Hello All!!
I figured that it has been some time since I last blogged, but I guess thats what happens when your fiance comes over to hang with you for a few weeks. Yes, Jassen is still here and has been here for a week today. It's crazy how fast the time has flown, but it has also been taken up with 3 days of working @ da Barnes.
In exciting "Jen News", I got two of my student loans consolidated, so now I have a lower monthly for 4 years and then it will go up after that for 16. It's a 20 year loan, but its managable, which is exciting. I mean, now it will be easier to make the dough for plane tickets, christmas presents and wedding tings.*sighs* What a relief!
Jassen and I have been on the hunt for wedding rings. We were lazy and didnt take a picture of it, but the design is rather nice, simple, but we will look on for other designs before we make a final decision on it. All will be revealed in good time.
Yesterday, we went to a place called Simon Sez, which was a Gyros place, had two pitas total with the meat and fries. It was rather good and nummy and it was tempting to keep on eating it past the "overstuffing my face and Im going to explode in 10 seconds" phase, but I resisted.:-/
Later, we came back home and pretty much chilled the rest of the evening, watching Survivor, Gray's Anatomy, and part of That 70s Show. We then crashed(sleepingwise) and woke up a little after 8ish in the morning.
I am getting rather good at making expresso coffee with froth(sp), so that's niffy and will be awesome when Jassen and I entertain guests at our hypothetical and future "place of our own". I am having my mom make some meatloaf later, so soon, We are heading out to the store to get the grub and stuff. I was hoping to make some sloppy joes sometime, but that might have to wait until tomorrow....Mmmmm Sloppy joes.
Anywho, yea....I think today Jassen, Nicole, and I will be going to the orchard to get some apples and pumpkins, so I look very forward to that. Alrightee dudes. Have a wonderful day!!!

Okay. Guess....
who is making there way over to see me for a few weeks??
JASSEN!!
He is in transit at the moment...the usual planes, trains, and automobiles and will be here in a matter of 12 hours. 12 hours, I will be seeing him cross over out from customs and into my arms for many hugs, kisses, and love. MUCHO EXCITEDO!!
It's strange not seeing a loved one for over a month or more. It's like you seem a bit different, cuz you have had time for yourselves(not so much wanted, but necessary for the time being)...you notice the things that you got use to, quirks and such that one another do...and for me, I love the fact that I think just how lucky and cute and what the hottie Jassen is when I see him. I miss him alot and I will try to sip this time slowly, cuz after this, we will have a 2+ month stretch of not being in each others company...at least until Christmas time.:-S
I know I will be keeping busy with work, cuz its going to pick up in the middle to end of November. As for other times between, I will, in my spare time, read as many books as I want, draw when I want, write when I want, and also work more in Adobe Illustrator, cuz its been some time and I dont want to get soooo rusty!:-p
I recently had my student loans consolidated, so im hoping that now it will be in smaller easier payments like it was suggested and that will help to make my life alot easier(at least for 4 years of payment before it goes up). That way it will be easier to make the money at work, have money towards plane flights to visit Jassen next year sometime as well money for wedding things. I really need to get out to some other places to try on other dresses, but so far, i think I have a winner of a pick...its a little pricey but I will buckle down so i can have that. So many other things to plan wedding wise, so I hope to get a few things coordinated and done while Jassen is available.
Tomorrow, a friend of both myself and my sister is having a bday party, so if Jassen is game, that might be whats on our plate. If not, we will definitely be having some kfc when we come back to Portage and then later on, my folks were talking about heading out for some dinner. FOOD OVERLOAD!! But maybe im just feeling a bit full still from tonights food.
My sister and I went out with our friend Karen to Applebees and I ended up getting this chicken fried chicken dish with some mashed potatoes as well as brocoli. For a drink, I had a mudslide, and then we split an appetizer which was a spinach artichoke thing, i believe and it was quite delish!! In total, my part of the bill was near 20. Damn,...i think Ill restrain myself more next time. A bit pricey for my budget.:-S
Alright...well, Im on the 3rd book of the Narnia series, which is The Horse and his Boy, which is quite good, so in order to lull me into better REM sleep, that's what Im planning to read for the time being.
Hope all is well with you all and have a lovely night!

Can you tell me how...
to get...how to get to sesame streeeet...
So, today about an hour into Roscoe Orman doing signing for his new book, Sesame Street Dad, a memoir, I went up to him with a fellow co-worker. Holly then was told she would need to purchase the book before he could sign in it. There I was, by my lonesome, so I said to him:
'I just wanted to thank you for being a positive influence in my life, growing up'
I automatically started tearing up and said, 'Sorry, im a bit of a crybaby':-p
He said, "Aww...come here."
He then got up and gave me an official "sesame street hug". You'd know what I mean, if you watched it as a kid.;-)
He then asked what my name was and I replied, 'Jennifer'. He then told me that he liked the area and remembers when southlake mall was around(now its changed names, etc.) He then asked if I liked working at Barnes & Noble, and I said...
'Why..it's a positive environment! I like it alot.'
He then said something along the lines that books are wonderful and I agreed.
HE IS A REALLY NICE GUY!!!
He thank me for the pleasure of my introduction and I went on with my work day. I was working in the kid's section of Barnes today, so it was a bit funny that it had a similar theme to the day. My legs are ACHING, so I will probably soak a bit later on. *sighs*
4 and 1/2 days until Jassen is here!!! Let the good times roll!!!
:-)

Today...
hmm....Today....I will be heading to work for more or less 7 hours.
I am working in the kiddies section, so it will be nice to get familar with it again.
I'm a bit nervous cuz Im a nerd and want to find books people are looking for but sometimes there are so many books, etc. in a small area that this can be a bit time consuming...*sighs*
Also, the guy that plays Gordon Robinson on Sesame Street is doing a book signing from 1-3pm today, so that will be exciting to have someone that was quite influential in my small life not terribly long ago(being a child of the 80s).:-p He has a book entitled "Sesame Street Dad" and its a memoir of his. I am tempted to get it as so I can read it and get it signed. We shall see.:-p
Today should be a good day.
Having my expresso before I head out, so I think that will help propel my natural nervous energy into space.:-S:-p
Hope all is well!

Enter:
Fall.
Smell of burning leaves,
spine-chilled breezes,
with the sun sprinkling down,
its rays upon the ground
Warm drinks
apple cider dreams
and cookies being sampled
at the local orchard
Apples falling down
soured when they hit the ground
and pumpkins
awaiting their annual carve
Witches and ghouls on the prowl
costumes to be worn sooner than later
and the gobbling of turkey with dressings
to boot will be plenty on plates before us
and family surrounds
a warm glow
inside my heart
proverbial but seemingly
more real than physical
love is the transition
and fall...
it's upon us
the wind that hits my face
is the bird of this wisdom
*sighs*

It's kinda funny..
the things one learns about one's self over the course of time.
Lately and as recent as...well,today, Ive been organizing my papers which consisted of poetry and words, journalish entries and dreams. I was quite taken aback the dedication I had from about 96/97- to about 2000/01 with writing down my dreams. So, its kinda funny to see what was on my mind at the time.
As for the writings and journaling, i feel like ive come upon somewhat of a freshly organized graveyard, in which all the graves are still open and need dirt to throw on top of it. Looking back, I am starting to recognize and label the phases of both positive and negative that Ive gone through, obsessions of the week, month, or year....and even own personal truths that have now come to light and are being tested for durability.
I have sincerely changed so much over the course of a few years. It also makes me feel so special to have Jassen in my life. He has been such a positive moving force, even if sometimes I dont realize it, but he sheds light on things that deserve to be spotlighted, either be it something that needs to be addressed, or highlighting the fact that I am an awesome person in this walk of life(most of the time:-p).
It was Jassen that pushed me to have a blog. Even before the blog craze, he pushed me and coaxed me into the idea that I should get my thoughts and feelings onto paper. I had been out of practice with the journaling a bit, when we first met, so it was nice to have that reinforcement and intial momentum to do something about all of these things rolling around in my head. I do feel as though my mind has becoming more clear...as time marches on.
Today, even if it might take me a few weeks to process, was a landmark of a day. I wont comment too much on the matter, but I am realizing my positiveness and potential for it, every waking day...and its a lovely feeling. Im enjoying the fact that I am working at Barnes, which is a positive environment and I look forward to working when I do. I love the interactions with people. It's what I crave, its what I seek and desire out of life.....and how precious each interaction is.
I dont want to come off as fake sometimes, that is one of my main worries, but when I say things to people...either things of encouragement, recommendations, life, lessons, love, etc...I hope I am taken in on a sincere note.
I am finding my peace of mind, within myself. It's like I am actually slowing down to hear myself think. Logic becomes untwisted. I am realizing the faults of elders, its not something I should be shouldering. My views and perspectives....they are mine, no one elses....and that is something to cherish.
Dont get me wrong, I often think of death and losing loved ones around me, but I feel like there is a change in the air.....and even if this feeling only lasts a day, maybe two, a week, month, year, decades, I will never forget this transition.....Im beginning to trust myself....and that's a very beautiful thing.
I do and am looking forward to my life with Jassen. It's exciting and wonderful to think about, it makes me happy and my legs ache to dance, and I sometimes feel like my heart could burst with joy, if it had the capacity to do so physically....what a way to die....I can see it now....Woman Dies, Her Heart Burst with Joy.....not an unhappy ending, eh?:-p(yes, im weird...so weird).
There is so much to us...so much beyond the physical...I feel it....i sense it....though sometimes, due to my airy and flighty nature, i crave grounding....and find myself so wrapped up in the human passion....that i feel more human than spirit, if that makes sense...oh the great balance.:-p
Life is like a big hunk of cheese....there is so much to eat in front of me, but eating too much can make you constipated.So, I need to take it as I feel hungry and eat it with yummy creme crackers, like Jacobs. Mmmm! Haha...this analogy was sooo much better in my head.:-/:-P
Hope all is well with you all!!

12 September 2001...
There has been a lot going on.
Yesterday, the twin world trade centers were hit by a Boeing 767 and the other collapsed at about the same time(the pentagon was slightly hit by a plane.)
Another plane hit in Somesby, Pittsburg.
My dad thinks that that particular plane was headed for the White House, so that guy that detoured it to Pittsburg was probably a hero.
Alot of the events that took place yesterday, slightly after 845am are so confusing. I was in tears to hear what was going on; children running from a schoolyard, people jumping out windows because they had no where to go, except certain death.
There will probably be a John Edward Crossing Ovver with the victims of the familes, sometime in the near future.
I let myself be open yesterday to what was going on and today I will focus on making passings easier on the people.
The name Elaine popped in my head.
I hope things will turn out for the best.
Security is being tightened around here, which is stupid, I think. They need to do things here at the university that is necessary.
Hmmm..absorption of what went on will never fully take place in my mind.
---------------------------------------------------------------
I must have been in shock cuz my grammar was a bit poor, me thinks. Hahaha!!
But yeah, like I said 5 years before, I will never fully take in what happened that day and I know I'm not suppose to.

It's been 5 years...
tomorrow, i will post something that i wrote 5 years ago about what i was feeling and what was going on in my mind.
There are so many tv specials on now about 9/11, im super sensitive, and tonight I was freaking out cuz Salty got loose on the roof and it took Jassen about an hour and a half along with the help of some fellow neighbours to coax him back into the house.
AHH!!!
Jassen will be visiting in 10 days and counting, so please send out positive vibes as he travels to me on the 22nd. I miss him so much, its not cool. I think I am sensitive to people and environments, etc....cuz it doesnt take much for me to be upset or happy at a drop of a hat for no reason. Like, Ill be driving back home from work and all of a sudden, its like a leech jumps and suckles on my blood on an emotional level. I really need to protect myself more spiritually...maybe.:-S

Mmm...hmmm....Sunday
It's sunday...Ive been working for, i believe it to be, 5 consecutive days. Today will be day 5, but I will only be working a matter of 3.5-4 hours. Tomorrow, Ill have a day off and Ill probably attempt to organize my poetry and writings. I have a huggggeee boxful in my room and Ive been trying to downsize things and think about what I will be transporting once I am in the UK on a more permenant basis.:-)
I have a buttload of books, its not even funny.HA.:-/
Other things, like clothes and such, I will slowly be taking over, since ill be visiting the UK at least 3 times next year, most likely. So, ill get as much as I can over during this time.
Exciting prospect!!
Alright...im out.
ta!

Dang! It's thursday...
already?
This week has flown by, which isnt a bad thing, being as I am working AND the day for Jassen to visit is drawing nearer. Just about 2 weeks!
I feel as though the weekend ahead will fly by. Not for certain, but Im going to be working, so it should float on by.
The one thing that I sometimes think about is this: We want to hurry to the weekends, but then when we enjoy ourselves, time flies, so its like push, push, push, weekend..flllllllllllllllllly.....and then the cycle starts over again. This is why I wouldnt be able to deal with a 9-5 job. I want to ENJOY the week that builds up to my weekend. I want to ENJOY my life and the in-betweens. So many people race towards the weekend. If we are struggling to get there, maybe we should analyze why we feel this way and realize that time is a very precious thang.
*sighs* GAWD...Im a hypocrite on many levels.

Since it's the talk...
or word on the street....Id like to say a few things about Steve Irwin.
Yes, he is better know(was) as the Croc hunter, dabbling on the edge and looking death square in the eyes.
Well in case you havent been clued in, he was killed by a stingray to the heart. I hope it wasnt too painful.:-S
I guess with his line of work, something like this was bound to happen. I wonder what he is thinking now?
DAMMIT! maybe..:-/
Anywho, yesterday I went in to work 6-9 and train a newbie who really has no worries so much on the training bit. Sure there are more things to learn, but i think she has a good handle on it. Well, I thought i was going to get off of work at 9, but I ended up closing and working to nearly 10. Ah well...mo money, which will be nice in the long or short run of matters.
Today Im working on the notorious labor day...and then of course, my mom had to remind me....JEN! Around this time back in 1980, you were conceived. Apparently it was on or around labor day weekend. Thanks mom and dad for that wonderful fact...so, HAPPY CONCEPTION DAY TO ME!!! So, I guess that means im really what...nearly 26? Hehehe
I am not one in believing that our souls are in the sperm that comes(pun intended) from our fathers..I mean, that would consider every guy you meet, SOULKEEPERS!!! Creeeepy.
Maybe the reason people dont remember being babies, is that they werent in their bodies yet?
I think I probably came in a few months or so, after being born....just maybe.:-p I do remember being a few months old, getting bathed, that sort of thing.
SO many different levels of awareness one goes through...take for instance, when I was 5...I knew it was my birthday, remember it clear as day, or when I had my girl thang for the first time....i was FREAKED!! kinda still am...but the concept that Im able to house a baby.....nurture it.....its pretty darn cool.
Less than 17 days until Jassen is here. W00t!! I am looking so forward to it that It makes me ill. I dont like it...being without him. It's natural for us to be together, so these times...I feel so ABNORMAL....well, even moreso than I already am.
Okies....*waits for Jassen's appearance online* I know that he went grocery shopping, but I hope to catch him online soon before I have to trek to work and well....work. I am quite enjoying being back in the working phase...and what i look forward in the future is being with Jassen, my kits, working, saving money, and accomplishing the goal of getting a mortgage together and start really living for ourselves....building our relationship to higher heights! CANT WAIT! but i guess I have to.
:-p
Yes, he is better know(was) as the Croc hunter, dabbling on the edge and looking death square in the eyes.
Well in case you havent been clued in, he was killed by a stingray to the heart. I hope it wasnt too painful.:-S
I guess with his line of work, something like this was bound to happen. I wonder what he is thinking now?
DAMMIT! maybe..:-/
Anywho, yesterday I went in to work 6-9 and train a newbie who really has no worries so much on the training bit. Sure there are more things to learn, but i think she has a good handle on it. Well, I thought i was going to get off of work at 9, but I ended up closing and working to nearly 10. Ah well...mo money, which will be nice in the long or short run of matters.
Today Im working on the notorious labor day...and then of course, my mom had to remind me....JEN! Around this time back in 1980, you were conceived. Apparently it was on or around labor day weekend. Thanks mom and dad for that wonderful fact...so, HAPPY CONCEPTION DAY TO ME!!! So, I guess that means im really what...nearly 26? Hehehe
I am not one in believing that our souls are in the sperm that comes(pun intended) from our fathers..I mean, that would consider every guy you meet, SOULKEEPERS!!! Creeeepy.

It's been...
some time, since I last blogged.
THis might be a long one, a short one, or a median one, in regards to how much I will put in it.
I am a bit unsure of its outcome, but we both shall see the end result. Man, I can talk alot of crap.:-S
This weekend,or rather Thursday-Saturday Morning, I drove 2.5 hours to visit my sister until saturday morning, and then drove 2.5 hours back, so Ive done a little bit of driving over the past few days. It was nice to see my sister. We didnt do much but chill majority of the time, which was nice, but her couch was not the most comfortable. I am extremely tired from the drive, since I drove right after I worked on thursday, and now, I am about 20 minutes from going to work until close. It's not that many hours that Im working, plus I get to customer service peeps, which is a nice gig, so it should be a nice night.
Ive had coffee twice today,....once while driving back and then again from Dunkin Donuts(a dunkacino). I havent had one of those in like....3 years, or at least since my college/uni years. It was a nice little blast from the past. Speaking of which,...
oh my
g-o-s-h!
There was a friend that i made while working at the university back in 2004. I was working at the library for the book move, books from the old library at school to the new one. So, while I was doing that gig, I made a friend named Katy. It was at that time in which i then went over to the UK for Glasto, met Jassen, connected, and now i am where i am, but during that time, I lost contact with Katy(probably August 2004). I had switched phones, lost her number and all that jazz, so I didnt know if I would ever see her again.
Well, I reconnected with another friend named Mary(from high school recently and out of the blue) and we decided to go and see Little Miss Sunshine one wednesday at a theatre that I normally dont go to. Mary and I were in two minds...either Indian food before the movie or after or not at all and save it for another time. Finally, we decided the latter and proceeded to the theatre. We pulled up in the parking lot, parked far from the front but still in front of it, if you get my drift. All of a sudden, I see a girl that looked AWFULLY familar....I told Mary hang on as I jumped out of the car....."DUDE!" I said to the girl...."OH MY GAWD!" said Katy. We hugged and come to find out, Katy lost my number as well as she accidentally woke up one day to find her phone in a glass of water.
I think she dozed off holding it and thats how it ended up that way. So, she was going to see snakes on a plane, not Little Miss Sunshine...and so happened to have forgotten her wallet in her car, hence why she was "randomly" outside at that time. If she hadnt come outside, we never would have realized that we were at the same theater at that time. Makes me wonder how often I am close to people that I havent seen in ages, if that does happen...ya know?
So, we reconnected and that is just more than awesome. This only helps to validate fate having a hand in matters for me...and maybe even things that are destined to be.
I hold no regrets in my life, because where I am right now is an accumulation of all the choices and experiences that ive been through. Im a stronger person than what I thought long ago but weaker in other instances. I am constantly shaping myself into what i want to be, but that ideal and goal is always changing(for the most part). Jassen is in my life and I believe that there were other opportunities for me to be in this life for him, different chances, but like i said, i am the choices and experiences and I am glad to have him in my life, the way it is, with all the struggles, hardships, and all the love that I am learning from him and about myself. There is so much to learn and love.
I do feel like this is a trialing time...the transitions of things, where I am living, our wedding(Jassen and I) that can be seen peeking at us over the horizon up ahead. It's scary and exciting all rolled into one. It's hard to know what feeling is what sometime, but life, I feel will get even better as I age.
I am overtired at this point, but I think work will wake my butt up,cuz I love the socializing aspect of the job.
Hope all is well with everyone!
