Did I mention that I'm seeing Blink 182 and My Chemical Romance tomorrow night!? Well. I am :)
all the old...
and the new...
Who are we kidding. It's Blink. It will be epic, for sure.
Oh, and did I mention that I've always had a baby crush on Gerard from My Chemical? It's true.

"Don't Sweat the Small Stuff"
About a year and a half ago, while going through a touch of drama, I decided to pick up the book, "Don't Sweat the Small Stuff...and it's all small stuff" in search for any kind of advice that would help me pull my crazy life together.
![]()
The book changed the way I looked at a lot of things, helped me feel at peace with my life situation at the time, and to realize that there is no sense in letting the small/dramatic things consume my time. For the last year and a half, I've done a pretty good job at it, I think.
However, we sometimes lose sight of great lessons we've learned, no matter how big of an impact the lesson had on us when we originally learned it. I had one of those moments yesterday..big time. I tried to blame it on the fact that I'd been watching too much reality TV and, although it could have been a contributing factor, I decided that I was just letting the small things waste my time. I seriously sat and thought, "Wait. This is the old me. This Jenn doesn't waste her time with pointless crap. She confronts it or brushes it off and she moves on."
I decided it was time to pick up the book again for a little refresh :)
If you haven't read it, the book is an easy read that talks about how we sometimes allow ourselves to get worked up about things that really aren't a big deal and tend to blow things out of proportion. The short chapters are jammed packed with great advice and strategies to help you have a more relaxing {stress/drama free} life. Here are some of the chapter titles that I probably should have read yesterday morning before leaving my apartment:
"Choose your battles wisely"
"See the innocence"
"Become more patient"
"Understand Separate Realities"
"Ask yourself the question: Will this matter in a year from now?"
If you want a better overview of the book and the chapters go here.
Little things will most definitely come up that will seem like a big deal in the heat of the moment, especially when you over-analyze and get worked up about them {which is super easy to do}. People will come into your life who you don't understand at all. People will start pointless drama. People will be shady. People will hurt you {and you will probably hurt people too}. But at the end of the day, you get to decide how to deal with it and how "BIG" you make it.
Goal? Don't waste your time. Clear up or get rid of anything that you have control over that is making your world crazier than it needs to be. That most likely means confrontation and communication or even just cutting it out of your life. Just remember, If it's not worth fixing then it's not worth worrying about...
Ok. Go!

Wednesday's Witty Words from the Week.
"This is going to be a miserable job; Let’s get our buzz on."
-Snooki while on the job.
"I have my periodozo."
-Deena's excuse to her boss while drinking wine with Snooki in the bathroom at work.
hahahaha. The best part of it all is that they paid someone at the restaurant to buy them the wine. classic snooki.
"Sometimes life just sucks, LIZ."
-Amanda
She's right. Sometimes things don't always go your way. Sometimes you feel unwanted. *insert ugly cry here* And SOMETIMES you just don't want to be optimistic. OK?
"How was I supposed to know who Steve Jobs is?"
-Easton, who could have been interviewed on channel 5 news to talk about how he felt about Steve Jobs' resignation as CEO but he didn't know who he was!!
uhhhh, hello!
"...We're old meat..."
-Amanda
What a sad truth. But, listen. Don't come running to us when you're bored with the delicious/tasty new meat! CRAP. You're right. old meat sucks. But if we were talking cheeses or wines, we'd be winning. so...take THAT!
Cole: "Have you ever tried beets?"
Me: "No."
Cole: "They're sweet!"
Me: "Really? They look disgusting!"
Cole: "The headphones?"
hahaha. So, I really thought he was talking about beets, like the food beets, not Beats by Dre. um, yes I've tried them. I used to be in love with this "Beats Boy" that I'd see everyday on campus and I loved him solely for his Beats...only because I never talked to the kid. haha. Pathetic.
"Can you touch the back of your "Hangy"?"
-Nieko
alright, so he's talking about the "hangy ball" in the back of your mouth. The kid can touch his with his tounge. WTF, Right?! or maybe it's just me and Willy who can't do it? bahaha...oh Willy. I'll stop there.
"LOOK! There's your boyyyfriend!"
-Coworker, Amy referring to Ben Sherman Boy in passing at work.
Shut your mouth AMY! Sure, I spilled the beans to the coworkers when you got a boyfriend but that's just it, he was your REAL boyfriend not just someone you've blogged about once and talked to twice. embarrassing.. haha.
In a deep conversation with my sister about heaven and returning to a perfect state--
Jamie: "I'd rather be 19."
Me: "I'd rather be skinny..."
bahahahahaha. seriously one of the funniest conversations I've had with my sister (recently). Dinosaurs, the creation, and other mind-blowing topics. Really. I was so distraught about things. Dad's Answer: Just have Faith. haha. Thanks Dad :)
"If she still has a bedtime, she's too young for you, bro!!"
-Easton's clever, on-the-spot comment to a real life situation.
bahahahaha. Atta boy, Easton! I'm so proud that Jersey Shore has impacted your life so much. Totally made my day :)
"Whoever becomes famous [out of us] first, makes the other one famous..that's the rule!"
-Alex.
I'm glad I have this pact with him. The kid's going places; I just know it!
"The moment number 4 kissed me, I knew it was my boyfriend!"
-Vienna about Kasey during the Kissing Contest on Bachelor Pad.
You can't fool us Vienna. You only knew it was him because of his NASTY breath! Seriously, the other girls could barely kiss him and they all commented on how bad it was. so sad but FUNNY!
"I deserve to be sucked up...to...yeaaa that didn't come out right."
-Me trying to say that I think certain people should suck up to me. The boys' reactions were funny too but I'll just leave it at that ;)
I try not to post things that I say myself but this one was classic Jenn. I just don't think before I say things sometimes. I won't excuse the fact that the comment in itself makes me sound stuck on myself a little but if you knew what we were talking about then you would agree, I think.

The VMA's. Always interesting...
I don't care what you say about MTV. It's entertaining and I love it. Especially the VMA's. I think it has a lot to do with my love for celebrities, music and reality/what some of you would call "trash" TV. But I don't think it's trash at all. In fact, even though some of the people might be a titz trashy, I would still be their friend...*cough..SNOOKI*. I digress.
If you didn't catch the VMA's here's what you missed.
1.) Gaga's sick/convincing, night long performance in drag as "Jo Calderon."
![]()
No Joke. It wasn't just the "I'll announce one award/preform one song as a dude" kind of thing. nope. It was the entire night long. She talked as if Gaga wasn't present, smoked like a chimney, and carried around her [I mean "his"] drink of choice--a glass of Scotch. Totally weird. And I couldn't even stand the awkwardness when "he" gave the award to B.Spears.
2.) Bieber's "Johnson."
![]()
Haha. OK. JB, you made your point. Your pet snake is named after man junk. We get it. But really, you can't just post that on your Twitter or something for a good laugh? Instead you have to walk the Black Carpet with it? First the wangster earrings and now the glasses AND the snake? I love you but you are getting weirder by the minute.
Come back little JB!!!!! haha.
3.) Beyonce's Baby Bump
I seriously got so excited when she dropped the mic after one of her stellar performances and opened her blingin' blazer to announce to the world that she was having a baby Jayonce. It was precious. Her and Jay-Z both looked so excited! What a GENIUS way to announce it! Fab.
4.) Adele. Nuff said.
5.) Kevin Hart's joke/warning about STD's to everyone at the VMA's because and entire cast of Jersey Shore was present.
ok, SO funny, right!? But did you notice that the Situation (who would most likely be voted as the King of STD's if we took a poll)was the only one not in attendance? According to his Twitter, he was stuck in Jersey because of all of the hurricane issues and couldn't make it...
If he wasn't such a fame whore I would view his absence at the VMA's, the same night they aired the embarrassing episode of him knocking himself out with the cement wall, as extremely curious.
If you didn't see that. omg. Go watch it.
Thank you MTV for keeping us entertained :)

Mason's first trip to Utah.
I'm pretty new to the whole aunt thing and I don't know a lot about babies but I think I'm getting better at the whole thing after this weekend. Having Mason here to visit was so much fun. He's 9 weeks now and I can't believe how big he's gotten since he was born. Let's just say, I honestly can't imagine loving a baby more than I do him but then again there will most likely (meaning there better be) more nieces and nephews down the road and I'm sure someday some little ones of my own or something but really, I have BIG love for this boy.
Sure, babies cry, take constant attention and always come first but I've realized (contrary to my former beliefs from my babysitting days, which, I loathed) that there are FAR more pros than cons when it comes to having a baby. Aside from being so stinking precious and cuddly, making church more interesting and giving the arm muscles a nice work out..they really are just little miracles!
alright.. so I didn't have to change a poopy diaper and I could hand the kid over to his mommy if he was screaming too much so that might have added to the glamour of it all.. but you get my point; babies are just fun. But don't worry.. I didn't have SO much fun that I'm ready to have one of my own right NOW. haha. Mason will just have to come visit more often so I can get my baby fix :)
Oh, and have a mentioned how good of a mom my sister is? well--she rocks! Here are some pics from their weekend visit:
Oh and a video. Don't mind the baby talk voice. It just happens. I just want you to be able to hear him "talking" to Aunt Jenn.
gah. I miss him already.

Could you please do me and everyone else in your life a favor and align your actions with your true feelings? Good people get hurt by your indecision and asinie behaviors

Thanks.
Without Love,

Guess who's coming tomorrow!?!?!
Guess who's coming to Utah this weekend to visit?!
MASON!!!!
Isn't he too cute?!
Mom, Jamie and Mason are taking a little trip to come stay with Cole and I in our little apartment for the weekend and I'm SUPER excited! I can't wait to hold him and give him lots of kisses and to hang out with the Mom and Sister.
I talked to Mason on the phone the other day and between all the "cooing" and "grunting" he basically said he was excited to come and see me and that I was the best aunt ever:) I plan on remaining the best aunt ever too...As long as he doesn't scream as much here as he does when I'm trying to talk to his mommy on the phone sometimes. J/k! I'll allow screaming for the weekend if it happens :)
YAY!

Wednesday's Witty Words from the Week.
"Poop really bad."
-Victoria's written answer during Loaded Questions. Question: What should you never do in a public restroom?
poop really bad? bahahahhahaha I can think of so many different ways to write that answer but you chose, "poop really bad?" omg, V, omg!
"He actually speaks well English."
-Deena, Jersey Shore, in reference to her "Italian Lean Cuisine" man.
hahahahaha. Nope. No shocker there.
"Liz--You look like PP long stocking."
-Willy's response to Liz's braided pigtails.
whoa, whoa, whoa. Hold up. Let's just say that you didn't just tell her she resembled someone with a name that is slang for one's genitalia... do you really think she looked like THIS!?
"She wanted me to kiss everyone!"
-Easton, AKA Eenie Weenie.
It's true. I did want him to kiss everyone during our Scavenger hunt. Hello, let's make things more interesting, people! It's the last day of summer for crying out loud haha.
"You are such an open book right now"
-Nieko to me after watching the movie "one day."
-Willy's demand to Heather as he hovered over her trying to prepare her for a sucker kiss.
omg. so so so so freakin funny. My side was hurting from laughing so hard because of all the awkwardness.
*Blush*x100,000,000
-Ok, so it's not a quote but Liz's blushing this past week was without a doubt some of the funniest moments
I won't post the things that made her blush, because 1. it's probably not appropriate and 2. I think she asked me not too? I can't remember. Oh, Elizabeth...you heart breaker! hahaha j/k
"You're right. You always are."

rude. hahahaha.

-Easton, AKA Eenie Weenie.

"You are such an open book right now"
-Nieko to me after watching the movie "one day."
Yes, I was emotionally drained but that doesn't mean you know EVERYTHING. ok, he gives me a run for my money at figuring people out...but still.
"I can't trust Melissa farther than I can throw her. And even though she's really tiny..that's not very far."
-"Princess" Erika, Bachelor Pad
I'm sorry, but anyone who wears a tiara everywhere they go and adds "Princess" to the beginning of their name is straight-up CRAZY. I wouldn't trust her or her "lips she gets injections in every 6 months." puh-lease!
"Get your hands out of your mouth!"
-Willy's demand to Heather as he hovered over her trying to prepare her for a sucker kiss.
omg. so so so so freakin funny. My side was hurting from laughing so hard because of all the awkwardness.

"You're right. You always are."
-Friend, Alex while talking about his life choices.
Why do my friends think I'm always right? Oh wait, it's just because I'm only telling them the things that they already know. Sometimes we just need a little reassurance.
"For the Love of Betsy!!!" x2
-Easton
I think he was combining the two sayings, "For the Love" and "Heaven's to Betsy..." Idk?!? If you only knew what he was saying it about and could hear the way that he said it both times within 5 minutes, you'd be laughing too. It was almost like he busted out a british accent. idk. I had to stop mid-convo to gain composure! Let's just say the kid is hilarious when he's passionate about something. nuff said.
"Gossip keeps me alive!"
-Hyrum during our gossip sesh on fbook that was long overdue.
we could gossip for hours. seriously. ahhhh, I totally miss his face!
...ok, clearly I interact with more guys than girls. awesome.
Oh, and Congrats to Heather for not making it on here for a third week in a row with a rude comment to Willy that has something do to with the color of his skin. Woot, YEAH! :) haha. jk.

Ben Sherman Boy
So there's this boy. No. Scratch that. There's this man. I mean, guy? Guy/man? ...Whichever. He's beyond trendy and pretty much looks like he stepped right out of a Ben Sherman catalog every time I see him.
Let me just give you a taste of what he looks like everyday.
*Note* the guy pictured below is not the guy I'm talking about, even though it's pretty close. This is Simon. You can find other pictures of him in different styles on the Ben Sherman Website---------->Here!
![]()
![]()
I'm not even joking when I say that this guy dresses just like Simon.
BE STILL MY HEART!
Here's the problem, though. I've only talked to him once aside from awkward stares, smirks and the notorious "Oh, Heyy" comments at the printer...and I see him almost every day! [embarrassing]. I'll admit that I do appreciate the fact that my desk has a clear view of the printer just because I can secretly peek around the corner for a looksie to analyze what he is wearing. ridic, I know. I just like well-dressed men. Sue me.
Why don't I talk to him more? It might have something to do with the fact that he's so good looking and his style is so slammin' that I know if I open my mouth it will most likely come out like word vomit. *Ew. Even more embarrassing.*
Please tell me I'm not alone in this and that you have a Jcrew boy, Dreads girl, Jamba Juice Hottie, Bagel Boy, Zumiez Guy, or Front Row of Business Class Babe or something!?! One that you see all the time but for some reason can't talk too even though you are good at talking to everyone else!?!? Just admit it so I will feel better.
It happens. Beautiful people happen. haha
Goal--Choke down the word vomit, strike up a conversation, and just make friends with the Ben Sherman Boy...or whoever it is in your life ;)
Oh, and when you're done, share the story with me!

Cheers (and jeers) to the Freakin' Weekend
Did I mention that I love Fridays?! Especially when the coworker brings in Bagels from Einsteins. Mmm. I melt. Well, first I really think about the consequences of eating it and THEN I melt.
Well, here some "cheers" and "jeers" to send you into the weekend
1-Cheer. I'm seeing this movie tonight with some of the crew:
I can't wait! I love, love. And it. looks. fab.
2.) So this has nothing to do with a cheer for the weekend, but it's basically the weekend and I'm making an announcement so... cheers to this: See the picture below.
Yes. New York FREAKIN City, people :) and I'm goingggggg!!!
Ok, it was seriously the quickest trip that involves flying that I've ever booked...and It's still a month and a half away. It went something like this, "Let's go to New York." and today..."oh wow, we're really going to NYC!!" It was so fast but I'm so excited to go since I've never been. Many thanks in advance to Nieko for showing us around his "favorite city" on October 6-9!
Anndddd. I get to go during my most favorite season of all--Fall, which, makes me 10 times more excited to go:)
3.) Here's a Jeer. Not that it will effect my weekend [hopefully] but when I found this pic last night on Pinterest I was beyond freaking out:
Don't worry. I googled it for like 15 minutes and this "German Giant" breed of rabbits is legit real. WTH!? It seriously gives me a whole new perspective on the Easter Bunny.
My thoughts on the topic: (to be read super fast because that is how things go through my head.. fast!) I don't want my kids to ever think that something like THAT is leaving them candy and gifts. It's weird and creepy. Whatever happened to the cute little bunnies? Or chickens? What about chickens? I mean, we all know that the cadbury eggs and the reese's eggs are the best Easter candies anyways. Yes, EGGS! Not candy in the shapes of little naked rats (have you seen what newborn bunnies look like?..sick!) So why a creepy GIANT rabbit that leaves eggs for children? It just screams THIEF and KIDNAPPER (or eggknapper.. you get the point) I guess I just think it should just be a little chicken that is leaving eggs instead--it's less frightening and it makes since. But I guess I can't raise my kids thinking that it's an Easter Chicken instead of an Easter Bunny. They'd get super confused and kids totally get pushed down on the playground for crap like that.
Ok, obviously, I'm just distraught over the whole thing... My mind was just blown by the pic above. Look at those feet!!! *chills. I suppose I will just keep believing that a semi-cartoon version of the EB is the real thing and that he's just super nice and brings us candy in the shape of eggs from his chicken friends who generously donated them. That way I can at least sleep at night!
omg. I just re-read that and thought , "I'm so dumb." haha. But I'll leave it and just wrap it up with hopes that everyone enjoys their weekend. Especially since it's the last weekend of the summer for some of you who are starting school....barf... Just do something fun. Plan a trip. See a movie. Run around. Get crazy. You could even come help me bake cookies on Saturday for the Ward Linger Longer ;) haha. Just make it count.
"Cheers to the Freakin Weekend" [and to me not having to start school!]
Heck. "I'll drink to that... yeaaah yeaaahhhhh!"
Drink of course? ..Water on the Rocks :)
Well, here some "cheers" and "jeers" to send you into the weekend
1-Cheer. I'm seeing this movie tonight with some of the crew:

2.) So this has nothing to do with a cheer for the weekend, but it's basically the weekend and I'm making an announcement so... cheers to this: See the picture below.

Ok, it was seriously the quickest trip that involves flying that I've ever booked...and It's still a month and a half away. It went something like this, "Let's go to New York." and today..."oh wow, we're really going to NYC!!" It was so fast but I'm so excited to go since I've never been. Many thanks in advance to Nieko for showing us around his "favorite city" on October 6-9!
Anndddd. I get to go during my most favorite season of all--Fall, which, makes me 10 times more excited to go:)

Don't worry. I googled it for like 15 minutes and this "German Giant" breed of rabbits is legit real. WTH!? It seriously gives me a whole new perspective on the Easter Bunny.
My thoughts on the topic: (to be read super fast because that is how things go through my head.. fast!) I don't want my kids to ever think that something like THAT is leaving them candy and gifts.
