So i'm now offically back on 3 soccer teams!! tonight i played on a new co-ed team at hat trick...i hate hat trick...i had forgotten how much until today!! everyone is just so mean spirited!! the game was much much faster than what i'm used to...i told them going into it that i wasn't good so don't expect much....but i can only get better right!! and who knows...maybe by the end of the summer i will be in shape : ) If anyone knows of any girls who would like to be on a girls team....team serenity needs girls!!

patria is gone and it was extremely sad!! i cried...she cried...her mom cried...her friends cried : ) i feel a little bit like i've lost an arm or something...it sounds weird i know!! i'm not sure how people ever get divorced!! its hard to spend a year with someone and let them go...i can't imagine making a whole life together and letting go!!

didn't hear anything from bethany today!! i'm not getting a good feeling...i haven't really had a good feeling all along...so i'm just going to wait until friday then i'll call!! if anyone has any job ideas please let me know!!

Anyone up for some bocce??! this is my first official bocce playing experience!! and ashley and i kicked ass!! i'm thinking i need to get me one of these bocce sets : )

I think for tonight i'm done with boring everyone with pictures!! but i'll post more later!! : )

Most of you have seen this but in case you haven't...this is the new addition to my foot!! I don't know that its going to be a good idea for there to be legal tattoos in oklahoma : ) i cant think of at least two more that i want to get...joey, got lucky...he got a kick ass tattoo for really cheap ($10)...but i really like mine too!!

I guess because i have more time on my hands i will be blogging more...already i have posted 3 or 4 times today...i can't keep up...hopefully i will be able to get into some of the more meaningful blogs that i've written done on paper...

I spent my last evening with patria and her mom tonight...sad : ( Tomorrow i will see her off at the airport!! I'm sure i will cry!!

some of you may be wondering what i've been doing with all my "free time"...with no kid to worry about and now that my job is offically over!! well...take a look!! i've been painting...a lot!! I even have more things that aren't pictured here!! its possible that everyone i know could be getting a jenn original!! watch out world : )

These are pictures from this weekend...friday night at bahama breeze for christina's birthday and saturday night for theresa's bacholorette party!! i promise i only put the good ones up!! : ) I'm also posting some pictures from friday night on my picture blog..

So i had my bethany interview today!! I think it went okay...they said they should be letting people know tomorrow or tuesday who they are hiring...i'll let everyone know when i know!! hopefully tomorrow...i hate waiting a long time for things like this...

amanda gave me this picture...i love it...its great fun...can anyone tell which one is me and who the other shoes belong too???

i'm off to bed....alathough school is out...i've got to take care of some things in the morning and then go finish painting my dads house...so that i can join my friends for a birthday bash...so until later....

I'm pretty much done with my horrible year!! Hooray and i have an interview with another school district on Thursday!! it wasn't planned but i've when have i ever had a plan with things like this!! never!! my internet is down right now but when its back i will make sure to write more, because i will have more time!! i say then...and usually i never have more time!! oh well...happy wednesday!

this is an actual fortune that one of my family members got on sunday....you never know what good advice you will find in the fortune cookie!!

need a tv or a dvd player....i've got an extra one of each for the first person who says so...otherwise its being sold in a garage sale!! they both work awesome, i just don't need two...i don't watch enough tv really to have one : )

tye dye...i realize tye dye is a thing of the past but its fun and i'm thinking of having a tye dye party...everyone bring their own shirt and i will supply the rest!! if you are interested let me know!!

also...i just watched the previews for the new x-men....this is exciting...i'm so out of touch with everything i didn't even realize it was coming out this soon...hooray!! now if only the last harry potter book would come out : )

it is the beginning of the end!!! in some aspects this is kind of sad...like its hit me a couple of times this weekend that i will no longer have pat around...that i will be free to be free!! but at the same time i'm going to miss her....her mom comes in on tuesday and that will pretty much be it...she is going to live with her mom in a hotel for the next two weeks...its just odd to think about i guess...although i still am very excited about having my whole house back : ) And i got my very first mothers day present and card today!! wow...now that was a little weird : )






don't forget to come see the stringents at the red cup on friday night!! we will be there from about 8-10 and its going to be really cool!!

I've been listening to the eels...i really like them and i finally got their latest cd (which has been out for a while)...i really like the lyrics to this song and since i haven't posted lyrics in a long time here you go!! I also got the new gomez which is also awesome and then new (and last : ( granddaddy!! i was listening to granddaddy this morning while working out and its really good!!

hey man (now your really living) the eels
Do you know what it's like to fall on the floor
And cry your guts out till you got no more
Hey man now you're really living

Have you ever made love to a beautiful girl
Made you feel like it's not such a bad world
Hey man now you're really living

Now you're really giving everything
And you're really getting all you gave
Now you're really living what
This life is all about

Well i just saw the sun rise over the hill
Never used to give me much of a thrill
But hey man now I'm really living

Do you know what it's like to care too much
'bout someone that you're never gonna get to touch
Hey man now you're really living

Have you ever sat down in the fresh cut grass
And thought about the moment and when it will pass
Hey man now you're really living

Now you're really giving everything
And you're really getting all you gave
Now you're really living what
This life is all about

Now what would you say if i told you that
Everyone thinks you're a crazy old cat
Hey man now you're really living


alright i know most of you have something to do tonight but if you don't come out to nonna's and sit on the patio and listen to good music....best part is, its free...bad part is, nonna's food and beverages are expensive : (...but it is good times anyway!! the stringents will be there from 7-10 so its even a fairly early show!!

i had a good experience yesterday...i went shopping for a dress to wear to a wedding that i'm going to and everything i picked up and tried on i could wear...this is very new for me and its fun...i'm not used to seeing something i like and then it fits : )...i'm liking it!!

today is the first of many last coming up in my life!! today is the last monday i have to take pat to school!! i can't tell you how exciting this is...i've started my re-decorating....this weekend i spent a lot of time cleaning...i have about 6 boxes of stuff for my dads garage sale and have thrown away about 10 bags of trash and i'm not quite finished. when i am finished my house will mostly be what you see...there won't be a lot of things hiding in boxes that i never see or use!! fun and exciting stuff i tell you!! i'm thinking it may be about time to change up the blog but that will have to wait until later...i should finish up my house first : ) i hope everyone has a very happy monday!! i don't know about any of you but i'm personally sick of the rain!! i'm ready for sun shiny hot weather!! (but after a few weeks of that i'm sure i'll be sick of that too : )

this is a picture the morning after we froze in front of the capital build for the global night commute!! if you haven't seen the invisible children video yet, everyone needs to see it and i am posting a link for everyone to watch it!! Invisible Children i've decided that things i feel that are extremely important i'm not going to shut up about! this is going to be one of them and you will find that there are many more to come...unfortunately its too late for me to start my long blog about caring so it will have to wait...but its been forming in my head for a while along with many idea on how to fix it and you will be reading them all! its good that this is a blog and that you can start and stop reading at any time...i'm figuring once i get started i'm going to start pissing people off!! but i'm okay with that : ) and if you are confused...just wait!! Anyway enough about that for now...i will leave you with these words....watch the video!!

2 more wednesdays....ha-freakin'-ray!! i'm excited to be almost done with that and almost done with raising a child and getting started in other things...its been an interesting year and a lot of change has gone on and is still going on! its crazy to realize what all can happen in a year but really i've learned a lot and will forever more remember this year. I feel at a place in my life where i'm just glad to be alive...nothing is how i want it or i should say how i hoped it would be but i'm okay with that (although last night i was a bit of a debbie downer...but i blame that on something else : )...it really is weird how your mid-twenties just suck!! and i think that there are very few people who don't go through that in some way!! i really wish sometimes that we knew this...i should write through my life then when my kids become 18, i'll give them a book explaining some of the things that we all go through...but by then it may all change...

one of my new past times is making shirts...i've been painting shirts for the stringents and for friends and for me...i'm going to paint some for patrias parents and they are really coming out cool... (patria and i even tye-dyed : ) so this is a picture of the shirt that i made for the invisible children...

I can honestly say that i'm extremely glad to see the first day of May!!! It will all start going down hill from here....HOORAY!!!
