Bubbly!

Hello loves-
For starters, I just want to say I hope everyone has a Great weekend! I know I will!
Yesterday I had my hair colored by this new girl named Robbie and I absolutley love it. Last time I went to that salon, this other girl Toni messed my hair all up LOL. My roots were still showing and it looked as if she did not even dye it. Also, when I mentioned a trim, she wacked 3 inches off!! Since when did a trim mean "cut my hair really short?" So from now on, I am only going to Robbie!

This weekend is the LSU homecoming game vs. Monroe. My friend Renee and I have tickets to the game so that is what we will being doing saturday. By the way, this will be my first ever LSU game, so I am pretty excited to go. On another note: This will be a bitter/sweet weekend.
My boyfriend Dustin will be racing at Cowtown this weekend in Forth Worth, TX. I RARELY ever miss a race. But this weekend just happen to be an exception. I have always wanted to go to Cowtown because i heard that track is fast and always puts on a Great show. Oh well, life happens and I will be rooting for him from the grand stands in Death Valley!
Here is Dustin's Sprint car that he will be racing this weekend! Everyone wish him luck! :)

Here is Dustin in the heat race at I-44 Mini Sprint Nationals:

Over Analyzing as usual

I have been searching for new time wasters since all of my favorite shows are over for the season. My girly side really comes out when it comes to The Food Network and HGTV. I have always been a big fan of their reality shows like Next Food Network Star and Design Star. I like commiserating with the contestants because they really struggle with the on-camera challenges. They are great at what they do but then fall apart when the camera gets thrown in their face. True Blood has actually sparked my interest a little. It's like the R-Rated Twilight. I don't know how ive missed the boat on this. I watched a few episodes when it first started and trailed off some but now that there's nothing else on I'm trying to get into it. I used to be able to sit and watch episodes of Dexter and Weeds back to back. I would literally watch 8 episodes in a row. That was the life of the unemployed Jessica-now I find myself reading recaps online. My life has turned into reading summaries. I even skim magazine articles because I don't feel like I have the time to put into reading them. I think I'm living an abbreviated life.

It's Official...

The internet is officially the worst possible place to try and communicate anything. It will always be taken the wrong way in this over-saturated,  cesspool of communication. There is no body language, no vocal tones communicating any kind of emotion, and certainly no immediate response. Black and white text lacks all of that. It’s cold and fails in so many ways. For example what was meant as a sincere apology comes across as a passive aggressive stab at someone. You try to explain that and somehow you only make it sound worse. If you were to have given that apology in person, all of that would have been avoided. Even the simplest of stories can be misconstrued. Suddenly you’re blaming them when really you were simply explaining your point of view.
You won’t see this but in the off chance you do: I’m sorry. That’s all I was trying to say. The stories and whatever else you misconstrued were just my way of explaining. Neither of us know the other and neither of us know how the other communicates which, obviously, leads to problems.

Until next time…

Family Night!

Well, tonight is our family night. Every thursday since as far back as i can remember, has been family night. We sit around, talk, eat dominioes pizza and watch our favorite family show, CSI.
My family is awesome for keep this a tradition. Most families would have fizzled out their families by now. My family and I are very close. I have 4 brothers and sisters. Also, a nephew that lives with us that is 6 years old.
We have ordered dominoes pizz for the past ten years every thursday. Im am pretty sure we are the ones that keep the company in business.
CSI has been airing ever since as well. We have never missed a season. I don't think this show will ever get old to my family.
I am sitting her thinking about how grateful i am for having my family. I do not know what i would do without them. I hope everyone out there has a great weekend.
I am headed out to continue this great night.
Peace

Who needs sleep when it's your Birthday Week!

Hello again,
Sorry I am just now getting to post, it has been a very busy weekend for me.
This past saturday was one of my best friends wedding day. We had to get up early and get the chapel all decorated with pretty roses and flower arraigments. The color scheme was white, black, charcoal, and accents of lime green. Turned out wonderful!
Laci and I went to clinque in the mall to get our make-up done for the wedding. First off we called ahead earlier last week and made appointments for 3:30. Well, when we got there, the lady could not find us on the appointment sheet. Clinque lady said she only had time for one of us. So, I told laci to go ahead. I ended up walking around the big make-up counters and ran into Lancome' so i stopped and asked if they could do mine. The lady said "Sure, no problem girl." So make-up was done, check!
Next was on to hair, we did that ourselves. Curls, curls and more curls was the way to go.
After the whole wedding went down, it was finally the reception part. The part I was looking forward to the most.
The newlyweds were having it at the Capri Theatre Downtown. As soon as you pulled up, their names were written on the big board out front, "Now presenting newlyweds Mr. and Mrs. Justin Witt." It was super cute.
Of course, as soon as you walk in the theatre, there was a old time popcorn machine, the red carpet, a photo booth, and everything you could possibly imagine. They really out did themselves and it turned out great.
We partyed on until 3am the next morning and I had to leave for Dallas at 7am. That was the worst car ride of my life.
I only had 3 hours of sleep the night before and I generally do not do well on car rides regardless.
Dallas was the First part of my birthday week with my mom, two sisters and my Aunt. My birthday by the way is Friday the 15th.
I will the big double digit 22.
So in Dallas, we went to the mall that was in Mesquite. A small town on the outskirts of Dallas. It was a nice mall and had 3 levels of non stop shop. I was on the hunt for a birthday dress for my party on Saturday. Out of that whole mall, not one dress that I was in love with, not one. I was fustrated but it did not ruin what an awesome time I was having with my family.
After the mall, we went and saw a movie. The new one with Katherine Heigle in it. I can never remember the name. But anyways, it was a cute movie, very predictable, but still cute.
After that, out last leg of the adventure was to eat at Cheddar's. This part was to celebrate my Aunt's birthday that is today. I got her a really funny card with a horse on the front of it. She laughed and said it was hilarious.
I was worn out at this point, from not getting more than a total 6 hours of sleep all weekend and going non -stop. I was passed out the whole way home from dallas. We were pulling in the driveway of my Elm Grove house at Midnight.
So that was my crazy wild weekend and a nice start to an even wilder week. I will post more crazy adventures as they start happening.
Until then...

It's life, What can I say?

Life. All I can think about latley is my life and if it's going the way God intended.
This past week was a long one. I had several huge tests in my classes. I try to study so hard but it seems like I freak out and loose it when it comes down to it. I used to be so good at memorizing things, and being organized. But here lately, I feel as if im playing catch-up and i can't seem to get caught up. I just need time to freeze for a couple hours so i can get everything done.
Work has been non-stop as well. Meetings after meetings and i need a freeze button to catch up too. This past week i think i have gotten a total of 10 hrs of sleep. The price of being a college student and a full-time worker.
Life just seems to be passing by so fast latley. I am feeling the panick of school and wondering if i will succeed and ever graduate. And when i do graduate, will i be able to get a good job with the way the economy is now days. What does my future hold? If i could just catch a glimpse of what is going to happen, that would make me feel so much at ease.
Tonight is my friend's batchelorette party at Superior's Bar and Grill. That is another thing i have been thinking about. Will I ever get married? How many kids will i end up having? I find myself pondering these questions often latley. Life is an amazing gift and I thank God i am here everyday. I am just going to continue to live my life to the fullest and take it day by day. We will see where that takes me.
Until then...
Peace Out
