My ish
I Ran Into a Pole!
I am normally a very clumsy person. I run into things ALL the time and get ridiculous bruises from who knows what clumsy act I have just committed. Yesterday as I was walking down the street with our friends (Dennis and Karen) who were in town, Karen was telling me the most hilarious poop story ever. Sorry, but that is really what it was about. I was so into the story that I was looking at her, shocked at what she was telling me, not watching where I was going and SMACK! I ran my FACE right into a pole and it was LOUD! I had been walking at a pretty good speed and it literally stopped me in my tracks! There were about five or six people in front of us that all turned around because of how loud it was, not to mention that couple behind that saw…
Read MorePee Shy at the Doctor’s
Justin and I are in the bestest of moods today! I had my second doctor’s appointment today. It was actually just a little blood taking and urine peeing. There is a lab just down the street from us, so we headed on over this afternoon. I knew that I would have a urine test, so I purposely drank a lot of water (so I thought). The lady at the front desk (who also took my blood) was SO VERY nice! She let us stumble through our broken French and was very patient with us. It is a whole other deal to communicate in medical terms! She brought me back to the back room, while Justin waited out front. Everything was normal as she stuck the needle in and began drawing blood. I think she took about six vials of blood. I am being tested for the works. All STD’s and…
Read MoreA Pregnant Girl’s Best Friend… Sleeping.
Can’t I just sleep all day? I love sleep. It all started in college when I would come home from class and my roomies (Jamie and Anna) would be taking a little nap all cozy in their beds. I was so excited to join them! That is where my love for sleep first blossomed. As I have written before, I have never liked waking up in the morning, as I am an angry waker. I will do whatever I can possibly do to just sleep for five extra minutes!!! This pregnancy has not only made me love sleep even more, but it has given me the best excuse ever to just sleep the day away. I am WAY more exhausted now, but I actually have a good excuse for why I sleep so much! "Oh sorry Justin, I really need to stay in bed for a bit longer. Did you…
Read MoreGoodbye Mullet. Goodbye Forever!!!
I said goodbye to my mullet today. I was brave people! BRAVE! For the last two days I have had butterflies in my stomach as I thought of the fact that TODAY I was going to get my haircut. On Thursday I gathered the little courage I had to walk into a nice looking salon (that also looked cool on the internet) and make an appointment. I have been researching and contemplating getting my hair done here for about two months now. While making the rendez-vous, the lady asked for my "prenom". I choked. I couldn’t remember if that meant my last name or my first! I know it should be obvious with the whole "pre" part of the word, but I choked. About ten seconds later, she said (annoyed may I add), "NAME!" Oops. "Oh, Jennifer," I sputtered out turning a light shade of red. Since that day, I…
Read MoreMy Mullet is Back!
I am delirious because it is 3am and I can’t go to bed cause my hair is wet. I know you are wondering why my hair is wet at 3am. We went to a restaurant to eat with friends tonight and everything here is so smokey that I refuse to sleep with cigarette smoke hair on my clean sheets. I don’t have anything to do so I thought I would post about what has been on my mind lately…my mullet. It is true. I have one once again! My best friend from high school cut it in December and it was a great cut. She did everything she could to turn a SUPER mullet, nasty cut into a cute stylish thing. Now…it has grown back! It is like an annoying wart that you keep picking off, but it keeps on returning bigger and nastier! Justin picked his wart on his…
Read MoreSkin “ish” in Paris
Why me? God keeps me humble. I will admit that sometimes I think I am pretty darn cute. Yes, I will even go as far to say that sometimes I think I am pretty much a hottie. Since moving to Paris I think God is playing tricks on me. See the picture if you don’t know what I am talking about. If it isn’t feeling fat, it is breaking out in zits! If it isn’t the zits, it is a crazy itchy rash all over my face that looks like little white heads (yuck, I know). If it isn’t the little gross white heads, then it is an ugly boy haircut that won’t even cover up the rash! If it isn’t the ugly boy haircut, than it is this new fun thing called ECZEMA! NO!!!! I never thought that I would have this nasty skin disorder, but it is true!…
Read MoreFrench School Shmench School!!
Is it so wrong to hate school? I have always hated school for as long as I can remember! When I was in elementary school I didn’t know the tricks of faking sick. As I started junior high, I was pretty much becoming an expert. I learned to fake bloody noses, fevers, throwing up, cough, sore throat, stomach ache, period cramps (sorry guys!). You name it! I faked it! As I started high school, I learned to fake my mom’s signature. I was so proud of myself too because she has such amazing handwriting. I no longer had to fake sick, because there was no way she would find out! I was a sick and twisted young girl! I skipped school around 50 days a year. No joke. You can see my report cards! We won’t talk about how I passed my classes. That is a whole other story of…
