D.B. + J.H. = True Love Forever

Angela and I were fortunate enough to receive tickets to the Brad Paisley concert in Regina last week. We've both seen Brad and his opening act Dierks Bentley, but not from the fifth row and not for free, so we were excited.

Dierks took the stage after Crystal Shawanda a shameless hair dancer. He looked great. Ange and I stood pretty much the whole concert. We danced and sang a little too. Dierks put on a great show. And I fell in love.

During "Every Mile A Memory", Dierks looked directly at me. I had been singing and pointing. He pointed at me, and we locked eyes. He had the most beautiful blue eyes ever.

We continued singing together "From some old movie going back in time you and me, Every day, a page turned down; every night, a lonesome sound".

Then he slowly moved across the stage and away from me as my heart broke. I turned to my camera and then to Ange to see if either had witnessed what had just happened. I needed to know I wasn't crazy.

I totally eye f@#$%d Deirks Bently. Ange was there. It really happened.

That was my "Jordan Knight moment".

What I Learned From Home Videos

Angela recently had our home movies put onto DVD's. They have been hilarious and very educational. Here's what I learned:

• I am a blonde and should never try red/burgundy, black, or splotchy hair
• Pleather pants are never ok
• You always grow into the person you are supposed to be. The Director who has a plan and needs you to "stay in the corner" or The Star who is just happy to have some attention
• No matter how much you hate your baby brother he's adorable and you're lucky to have him
• Some of the best times happen when you don't even know it
• Take video of your Grandparents, because once they die, it's nice to remember them
• Take video of babies, because when they grow up, it's hard to remember them being cute and little
• Skateboarding isn't exciting in 1992 and still hasn't gotten any better in 2002
• If you want to try out for American Idol, videotape yourself first and make sure you have talent. Luckily Angela and I do.
• It's ok to be a little humiliated, you were young and didn't know better
• You have to come to terms with the wrinkles and pounds you have gained since being taped
• We were all stupid giggly girls once, so let's not be haters anymore
• The 90's were awesome filled with Smurfs and New Kids

It's been wonderful to go back in time and hear the laughs of kids who have grown up or people who have passed away. I'm so blessed to have had such a wonderful childhood and a little less blessed that it's now going to follow me forever! Haha!! Jen

I Love Conquering Temptation more than Chocolate

I went to Wal Mart today, grabbed a cart and on the inside advertisment of the cart was 2 McDonald's strawberry pies staring at me.

The whole time I was in wal Mart, I'd look into my cart and see them. I figured when I was done, I'd re evaluate if I actually wanted one, since I do have enough points. (For those of you not aware, I joined weight watchers and have already lost 10.2lbs in 4 weeks!! I'm a rockstar heh?)

As I was finishing shopping I wanted to get some Crystal Light singles, guess what aisle there are in?? The one with the gummy bears, gum balls, licorice, and chocolate bars. Lots and lots of chocolate bars and boxes of chocolates.

This is an old Walmart, so the aisles are small and can't really fit 2 carts side by side and as I am making my escape, there is a traffic jam that lands me infront of the chocolate for a good two minutes, I probably was staring and drueling. And people were probably staring at me.

Finally I emerged from the aisle feeling like a tortured prisoner and having to pee so bad from my increased water drinking, I was actually crossing my legs.

So I made it to the express checkout after getting rammed by an old lady in her scooter. I put my yoga mat, weights, and shape magazine on the checkout, paid and left.

Without chocolate and without fatty little pies.

Sorry Blog!

Dear Blog,

Please try and understand that I have neglected classes to workout and have fun and now I have midterms.

As much as I would love to write, I need to read 6 weeks worth of text in 2 days.

Don't be jealous of my Wii. It's starting to get old and doesn't give me the painful workout I desire.

I will try and post once a week from now on. I'll even find new stickers to put on the calendar for when I do. If it can make me exercise, I'm sure it can me write a blog entry.

Love, Jennifer

Bad, bad bloggers

Because my job is super cool, I learned at a seminar at work the other day all about blogging. Turns out a 'best practice' is to actually blog all the time. Say, more than once a week. So when I realized we hadn't even posted something in February, I was a little disappointed in myself. Of course, I have a co-blogger, but I think she is cheating on the blog with her Wii.
The blog wanted me to tell her this:

"Dear Jen,
I thought you were happy to have me in your life.
I don't understand why you always post on Facebook and play your Wii, but you never take the time to write on me.
I don't know what I did wrong.
I hope you aren't mad.
Maybe you can give me a second chance.
Love, Ange-and-Jen-Have-A-Blog ..."
