheesecake and a night out in Philly and if we get to do our shore weekend it will almost be like we did a mini roadtrip since we are all trying to save funds=(
Anywayz that is about it for now...Jack is out front washing my car and I'm probably gonna get yelled at cause I didn't do it myself!!! I said I was doing it tomorrow but apparently that isn't soon enough..he is becoming such a pain in the ass...he needs a life!!!! So does Mag!!!
I should shower and get ready for the shore tonight!!!! I am so excited...shore food is amazing...almost as amazing as the coconut shrimp I had last night for dinner with the girls!!!! Yesterday was girls day at Lauras and it was delightful..I will miss everyone when we all leave for school..at least I get to take Janine with me=)

Round Two

Saturday was officially round two at the Hotel McGeehan and it was fabulous!!! I had been having a rough week and it was exactly what I needed. I got a little more intoxicated then I probably should have but I don't care!!! Their are some freakin hysterical pictures and I redeemed myself and actually won a round or two of beer pong...I think I am better at the game when I am drunk hehe!!!
As for the drama I'm dealing with right now..well it sucks and of course when it rains it pours. Like I get that life is never gonna be perfect but I'm hoping things level off a little before I freakin lose my mind!!! Down the shore this past weekend my family was driving me freakin nuts..to the point it was either leave saturday afternoon and kill someone lol!!!! Work is getting annoying cause I am running out of things to do. And the Phillies are pissing me off cause they traded good people and they sent Abreu to the freakin Yankees the one team I have refused to cheer for in the past cause they are assholes..I may have to change my mind about that!!! Anywayz I don't even know what end is up right now..I don't even know what I want right now like all of my issues have no clear cut solution so I guess I'm just gonna have to suck it up and deal.
My parents come home saturday and I can't decide if this is good or bad??? Like I have to clean everything up pretty before they come home so that sucks but this house is kind of big and a little creepy at night so I don't mind the idea of them being here to keep me company sometimes. But them coming home means no more hotel..which means no more parties...I will miss those..but there is always next year!!! I have to figure out what I'm gonna do with all the liquor cause I found a ton of stuff in weird places in my fridge and freezer and I'm gonna have to find a way to get it to school in like a month...oy only a month till school..another thing that blows!!! Yeah so this blog is kind of lame and makes very little sense to probably anyone who reads it but I'm posting it anyway!!!

Party!!!!

Last night was amazing!!!! I think there was 20-25 ppl here throughout the night and it was sooo much fun!!!! I can recall almost all of the evening but somethings are a little fuzzy hehe!!!! I just wanted to say thanks to everyone who came!!!! Its interesting how every year I do this I learn some new lessons..this year I learned I need to put a lock on the thermostat so someone doesnt put it on 67 all night, hide everyones purses upstairs so weird ppls boyfriends who look 12 don't steal my roommates spare change and $20, and hide all the good drinks so people don't sneak into my basement fridge and drink all my Mikes and Smirnoff!!! And the most important things I learned pizza throwing is a definite no and survivor flip cup isnt a game that should be played on a coffee table in your carpeted family room!!!! Pay close attention people these are lessons to live by!!! Other than a few stupid mishaps the night was fabulous and I looked hott with my new hair!!! There will be some pimp pictures on my myspace/ facebook once I become motivated to put them on there!!!
Other than that the hotel mcgeehan is open for two weeks and it is gonna be delightful..I love company so anyone is welcome to come sleep over or chill with me..unless you are gonna be a mo and try to break one of the new rules I have established based on the mishaps I learned from last night!!!

CRANKY!!!!

I am officially cranky!!!! I've had a long and annoying day and I've decided to vent about it..but I will spare anyone who reads this with the short version of my drama because I am uber tired and I have work tomorrow. First off...shopping for bridesmaids dresses sucks!!!! If you ever wanna feel unattractive and abnormal go try on bridesmaids dresses..it works!!! Karen, Kara, Kathleen and I went this morning and it was awful. Most of the dresses were just so ugly in person and of course everything looked horrible on me!!!! I hate what an issue dress shopping is for me. I always kid around about how I miss going to proms and getting all dressed up..frankly I can't believe I ever survived going through this process more than once!!! And weddings are soo much worse cause not only do I have to wear a dress I have to look good in the same damn dress as 8 other girls..anywayz to cut this crap story...I hate the dress my sister picked..this awful brown color and it looks like shit on me!!! I didn't speak up this morning cause I didn't wanna be a bitch but all the alterations in the world can't help fix this disaster so basically I realized at work today that I am screwed..came home and almost starting to crying cause I was so upset about it and left a message for Karen telling her we need to talk. I know it is her wedding..but I just can't be a good little maid of honor and go along with these dresses!!!
And since I am pmsing and the whole dress thing got me upset of course every other little annoying thing that happened to me today was multiplied by 1,000..including the ridicuolous heat, mailing letters at work, the fact that my car AC is crap, and the two fat bitches that wouldn't shut up during the movie tonight. I went to see the Lakehouse with Kelly tonight. I didn't really wanna see it but she did so I was a good friend and said I'd go..normally it wouldn't have mattered but I was so cranky and tired I just couldn't sit still and the movie was lame. To top things off with about 20 minutes left these two fat old women decide to come into our movie and watch the end for some reason..their was only 8 ppl in the whole theater and they sat right behind us and did not shut up for one second!!!!! The one fatty explained the entire movie to the other fatty and even went as far as to ruin the end!!!! Not that I cared cause it sucked but I was losing my cool so I said rather loudly something along the lines of just keep stuffing your face full of popcorn fat ass!!!! I don't even feel bad I had had enough and I know the cow heard me!!!! And I'm happy about it!!!!!
Okay well this short venting turned long..oh well!!!! Time for bed..hopefully tomorrow will be better!!!!!

RIP Ghetto Phone

Okay after like three days of my new phone just sitting in its box on my dresser I have finally activated my razr phone..so now I am cool like everyone else..my goal in life lol!!! Anyways my phone is pretty sweet but I will miss my old phone. It lasted me a solid two years and never died once..although it did start to crap out in the end. But I can't complain since I talked on it for over 200 hours in those two years..yeah its official I talk way too much..I love how the dumb phone kept track of that!!! Anywho so now my phone will work all the time hopefully and charge properly since the old one stopped charging all together in the end!!!! So now that my phone is hooked up everyone must call/txt me to christen the new one!!!! I finally got the in text messaging and 500 out of verizon texts a month so no more fear of going over..so go nuts ppl!!!!!

In other news it is only 45 days till my birthday and since I am depressed about turning 20 the presents/ well wishes need to be extra good this year. I am depressed about being 20 for two major reasons...#1. I am getting old and I miss the carefree days. Back before all this talk of becoming a grown up and getting a decent job and paying for my own food. Life would be much better if money wasn't such an issue..in the next life I wanna come back to a land where money means nothing and everyone just gets along!!! #2. Turning 20 just sucks...if I have to be a freakin grownup it would be nice to at least be 21 and be able to drink myself some happy....legally that is!!! Everyone on the planet is like turning 21 before me so during this next year as everyone slows turns the big 21 Jackie is gonna get a little more depressed and a little more lonely being the last sober 20something mo!!!! Anyways I was just looking at the calander and thinking about how much being the youngest of all my friends sucks so I thought I would share!!! I guess I will just have to have a lot of parties over the next year and convince ppl to drink with me instead of at the bar!!!! I guess I should see how next week goes before I start planning future events hehe...I'm uber excited!!!!

Moving Day!!!

So today was the day...moving day that is!!! First off a helpful tip for anyone who is about to move all of their possessions when they have 20 years worth of crap...don't only get five hours of sleep..going to bed as the sun was coming up wasn't the brightest idea but in the end everything is kosher. I was just slightly cranky during the moving process. I've also decided that moving is really the best way to clean a room. It's amazing how much shit one person can accumulate over the years. While I was cleaning out under my bed I was fascinated by some of the crap that I held on to. I guess at the time I thought saving ticket stubs or pieces of paper was a good idea but when you have to haul everything to a new location (even if its just across the hall) it kind of sucks!!!
So I took this oppurtunity to get rid of the excess childhood junk. And of course as I went through everything I had to stop and laugh at some of the weird things I found. I even went through my old gradeschool yearbooks. Gosh...what was I thinking!?! My hair looked sooo bad in every single picture...thank god they seem to get progressively better as the years went on!!! Once I finsihed weeding out the junk it was just the matter of making it all look organized in my new room!!! The double bed and bigger closet made things pretty simple since I could hide a ton of crap under the bed and in the closet and make the room look so organized without actually being organized!!!! All in all the entire move including cleaning took about seven hours!!!!
Now I am in my new room and everything is fabulous!!! I love the wallcolor!!! The green came out fabulous..it is cool and kind of tropical feeling and goes awesome with my oak furniture and floor. And the best part of the room by far is the fabulous double bed!!!! Which is where I am lying typing this very blog hehe!!!! Mag and I went to Target yesterday and got a memory foam topper thingy and a delightful memory foam pillow...until now I had never had a memory foam pillow...boy they are fabulous!!!! Well worth the $30 that Mag shelled out for it hehe!!!
Oy well that is about it for now...I've been so good about updating this blog the past few days that not much else has happened to me in the past 48 hours!!!! I am still addicted to ebay and while I was in the middle of moving today I lost another auction in the final minutes=( The 2nd cool vintage purse I lost this week =( I gotta get better at this whole bidding war thing cause I keep losing really cool shit in the last five mintues and by like a dollar and it blows!!!! Okay time to curl up with my book and get to bed...I am only on book numero seis of the summer...and Steveo is killing me in the race!!!!

When the stars go blue

Tonight I relived part of my childhood...going to the Phillies game with my family for the fireworks game!!! It's something we've done every year since forever and it is always an interesting/ fun evening. I always slightly hate the idea of going cause who wants to waste a Friday night being seen in public with your parents but in the end I have fun. Karen and Kevin got to join us this year which I prefer since I feel less lame when they are there with me and the folks.
It's weird how tradition works...like how something becomes a tradition. The McGeehan and Pine families have been going to the fireworks game for as long as I can remember and even though we are all old now its one of the few things we didn't eliminate. Even though the whole event isn't as cool or amazing as it probably was when I was like seven its still pretty fun. I mean the Phillies freakin suck but my family never shuts up during the game and our seats are so bad that its basically like just going out for hot dogs and beer!!! And of course the fireworks are the best part...even though I'm not a little kid anymore I still love watching the fireworks!!!! It's just not summer without seeing them and they are still the best fireworks I've ever seen..even better than the ones Philly does for the 4th!!!
Anywayz I kind of went off a little about my evening but I dunno it was just a strange night. It fascinates me how family works. Like how is it possible that you can love you family and think they are completely insane at same time. Perfect example...my family had a touching movie moment as we all sat on the hood/ roof of our car watching the fireworks tonight....skip to ten minutes later my dad is cursing and flipping ppl the bird while driving recklessly through traffic while Karen is screaming from the backseat and Mag is clutching the passenger door!!! So yeah if you think your family is insane...I'm sure I can top it!!! But hey you can't pick your family and I guess when it comes down to it I'd probably pick mine anyway if I could=) Mostly for the entertainment =)

Woah there!!!!

I haven't updated this piece in forever!!!! I can't even remember all the things I have done since June 19th lol that feels like forever ago!!! This summer is going by soo fast I can't believe its only two months till I go back to school..I'm a little pissed at Stockton right now though cause they are making us move back in on Labor Day..moving in on Labor Day when you go to school 15 minutes from the shore..yeah thats smart!!! Plus we start classes the next day..it took me almost a week to organize all my shit last year..moving in on sunday was soo much better...I loved having the extra day to veg and catch up with the roommates..but whatever!!!!
Since my surgery I have gone back to work at the mall...my job is quite pimp!!! Its really decent money and all I do is talk on the phone!!! I do get a little tired of my own "phone voice" by the end of the night but its all good cause I have the best hours ever..my typical shift is like 2-7...which is fabulous since I am so not a morning person!!! It just sucks that I found the job kindof late in the summer...I really need to make a decent amount of money so I can survive this year at school. I'm thinking I'm gonna have to take on a job once I get back to school...I'm thinking DSW cause then I can get some pimp shoe discounts and for Christmas I will just buy everyone some shoes!!! Its perfect!!!
Recently I've also been working on switching bedrooms..its a slow process..mostly because I'm slow like a sloth and I haven't had any time between working and going out and doing nothing to focus!!! I moved my entire closet and all my clothes but I am still working on moving the rest of my junk collection!!!
I was watching the news earlier and our governor sucks...he needs to fix all this budget bullshit so that ppl can gamble again and be merry...I never realized how many ppl are non-essential till this whole thing hit the fan...poor Kevin hasn't be able to work all week cause apaprently being a probation officer isnt essential..so look out cause sex offenders are on the loose and not checking in with anyone!!! Politics are so lame...I'm not gonna lie I don't know much about the subject but one day I'm gonna learn all that shit and then become president and fix everything...I think that is what this country needs...a president who is a social worker..forget all these businessman/ lawyers..why not put someone in office who actually cares about ppl and their needs!!!! And when I do become president a few little things I plan to correct...moobs will become illegal!!! no fat men will be allowed to go topless at the beach..no one wants to see that!!! 2nd..the plural or moose will become meese (for janine) and mongoose will become mongeese...what the hell is with mongooses..that is just ridicuolous...maybe all the immigrants can't learn english cause our language makes no sense!!!
Not much else is new with me..my 4th of July was fabulous!!! A little swimming, some semi-decent fireworks and hanging out with my friends..fabulous!!!! I also learned a valueable lesson on the 4th..never let a friend cut your denim skirt to make it look "cooler" cause you will wind up looking like a hooker!!!! I feel bad throwing the skirt out maybe I will use it at halloween or something...
I'm not too sure whats going on this weekend..I'm going to the Phillies game tomorrow to see some real fireworks..but the rest of the weekend is up in the air!!!!
Its only like two weeks till my folks go away!!!! I'm already planning a party, a movie marathon, and a lot of fabulousness!!!! Okay well that is about it...this post is uber long and kindof random but hopefully it is entertaining enough to make up for the fact I haven't posted in sooo long!!!!!

Recovering

Hello people!!! I'm still alive!!!! This has been the most boring week ever!!!! Mostly because I have only been semi-conscious for about a third of it!!! All I have to say is drugs are great!!!! Surgery not so great =( I'm guessing everything will be really good in like a month and I will be glad I did this but right now everything sucks. Being swollen and bruised and trapped on a couch for a week is not really fun. Especially when its pretty outside and I really wanna go to the beach..hopefully I will be feeling good soon and I can get to the shore in a few weeks. I'm a little stressed right now cause I didn't think I'd be in this much pain post-op but I am!!! I have a really high pain tolerance and I guess I just didn't prepare well for this surgery and it kindof kicked my ass!!! I'm doing a little better each day but I'm worried I won't be good enough to go back to work for a little while and since I just started my new job that isn't exactly good...oh well...not much I can do about that now=(
Anywayz its late and I'm tired but I just wanted to post something so everyone knows I am alive!!! Thanks so much to everyone for calling and texting me while I've been recovering!!! Sorry to anyone I didn't call or text back...like I said the not conscious thing was a little crazy...anywayz I'm feeling much better now so if anyone is free and wants to visit me in a few days..let me know!!!!

Doin' Fine

The title pretty much sums up everything. The drama has subsided for a little while, but I'm not buying into the false hope that it won't be back. At this point I say bring it on!!! My pet peeve for the day is people who don't leave voicemails when its important. Like if you have nothing to say thats fine and all but when its about plans or something important..leave a message!!!! Why do you think they invented voicemail!!??!! Honestly why can't people use their heads..to quote Tom Hanks in one of the greatest movies ever.."thats that lump thats three feet above your ass!!!!"
Anywayz other than that the weekend was fabulous!!!! Friday I almost died on the way to Nick's house..but I didn't so thats good. I'm all for a good thunderstorm but that rain on friday was scary!!! I was freakin out!!!! Saturday night was fun...but I got raped at poker...it was sad. I thought I played fairly well..but yet..raped =( It was only a ten buck buy in so its okay. I'm gonna watch more tv poker and try to get great before our next game hehe!!!!
Today was a fairly quiet day...but for some reason I was soo tired all day so it was good. I think I was fighting off a cold all week so that might be why. But now I'm feeling good...my immune system has been rocking recently!!!! I went shopping with the Mag. We went to home depot to pick out paint for my new room. Its between this pretty light green color or this bright coral color..I can't decide!!!! I'm gonna show everyone the samples and get opinions. Tomorrow I'm gonna start cleaning the whole room and preping the walls for paint. I'm hoping to be painted and ready to rock by next weekend..hopefully!!!! Maybe I will try and find some people to help me and make the work go faster!!!
I started my 4th book of the summer today!!! I finally finished the Davinci Code..two days after seeing the movie lol!!!! The endings to both were quite different and I dunno which one I prefered. I think the movie actually...but the rest of the book was much better...which is typical!!!! The book I'm reading now is called August Frost. I bought it cause it was hardcover and on sale for $4 and im po!!! Its about a british guy and it seems a little odd, but ya never know. I'm hopeful that it will be delightful!!!!

P.S. I watched The Family Stone with SJP tonight with the Mag and it sucked!!!! I love SJP ever since becomong addicted to Sex and the City..but the movie blew. Mag and I thought it was gonna be like this funny comedy thing and it had such good people in it..Luke Wilson, Rachel McAdams and Diane Keaton...but it really sucked. It was like depressing and weird and not very funny...def not worth the rent..boo!!!!
