Day 334: To: Taylor

Taylor wanted me to color with her. So I drew her a picture and wrote "To: Taylor" at the top and wrote " Jessica" at the bottom of the page. Then Taylor drew me a picture...

Day 333: E-mails

I should have learned in nursing school that you never leave a decision to a group of people. You'd think that by now, by this point in my life, that I would have figured out that the bigger the group, the bigger the drama when trying to make a decision. For example, in nursing school they let our class vote to decide if we could wear blue scrubs to clinicals instead of our horrible pleated white astronaut/karate uniforms and after 3 rounds of voting, in which we offered to pay to buy new blue scrubs for anyone that said no, we still had to walk around like abominable snowmen...

But obviously I did not learn, because today I sent an open ended e-mail out to our entire college/career age ministry at church about a t-shirt design and holy cow the e-mails! 5 hours, 88 e-mails, 2 g-mail chats, 3 facebook messages, and 52 text messages later....I finally just made the decision myself and decided that if anyone is upset, mad, has their feelings hurt...well oh well, that's life. I blame myself for the entire situation because I should have known better....

and in the midst of all of this I burnt my chin on a piece of pizza...still not sure how that happened, but it hurt!

how can something so tasty be so dangerous?

Day 332: It's beginning to feel like Christmas

I started wrapping Christmas presents today.

these are for 7 people...good thing my siblings and I drew names for Christmas presents cause if I had to buy for everyone this stack would be quadrupled.

Oh there was also another present (for my roommate), but I let her open it early and I was so happy that I did. She screamed with delight, it was great! I kinda want to go buy her more presents just cause her reaction was so fun....I'm gonna be broke after this Christmas.

Day 331: Mille Bornes

Every time my family gets together we play some kind of game. Usually its "Aww Heck", last year it was Blockus (which I won), and this year we rediscovered Mille Bornes. It's a French card game that we played all the time as kids and I just learned that Timothy cheated back then cause the rule book definitely has different rules...

anyway, Timothy insisted that we play every time someone sat down at the table. So at breakfast and lunch we all had to play...even though Timothy was losing and he's a terrible loser. It was still lots of fun (mostly cause I beat Timothy cause he wasn't allowed to cheat anymore!)

Day 330: Rainy Day

As tradition states, the day after Thanksgiving is when we decorate for Christmas. Timothy put up the lights outside in the rain, he's very dedicated.

Meanwhile I stood on the front porch taking pictures...there were a TON of lizards

I see you!

Day 329: Happy Thanksgiving!

Today I am thankful for my family

and my absolutely precious nieces and nephews!

Day 328: Work

Day 327: Work

Day 326: Work

I cleaned out my bag for work and finally found my old watch...

its a good thing I bought a new one

Day 325: OH Bo!

Look the date is wrong!

he seems more mature than he did last year (like his show was more mature...if that's possible)

Day 324: A DAWG Wedding!

Ryan and Cathleen got married! They look SO happy! They had a UGA themed reception, it was cute

Day 323: Ms. Jessica

Kelly and I went to dinner with one of the Wilson families at our church and one of the things their girls do while they wait is decorate napkins, it a brilliant idea! They decorated mine...

...apparently I'm a Ms.

Day 322: Harry Potter!

Midnight showing of Harry Potter!

We went to dinner dressed up like this, and got a lot of compliments about how "cute" we were...I think they thought we were all in high school...

Some people dressed up like Harry Potter Puppet Pals

one side was Voldemort and Snape, the other was Harry and Dumbledore...and we sang "The Mysterious Ticking Noise" song all night long

Day 321: Work

Day 320: Work

Day 319: Work

Day 318: The Day After

We all spent the night at Casey's after the baby shower, it was lots of fun!

Yesterday we also decorated onesizes for Elliott and I had a dumb moment...

...no other words are necessary...

Day 317: Baby Shower for Elliott

I went to Meagan's Baby Shower and got to see a few of my favorite people:

we couldn't take a good picture cause we were all too busy laughing.

These were some of the decorations on the table

Personally I like the robot...it's not very often that you see a baby robot

Day 316: Muffin-cup-thingys

I bought a new muffin pan so that I can make muffins (obviously), and I got some transformers muffin cup thingys...what are they called?

whatever, I made wild berry muffins and they were delicious!

Day 315: Work

Day 314: Work

Day 313: Work

I came home from work and Kelly had these awesome cupcakes that were all different flavors and looked all pretty and she shared one with me!

It was scrumptious!

Day 312: Strep Throat

I have Strep Throat AGAIN, more antibiotics for me...yay...

while I was at the store getting more medicine I bought a daily vitamin

but it was deceitful. It says "one a day" but the directions say to take 2 per day

...this is false advertising.

Day 311: IHOP

I took my nieces to IHOP for lunch today and Taylor was practically licking the plate clean.

She's so adorable!

Day 310: Dumb and Dumber

I've learned so many valuable life lessons from watching great movies.

One of my favorites was on tonight

Dumb and Dumber

So here it is, my list of things to learn from Dumb and Dumber:

1. Senior citizens, although slow and dangerous behind the wheel, can still serve a purpose

2. When birds get old, their heads fall off

3. In Aspen the beer flows like wine, and beautiful women instinctively flock like the salmon of Capistrano

4. When you spill salt you have to throw some over your right shoulder or you will have bad luck

5. If you lie to a blind kid, it will end up on the news

6. Do not pee into empty beer bottles while driving...

7. Don't day dream while driving

8. If someone has luggage, airline tickets, and you were called to take them to the airport then they are probably flying somewhere

9. You don't kill people you don't know

10. If you really have to pee, just go man, just go.

11. Don't lick frost off a metal pole

12. We've landed on the moon.

13. Make sure the toilet isn't broken before you use it

14. Don't run down a jetway unless you know the plane is still there

15. If someone leaves their briefcase, then you should do everything in your power to return it to them...even if that means driving across the country and accidentally killing someone along the way

Day 309: Grandma Slippers

I have these old grandma looking slippers that Janet and I bought our sophomore year of college. They aren't very cute, but they are SO warm, and I'm always cold, so I LOVE them. I've had various people buy me other little slippers to wear, but none of them are as warm as these...and I only wear them around the house, so it's not like anyone sees them.

Except I almost walked out of the house today with them on...

Day 308: Work

Day 307: Work

Day 306: Work

Day 305: Leaf Rubbings

I got to hang out with 2 of my favorite girls tonight! We did some leaf rubbings and played outside, it was fun!

We also found a helicopter! (I don't know what it's really called, but that's what we call it)
