KICKIN IT KOUNTRY STILE
THE FAMILY AND I MADE A SHORT TRIP TO HOT SPRINGS. THE HOUSE ON THE HILL THAT OVERLOOKED THE RIVER WAS ALL DECKED OUT IN THE CLASSICAL COUNTRY DÉCOR. VERY NICE! I WAS MOST IMPRESSED BY THE BED IN THE MASTER BEDROOM. I AM 5'10 AND HAD TO STAND ON MY TIPPY TOES TO CLIMB INTO IT. THE FOUR TALL POSTS AT EACH CORNER WERE JUST PERFECT FOR… WELL, I AM SURE YOU CAN IMAGINE! LOL. I ALSO ENJOYED THE THREE HOUR BATH IN THE AUTHENTIC CLAW TUB. HOWEVER, THE BUGS, THE HEAT, THE WELL WATER, THE "COUNTRY" FEELING IS JUST NOT ME!
I DID FISH, (AND EVEN CAUGHT ONE TOO) FOUR WHEELED (WHICH I LOVED), SHOT A 9MM AND A 22 (I'M A REGULAR MARKSMAN!), CANOED (WHICH I HATED DUE TO THE WATER BEING TOO SHALLOW AND US HAVING TO CARRY IT MOST OF THE WAY) AMONGST OTHER "KOUNTRY" THINGS. ALL WERE ENTERTAINING, BUT I WAS READY TO COME HOME!
AND COME HOME I DID. THANK GOD.

WHAT did you say?
I don’t know what my deal has been lately but the possibility of me needing a hearing aid may be high.
On the radio, a commercial is aired advertising 1-800-BRAIDS. The spill about "we'll have you in and out within 2hrs" caught my attention since most women's hair take longer than 2hrs to braid. But what REALLY caught my attention was them offering an oil change while you wait. A place that braids hair and changes your oil at the same time?? WTF?? It turned out to be 1-800-BRAKES.
In my economics class we had a substitute to discuss world economy versus US economy. The sub was oriental but spoke English really well. She elaborated on China's economy and was sharing some Chinese custom with us. She explained that it is China's custom to give "goat" as a gift for childbirth, weddings, and other occasions. As weird as that sounded, I questioned whether I had heard her correctly when she said that she has saved all three "goat" from the birth of her three children and keeps them in a safe at the bank. It turns out that the three pieces of GOLD is what is locked away!
In a conversation about these ridiculously high gas prices, this woman at work said that she garaged her "taco" and has been taking the bus. I paused a moment and asked her to repeat her self and she said that she kept her "taco" put up. I totally left it alone and later was telling a third party what I THOUGHT I heard, and they said "duh, Jen… her TAHOE!"

20 Min Sell Out!
I had the perfect idea for mother's day, which is a surprise because my mother has become hard to shop for over the years. I heard through the grapevine that Oprah Winfrey is coming to Dallas May 21st. I hadn't heard any press or details, so I go searching on how I could get my mother a ticket. On Orprah's website it gives details on how to get the $185ea tickets. I talked my brother into going in half with me, and then to make my idea even brighter, I talked my two cousins into buying their mother a ticket also (my mom's sister).
The tickets went on sale yesterday at 10:00am, and by 4:00pm I did an "Oh Shit!" and logged on to get the tickets. THEY WERE COMPLETELY SOLD OUT!
This morning on the radio they were saying that the tickets sold out in 20 freakin minutes!!
I wouldn’t have felt so guilty has I not hyped up the soon to come surprise mothers day gift to my mother just this past weekend. So I had to call and let her down now, so whatever I decide to get to replace such a good idea would not be so disappointing. She almost cried! She kept telling me that I so excited about getting the tickets that I couldn’t hold it in, so I was calling her to lye about not getting them so she could still be shocked when I gave them to her. This made me feel even worse!
Needless to say, I need help! What can I get her that is even remotely as exciting??
I have already gotten great things in the past. I have gotten her a star named after her, a maid to come clean her house, a day of pampering at a day spa, a weekend trip of gambling… what else is there??

MJ
Every time I turn on the TV there is some special with child psychologists or other types of therapist analyzing Michael Jackson's childhood. It really makes no sense. I believe that too many people blame their childhood for the issues they are facing as adults. Granted, your childhood is a foundation, a start for who you will be as an adult, but the life experiences, and education afterwards is what molds you to who you are today. Just because someone is molested or raped as a child does not mean that that person is going to molest or rape someone as an adult. I know first hand! I wish they would leave MJ's childhood alone, and just analyze the testimonies, evidence and facts of the case. As sick as I am of hearing about MJ, I know there is still lots more to come!

Happy Fat Tuesday
Last year NikNik and I went to Mardi Gras. It was right after Valentines Day, so I was not prepared for Fat Tuesday to be so early this year. Christany and I talked about going this year, but I guess it is a little too late now!
When did Fat Tuesday become so popular in Texas? Every single radio station I listen to is talking about mardi gras and Fat Tuesday and Ash Wednesday, etc. Too bad I have to work tomorrow or else I would check out some of the places advertising. Even at work today people were wearing the green, purple and gold beads. WTF?
On another note, Last night I witnessed major crime at Wal Mart! I stopped in to pick up a few groceries and was paying at the self-check out by the left entrance. As the machine was telling me to insert my money, a basket came flying towards me, from a cop pushing it out of his way and yelling, “your not getting away from me!” I watched as he ran beside me, down my checkout isle and noticed his target was running down the main isle towards the opposite exiting door. Before I could blink, seriously TEN other Wal Mart employees joined in and chased the guy out of Wal Mart. Being the intrigued person that I was, I naturally finished checking out (in a hurry) and walked out the opposite exiting door just so I could see all the drama. In the foyer by the coke machines was a lady crying her heart out. I have no idea for what, but I imagine it had something to do with the “big chase”. Once I was outside, the lights of SIX police cars blinded me. I counted. I saw two cops literally dragging a guy in hand cuffs (like on the show cops when people evade arrest, with the shoes dragging the ground) and another guy (which I didn’t see during the initial drama) in hand cuffs as well. He was walking in hand cuffs, shouting and yelling. I don’t know what these two guys did, but it wasn’t something as small as stealing something. Besides, I didn’t see any recovered merchandise. So what the hell could they have done to bring SIX cop cars in the blink of an eye?? To bad the police don’t response that quickly in all cases, like when you really need them!

Hey, Hey, HEY, hey!
I know I haven't updated in a long time. I haven't felt like it! I have thought about updating many times though. LOL
Nothing too different has been going on with me. I'm still in school, still working, still hanging out with the same people, still stressin ex-boyfriend.
I recently made a trip to Houston to visit Christany for her b-day. It was really cool!
January is a month full of birthdays for me. Let me send this quick shout-out to each person…
TIA- Jan. 11th
ZAE BUGZ- Jan 13th
CHRISTANY- Jan 18th
EXBF- Jan 19th
REESE- Jan 21st
KELPUR- Jan 22nd
TAYLSUS- Jan 29th
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
I joined the National Body Challenge sponsored by Discovery Health. By registering, you get a free 6wk membership to Balley's. So yesterday, I went to my first Pilates class. It was fun, and interesting, but definitely challenging for someone who had never done it before. I was working muscles that I didn’t even know existed!
After the Pilates class, I stayed for a Spin Class. The instructor adjusted my bike, I had my water and feet strapped in. I made it for all of 20 mins. My ass about swallowed the inch and half wide seat all awhile it was lifted in the back which made me hover over. I had to basically hold my upper body up with the handles, while my lower body was in physical pain. I looked ridiculous, couldn’t keep up, so naturally, I left in the middle of the class. I was almost dead anyway! I drug myself to the car, went straight home, and straight to the bed.
This morning I get up, and muscles in my neck, shoulders, arms, stomach, legs, butt, etc, all hurt! I am having a really hard time just sitting here because of the seat bruising my woman anatomy! Tomorrow, I think I will brink a donut cushion!
