jess lovez the interwebz

Published by jess under jess

really, i do. i’ve just decided something has GOT to give, and blogging is the one really selfish thing i do with my spare time. i’ve just got to do it less to meet all my other responsibilities.

i’ve been suffering from fatigue. i’m not sleeping well. then when i finally DO get to sleep, it’s increasingly unbearable to get out of bed in the morning. i’m just exhausted. i’ve always been the type of person who hits snooze at least once or twice before dragging my ass outta bed, but more than two times is ridiculous. and these last few weeks, it’s been five or six times before i get up.

then i feel like a piece of shit b/c i can’t get up in the morning. every night before i go to bed i say to myself, “tomorrow will be different.” i go to bed early, then i lie awake…restless, tired, exhausted…and it’s the same damn thing ALL OVER AGAIN.

i’m literally nutz. NUTZ! and i’ve suffered from insomnia before…but this is different. i don’t have a bunch of thoughts racing through my head about things i need to do, things i want to do or things i simply cannnnot forget. my mind is a blank slate. and still, no sleep.

other happy notes: we’ve been blogrolled by the political voices of women. while we (read: mostly me) don’t blog about politics as much as i would like, the three of us are very politically-minded and we all vote. we encourage others to do so. mostly, i encourage people to do their own research and draw their own conclusions…and it’s important for people to vote locally. your local vote counts SO MUCH MORE than your vote for our president. it really does! your vote for city council, your mayor and your state representatives are sooo important.

paul and i are coaching an U8 girl’s soccer team. they named themselves the “shooting stars.” very appropriate for a girl’s soccer team if you ask me. i’m still rocking the indoor soccer and we WILL win a game, if it’s the last damn thing we do. we’re playing very well together and it’s really fun to get out and run around.

married life is fantastic. i really will post some freaking wedding photoz if i ever get some time.

and for you faithful blogging pals…i’m reading your blog, i promise. i’m just finding it impossible to comment as much as i would like. i still (heart) you. i’ll get this sleep thing resolved, i’ll dig out at work and all will be well.

until then…i’ll see ya on the interwebz.

Happy Birthday Al!!!

Published by Bridge under al, bridge, humor

Well if you haven’t noticed, we have a new banner!
(Al, only because you insisted… I changed our banner. Lucky for you that it is OUR birthdays this month and I picked cute pictures of us to put on it.)

Until yesterday I no idea of what to post about Al’s birthday. Luckily for me she did a belated birthday post with a super embarrassing picture of me and gave me inspiration. Poor her. Lucky readers. HAHAHA.

Al mentioned that I like to Doll her up. Here is a great example of why. Isn’t she HAWT???

Here is an example that shows that we apparently like to flip off the camera. Jess had a picture of me flipping off the camera. I have a picture of Al flipping off the camera. I know I have one of Jess as well somewhere.

Can I just say… SANDALS AND SOCKS?!?! And toe socks at that? WTF?

Here is how Al affords buying beer.

Yes, that is AL dancing on STAGE in New Orleans. See those beads? No comment. I also love how her tongue is sticking out in this picture. I just LOVE it. I think this is just as embarrassing as the photo she posted of me.

I like this picture of Al because I think she just looks cute.

So Happy Birthday Al. I really hope that after this post you are still my friend. HAHA. I love doing silly things with you whenever we get together. I can’t wait to go to Europe with you to get an entirely new set of embarrassing pictures. I’ll drink a beer in your honor tonight with T. Did you know we are going out tonight to celebrate your bday? Yep. Anyways, (holds up beer) to another 20+ years of friendship!

Cheers!

Belated Birthday to Bee-Ridge

Published by Al under al, bridge

I wouldn’t think about revealing the age of BeeRidge but I do want to wish her a belated (and I apologize for that B) birthday. I promised in the comments of Jess’s b-day post that I would try to find embarrassing photos of The Bridge and I’ll admit, they’re hard to come by. She has this habit of knowing when someone has a camera aimed at her and always manages to pull off this great smile or some other look that’s perfect for the occasion.

Bridge, you are my rock. You make me laugh. You make me cry. You do everything in your power to get me all girled up. I do it because it makes you happy, which, in turn, makes me happy! My life would be extra ~~exciting~~ lame without you.

So, HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY (and I think it’s bullshit that you didn’t change the banner for your b-day)! I LOVE YOU!!!!

Let the photos commence!

calling in a favor

Published by jess under humor, jess

ok, so this is a plea:

will you please go here and vote for RILEY? just humor me here, ok? riley is a co-worker and this is a partial joke, which makes it even funnier.

thanks in advance for participating in this rather juvenile Internet stunt.

**UPDATE** as of 3/26 at 1:15 p.m. MST, riley is in 2nd place. keep those votes coming!!!

once upon a time

Published by jess under jess

there was a little frenchwoman…and she met a handsome, debonair u.s. soldier.

they fell in love.

they had a baby.

and that baby was bridge.

today, 32 29 years ago, bridge was born, kicking and screaming, on european soil. she’s been loved and spoiled by her parents ever since. just ask her.

please stop by today and say happy birthday to one of the most amazing women i’ve ever had the pleasure to know. she’s smart, she’s organized, she’s funny and she’s got one of the cleanest houses i’ve ever seen. she puts up with my sarcasm, my bad habits and she laughs at my crappy jokes. she even puts up with my home zoo to visit me at my house on occasion. she’s always been there for me and i’m grateful for her ~~friendship~~ sisterhood.

for her birthday this year, we went to what may have been the crappiest jazz game i’ve ever been to…the jazz lost, they were behind for the entire game and the crowd kinda sucked.

except for me and bridge.

we ate dinner at the braza grill in clearfield (take the layton exit…) and i highly recommend it. however, do NOT eat the garlic-infused meats if you will be drinking beer or other carbonated beverages throughout the evening. you’ll be sorry. trust me. also, if you sign up for their newsletter online, you get a 25 percent off coupon - which on our bill amounted to about 12 dollars, so it’s worth printing out. i probably also signed up for a bunch of spam, but i already get an inbox full of offers for LG washers/dryers, large screen televisions and the proverbial penis enlargement drugs. what’s one more??

happy birthday, bridge. here’s to another year of living - who would have thought we’d ever be 32?

p.s. i’d like to take this opportunity to point out, yet again, that I AM YOUNGER THAN bridge. i’ll probably do this every year, so get used to it.
