I think they can wind up being terrible and trashy and you regret them 5 years from now.<br />

I think you can have glaring errors and regret them immediately.<br />
Now I'm not judging tattoos here but I think we can all agree that spelling mistakes are a no go for tattoos. </div>

<div>
I'm going to tell the stories of my tattoos and why I got them. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
When you turn 18 you kind of want to do something adult. I don't smoke so buying cigarettes was not a realistic option. I'm not really into going to a strip club, so tattoo it was. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
My first tattoo I got in high school with one of my best high school friends. We both wanted to commemorate a big moment in our lives and our faith. Now, I wanted to make sure I got a tattoo somewhere you can't see in a wedding dress. That's a thing for me. If I have a tattoo I want to be able to cover it when I want to look super classy. I also have family members who aren't super tattoo supportive. </div>
<div>
Anyway, at this point in my life, I had gone through a big religious moment. I don't like to get preachy here, but this was a big moment in my life that really shaped who I am today and decisions I would make for the rest of my life. </div>
<div>

<br /></div>
<div>
I got a tattoo of am ichthys or a "Jesus fish" as some people would say with the word agape (<span lang="grc">ἀγάπη) </span>written inside in Greek. Agape is a word used in the Bible to mean unconditional love: divine, unconditional, self-sacrificing, active, volitional, and thoughtful love. Different from philia which usually relates to friendship, brotherhood or generally non-sexual affection and different from eros, meaning sexual affection. To me this was important because it's not the love that people let go of, it is love that fills your life regardless of what you do and why you do it. You always have a heart to come back to and a home. I knew no matter if my beliefs changed or were challenged through my life, I could look at this and remember the type of love that changed me from making some terrible decisions and the kind of love that we should be displaying to one another in life. I truly believe that if the world had more love, it'd be a more beautiful place, regardless of religious beliefs. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
My second tattoo I got when I was about 21 years old. How appropriate. I wanted a tattoo to connect some really important parts of my life when I was in college. I am a member of Alpha Sigma Alpha and ladybugs are our thing. So I wanted a tattoo of a ladybug to show off my Alpha love and to be a symbol of the group I am so proud to be a part of. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgY6WEtZsZf1aFcV7pg9nAaNAMpzMJoPBo1XhDlPjicqhdzM6U_pstr33e-7m1zMCQxalQAf1TlJbHwpW1yG51g1auuBeYmbpyvuRvFj68PZ4s6qI_WI-l0d3VEKKnglkk8LvohAhlDeMw/s1600/IMG_2379.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="298" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgY6WEtZsZf1aFcV7pg9nAaNAMpzMJoPBo1XhDlPjicqhdzM6U_pstr33e-7m1zMCQxalQAf1TlJbHwpW1yG51g1auuBeYmbpyvuRvFj68PZ4s6qI_WI-l0d3VEKKnglkk8LvohAhlDeMw/s400/IMG_2379.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
Inside the ladybug, though, I had music notes instead of dots. Music has always been a part of my life. I love singing. My first two years of college I was in my undergraduate choir. That was an amazing experience for me and I made a lot of good friends through being a part of it. My junior and senior year I was in our all female A'Cappella group, Mainstreet. This meant a lot to me and I developed even better friendships here and made some amazing memories with outstanding women. I can't tell you how special it is to me and how amazing it is to make amazing music with a talented group of women and to work so hard on something and hear it all come together into one great sound. This was my way to bring together some important pieces of this part of my life into one tattoo.<br />
<br /></div>
<div>
Now a lot of people will say <b>"Can't you have the memories without putting it on your body?" </b></div>
<div>
Yeah, you can! </div>
<div>
I think some people are tattoo people and some people are not. </div>
<div>
I'm a moderate tattoo person.</div>
<div>
I can't tell you how many people ask about my tattoos and it becomes an ice breaker. I like representing important parts of my life this way. I might get one or two more, that's all. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Also, I won't lie, it does hurt. The worst is if you get anything that needs to be colored in. </div>
<div>
I'm impressed with people with face tattoos. Not that I want one, but that has to hurt like woah.<br />
<br />
I know people have strong feelings about tattoos for different reasons, but I love mine, and I don't regret either of them. Maybe one day I will, but I try not to regret any of my decisions, instead treat them as learning opportunities. <br />
<br />
Will I get another tattoo? Yep - I have plans for at least one more, and I love it but I'll always keep mine what I consider to be classy, although I will always envy edgy people who get away with some kick ass tattoos. <br />
<br />

It was our end of the year hurrah! I know I keep talking about the end of the year, but I didn't imagine leaving my job at the end of this year. It's so bittersweet only working with students for 2 years before they move on to another campus. I'm so glad I got to experience this time in my life with them. </span></span></span></div>

We are approaching the end of the semester here, so my posts are going to be a little all over the place!<br />
<br />
Steve came to visit last weekend. He arrived on Saturday and left on Wednesday. I tried to plan some fun stuff without allowing us to get overwhelmed and not have any quality time just at home.<br />
<br />
Saturday I made meatloaf with mashed potatoes and peas for dinner - one of the meals he's been asking for and evidently misses the most. How 1950's housewife of me! We had some Holly's cupcakes - probably some of the best I've ever had! I had coconut with a cream cheese frosting and Steve had red velvet. We watched Les Miserables as well, because Steve hadn't seen it yet.<br />

Sunday we went to the Renaissance Fair. It was a blast! The weather was disgusting It was in the 60s and raining. The good part was that it wasn't busy and a lot of stuff is inside, and I have a pretty stellar rain jacket, so we still had a lot of fun. We got a pretty awesome marshmallow catapult that made Steve feel like he was 6 years old. He said he's going to load dog treats on it when we have a dog and shoot them across the room. <br />
The fair was a lot bigger than I thought. They had tons of booths with jewelry, decorations for your home, Renaissance style attire and things like elf ears, horns, dresses, boots, and more for you to purchase if you like to dress up for the fair. They had places where you could get your palm read or tarot cards read and there were tons of live acts and music!<br />
Of course, we had delicious fair food! We had CHOCOLATE COVERED BACON. Yes, you read that right. I literally could have eaten my way through the fair. I'm not even joking. There were so many different booths and foods to try. We decided to share a smoked turkey leg and conch fritters and shared a beer. It was delicious.<br />
They also had this guy in stocks where you could throw a tomato at him, the booth was called "Vegetable Justice." First of all, I ignored his heckling. Second of all, I am terrible at throwing for things like this. The first one I threw so hard I let the tomato go too late and it smashed the ground like 15 feet in front of me. The second one I threw so high it hit the stupid awning. It was embarrassing. Steve also missed but came MUCH closer.<br />

Monday night we went out to Two Urban Licks in Atlanta. It's one of my favorite restaurants. Steve and I went there in November 2011 as our last "date" as fiances before we got married so we wanted to go back. I didn't take any pictures of food. We were really close to another couple and I thought that would be embarrassing and tacky. I do have this one not so great picture of us taken by the valet. Also, we forgot cash to tip the valets. I usually remember but this time I totally forgot and then I felt like such an asshole. I guess I deserved the terrible picture.<br />

Tuesday night we just kind of kept it low key since he was leaving the next morning.<br />
<br />
I'm so glad we had all this time together, but I really hate it when he has to leave. It's even worse now the the uncertainty of when I'll be up there. I know it will all work out in the right time. I just have to make peace with it right now.<br />
<br />

<i style="font-family: inherit;">Why did I start blogging?</i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; line-height: 18px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 18px;">Weelll, in high school I had a livejournal. Remember that?? I would write </span><span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 18px;">thoughts</span><span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 18px;"> that to me were SO deep and through provoking. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 18px;">Actually they weren't. </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 18px;">It was me passively trying to break up with my boyfriend (that was so terrible, i can't </span></span><span style="line-height: 18px;">believe</span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 18px;"> I did that) or being all moody and </span></span><span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 18px;">angsty</span><span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 18px;"> about basic high school issues like heart break, friends, drama, you know.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 18px;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 18px;">I got back to blogging in college with some friends through Xanga. Same song different tune. I was writing about what I thought was this deep, thought provoking stuff, a lot of it about faith and choices. I was going through a lot my sophomore year of college and it was a great outlet for me. Not as embarassing as high school but still pretty uncomfortable. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white;">
<span style="line-height: 18px;">I've thought about blogging on and off for a really long time, and always have tons of ideas, because I always think my life is so interesting that I need to share tons of it with the world. In grad school my friend and I wanted to start a Maybe that's narcissistic but whatevs I love writing it and I love sharing it! I love reading about other people's lives so clearly it's just because it's our nature to be interested in the human process!</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white;">
<span style="line-height: 18px;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white;">
<span style="line-height: 18px;">I started my blog officially last summer. I started it under another blog name that I've now changed to this. I actually started the blog to keep our friends and family updated on our lives. Steve and I moved to Georgia in July of 2011. </span><span style="line-height: 18px;">When</span><span style="line-height: 18px;"> I graduated from grad school I searched everywhere for a job and I loved the </span><span style="line-height: 18px;">opportunity</span><span style="line-height: 18px;"> I had here. We both moved here while most of our family is in Ohio and Pennsylvania. I wanted to be able to update them on what was going on. I also love to write. I was an English major in college and while this dream would never come true, if I could have one thing in life magically happen, I would write for SNL or be a writer on a TV show. So now the blog is kind of a modgepodge of life events and fun topics. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 18px;">I keep blogging because I love it. It's a great way to look back on moments in my life. There aer some life events, like my wedding, that I wish I had been blogging through to have a documentation of that process. I am really excited to blog about future life events, though. I know one day I'll blog about buying a house (if I ever feel adult enough to do so), when we buy a dog, or having a child, and so much more. I'll have all of that written down. My friends and family from college read it, and it gives us a way to connect in life when we can't </span><span style="line-height: 18px;">always</span><span style="line-height: 18px;"> call each other.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">I also love connecting with other bloggers. I think it's hard to navigate at first but I've found some other bloggers that share a lot of things about life with me. We get to know each other a little bit through reading posts, we encourage each other, and I hope I get to know some of these great bloggers even more. </span></div>

When you're little and you think about who you want to be when you grow up it's usually fireman, fairy, princess, you know those realistic things. When it comes to my life in general, goals and plans are important to me. Right now my life is so up in the air it's fun to think about some of these fun things I want to be able to do when I grow up. </center>

Thanks for stopping by I'm so excited that you're here! Please follow me on GFC and Bloglovin (the b with the heart button on the right of the page).<br />
If this is your first time you should read a little about me <a href="http://jeannettewith2ns.blogspot.com/p/about-me.html">here</a>, or read about me and my husband's "love story" <a href="http://jeannettewith2ns.blogspot.com/p/blog-page.html">here</a>. <br />
<br />
So my posts are a little out of order. Normally I'd post what I did this weekend, but since Steve is still visiting, I'm going to wait until his trip is over so I can do one brilliant post about it. Today I wanted <span style="font-size: small;">to be fun and talk about how I think I'm an adult, but every day I'm reminded that I'm kind of not. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Ways I'm not a real grown up yet</b></span><br />
<br />
1. I don't save receipts. I throw them away, lose them, it's bad. The only time I'm good at saving them is when I'm unsure about a purchase, but if I ever got audited, I'd have a problem. <br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://s1173.photobucket.com/user/Jeannette_Holian/media/recieptspha_zpsd62d5efe.gif.html" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo recieptspha_zpsd62d5efe.gif" border="0" src="http://i1173.photobucket.com/albums/r594/Jeannette_Holian/recieptspha_zpsd62d5efe.gif" /></a> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
2. Other than our honeymoon we haven't been on a vacation just the two of us. We've planned on taking a small one to Chattanooga last October, but then life intervened last June when Steve left his job for 6 months. It gets pricey and I'm not even 100% sure how to plan a real vacation that doesn't include cramming as many people into a hotel room as possible and buying alcohol at the ABC store so you don't have to spend as much money at the bars when you go out. I have married friends that go on vacations with their significant other all the time. We'll get there eventually and I'll relish in the fact that I'll feel like an adult!</div>
<br />
3. I buy most of my work clothes from Target and Old Navy. Don't get me wrong, they have incredible stuff but I don't own a bunch of fancy pencil skirts and shoes. I pretty much rotate the same dresses and pants with cardigans every two weeks and do a little mix and matching. I think my wardrobe is fine, but it's not very grown up, as in I have very few "dry clean only" clothes.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://s1173.photobucket.com/user/Jeannette_Holian/media/cute_zpsc1525b28.gif.html" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo cute_zpsc1525b28.gif" border="0" src="http://i1173.photobucket.com/albums/r594/Jeannette_Holian/cute_zpsc1525b28.gif" /></a> </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
4. Sometimes, I save bills and never really open them. Oops. We pretty much pay everything through online bill pay anyways so the paper to me is just dumb. I should still open them, I guess. When Steve and I were living in the same place, he opened all that stuff, now it just sits in a pile that I decided I'll just give to him, because giving him a 3 month old bill next time I see him makes sense. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
5. I keep nail polish at my work desk. Yep, just in case I mess something up and need to fix it. It looks ridiculous.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgiiCZuhYRoRAV253oTny9j1FObnFV0wQ9JgQFCulbt8Ai77Rzsw0k2LiucusmkrwPQsDmHCbMwDtQnGcb4t301PtYlKx308TUaBDw_3FMu-Y4p0EgmOYiDkXmSE_DvcF9wKYh_UYuvaV0/s1600/IMG_2270.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="297" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgiiCZuhYRoRAV253oTny9j1FObnFV0wQ9JgQFCulbt8Ai77Rzsw0k2LiucusmkrwPQsDmHCbMwDtQnGcb4t301PtYlKx308TUaBDw_3FMu-Y4p0EgmOYiDkXmSE_DvcF9wKYh_UYuvaV0/s400/IMG_2270.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
</div>
<br />
6. I watch MTV on occasion and ABC Family. You might think "hey me too!" I'm not saying it's a BAD thing, but let's be real Jersey Shore, Teen Mom, and Step Up are not what one would call quality adult television.<br />
<br />
7. I have an amazing duvet cover, but have not decorated my room, bought sheets to go with it, or made any design effort at all.<br />
<br />
8. I never wear heels unless I can guarantee I'll only be standing in them for about an hour. <br />
<br />
9. I still live on a college campus. If this is your first time stopping by, I'll explain. I work in residence life at a college. I am a professional staff member with a Master's Degree, but I live in an apartment in the residence hall. One of the reasons is because we are first responders to emergencies. We primarily build community, also, so being in the residence hall helps with that. It does not make me feel like an adult at all. <br />
<br />
10. I get excited when I do "adult" or "grown up" things.<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">

</div>
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Ways I feel like a grown up</b></span><br />
<br />
1. I get excited when I go to pick up a prescription at the pharmacy and it's totally covered.<br />
<br />
2. I am tired before 10:30pm every night. I get in bed and watch Dirty Jobs and fall asleep. Caffeine after 9pm? No thank you. Unless I have something to do after work, I put on my pajamas almost immediately when I get home.<br />
<br />
3. I have a 403B<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">

<br />
4. I do my taxes in February.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiihH4VHa42fJqghWAxZvWiod9Q0VhlxidQ2ilWkb2IG74oo-gdDrPJBnj_9BkyHxHMIcSUOFpygmdGA1n7kh59MPDm5vxYReJpXD4xejFoLh6Pfb6iB0BkZbyO9VCL0O9REYc_lrsA1vs/s1600/ryang.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiihH4VHa42fJqghWAxZvWiod9Q0VhlxidQ2ilWkb2IG74oo-gdDrPJBnj_9BkyHxHMIcSUOFpygmdGA1n7kh59MPDm5vxYReJpXD4xejFoLh6Pfb6iB0BkZbyO9VCL0O9REYc_lrsA1vs/s400/ryang.jpg" width="341" /></a></div>
the fact that I find this funny is very "adult" of me, I guess. <br />
<br />
5. I don't understand the thought process of the college students I work with. Seriously? I'm not that much older than they are!<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">

</div>
<br />
6. I know my credit score.<br />
<br />
7. 2 words. Car payments. <br />
<br />
8. I watch Good Morning America as I get ready for work in the morning. My mom used to do this while I watched Adventures in Wonderland on Disney. Do you remember that show?? I know it's not like watching the news, like CNN or something real, but it's close enough to adult for me. <br />

9. This weekend, I cleaned my washing machine. Enough said about that.<br />
<br />
10. I prepare everything for the morning before I go to bed. I pull out my clothes, but my water bottle full of ice in the freezer, put any breakfast/meal items together, put out my running clothes for after work. It's kind of ridiculous.<br />
<br />
I have frequent moments where I question if being 26 really makes me an adult. I've decided it doesn't. I'm married, 26, have a Master's Degree, and still often feel like I'm no where near adulthood. Do any of you have moments where you feel like a real adult? Maybe when I buy a house it will kick in??<br />
Thanks for stopping by!

<br />
I confess that this weather makes me want to roll the windows down on my car, drive around, listen to country music, find a field, and stare at stars.<br />
<br />
I confess that I used the last of my favorite OPI nail polish sample. It's one of those small bottles and I have no idea what the color is called. My manicure turned out all thick and chunky since it was the end of the bottle.<br />
<br />
I confess that eating every sweet and carb insight was terrible for my weight loss but at least I'm back on track.<br />
<br />

</div>
I confess that I used my credit card rewards to get some Old Navy gift cards so I could get more clothes.I bought like 3 dresses. I can't wait until they get here.<br />
<br />
I confess that I want to try the new Wendy's flatbread sandwiches, but let's be real, I REALLY miss the Pita sandwiches they had back in the early 2000s. Do you remember those???<br />
<br />
I confess that the paint chipping off my bumper from the hail storm a few weeks ago is really irritating me. I don't want to pay to get it fixed. I also feel that this is ridiculous and that half the issue is that the paint job must have been shitty but I can't complain to Toyota. WTF.<br />

I confess that I did a Confessional Friday link up last week and forgot to actually link up!<br />
<br />
I confess that I'm using this disgustingly high pollen count as an excuse not to run. But seriously, when I ran the other day with the pollen count at like 4000 my throat was killing me.It felt like it choking me. It's at like 7000 today so I'll be even worse.<br />
<br />
I confess that I'm trying to be more proactive about my happiness. I am very lucky all things considered. I shouldn't be comparing myself to others and feeling so competitive with job searching.<br />

<br />
I confess that Steve will be here in 25 hours (he gets in at 11:30 am tomorrow) and I can hardly contain myself as the hours creep by.<br />
<br />
I hope everyone has a good weekend and a happy friday!<br />

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, Utopia, 'Palatino Linotype', Palatino, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">Here is a repeat post I wanted to post on here from my old blog.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, Utopia, 'Palatino Linotype', Palatino, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, Utopia, 'Palatino Linotype', Palatino, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">One of my favorite things about traveling is the food.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, Utopia, 'Palatino Linotype', Palatino, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">I love it. I remember watching </span><i style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, Utopia, 'Palatino Linotype', Palatino, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">$40 a Day with Rachael Ray</i><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, Utopia, 'Palatino Linotype', Palatino, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"> and learning to "ask the locals" (which to her meant the receptionist at the hotel). Seriously, I will go online, find the restaurants that have been featured on </span><i style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, Utopia, 'Palatino Linotype', Palatino, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">The Best Thing I Ever Ate</i><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, Utopia, 'Palatino Linotype', Palatino, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"> from </span><i style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, Utopia, 'Palatino Linotype', Palatino, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">Food Network</i><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, Utopia, 'Palatino Linotype', Palatino, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"> and make sure we eat something from at least one of the restaurants they featured. </span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, Utopia, 'Palatino Linotype', Palatino, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, Utopia, 'Palatino Linotype', Palatino, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">Sometimes the food just looks so enticing, I forget to take a picture first. Actually, this happens a lot. I know, taking pictures of your food is something people love and hate - but I'll tell you this - if you're hungry, don't read this post. It will make you want to travel and eat!</span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, Utopia, 'Palatino Linotype', Palatino, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">Two years ago in my final year of grad school, we had a national convention in Baltimore, MD. My goal, of course was to eat a crab I could smash with a hammer and wash it down with a Yuengling. Mission accomplished. We also went out to a sushi dinner one night and one of my friends was taken over to the dark side after enjoying sushi for the first time!</span><br />

Steve and I went to NYC for our honeymoon. I had a bit of a hangover after the most amazing wedding spent with friends and family so once we got there, we didn't even site-see. We arrived Sunday, took a nap, watched a football game, and then went to get pizza at <a href="http://www.firstpizza.com/" style="color: #eecc67; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">Lombardi's</a>. I actually planned the food we wanted to eat and days based on location. Monday, we had tickets to see a taping of <i>The Late Show with David Letterman</i>, so after sleeping in, we went to <a href="http://www.carnegiedeli.com/home.php" style="color: #eecc67; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">Carnegie Deli</a> where I got a corned beef sandwich and Steve got Pastrami; we shared the two. I can tell you I only finished one half. It was unreal. That night we got tickets to see <i>Avenue Q</i> for a great price. We had dinner at a Louisiana style restaurant called Delta Grill. The next day, we had dim sum in Chinatown at The Golden Unicorn and walked around Chinatown and Little Italy. Next we went to <a href="http://www.dylanscandybar.com/" style="color: #eecc67; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank"> Dylan's Candy Bar</a> to buy some candy for our families. We then were going to go to <a href="http://www.serendipity3.com/" style="color: #eecc67; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">Serendipity</a> for frozen hot chocolate but they had a 3 hour wait and it was starting to rain, so we walked back to Dylan's and shared a HUGE ice cream sundae. That night we had tickets to see <i>Wicked</i>, so we went back, did some shopping and then got ready to see the show. We had reservations for an amazing steak dinner at <a href="http://www.e2hospitality.com/blt-steak-new-york/" style="color: #eecc67; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">BLT Steak</a>, but I didn't think it was classy to take a picture of my $40 steak. Of course, before we left we had bagels. It wouldn't be a trip to NY without them.</div>

Last year Airtran was having one of their crazy air travel sales and some friends from work and I decided we only live once, let's go to NOLA (pre YOLO). We had a blast. NOLA is so full of food options but we were all kinda poor. We had beignets at <a href="http://www.cafedumonde.com/" style="color: #eecc67; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">Cafe Du Monde</a> which I learned do wonders for a hangover after spending the night before out on Bourbon Street (also I realized two posts back to back talk about hangovers - it's really NOT a habitual thing for me). We also walked around some shopping areas, went to Jackson Square, and just really took in the French Quarter. It was amazing. We had some fabulous Po'Boys at Johnny's and then had some fancy schmancy dinner that night. Fact - head cheese is ground up pig head, no cheese is involved (in the back of my mind, I knew that, but forgot, so when we ordered it, it all came back to me and I was really embarrassed). Also, I recommend <a href="http://www.courtoftwosisters.com/" style="color: #eecc67; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">The Court of Two Sisters</a> for brunch. It's pricy but the best brunch buffet I've EVER had. That rounded out our exciting weekend in NOLA. I told Steve we have to go back together.</div>

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, Utopia, 'Palatino Linotype', Palatino, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">My family and I went to Boynton Beach to clear out my great aunt's apartment after she passed away. It was hard going to through a lot of those memories and saying good bye - but it was nice to be with family and share that. Of course, my parents have the same food obsession I do - so we made what we could of it by having a few delicious meals. We went to </span><a href="http://brooklynwaterbagel.com/" style="background-color: white; color: #eecc67; font-family: Georgia, Utopia, 'Palatino Linotype', Palatino, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">The Original Brooklyn Water Bagel Co. </a><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, Utopia, 'Palatino Linotype', Palatino, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">while we were there. The bagels are amazing - like you're right in NYC having them. They treat the water so it is similar to that of NYC water. They also serve iced coffee with coffee ice cubes - how Pinterest of them. We also went out for Mother's Day to </span><a href="http://www.abeandlouies.com/" style="background-color: white; color: #eecc67; font-family: Georgia, Utopia, 'Palatino Linotype', Palatino, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">Abe & Louie's</a><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, Utopia, 'Palatino Linotype', Palatino, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"> - an amazing steak house. Again, I only remembered to take a picture of the seafood tower and dessert. The seafood tower was delicious and impressive! The cheesecake is shipped from Junior's in NYC. So delicious.</span><br />

The past two years we've gone on vacation to Seabrook Island with Steve's family. We have spent one or two of those days in Charleston, SC. We like to go to the Old City Market, walk around and shop. The first year we were there, we went to Hominy Grill - because it was featured on <i>Best Thing I Ever Ate</i> for the grits and the chocolate pudding. Oh. My. God. The grits were great - so delicious, but the chocolate pudding - oh my God, the chocolate pudding. Get it. Just do it. It is SO good. It's thick and chocolatey and velvety - it's so rich, we share it. Get it, for real. </div>

When Steve lived in DC, we waited about 20 minutes to get some cupcake from Georgetown Cupcakes. It was 100% worth it. We got 1 strawberry, 2 double chocolate, 1 mint chocolate, 1 red velvet, and 1 vanilla. UPDATE: Now that he lives there full time I can't wait to move so I can get some again!</div>

So there are a few of our food adventures. Some of them get posted on here periodically as they happen. I know I overly used the word "delicious." I'm sure it was a little out of control. I hope it gave you ideas of places to go on your travels and even if you don't love to plan out your vacation with mandatory food trips. What's your favorite place you've eaten on vacation? Any go to places? </div>

<br />
No? Well I did, <b>almost</b>.<br />
<br />
I have never been so scared.<br />
<br />
Now I'm trusting you all because this is truth time. I think we all make mistakes in life, and we grown and learn from them. I can tell you this was in the top 5 the dumbest mistakes I've ever made in my entire life. <br />
<br />
I think we can agree if you are a member of a sorority, attended college, or just live life in general you've probably made some questionable decisions.<br />
<br />
Faces are covered to protect the innocent :-). <br />

<br />
<br />
I mean, a lot of questionable decisions. Like things not pictured in these pub crawl pictures and Big/Little night pictures. . .<br />
<br />
Maybe not. Maybe you're responsible. . .<br />
<br />
Honestly, I didn't even make that many wild decisions. I had my RA job, was involved in a lot of different organizations, and so forth. For some reason, this night, I just had this terrible idea. . . <br />
<br />
Anyway, we had philanthropy weeks in undergrad. Each fraternity and sorority had a week where they hosted different events and competitions to raise money for their organization's philanthropy. In the fraternity weeks, the sororities would compete and vice versa. They were a ton of fun but also SUPER competitive. When it was your organization's week you could sign up to "coach" a team from one of the fraternities. I had coached one team before, then my senior year, I decided to coach a team again, and got to coach our Sigma Chi team. One of the events our sorority held was a chariot race. The teams had to make a chariot and race using it. We were struggling to come up with something so my fellow coaches and I decided "oh, let's borrow a shopping cart from a store parking lot, and then return it the next day."<br />
<br />
<b>Key mistake number one.</b><br />
<br />
So two of my sorority sisters who were my fellow coaches and I decided to take my teal Ford Taurus hatchback to the Kmart parking lot and grab a shopping cart. We waited until it was dark so we wouldn't be caught. We successfully got it in the car, rearranged the seating, and pulled out of the parking lot. I started driving down the road when I realized a cop was following me. I decided to take a turn and try to avoid the officer.<br />
<br />
<b>Key mistake number two.</b><br />
<br />
At this point we were all super paranoid. We were wondering if we could be arrested, where do we go? Is he even actually following us? Can you just slowly out drive the cop? I realized when I turned right that I had made an amateur mistake. I had turned my headlights off in the Kmart parking lot in order to be less noticeable when we were stealing the cart. When I pulled out of the parking lot, <b>I forgot to turn my lights back ON because the area we were in was so well lit.</b><br />
<br />
<b>Key mistake number three.</b><br />
<br />
The cop turned his lights on and pulled us over. We were<b> FREAKING </b>out. The officer came over to the car. We had the typical exchange asking for license and registration. The officer asked if we knew why he pulled us over. I told him I just realized our lights were off. I said we had left Sheetz and the lights were so bright in the parking lot I didn't realize my lights were off. I don't know how I came up with that BS story so fast. He asked why we turned off the road over to this dead end street (whoops, poor street choice). I explained that we were looking for a safe place to turn around to go back to Sheetz because we forgot to get a milkshake for our friend. Mind you, he still hasn't mentioned the kart in the back of the car, but low and behold, now he did. <br />
<br />
He asked where the cart came from. I told him Kmart, we were going to borrow it for the day, then return it. Also, at this point one of my friends is sitting backwards, holding the cart, without a seat belt. Then he dropped the bomb "Have you ever heard of petty larceny?" <b>OH SHIT</b>. I told him we were just borrowing it profusely and started to get upset but somehow stayed calm and sweet on the outside. Seriously, someone was watching over me this day. He went back to his car. While he was there I was freaking out thinking "I just got in to grad school, my life is over." My stomach was in knots. I felt like I was going to throw up. My friends were freaking out. I texted my Little who was also our sorority president at the time so if I went to jail at least she could help me or know where the hell I was. After what seemed like an eternity the officer came back to the car and said:<br />
<br />
"Okay, if you return the cart to Kmart and go back to campus, I wont' give you a ticket or arrest you. If you want to borrow the cart, why don't you ask Kmart in the morning?"<br />
<br />
I have <b>NEVER</b> been so relieved. I thanked him a million times. We took the cart back <b>IMMEDIATELY</b> and went straight back. I really thought I was going to jail for stealing that cart. We all did. In case you were wondering, somehow our team came up with something for the chariot race. <br />
<br />
<b>Things I learned: </b><br />
<br />
1. When trying to do something secretive, make sure you're inconspicuous and following the rules. <br />
2. Officers can be nice and don't always give you tickets<br />
3. Sometimes the worst situations turn out okay<br />
4. Don't commit crimes<br />
5. Bad life choices are a part of college and life in general<br />
<br />
What a lesson learned, but it makes for great stories!<br />
<br />
I hope you don't judge me too much now and that you got a good laugh out of the story.<br />

I confess that I ate four bunny Peeps the other day. My parents and younger brothers surprised me with a quick visit on their way back to Pennsylvania from Valdosta on Monday where they were visiting my brother and new nephew. We had dinner and hung out and they left the next morning. They brought me peeps and a chocolate bunny!! <br />

I confess that I finally decided to do that thing to my phone where I make the apps and background all crazy girly. I'm not sure how its going to turn out. I kept going back and forth on this decision. Has anyone else done this??<br />
<br />
I confess that all my friends with puppies make me jealous. I don't have baby fever I have puppy fever. <br />
<br />
I confess that for the past 4 days I've been eating ever carb and dessert I can. What is wrong with me?<br />
<br />
I confess that I was looking at the amount of weddings we have coming up this year and when they are and got nervous about all the gifts and travel expenses especially with the fact that I am still looking for a job in the DC area. They are mostly family weddings, too. This deadline of June is creeping up way too fast for me and the struggle is getting real.<br />

I have a lazy weekend ahead but it is T-minus 8 days until Steve is here for a 4 day visit and I can't wait! Friday took way too long this week!<br />
<br />
<br />
Also - Happy Birthday to my good friend JULIE! We've been friends since high school, used to plan our fake futures in AP Euro and on AIM freshman year of college (more on that later). <br />

I always lost.<br />
I think my friends did it intentionally.<br />
<br />
Being in a sorority we played Never Have I Ever many nights, I lost almost every time. The worst was when we played and you have to take a drink because YOU did it but then EVERYONE would make you TELL the embarrassing and awkward story connected to it. Today I'm linking up with <a href="http://www.backeastblonde.com/">Nadine</a>, <a href="http://heavenstomeighan.blogspot.com/">Meighan</a>, and <a href="http://keepingupwiththecyperts.blogspot.com/">Whitney</a> for what promises to be a more fun game of Never Have I Ever. At least it won't end up in me being wasted spilling embarrassing secrets like games of the past.<br />
<br />

<br />
So let's see what I can think of when it comes to things I HAVEN'T done.<br />
<br />
1. <b style="background-color: #d5a6bd;">Never Have I Ever</b> <b>liked eating a banana.</b> I can eat it sliced on toast but that's about it. The texture of a whole banana makes me gag. It's the same way with watermelon. I'm weird. Sorry I'm not sorry.<br />
<br />
2. <b style="background-color: #d5a6bd;">Never Have I Ever</b> <b>payed rent</b>. Well, I guess I "technically" pay rent now because we pay rent for Steve's apartment, but I don't live there so it doesn't count. Hear me out: I lived in a residence hall freshman year of college, was an RA every year after that, was a Residence Director in Grad School which meant I lived in an apartment in the residence hall as part of my compensation, and now I live in an apartment in a residence hall as a Residence Life Coordinator. Basically, I have lived on a college campus for 8 years. That is insane.<br />
<br />
3. <b style="background-color: #d5a6bd;">Never Have I Ever</b> <b>gotten my bra size officially checked.</b> I mean I've done it on my own with measuring tape but you know those fancy boutiques where they check you and tell you your real bra size which is normally<b> totally different </b>than what you buy at Victoria's Secret? <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisHtKTrMwb55XkLG-KlpWCNmqvwS7kznD0neyn-6BOb_T_vPJt_RY19vZCYRhPwqdRGc512fobQX7R3CRo5NvC-Gp5YG8FQ8i7a3bB-4qAkpg93-3Fto7P787-AbXiuAEzyounyBHjxa8/s1600/pumpkin.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisHtKTrMwb55XkLG-KlpWCNmqvwS7kznD0neyn-6BOb_T_vPJt_RY19vZCYRhPwqdRGc512fobQX7R3CRo5NvC-Gp5YG8FQ8i7a3bB-4qAkpg93-3Fto7P787-AbXiuAEzyounyBHjxa8/s1600/pumpkin.jpg" /></a></div>
<br />
Yeah, never been to one of those. I mean I'm busty, so I probably should, and I have issues with my shoulders, so yeah I probably should but I haven't. (Also, I think Victoria's Secret bras are over priced for how long they last and refuse to buy lingerie from them. I've found much more substantial bras for their price that last a lot longer).<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://s1173.photobucket.com/user/Jeannette_Holian/media/boobs_zpscdd456be.gif.html" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo boobs_zpscdd456be.gif" border="0" src="http://i1173.photobucket.com/albums/r594/Jeannette_Holian/boobs_zpscdd456be.gif" /></a>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
4. <b style="background-color: #d5a6bd;">Never Have I Ever</b> <b>liked Taylor Swift.</b> I'm sorry. The first time I heard of her, I saw her sing live on a Christmas special I was watching because Josh Groban was performing. She was flat and terrible. I also think her song <i>Love Story</i> just shows that she didn't really understand the contexts of the references she's making. Please make educated allusions in your music that make sense, we already have a problem with education in this country. Also, her serial dating drives me nuts. I'm sorry, I just can't. I don't like her. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyj3nECGjU2zCIJhs-7uHCfv3-4-0hELBUfLuwH948Tsd8i440V1MGwaWQKIgUwEc-Cuc3JjYOZ9XG6fq2V5zlN5xM63R82wOH_14eF7WSdO9wqRt3fWBoFbm2SONOqPQhFej2ipJcnws/s1600/taylor-swift-and-meme.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyj3nECGjU2zCIJhs-7uHCfv3-4-0hELBUfLuwH948Tsd8i440V1MGwaWQKIgUwEc-Cuc3JjYOZ9XG6fq2V5zlN5xM63R82wOH_14eF7WSdO9wqRt3fWBoFbm2SONOqPQhFej2ipJcnws/s640/taylor-swift-and-meme.jpg" width="496" /></a></div>
<br />
I could write a whole post on this but I'd just make a lot of people angry. <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/08/23/taylor-swift-crashed-kennedy-wedding-confirms-kathie-lee-gifford_n_1825621.html">This story</a> was the icing on the cake, though.<br />
Okay I like her song from <i>The Hunger Games</i>. I can give her that one.<br />
I know, I'm mean, I'm terrible.<br />
<br />

</div>
<br />
<br />
5. <b style="background-color: #d5a6bd;">Never Have I Ever</b> <b>hated any of my jobs</b>. Sure I had jobs that weren't great and moments where I was so over every one, but every job I've had has had some perks and fun aspects to them. Maybe it's my positivity coming out but I learned a lot from every job I've had. I've even learned "You know I don't want to do this job forever but it's okay for right now" which is a victory in itself. This includes when I worked at CVS and Pizza Hut in high school.<br />
<br />
<br />
Whew! Well, did you make it through mine sober? I bet some of them tripped you up! Can't wait to link up again!<br />

My mom taught it to him when he was wrestling because hot sauce and seasoning is a great way to give food a lot of flavor without adding a ton of calories. Then, he actually taught it to me. I prefer to make it on the George Foreman grill, but Steve has it in DC right now, however you can totally make it in a non-stick pan. I'm going to teach you the secret to this delicious spicy chicken.<br />
It's super easy when you have a craving for wings but are trying to watch what you eat.<br />
I mean it's so easy it's ridiculous. A 15 year old boy used to make this. <br />
<br />
Things you need:<br />
1. Chicken breast<br />
2. Frank's Red Hot sauce (or any buffalo style sauce you like)<br />
3. Kosher Salt<br />
4. Citrus Grill Seasoning (this is KEY, go buy it - It is good on EVERYTHING I use it on Salmon all the time)<br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><b> Step one: </b></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Spray your non-stick pan (sorry my stove is dirty). Turn your burner to medium/medium high heat</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b> Step Two: </b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Season the chicken breast with the citrus grill and salt to taste. Put the chicken in the pan.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhS0KZMu_Ap9SrwmLmEJyrilSHsZ0shgRs6dWszyaaRLJ7AL8Yns2yf33siIoecJic0N1UH2ij_1_hh4jFlQpBQInAqfF4Nb85CTxRtSmzGXu3NPYHDr2mKRxeJz0JTJZ89cGkU3V2t1cQ/s1600/IMG_2070.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhS0KZMu_Ap9SrwmLmEJyrilSHsZ0shgRs6dWszyaaRLJ7AL8Yns2yf33siIoecJic0N1UH2ij_1_hh4jFlQpBQInAqfF4Nb85CTxRtSmzGXu3NPYHDr2mKRxeJz0JTJZ89cGkU3V2t1cQ/s400/IMG_2070.jpg" width="298" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b> Step Three: </b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Coat the chicken in Frank's and flip it over immediately. You can go easy on the amount if you don't like it super hot. Cook the chicken until it starts to brown a little then flip it over and coat the other side. Allow that side to cook until the chicken has browned. At this point, you'll keep flipping and re-coating the chicken in hot sauce until it is done (reaching 170 degrees F).</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b> Step Four:</b></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b> </b> When the chicken is done, take it out of the pan. Let it sit for about 2 minutes and then serve with sides like a fruit salad, cut it up and top a salad, or put it on a bun and eat it as sandwich. Steve's favorite way is on a bun with cheddar cheese and ranch, of course. I like to put it on top of a salad with light ranch or light blue cheese dressing. (I also sprinkle a little Franks on the salad so I'll use less dressing.</div>

I have been buying frozen Jimmy Dean breakfast sandwiches - you know the ones with fewer than 300 calories, but for this and next week I decided to make my own with multigrain english muffins and turkey bacon then freeze them. I'll know how they turned out later this week. Making the eggs the right size was a challenge. I guess I should invest in an egg ring. </div>

I'm going to warn you, this is a hodge podge of a post. I mean, it's really going to jump around. <br />
That's what i get for not posting for a week!<br />
I promise I have lots of great posts planned.<br />
<br />
I've been working the most bizarre hours. If you know a little about me, you know I work in Residence Life and I live in a residence hall. Recently people have been going crazy and vandalizing one of the floors, so I've been sitting up there from 12am to 4am. I'm over the immature behavior effecting the residents who live there and decided I'll just babysit the hall. I have a great boss that lets me make my work hours more flexible since I'm sitting up thre, but it's still exhausting, and I still have a lot to get done during the day.<br />
This is my excuse for not posting for like a week. Enough about that.<br />
<br />
Last weekend I went out for a friend's brithday! It was a blast.<br />

We went to a restaurant in Atlanta and then went dancing after, we got back at 2am and then I had to be up at 6:30am to get ready and head to Valdosta (about a 3.5 hour drive). My younger sister, Nicole was in a play, <i>James and the Giant Peach</i>, and it was her last weekend performing so I got to seeher in it and spend some time with her, and our brother, Alex, my stepmom, Anita.<br />
<br />

<br />
I also got to see my other brother, TJ and have brunch with my dad. This sounds kind of confusing so let me explain. I'm from one of those his, mine, ours, families.<br />
<br />
My parents had me, my brother TJ, and my brother John.<br />
My mom married Rodney, my step dad who has a son, Ted, and then they have two boys together Michael and Daniel.<br />
My dad married Anita, my step mom and had Nicole and Alex.<br />
<br />
My brother TJ and his girlfriend just had a baby on Monday. He is adorable! His name is Hudson and I can't wait to meet him!<br />
<br />
I'm sorry this pictures aren't so great. I keep forgetting to bring my camera, which is much better than my phone. <br />
<br />
I am totally caught up on <i>Mad Men </i>and I can't wait for the new season to start next weekend! It looks like Betty Draper won her battle with her weight!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrJ-A23hKaUXoYn5wwBBT7KraZguwzJS1fAvWdrktloNNob1WJGdfCCP2RAJ_n36osgA0rTY0Z0K7Wcfpm0SAGkw59Z88itIK-Twrar8NdWIRWxg_2MNIrcwm5DJHlRWE-GT28lDtwGQk/s1600/madmen6.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrJ-A23hKaUXoYn5wwBBT7KraZguwzJS1fAvWdrktloNNob1WJGdfCCP2RAJ_n36osgA0rTY0Z0K7Wcfpm0SAGkw59Z88itIK-Twrar8NdWIRWxg_2MNIrcwm5DJHlRWE-GT28lDtwGQk/s640/madmen6.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>

<br />
(Fun fact, Jon Hamm won't wear underwear with his outfits and it was big drama on the set, I won't post the picture here, because it's graphic, but you can clearly see "little Jon Hamm" through his pants. Google it. You'll see why they demanded the underwear. God bless Jon Hamm.)<br />
<br />
I also started watching <i>Bates Motel</i>, I'm not sure how I feel about it yet. There are all these scary TV shows now - <i>Hannibal</i> is coming to NBC and then there is <i>The Following</i>. I'd potentially like to watch those, but I'm afraid I'll freak myself out. I couldn't watch Season 1 of <i>American Horror Story </i>on my own, I was okay with Season 2, though. I love scary movies and thrilling TV shows, but then every little bump or knock in my apartment totally freaks me out. I'm convinced that someone is waiting to murder me. <br />
<br />
Last night I watched our students perform <i>The Vagina Monologues</i>. No matter how many times I see the different monologues performed, it is always so moving. <br />
<br />
I'm still in the midst of job searching, and the closer I get to May the more nervous I get. I know stuff will open in my field and that I just have to keep trying. I hate uncertainty. Can't I just have a brief glimpse? Please?<br />
<br />
I hope everyone has had a great week!<br />

Happy Friday! Linking up with <a href="http://www.blondeambitionblog.com/p/about_6.html">Leslie</a> at <a href="http://www.blondeambitionblog.com/">A Blonde Ambition</a> again for <a href="http://jeannettewith2ns.blogspot.com/2013/03/confessional-friday.html">Confessional Friday</a>.<br />
<br />
<br />
1. I confess that I haven't been doing so well at my whole make up make over. Remember how I was going to wear less makeup? Yep, that didn't happen. I mean I'm not wearing like 3 colors on my eyes anymore, I have one all over shade and darken the corners a little bit which is less than I was wearing before, but I'm still putting on foundation, concealer, bronzer, eye shadow, eye liner, mascara, and filling in my eyebrows. My routine is going a little faster and I'm using less foundation so all in all less make up isn't my thing.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
2. I confess that I'm going out tonight for a friends birthday and I bought a new dress at Target. I'm a little low on spending money this month but I decided I'd rather not eat than buy this dress. This is the first time I've ever decided that. I used to wonder how women picked fashion over food. . . I get it when it's the right dress. I got a great dress and a great necklace. Obviously things I can wear again.<br />
<br />
3. I confess that I've been cheating on my diet with these chocolate covered potato chips. I'm sorry, I'm trying to only have like 2 per day but they are so good. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
4. I confess that when I shop alone, I talk to myself in my head like I'm Rachel Zoe. I say things like "Oh, I love a good chambray!" "Bah-nanas," and "Look at that peplum. OBSESSED!" It's kind of ridiculous.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://s1173.photobucket.com/user/Jeannette_Holian/media/rachelzoe_zps44101f1a.gif.html" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo rachelzoe_zps44101f1a.gif" border="0" src="http://i1173.photobucket.com/albums/r594/Jeannette_Holian/rachelzoe_zps44101f1a.gif" /></a><br />
<br />
5. I confess, well, okay, this one is embarrassing. I was hard boiling eggs the other day and I heard this weird chirping. I SWORE it was coming from one of the eggs. The water was just warm. I mean deep down I KNEW there wansn't a baby bird in that egg that was still alive. However, leave it to me not to think<i> "Oh hey, these have been refrigerated, I'm sure if there were a baby bird in the egg it would be dead, <b>not </b> <b>chirping</b>." </i>I swore I was going to cut one open and find a dead baby bird I could have saved. Nope. Eggs were all clear. I'm just crazy.<br />
<br />

Honestly, I don't know how it gets so messy (and it was a lot worse than it looks in the pictures). I don't go all crazy and throw things around, I guess I just have too much going on at once and such at making open files on my desk. I feel like no matter what I title them, some things just don't fit into them. I made some progress! I still need to vacuum and take out the recycling box but it' s huge improvement!<br />
<br />
Now if I could just get the urge to do this in my bedroom and dining room/living room. <br />
<br />
AHHHH SO much better! I even organized my pen cups. <br />
<br />
Here is the tangerine nail polish I was talking about the other day:<br />

It's OPI - if anyone has any idea what color it is, please, tell me! <br />
I tried to do a gold fleck ombre thing on the ring finger. It looks better in person, and in the sun. It adds a little sumthin'.<br />
<br />
I went for a run today in the rain. I LOVED IT. I used to use rain as an excuse NOT to work out outside (like oh it's raining God says take the day off!). Also, I really didn't have a good ran jacket.<br />
I got this great waterproof rain jacket (Trail Model Rain Jacket in Dark Royal Blue) from L.L. Bean from my mother-in-law for Christmas - it kept me TOTALLY dry.<br />

I mean except where I sweated and my legs which were totally wet. SO after my run, I was drinking water out of my nalgene, totally dry, and you know that <a href="http://www.myxer.com/video/id/900112/borninboston777/YouTube-Demetri-Martin-Straws-and-Ice-official-video/">Demetri Martin joke</a> about ice attacking you when you drink? Well, it happened. Water ALL over my shirt. Not a good look. After all that keeping myself dry, too! See it?<br />

Okay last thing. I'm all about Greek yogurt, although I kind of stopped eating it for a while. I was all over the Chobani with fruit in it and my husband always loved the Liberte kind. Well, I decided to try the Liberte Coconut flavor: OH MY GOD I am CONVERTED. </div>

This tastes like the beach. Well no it doesn't taste like sand or saltwater - it tastes like coconut, like it's supposed too? Any way - it is DELICIOUS. If you like coconut, BUY IT. I'm thinking about cutting up pineapple and putting some in next time I have this yogurt. OBSESSED. </div>

Sorry, I forgot to take a picture, but the recipe is pinned on my Pinterest page, which you can visit by clicking above. Last year Steve and I watched <i>United States of Tara</i> (if you haven't watched it, do, the whole show is on Netflix and it's amazing) and I tried to recreate my mom's corned beef and cabbage. </span></span><br />

I confess that I was so </span></span><span style="line-height: 18px;">obsessed</span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 18px;"> with </span></span><i style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 18px;">House of Cards</i><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 18px;"> on Netflix I finished it in like 3 days. Seriously, if you haven't watched it, do it NOW. If you don't have Netflix, it's worth the subscription to watch it. I am now </span></span><span style="line-height: 18px;">re-watching</span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 18px;"> </span></span><i style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 18px;">Lost</i><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 18px;"> from </span></span><span style="line-height: 18px;">beginning</span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 18px;"> to end. Around Season 4 or 5 I got annoyed and boycotted it until I could just watch the whole thing and get answers. The last episode I remember involved time travel and a bomb. I'm currently on Season 2.</span></span></span><br />

I confess that with the sun coming out, I'm dying to get a tan. I am naturally the color of a marshmallow. This weekend, I will be purchasing some Jergen's Natural Glow and maybe another product to speed the fauxbronze along.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 18px;">5.) I confess that I love and hate my new running/work out. When I say running, I mean alternating walking, jogging, and a few <b>short</b> bursts of actual running. I love that I'm not getting up early and I'm normally pretty motivated after work, BUT I'm hating how lazy I am afterwards. Seriously, I just put on my pajamas, have dinner, and sit on the couch (and probably watch <i>Lost</i>) until 10pm when I finally go to bed.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 18px;">6.) I confess that I'm trying to wear less make up every day. I usually put on a full face (more to come on that). It's a weird adjustment, but we'll see how that goes. It wasn't that stellar this week, to be honest. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 18px;">7.) I confess that when Steve left, he left shampoo and body wash here. On the weekends, when I know I'm probably not leaving the house, I totally use it so I can smell like him - well, kind of.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 18px;">With all of that TGIF! I can't wait to do a whole lotta nuthin' this weekend. <b> </b></span></span><br />

Well I did it for a couple of reasons!<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
1. I want to be more free about what I post, and <a href="http://alwaysjeannette.blogspot.com/">Always, Jeannette</a> was attached to my personal email so it was connected to my last name, and other things. I wanted my blog to be free from that so I can be even more honest than I already am.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
2. The name: I was never sold on the name of it, and to be honest, I've seen other blogs with a similar name and it fits them better (you know, some sort of salutation, or closing, or post script) but I didn't feel connected to it. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Why is the new name Jeannette With Two Ns? </div>
<div>
If you have a name like mine, often people spell it wrong, pronounce it wrong, argue with you about how to pronounce it (yeah, that happened), and more. I feel like I'm constantly saying this about my name, and it kind of became how I introduce myself when people need to take down my name "Hi, I'm Jeannette, with two Ns." It kind of became a part of my identity. Also, no, it's not wrong. If I put two N's it would mean N is possessive and here N is plural so not having an apostrophe is correct. Thank you, 7th grade English. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Bloggers out there might think I'm crazy, now I have to build a new following (hopefully my followers switch over with me!!). Maybe bring back old posts? It might be a little bit of a hassle, but to me it's worth it.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I hope you continue to follow me and my adventures through this blog. I'll leave "Always, Jeannette" up for a while in case people get lost.<br />
