One Shiny Star

I’ve been thinking about it, and ya know what… I’m not very funny. Online at least. My husband and I are some of the biggest bozos around, we keep each other laughing all day. But on my blog I kind of just complain… are write re-caps… or I don’t write anything. I know I have written a ridicuosly long “About Me” page, but who couldn’t stand to know a little bit more about me? Huh? I know you’re interested. So, here are a few fun facts.

1. When I was in middle school I lightened my hair. After which my dad made fun of me fore ages. And ages. And ages. I’m scarred and have never done the whole head since. I did do hot pink high lights after I got married though. Take that Dad!
2. I like plucking hair. ha. Weird? maybe. But I mean, after a while it just doesn’t hurt any more. This is how I manage my perfectly shaped eyebrows. I used to get them waxed… but that is expensive, so I started doing it myself, and it just plain hurts! So… I gave up on that, and I just pluck… and some times shave things if I’m lazy and heading out the door. I mean, come on… I have dark brown hair! It shows up EVERYWHERE!
3. I did not want to date my husband for the first 5 years that I knew him. Don’t know when that changed, but apparently it did.
4. I have a very bad habit of bouncing my leg, like… against the floor… is this making sense? So it shakes the whole office. The un-used lava lamp sitting on hubby’s desk shakes all the time. But he is sweet enough to ignore it. Of course, the second he starts tapping on something I huff and puff and mow him down. Wait… that’s not what I meant.
5. I have fillings in almost all of my teeth, except the very front (pretty) ones.
6. I’m addicted to a game where mice try to collect cheese. This may be the real reason I have not been blogging very well. I have debated sharing it with you all because well… it’s intense, addicting, full of 12 year olds and if you knew how high of a level I am on then you might not like me any more. My husband got me hooked on it when he left for VA. We would play on it all night together, and I would play when I got bored. If you want to know I will share, but if you have an addictive personality, you don’t want to know.
7. I have an addictive personality. It comes in spurts. I start something new, and it’s go-go-go-go-go-go-stop. Like the Sims3 game. GOGOGOGOGOG….stop. Now it’s this stupid mouse game. I can tell that it is almost over, since I’m getting more frustrated than I am having fun.
8. I told the Dr. I was seeing a psychiatrist to go with the anti-depressants I used to take (this is a little old). I went to my first appointment with the shrink, and hated it. So I never went back. They made me feel like my problems weren’t anything big. Of course, to them they were not big – but hello…. this is my life, my problems, it’s big to me! Worst experience ever and I don’t think I would do it again. There was nothing wrong in my life that caused my problems… just bad hormones.
9. Speaking of anti-depressants, once I went into the Dr.’s office because I was having trouble sleeping. He re-prescribed my ADs. Apparently ridiculous sleep patterns are a symptom of depression. It was a month before my wedding and I was a crazy mess, but the meds did their job. Gosh. I could talk about ADs forever. Mostly because I have a lot of opinions about meds like that, and how they shouldn’t be forced on people, but then some times they should be. Yeah… figure that one out.
10. My favorite Bath & Bodyworks scent is Japanese Cherry Blossom. I have everything in that scent. And when I say everything, I mean almost everything… since I don’t have the candles. That’s a lie. I have two of them. But I don’t have the body mist… because I have the perfume. Ha!

And there you have it. 10 things, right off the top of my head. Any that is all. I am off to play the mouse game.

What I wish my life looked like:

6:00 am – wake up, shower, make my bed, eat breakfast and watch the news.

7:00 am – dishes, feed animal, water garden, vacuum,

8:00 am – sweep/swiffer kitchen, bathroom, front entry way.

9:00 am -

hmm… well… if I could do that the rest of my day would involve going to class, watching TV, and then making dinner. lol. Instead I sleep until forever, wake up rushes, zoom off to classes, get home starving, yet exhausted, so we go out and grab dinner, then come back, watch some tv and then sleep. Yeah. I think I really am going to make a list of “daily things” and I’ll set the alarm tomorrow. My husband has really been slacking in the “wake Jessica up on time” department. Hmmm.

I know I keep promising pictures, or maybe I’m just thinking it – but I do have a lot of pictures I want to put up. I bought to linens for our bed, and so I am excited to get those on the bed and take some pictures. I am thinking I will probably end up rearranging the room a little bit before I share though. I am also planning on sharing a few pictures of my favorite things about this tiny little house we’re living in. It’s coming soon… the problem is once I start cleaning something, I usually want to do a really deep, thorough job – which means it could take me a while. That’s ok. I have a few weeks of NOTHING before my summer classes start up.
