Monday, December 26
Hmmm...so today was busy....my mom got me up at 7 freaking o'clock in the morning to run around to different stores for sales....I couldn't believe how crowded they were at 7 am! Ah well....came home, took a nap, then met Helen and Kathy for lunch at Schlotsky's and then shopping at the mall....shopping was fun....making fun of people was better....and trekking back through the crowds to JCPenney's because Helen left her keys in the dressing room was the best ;) But yeah, ended up with yet another little black dress (I love JCPenney's), and two cute tops and a black skirt :)So came home, took Merlin for a long walk...brushed him and took off enough hair for another sheltie....watched several Law and Order episodes and relaxed....
Tomorrow is dog-sitting in the morning, shopping with mom in the afternoon, and the Stoneham's over for dinner....I haven't seen Ashley in over a year....she's engaged now so I'm sure there'll be lots of wedding talk ;)
And I forgot to add to my list of things to do in the next couple of days....hopefully a New Year's Eve sleepover with Susan (complete with lots of sparkling apple cider) and then maybe GSA alumni recital with VJ and Justin :)
Anyways, survey time ;) Couldn't find any good ones online so I took an old one from another blog :)
name] Jessica
[nickname] Jess
[what’s the best bed you’ve ever slept in?] I think there's a current tie between my bed and Steve's for best bed :) They're both incredibly comfy in different ways :)
[what never fails to relax you?] Reading in a nice hot bubble bath....granted depending on the time of day I take a bath in my apartment, the shower that follows is freezing cold and kinda ruins it, but still....
[what song, book, and/or movie never fails to reduce you to a blubbering mound of Kleenex?] Hmm....song would be Pearl Jam's "Last Kiss"....book would be a couple of the Redwall books....and movie would be "The Notebook"
[what would you do if you were brave and knew you wouldn’t fail?] Surf the incredible waves around Angel Island in CA....way too many great whites there though...*sigh*
[do you hold a grudge or do you forgive? why?] It depends on the situation and the people involved....
[if you could change one thing that you did today, what would you change, and why?] Hmm...I'd change dropping my phone on the concrete while walking Merlin....I think it's dead....
[what is the most vibrant or significant memory you have from your elementary school years?] Hmm....fifth grade, recess...Mr. Schiffelbian gave in and let our class have recess hoping it'd make us behave (it didn't)....I remember running around the playground with Julie because Kariss dared Eddie and Mark to kiss us...
[who would you pick to play you in a movie based on your life? why?] I'd still pick Holly Marie Combs (even though Steve thinks she looks weird)....I think she's incredibly talented and not in a show-offy way....she's also very pretty but not a stand-out....I think I'm pretty enough on my own but lost in a larger crowd....

[if you could break any law, with no consequences, which law would you break?] Murder would occasionally be nice, here and there ;)
[if you created a rock band, what would you call it, and what would you play?] I'd probably sing or play keyboards....and it'd have some sort of cutesy name most likely....about love or tragedy....but I wouldn't want it come off sounding like a cheesy 80's female band....
[what has been your best job? your worst job?] Best job? Teaching Ashley harp lesson....Worst job? Teaching tons of little bratty kids to swim....
[if you could suddenly have some sort of superpower, what would you choose?] The ability to read minds and to manipulate water ;) ....the second one, not so much....it just kinda sounded cool :)
[spell your name backwards] tsorf ianah enna acissej
[where do you live?] Alternate between VA Beach and Winchester
[describe yourself in three words] Outspoken, idealistic, and friendly
[who is your worst enemy?] Hee hee...my original answer for this was the Ethiopian, the idiot, and the pecan....ha ha....ahh freshman year was fun....but now, it'd definitely be the dumb lying bitch
[if you could have any animal for a pet, what would it be?] Another sheltie...you can never have just one ;) Ha ha....Just kidding....I'd like a fox :)
