Cake, men, and a Virtual B slap.

I love cake. Especially cupcakes.  There's just something about having your own mini cake that is yours to enjoy alone.  They are super cute, come in different sizes, flavors, and have the cute little wrappers that gives it a special touch.  Cake is sinful, sometimes you want more than one but deep down you know that is bad for you.  I think it's also safe to say that each cake lover has that one kind that is their weakness.  The "cant get enough of it" kind of thing. Like me and red velvet cake; I have a love/hate relationship with it.


Kind of like men. haha


I love men.  Like cupcakes, they come in different sizes, types [flavors] and the ones that dress really nice just puts the icing on top of a beautiful man. My weakness--bad boys. smh.  It's unfortunate, really. 


Cake...men....both delicious, some are really pretty to look at, and they both make me drool on occasion.


Want the comparison to continue followed by a totally intended virtual B slap that initiated the cake post? ok, follow me!


Here's the thing about cake: too much of it is not good for you.  And, let's be honest, on occasion we have moments where we think "Meh, cake is cake." 

Baked by Melissa Cupcakes.  Had them in NYC. Mmm... mouth.drooling.

Still, the comparison to men works.  But most of the time, you should be picky!  Don't let anyone tell you different.  It's your cupcake so you should get one that you will really enjoy.


OK.. on to the point.  Aren't these little gems ^^ just pretty to look at?  I mean, all of them.  When we got these cupcakes in NYC last fall I couldn't get over how cute they were.  At that moment I understood exactly what it meant to really want to "Have your cake and eat it too."  I literally wanted to keep some of them because they were so cute but my mouth was drooling to eat them knowing how delicious they really were.


I've been thinking about this idea lot this week with some crap that's been going on lately.  In life there are some people who really want to "have their cake and eat it too" especially when it comes to their relationships.  So what does that mean?  I mean, if you dangle cake in front of my face you better be dang sure that I'm going to want to eat it.  Doesn't mean that I will actually eat it but a part of me usually wants too. [ But HELLO--It's called control. ] But I know that if I eat my cake that I can't HAVE it as well.  I mean, my belly has it for a bit and some of it might stick to my thigh's and rear end but I don't really still have possession of it.  I've eaten it and that's it.


This phrase is referring to just that--people who want the best of both worlds. To have it and to eat it.  For example, this would be people who want all the benefits of being in a relationship so they hold on to one when they get it but at the same time wants to live the "single life" or still date around but doesn't really let the other person know where they really stand.  


Earth to you people--It doesn't freaking work that way.  Don't you know you can't have the best of both world's when it comes to relationships while still remaining honest to yourself and the other person in the relationship?
Gah.  grow up.


All I have to say is whatever you are doing, just be open and honest about it.  Don't lie to people.  It's hurtful and it's rude.  Tell the truth! On the other side, If you are just feeling a little crazy and you want to go try a lot of cakes this summer then just do it. nbd.  Cake is good...Just be careful:)


ummm Cupcake run anyone?! really.  that red velvet is calling my name.
fml.

It's Wednesday--Stuff people said this week.

"Skirts can't give you camel toe--that's the way to go."
-Remember crazy Ms. X from my work who I've never really talked to but she talks about how she goes on a billion dates and she's in her upper 30's?  Yeah. her.
This B is crazy.  Not only is camel toe something you don't want to yell across an office but she didn't even laugh after she said it.  She was serious, it was weird, and we were all confused. And honestly, is that REALLY the reason why you wear skirts?  She must have a real CT problem or something. eww. what a freak. not an imagine we wanted.  ugh.


"You wouldn't understand...You're adopted."
-Mom
Ok, I'm really starting to think that I am adopted.  I mean, once your mom starts cracking those jokes it starts to seem real.  


"I'm not that kind of girl." -me
"HA. Yeah you are." -brad
His instant reply was a little insulting.  Like he knows me or something? puhlease. hahaha. oh yeah.


"ANTELOPE?! What the hell is that?"
-Kim Zolziack, Real Housewives of Atlanta on her spin off show "Don't be Tardy for the Wedding."
She really didn't know what antelope was and couldn't fathom the fact that some people eat that kind of meat.  It was so funny. I wasn't that shocked considering she didn't even know how to use a can opener and said that she hadn't cooked meat before.  Oh, rich people. smh


"Go lick that taco and I'll take a picture of you."
-Nieko
haha. Don't judge...It was a HUGE taco pinata and it was freakishly awesome. You really think you can have a Cinco De Mayo party without at least one taco comment?  Puhlease. I don't know what was more funny though. The comment or the fact that I actually licked it.  Someone had to try to liven that 'party' up.  OLE'! 


"Are you talking about the girl who always looks like a 'Snatch'?? (meaning Biznatch..haha)." -Jamie
"Stop--that's nasty!! Don't you know what a Snatch is?" -mom
"uhhh I'm assuming Vagina?" -me
"Yeah.Va-gee-gee." -Mom
bahahaha.  Ok, 1) I HONESTLY didn't know that was a term for a V so I had to laugh.  I mean, how did I, Jennifer Hansen, not know that?! haha.  2.) Really mom, you think that's nasty?  yeah right. and 3.) VA-gee-gee? omg.  that mother of mine.


"Their wiener's are longer and plumper here."
-mom at the sonic drive through.
We all had to look around to see what she was talking about because none of us had ordered a hot dog. We were so confused.  Turns out she was reading the sign on the Sonic building.  haha. weird.  This, of course, turned into non stop comments about Wiener's.... like this.


"OMG he heard me say whale dingy."
-Jamie about the guy on the skates that came out to the car.
Of course we were still on the topic about the hot dogs, I ended up quoting sixteen candles, mom turned it into something about whale's privates, and Jamie was making fun of mom for turning the conversation into that ^^^ and the guy totally heard what she said and gave her the funniest look. Made my day. seriously.


"It smells like a wiener in here."
-mom
Ok mom, enough with the Hot dog comments. Last one.  But really.. we didn't order hot dogs remember? I think she just liked saying wiener and I was so tired from shopping all day that everything was making me laugh so hard. haha. She's a keeper I think.


"We are just too good at this game."
-Nieko
hahahaha. I laugh because it's so true.  When it comes to relationship problems or problems with people's life in general, we are really good at detecting things before they happen.  And we love that we are so good at it.  We don't always love some of the things that we have to do but it's a talent for sure.


"I don't want to go home................................... Jennifer,  I don't want to go hooooooome."
-Creepy Liz Voicemail
Nieko and I had to listen to it a couple of times because we thought it was so funny.  It was like she was talking to herself really quiet, waited a few seconds and then yelled it again.  It was creepy.  Esther style.  jk jk.  Love her.  We settled for putting her on speaker phone and bringing back the car of trust/secrets.  woot woot, summer!


"Every time I see a girl with lots of eyeliner and foundation I think, they must have an issue with themselves and who they are."
-The coworker and work who CONSTANTLY talks about dating so loud to another coworker that you have to crank up your headphones just to drown him out.
hahahaha oh yeah, that's what it is.  I wear eyeliner because I have some really big issues with who I am.  Thank you for figuring out women. *insert sarcastic thumbs up* 


"I might just pull anger from somewhere else."
-Vicky about our boxing match.
SCARY.  I mean, we are good friends so boxing each other wasn't a big deal.  But she looked super tired which can sometimes come across as angry so for a brief second I was a little scared.  Sometimes you don't know how angry people can get especially when you are being "attacked" (even if you are just playing around)  haha. Thanks to Kyle for breaking up the "fight' after I got popped in the jaw.  That could been bad..I'm a TITZ crazy.


"Where are your booty shorts?"
-Willy
haha.  I guess I didn't bust those out last summer so it made a little impression when I was wearing them at home the other day with an over-sized tshirt.
Mental Note: Destroy booty shorts.

Things I don't appreciate..

I don't appreciate...

The fact that I've ignored the grape flavor for so long.

I have honestly spent all of my life saying, "grape is the worst artificial flavor ever made."  And I really did believe that for a really long time.  I don't know where it started.  Maybe with grape soda? I don't know. But it has to date back to elementary school AT LEAST.  Maybe even birth.  This whole time I've avoided all things grape, aside from actual grapes and sometimes white grape juice...until last night when I gave into a sugar craving and Nieko gave me a Grape Jolly Rancher that he dug out of my never ending Easter candy.  I firmly told him that I hated grape but wanted the candy so much that I popped it in my mouth anyways.  My mind was BLOWN.  I really loved it.  What was I thinking all these years?  Why did I shun grape for so long?  I will never know.  I don't appreciate it.  Never again (smh)..never again.

When people think they are the exception.

Alright, I've totally caught myself doing this before but I really don't like when people do this to me. It's like, "um, don't tell me what to do. Get back to me once you come up with some better advice. Thank you very much!"

People who don't know when to stay out of other people's business.

I know what you're thinking: "But Jenn's always in everyone's business."  Uh, EARTH to MORON--People make it my business the second they come to me for advice about the situation and spill their guts. Sorry for being awesome, I guess. I will just say that it's one thing to want to know what's going on but if someone didn't ask you for your opinion, then maybe you should just back off... just a thought. (of course, unless it's an issue that is really serious.  Just use your head.)

People who say one thing but mean another.  

You know the kind.  The girl who says she loves a guy but goes out and flaunts her goods to others, the girl who says she's not a slut but everyone knows she's open for business, or the guy who says, "I just want to be a husband and good dad" *insert charming smile from the dude and a gallon of barf from me* but you know he's just trying to charm you and get something from you?  Yeah.  Those people.  I don't appreciate them.  At all.  Don't worry, they eventually get what they deserve. You know who you are... check yourself. 

Weekend/Summer 2012 Bring it on!

-What a fabulous weekend!  I always love it when Family comes to visit.  I get jealous sometimes that almost all of my friends here in Utah either live with their family or they have family nearby.  I know 5 hours isn't too bad but honestly I miss them a lot when we are apart.  I love living on my own but I just wish I could see them more often (without the whole having to drive all that way thing.)  But we always make it count when they visit.

Here's a little picture recap of the weekend.

This is before Mason's haircut with Ariana.  Isn't my sister gorgeous?  It's rude, really.  And then her baby is a clone of her.  More rude.  Precious to my soul! Love them.

I like to make Mason try things on.  This was at the Kid's American Eagle.  
Lil' Jason Mraz action?

This is the cute face he makes when I've feeding him fruit or baby yogurt. He puckers his lips until he swallows.  Omg, obsessed. Look at his baby blues :)

He has this thing for gold fish.  We shopped for HOURS on Saturday and he was perfectly content in his stroller eating his fish.  Not sure how he eats them considering he only has three teeth, but he does it.

Ok, SERIOUSLY?!  Look at those teeth. GAH.  Miss him already.  His cheekies are so kissable.  And he's just so much fun.  My favorite little buddy, hands down.

Oh, and remember when I mentioned on Friday that I wanted to shave my head but would probably settle for a cut?  Yeah.. totally went to Ariana and we cut a TON off! I only have my Instagram pic so here you go.  It's SO short in the back that absolutely no pony tails for me for a while.  But I love it so it's all good.  No Cameron Diaz break down for me this time :)...yet.  

Even with my family here, I had some time to chill with my friends.  We always have the most interest conversations and do the most random things but it's always fun.  If you happened to see my boxing match vs Vicky Toa or caught the video that was posted on fbook yesterday for a couple of hours (before I put a end to that crap) then I'm sorry.  How embarrassing.  Apparently it was really funny, and I'm sure I would have been laughing if it was anyone else.  but uh, yeah, not my finest hour.  But I really think I would enjoy taking a boxing class.  We all know I need lessons (thanks easton for trying to coach me.)  

Lots of things came up the past weekend that have gotten me thinking.  I'm sure I will talk about them later this week but quite frankly, work was crazy today so I'm about done.  But remind me to talk about some of the following things :) haha.

-People need to stop taking life so seriously ALL the time

-"If it feels good, do it"

-Follow your heart, or your gut...ORRRR just listen to Jenn:)

-Do what's best for YOU

-Even the people you love the most can lie.

-Sometimes you get your heart broken...

-Reality check, Sister.

-Just because you love someone, doesn't mean it's always right.

-Sometimes it's OK to shut certain feelings off for a bit and just have fun.

Honestly, there are a lot of things I could talk crap about or jot down but for now, that will have to do.  Summer 2012...Bring on the Fun and the Drama ;)

Random thoughts, post #1 million, 2 hundred, 86 thousand.

Remember how I told you that I have a Sperm Farm in my Kitchen?  You know, the Sea Monkeys?  I thought they were weird even before Nieko discovered last night that a few of them are mating...hardcore.  We had to Google it to confirm that it was true because it was so strange.  Apparently they can do that for weeks at a time.  Yeah, I said weeks. "Monkey See, Monkey Do," I guess because there were three sets of them getting busy right in the middle of my kitchen last night. I mean, I imagine it gets wicked boring in that little tank but really?  Don't they know that they are in the KITCHEN!?  I don't really appreciate them doing it 24/7 and making a billion more babies but I guess that's what they do, and I really don't have control over it so, whatever.  Moral of the story is that I'm going to be a mom.  haha. really. We saw the egg sac on one of them.  ew. spermy BABIES.

Someone recently told me that I had trust issues.  holdupholdupholdup.  Trust issues?  That's not true.  I'll admit that I have a few issues with men but that's only because they haven't proven themselves to be trust worthy when it comes the the matter we were speaking about.  I don't have trust issues. smh. I'm cool. deal wit it.

Have you ever wanted to do something so bad that you think that you honestly won't get over it until you just do it?  Like punch someone in the face, tell someone off, send that text or make that phone call just so the other person knows that you are interested or that you're thinking about them or to let them know that they can't walk all over you..that kind of thing or, Idk anything really?  If you have never felt this way then.. I SO hate you.  Ok, not hate but really?! Please tell me how you control it.  Most of the time I don't get to this point because if I want to do something then I just do it.  But you know what, sometimes there are some things that you just can't do because of whatever reason.  And although, you really want to follow through there is just that logic that says, "No. Don't do it. You can't."  And then you remember that deep down you must be a really good person.  Somewhere in there.  gah. fml. 

It's a good thing my mom, sister and my mason are coming this weekend because I really want to chop off my hair and have had thoughts of dying it dark all day long. Yeah.... both are things that I should never be allowed to do, yet, part of me just wants to be like "be ballsy.  It can't get worse" when in all actuality, it really could get worse. ugh.  Somebody please stop me before I do something irrational and end up crying like Cameron Diaz because of how hideous I know I would feel after getting rid of all of my hair.  ey yi yi.  Honestly, I just want to do something crazy and up in here... the hair is about all you can mess with without being basically damned.  


It's not official but I'm really contemplating moving.  Probably staying in the same general area but I'm about to stick it to the man. Aka--Sterling Point Apartment.  We'll see.  Someone please pray for me. haha. really.


I think our group of friends has decided, yet again, on Vegas for our little summer get away. Super original but I'm really excited for our a smaller group to go.  It's a different group this time and we are closer than before so I think it will be a super good time.  I mean, come on, we still talk about Vegas from last year, so of course it will be a good time!  More deats to come :)


If I haven't mention it yet, Coleman is all settled in Canada!  Phew.  Honestly, that stress has been half of the reason why I've been so crazy all week long.  But now that he's settled and Sam is on his way and Easton will be shortly behind, I'm feeling a lot better about the situation!


Here's wishing everyone a great weekend.  And a happy Cinco de Mayo!  I will be with the family but ohh do I need this weekend! Even though, I still don't have a debit card and we are shopping tomorrow.. ew.  FFFFFFFMMMMMLLLL, Identity Theft!   


Oh well, moving on! xoxoxo

Friday's Favorite Things--For the Ladies

I know it's been a billion years since I've done this segment but I thought I would let you in on a couple of favorites recently!


Victoria Secret's Drenched in Pink, "Pretty and Pure" Lotion

seriously, obsessed with this stuff.  The bottle is only one of my favorite things about this product.  But don't be tricked--they have MULTIPLE scents that come in this same kind of bottle.  So test the "Pretty and Pure" and see what you think.  It's way soft and the smell is just like the name describes it.  I love it and I did the "Boy approval" test and got a "mmmm you smell so good" out of it.  So I think it's a keeper :)  




Urban Decay All Nighter Setting Spray


I'm not sure if i'm the only one, but by the time I get home from work, the Bare Minerals that I applied on my face that morning is usually pretty bare looking...like, not event there anymore; I hate it.  This spray actually works for me!  


All you do is apply your makeup, close your eyes and then spritz 3 or 4 sprays right over the top of your makeup and you are good to go for hours!  I don't use it everyday because, let's be honest, there are some days where I could care less if my makeup lasts all day.  But I've found that if I'm going to go to a concert, or dancing, or staying out really late that this stuff really does the trick!  You can get a good sized bottle for only $12 bucks at Sephora.

OH yeah, Wednesday, YEAH!

I think I will just start by saying that this last week has been a really weird one and my mind has sort of been 10 different places...so bare with me on this one:)


*singing to Klondike bar song* 
"What would you do-oo-OOO for a Cheese prize?!?" 
-Anna
I was laughing so hard about this mostly because I was so confused. I guess at their High School they gave cheese products as prizes for doing really ridiculous things? ha.   Weirdest thing I've heard of in a really long time.  The best part was that she's been out of high school for a while and she was STILL upset that she never got a cheese prize. lol


"I'm so jealous you're having a Super Hero party.  If I was there I would come as Jesus."
-Topher
Can we talk about the fact that I hate that he left us for the summer and is in Florida?  Or the fact that I really don't know the kid but love him?! haha. But really, I suppose Jesus is the ultimate super hero, though.  Good thinking, Toph!  I can honestly just picture him showing up to my apartment dressed up and people being so awkwardly confused.  hahaha.


"Everyone has two..." -Nieko clearly talking about nipples
"Are you talking about your penis?" -Vicky
bahaha. Are you joking me?  There are many times where something is said and you could be like "oh yeah, I see where you could think we were talking about that"  but this one...there is just no relevance to it at all.  Reasons--Girls don't have a P, therefore not EVERYONE has two of whatever we were talking about AND let's not forget that boys don't have two "P's" downstairs; That would be scary.  Maybe she was looking at my sperm farm that I have in my kitchen or something so her mind was just off?  Who knows.  haha


(note--it's not a real sperm farm.. but I do have have some little sea monkeys in my kitchen.  Apparently they are little shrimp but I call them my sperm farm because they look more like that then shrimp...or monkeys.  Creepy yet awesome at the same time?  umm, Mostly creepy.)


"We need to talk."
-Brad
I'm only adding this one this week because these are four words that no one ever wants to hear.  I mean, it's usually never good.  So for future reference, dear people of this world, can you try to take this out of your vocab when you have something important to say because when you say this^^...a billion irrational things go through the other person's head. haha. Try just coming out and saying what you need to say.  That way it's like "BAM!--Ok, I can deal with what you just said" and there is not time to make up crap.  haha. oh geez.


"I really can't see you wearing that hat." -New Kid at Liz's birthday party..chase or something...
*under my breath* "B, you don't know my life!" -me
Honestly, I don't know if I was more offended about the fact that I just barely met the kid and he was hating on my accessories or the fact that he just saw that it was gangsta cool and didn't think that was my THANG and could pull it off.  yeah, I said thang and I meant it.  I totally rock my "Dirty" hat.  Step off, Douche.


"Make Love to the Night {expletive}"
-really funny black dude
this was on a movie we watched this weekend and I honestly wish I could get away with saying this to everyone I meet as I bid them farewell because the way he says it is just so freaking funny.


"You have this glow about you today; Did something amazing happen recently?" -home teacher at church
"uhhhh.. I went tanning yesterday..?" -me
hahaha.  Honestly, I couldn't think of anything really good that had happened to me but I figured the glow was from tanning?!  meh.  He responded with "not that kind of glow."  Soooo,  OK, not everyone thinks about superficial stuff like that.  Got it!  But honestly, I couldn't think of anything good that had happened so I don't know why I was radiating happiness.  Whatevs.


"I'm packing and I'm sad."
-Sam
So funny because he did sound really sad.  Um, how about you boys just don't go? ok. Thanks!


"If it's something you normally wouldn't do then it's probably a good thing."
-Savanna
Have a I mentioned that I love her?  Because I do.   We were chatting about life, drama and other things and this^ line really stuck out to me.  It's true.  Trying new things and stepping out of your comfort zone is a good thing.  Sure, there might be consequences but how will you know if you don't try and how will you learn if you don't make any mistakes?  I mean, in general we try not to make mistakes but sometimes the biggest mistakes we make is not taking opportunities.. (oh sav, if I could only include the rest of our convo without saying too much. haha. Love you :))


"Sorry about your boobs."
-Mom
I was venting to my mom about how bad things come in "3's" and how yesterday it was proven true.  I had 1-identity theft issues (AGAIN), 2-found out that rent is going up next month because of the "housing market" (what a joke) AND 3-to top it all off, since I've been watching what I eat more and stuff, I've lost a tiny bit of weight but realized yesterday that it's been basically ALL in my boobs.  Honestly, I think I was most distraught about the last one.  Mom understood my pain.  She didn't comment on the other things but sent her sympathy about my boob problem...Moms are the best.

Doesn't have to be pure SUCKage.

One thing I've learned in my many years of being classified as an "LDS single" is that in the midst of all the suckage (which is about 95% of the time for most people) it can actually be a really good time.  Now, it hasn't always been this way.  Getting over the pressure to find your eternal companion, wed, and have a billion babies before you are 25 or else you are a "failure," is a hard thing to overcome for most people.  I know this, and most of you do too because you are there or you were there at one point in your life.  


Pretty sure I was over it after my freshman year of college in 2007.


Honestly, it was just never really a "thing" for me.  I don't know why. But whatever the case, once you're over it and I mean, REALLY over it, that's when you forget about all of the pressures and you just have fun.  F-U-N. I hate to admit that I'm over it in fear that my dad will somehow find out, think that I've given up, which would have to force him into his dad mode, which would end up with a long conversation about how I need to try ldssingles.com, which would in turn end with lots of eye rolling...  No offense dad, but no thanks.   I've got this, I promise ;) I haven't given up.  I just don't care right now.


My reasoning for bringing up such an ridiculous topic is that EVERY Sunday, without fail, this one girl in my ward (whom I adore) asks me, "do you have any fun/new dating stories from this week?"  Umm.  pretty sure I haven't had a fun/new dating story for over 2 years.  Did you NOT listen to me say a few months ago that I don't date and quite frankly don't care?  haha who ARE these people!?  Am I not normal or something because I really don't care right now? Is that the only thing that matters to them?  pssht. whatevs.  My answer is always something like this..


"haha, No.  But I'm having lots of fun! *insert cheesy grin:)*"


I'm still wanting to use the "actually--I'm a lesbian" approach but again, like I've discussed with a couple of friends, we don't want people thinking that's really true.  So I haven't used that one in real life...yet. haha


But the true thing is that I do have fun; loads of it!  And as long as I'm not getting myself into trouble then I think that's more than OK.  I'm young, not hideous looking (haha) and I'm a REALLY good time.  So why shouldn't I be happy and having fun?  I don't really have a set motto when it comes to this kind of stuff because I basically go with flow... but I say to those of you who haven't gotten over the "WAH, I'm single.. I hate the dating game, BLAH DE FREAKING DA" thing, is simply to stop thinking that dating is the only thing that matters.  Shut that out of your mind, right now.  Just have fun and think about things before you do them (that's the key).  And in the midst of doing that, if you find someone you want to go on a date with, then do.  That's awesome :)


I think what I realized yesterday, though, is that I probably need to be a little more careful with my "just have fun" thing... I mean, sometimes I find myself thinking "Ummm what am I doing?" But meh... I'm figuring that out as I go.. and so will you!  You might make mistakes in the process but you learn from them. Just go with the flow and LIVE for crying out loud!


I would say one of my friends' old motto of "If it feels good, do it" haha but that isn't always the best advice. MURP:/ 


Just forget about the pressures (wherever they are coming from) and have fun living YOUR life. And if you have some fun stories/drama.. email me! haha


Oh YEAH, Single, YEAH!!

Sunday Craft time!

I told you.. now that Coleman is gone, I have a little more free time to do crafts!  I found this one yesterday morning from The Forge, fell in love, and decided I would make it since I had all of the stuff!  


$3 and a couple hours of easy work for a cute sweatshirt? yeah, I think so.

Of course, I didn't go as hardcore as she does for this first one... I only did about 4 rows and I did my weave a bit thicker but it turned out super cute.  A couple of the girls didn't believe me that I made it but clearly it's not perfect!  I think we will be making a few more of these this summer :)


Tips--When you buy your $3 sweater at Walmart, get it baggy...you want it to be comfy! Also, she says you can use any kind of jersey fabric for the weave.. I ended up using a super soft t-shirt from the Gap that's been in my DI pile for a little while.  Anything like that will work perfectly!

Super Hero Party and a great Saturday!

I love throwing birthday parties. I might be a little OCD about it and I might hate the "playing hostess" part sometimes but I do love putting on a great party where people can just come and have fun! This weekend we decided we would throw a little super hero party for Liz's birthday. I know what you're Thinking... Little?! Yeah. Not little.

We made comic signs...

Hung Balloons from the ceiling..

Made a cute little area for the food...

Made the most bomb cake... 

and masks...

but really, look at that cake! 

Overall, it was a great party!  Sure, there were some interesting moments but it wouldn't be my life without some interesting/even a little awkward for me moments.  I just have to say that I love my friends and how..uh... comfortable we are with each other.

There could be multiple reasons why I was feeling a little sick this morning but let's just hope it was that  dare I had to do and not something else.  Thank goodness I was able to have my vain/lazy Saturday complete with a pedicure,  shopping, tanning (and turning into a lobster), taking a super long nap, lounging, pizza with ariana and watching movies with the girls (little cry sesh was needed.  I'm convinced crying is good for the soul..)  It was just a really great day!   

I've decided this weekend that I will never be a lot of things and I'm OK with that.. but right now, I'm great with being Jenn...complete with the craziness, inappropriate comments, a little OCD, and a big heart. I really do care so much about my family and the people around me and I want them to be happy.  I just want them to make good decisions so that might be why it seems like I talk so much "trash."  I really do just care.  I am just so thankful to be surrounded by such great, smart, attractive and inspiring people!  It really is a good day to be alive :)
