"Life is a playground, and I am looking for someone to play with"

Ha! You cannot tell me that did not make you laugh a little bit? This video right now has absolutely nothing to do with this post other than I am tired and it made me laugh, hard. I will throw something in later that has to do with it I am sure.

What have I done with my life as of lately?

First though, Want to hear a quick story?! I know you do because I am pretty sure that is one of the top perks about me is my good/funny/embarrassing stories I tell that usually happen first hand. I have no shame. But probably won't be a quick story. I lie.

The other day I was out to lunch and saw an old friend from high school that had just got back from his mission. I was about to go say hi, when I realized 1. I am out to lunch with my parents (No offense, still love you) 2. I was wearing crap clothes, not literally but almost. They were covered in ink and just was not a good look at all 3. My hair... I can't remember if it was just down and got wrestled with by the wind that day or if I pulled it up into a tight, well I didn't care to do my hair look. 4. I did not put on much makeup. When I don't put on makeup, I look like a older child. (ok, I may or may not use that to my advantage some days when I need to look younger) Soooo continuing my story I dive behind the salad bar. I mean I possibly squatted down and thought about crawling back to the table like the mature 21 year old I am. Annnyways... I decided well hells bells, I can't get out of this one. I'll eventually be seen.

Random facts about Jessica (Squirrel again!) I don't like doing my hair or makeup, like at all. Nope. I like it when it is done but it takes to much time and effort and honestly I am always running late to everything anyways. In my defense I do love my sleep.  Reason number one I like going to Walmart at one in the morning, nobody is there; that is unless you are buying tampons, then Oprah, Dr. Phil, and the whole gang is there and they all just want to be best friends with you that night. Cue the fake smile and I hate my life(exaggerate much? Yes) as I  walk away looking in my phone screen thinking "hey! At least there is no food in my teeth."
Which leads to reason number two.[This all will somehow tie to my story probably, ehhh maybe not.] I know a lot of people, I mean a lot. Some people are way to social and I have to admit, I am one of those ppl.  I have quite a few close friends and it is a constant struggle going out (sarcasm mucho) and seeing people I know all the time because that once a week I actually do get ready for the day, I don't see anyone. Hey! No judging because I work at my dad's store and am usually late for work, in the back stripping screens, so any makeup I wear or if I do my hair it gets ruined anyways.(gotta throw in excuses somewhere)

Ok my point of these facts is: If I see you somewhere in the middle of the week and I look frump and pretend to don't see you or you wave and I just walk by like I was looking at my phone. (Thank you inventor of cell phones for making things semi less awkward in life!) It is not me being rude, Ok it is a little rude. But know I still love you. We will just say it is not you, it's me.

Back to my story...
I am getting my food trying to be as normal as possible and not draw attention to myself and I trip over air kind of (Fffail! No worries though I didn't face plant or anything) and hear "JESSICA!!!" So I do that whole  pretend I didn't see him thing. and he runs over and gives me a huge hug. Here is how our convo sorta went.

Me: Ohhh my gosh hey! You work here?
Him: Yeah, I haven't been here long.
Me: So, I was going to come to your homecoming but I don't know what happened, I must have had a lot going on that day.(psh a lot going on, on Sunday. It was probably a nine am ward and I wanted to sleep in) When did you get back a few months ago?
Him: December
Me: Ohhhhh, right. Half a year ago.
Him:  Yeah! What are you up to? Are you married? What's going on? Are you going to school?...?
Me:  HA! Ummm I work for my dad, I quit school. No degree. Don't know what I am doing in life. Nope not married. Awesome life right here...
Him: (Awkward face) Ohhh well... that has got to be fun working for your dad and you will figure things out...
Me: Yeahhh, probably not. But, how was the mission? Enjoy all that Jesus time?
Him:  HAha! Yes, it was the best thing I have ever done. I loved it and miss it so much. You shou...
Me: Don't tell me I should go on a mission! -_- My sister is on a mission in Canada. I feel she is representing the family well... (Holla to my sister)
Him: Ha! Ok, well missions aren't for everyone.  That's awesome she is serving a mission...... ......... .........
Me: Well I have to go eat lunch with my parents and get back to my exciting (said in sarcastic voice always) life. It was good seeing you.

*Ending convo quickly because my lunch buddies :) (ohjoy)were watching me and awkwardly walking over by me. I tell you, if you are talking to a guy, perhaps a cute guy. Bring your parents I tell ya'! It Boosts that wind blown hair, self Assteem right on up. HAHA! I love you mom and dad.

Point of story.....

1. I feel like a fail and have not done anything successful in the last two years (2 colleges, no degrees...) Suck I dream big. It's ok though because when I cry at night (joke) I think about how it's not bad living with my parents because neither of us are ever home and I don't have to pay rent and they don't smell funny. That's always a plus, right. Holla at my parents for having good hygiene!
2. I work for my dad and it is a job. I may not like it because it gets you all messy and you cannot look presentable after being there(sorry Bob) but it is a job, and I am thankful for it, most days.;)
3.  I quit college! Woo! But seriously did we honestly think I would like college and go to class when I would barely get out of bed to go to high school, which was the easiest waste of my day? The answer we can all say out loud is no.

I feel like typing all of that was a huge waste of time and it is four in the morning and I am not all the way awake and not even sure I will remember what I typed tomorrow. But if you don't want to read all of that and ask yourself what did I just waste the last few minutes of my life reading..Jess you looney!

Short Version.

• Life is lameeeeee! 
•  I need to stop looking like a slob and get ready so I don't end up being on a dating sight like those creeps are in that video up top. Shoot me!
• In September I am doing a 10 week dental assistant program. Woo!!! 
• First Saturday I am not going to a wedding. *Squirrel* I have 2 that I am suppose to be at but I am tired of them and this week I am not feeling it. I cannot eat anymore wedding cake and keep standing there like an idiot when the bouquet of flowers hit me or comes right at me and I close my eyes or stand there like a doofus not reaching for it while all those desperate girls jump for it. Fact I have been hit in the face with those bouquets. Some of my peeps have good arms. Pointless tradition if you ask me, just pointless. You know what that means if you catch it right?! There is no hope haha.

I'll post another update with pics later sometime this week. 

Happy Birthday Michelle, Katie, Brinn, Krysta...

Have a great week all of you! 

I HATE..

MOTHS!!!

Last night while on my phone in bed, I hear something above me. I was ok with it until that I realized it was a stupid moth and it flew into my face. I hate Moths so much. -_-

•  First of when you throw your shoe at them on the wall and put a hole in the wall and miss. 
• Then when you do hit them, you go up to them slowly with your shoe in hand and it plays dead and when you get close enough to it, it flys at you and makes you run screaming.
• Also if your room is the only one with the light on. The little buggers will crawl under your door to get in
• When they do die. You have to suck them up with the vaccume or if you are outside put a heavy rock on them just to make sure they are dead. Kind of like when in movies they run ppl over you have to back up and hit them again hahaha!
• Probably one of the reasons I hate camping. They get into your tent and you spend hours with your friends trying to get it out so you can sleep. I have good friends... or maybe they just want it out so they can sleep in quiet.
• Your best friend's brother is too kind to catch one and throw it at you, just to see a good reaction.

I think I am getting better with not hating them. Ok, that is a lie, but when I got home last night I haha was very adult like and did not scream, swear (well maybe I did one on accident) or throw shoes at it. HA!  I just went and turned on all the lights in the upstairs except for my room and took a nap in the hall until it left my room. 

Oy Modesty!

Jessica Rey talks in a ten minute video about bikinis and modesty. Click here to watch the video. It is a really good video. Some points I really liked that she talked about were

• Male students took a survey at Princeton University to see how the male brain reacts to seeing a girl in different amounts of clothing. Brain scans showed that the less clothes the less brain activity in the part of the brain where the brain lights up when one person ponders another person's thoughts, feeling and intentions. Researchers thought this was shocking because they almost see this being shut down in this way. A Princeton Professor said, "it's as if they are not acting as if these women are human, it's as if they are responding to these photographs as if they were objects, not people."
• A separate Princeton study when they showed men, women in bikinis. They used first person action verbs such as I push, I grab, I handle. But when they saw images of woman dressed modestly they associated them with third person action verbs such as she pushes, she grabs.
• Analysts at the National Geographic concluded that bikinis really do inspire men to see woman as objects as something to be used rather than someone to connect with
• Wearing a bikini does give a woman power, the power to shut down a man's ability to see her as a persons, but rather as an object.

Just watch the video..It is very interesting.

One more wedding down

I'm in love with the Idaho Falls Temple

 I helped cater one day. First off we made good food. When I say we I mean JE, and Second Catering for wedding is super hard and tiring. Much more fun to be the guest that just eats the food.

 Congrats Shan and Gabe on getting engaged!!! WOOO! Can't wait for October!

Sorry Shan I hope you don't mind I stole this pic

One of the BEST Caterer's in town. LOVE her!

 Thanks Kimmy for doing my hair and make-up. Love ya'!
If you know me you know I hate doing both.

 Congrats Krista! It was all so beautiful!

 Adjusting :)

 Benny missed me! Since it had only been a month since he had seen me at his wedding

 Proof we get along and are friends. There you go Mikan :)

Me and the Married Ladies

After the reception went to see Mikan & Benny's
new house and help them pick out wedding pics to
edit and print.

and the mirror pic

It was a long day and I  had to go get a drink
after.  No alcohol in case you were judging. 

They are so cute!

Had one more friend to visit after Mikan's and finally got home around 2 in the morning. Oy! As much time and work weddings take and I complain about not having a free weekend for the whole month. I still love being a part of my friend's special day and seeing them come out of the temple smiling and  being so happy that they get to be with the person they love forever. It's so awesome! :D

Here we go another wedding this weekend....and the next....

Now....

Haha this picture cracks me up. I love Madea! This pictures is also semi how I feel. I have been to so many weddings lately and have more coming and I seem to get the same questions at all of them from at least one person or more....."So when is your wedding? or You know your wedding is next" HA!

Well let me tell you people, No wedding for me this year. I hear you have to be nice for guys and get them out of the friend zone for that to happen. ;)

A week or 2 or 3 of Random

Grandma and these little dumplings graduated pre-school. Katie took them to grandma's every week and she did the lessons with them so she got to graduate :) 

Can't believe it has already been over a year

On memorial day my mom will always put things they loved in their flower pots, hers was paint and croquet needle, when grandpa's is a golf ball and cheeze its

Hopefully a call for a new job 

This cute girl has been home for over a week. A new record! 

Sorry this should be up by the other grave pic

we got our deck all cleaned and ready for summer

My Cousin is doing so well on his mission.

Love evenings by the river

This just made me laugh

I guess I have been neglecting all my friends' on missions the last few months. This email made my day! :)  Sister Bair in Italy

Finally talking and getting faces down

The Sky was insane the other night. Pictures don't do it justice. Me and Mom went and chased a rainbow. 

My bestie was in town for longer than two seconds so we hopped on her motorcycle (scoot scoot) and went for a ride just like old times. I miss mine :( still mad we sold them.) Anyways it looked warm outside but was sooo cold.

We always get in trouble for taking pictures while driving. Yeah... we haven't crashed yet. HAHA! ok that's a lie, well we haven't died yet. 

Me and Dad worked at a Renaissance Fair Saturday. Straight up nerds getting to be nerds. They have kings/queens, a membership fee and nobody except a few us and grandpa's bbq are allowed in except on visitor hours. Anyways it is for sure entertaining.  They sword fight, lance, drink, drink, and talk mid-evil. 

I tried to tan, no burn my porcelain legs, sitting out there I got burned everywhere but my legs. They are so white I think they shined back and burned the sun. Oh well....

 Happy Father's Day PAPA Bear!!!

Thanks for teaching me how to have integrity, work, and be who I am today. Thanks for everything! I love you!! Quit waking me up in the morning! 

That's Bob in the back napping. haha
