Hills, City, Loop

Just so you know, I've ranked them:  

The City 

The Hills 

Loop 

The City has moved to the top due to Kristin's horrible acting skills-granted none of the characters have very much skill to begin with but blah to her. As least with LC they left you wondering if it was scripted or not-those days are over. Also the only exciting thing about the Hills anymore is crazy "i've changed" (heard that before) Spencer and "my head is too big for my body (literally)" Heidi. So yeah give Spedi their own show and I'll move past my Hills days like I did with Laguna. 

So Whitney go on with your bad self-or your not so bad self where you let every person that comes to New York you know move in with you...we're allllllll watching (or at least my gals and I are)!!! 

*PS-Mark LOOOOOVES "Hills nights" 

Oh and the "Loop"....pitching it to MTV Winter of 2010 starring guess who?!?!?!

Winter

I can't stand it. And yeah people say that all the time but really I take the cake for hating on it. My body is always negative 20 degrees, so it's no fun when the weather itself is negative 20 degrees as well. I'm never warm, even when I've taught an hour of spin or ran for 30 minutes, yeah I'm sweaty (and trrrrrrrust me I get sweaty) but I get warm for mayyyyybe 4 minutes-then my body temperature immediately drops and I get cold. Ugh. I live in Chicago for what reason??? Maybe that's why a possible move to California or Arizona gets a little more appealing every year-especially now that I've read this years Farmers Almanac.

In summary: Winter-same as last. Summer-Same. Damn. Thing.


On a positive note you can buy cute hats and coats like this cute lady! (Go with the blue one!)

Stay warm kids, I'll be jealous thinking of your body heat.

Toy Story-IN 3D!!!!

Get your 3D glasses out and your tickets (while you can)!!!

Shows start this Friday, and it's only playing for TWO WEEKS!!!

DOUBLE FEATURE-2 shows for the price of one!!! What a great date night!!!! And you know Mark and I will be there! Well Saturday.....I'm excited to see the whole gang again, no one makes me smile like good old Woody!

Check for showtimes though, it's not playing everywhere-we actually have to head to the burbs for the closest theater..ah well, IT IS GONNA BE SOOO WORTH IT.

*yes Mark are I are both way to excited for this (shut it you haters you)

A proud Mom.

So Mark is well on the road of MBA Ave....in additon to that he works 40 plus hours AND takes a numerous amounts of certifications in Apple and Microsoft basically to just better himself in his field and  make his resume look that much better. 

So yea no big deal right? Well it is-to me. Why? Because he is on roll, this year alone he has taken AND PASSED 8 certs (and become the mayor of the testing center)....HOT STREAK-what what! My favorite thing about these "Jen has no idea what they mean" certs is that when he comes home he shows me the test and his awesome score.  I love it. I feel like a proud mom of her A+ student. So up they go, on the (side) of the fridge!

Soon we'll need a bigger fridge!! :-)

Jersey Boys :(

Final show in Chicago January 10th 2010. I almost cry thinking about it. :(

If you haven't been-GO!

If you don't know the music-GET IT!

It's a great show probably the best I've seen-E.V.E.R. I get chills when I hear the music. Please go, I beg of you, you won't regret it. Or buy me a ticket to go again (thanks in advance)-ORRRRR plan a date with me!!

I heart Frankie

Jillian Michaels

Oh how I hate her. Her and her 30 day Shred. I did it for the first time yesterday. FOR ONE DAY. 20 MINUTES. Oh holy heaven, I'm sore. F U Jillian. Actually I love it and her. :) I highly suggest it. The best thing about it is I can sneak it in before Mark gets home so he won't see how cool I really am while I sweat and grunt in front of our flat screen-Suuuuucker.

Tonight (hopefully)-3 mile run and Shred day two!

PS.

I almost forgot-still broken/murdered BOO.....  

Someone please buy me a new one, and Michael, and Pam, and Jim, and Toby, and and and......ALL OF THEM. K, thanks!

Always Sunny...

I don't know how or when but Thursday nights have become the best night for television-EVER. The Office, Community (bound to be funny) and of course ALWAYS SUNNY!!!

Yes I'm patiently (and pathetically) waiting for the season premieres that start TONIGHT!!!  (Don't forget to add 30 Rock-starting October 15th to the line up)!!

Ok currently watching Grandma's Boy (funny!) on FX and saw this commercial just now-hysterical (Oh Charlie!)

Oh my and then I found this........you gotta love this show!!!

Poor Mark all up in his MBA business misses ALL of this! Thank god for DVR and an awesome girlfriend who not only set the recordings BUT will not be watching the premieres UNTIL he gets home (yes I'm a keeper) NO. SPOILERS. PLEASE!!!!!!!!   Ugh wonder what's on HGTV or Netflix streaming.....is Mark home yet!??!?!?

I have fallen in love ALL OVER AGAIN. Completely smittened, butterflies, ear to ear smiles, etc. With what you ask?

Mark.

The last 2 or so weeks have been so stressful, honestly the start of "year 2" for us was not as lovely as we had hoped mainly because Jen is/was a stupid idiot and work/school/etc just got the best of us but hey-we are all guilty of it, we are only human, close to perfect (me) I know but still only human. ;-) Anyways with everything going on Mark has been the most amazing thing ever, my biggest support, my hardest rock, my everything. I could go on but I'm guessing all the eyerolls are getting old now so I'll just end it with thanking him.

Mark, I am so grateful for everything you've shown me and given to me so far in this trip we call life. I love you.

(I giggle when I see this pic-couldn't ya just put him in your pocket and take him everywhere with you??!?!?! :-D)

Why are people still talking about Kayne? Seriously haven't people figured out that's exactly what he wants??? Hellllllo?!?!?! So he is an ignorant disrespectful SOB! All he did was prove that-congrats Kayne just when I wasn't sure before I am now, thanks. And yes I realize I'm technically "talking" about him but it just pisses me off that people act this way and get publicity for it (and headlines EAT. IT. UP), ah well guess that show biz for ya! Or I guess that is just the way stupid, immature, idiotic people act these days...guess I'm not the only one that seems to know one! :)

Side note: I love that this happened and people are all "I'm never gonna listen to his music again" oh please, you too grow up....half the time I can't even tell the difference between him and another rapper...my ghetto self likes it all! Peace out fools.

climbing!

It's that time again.  Yep that time when Jen does something crazy. Time to climb the Sears Tower!!  (and no I won't refer to it as Willis so SEARS) 

Crazy I know but last year I did it in 26:22 mins (602 out of 1953), then I climbed the Hancock a few months later (133rd out of 739) in 9:05 mins (half climb) so now I'm back to the full climb-103 floors and 2,109 glorious steps-Woo hoo! 

The best part of the climb is that I've recruited a few of my spin members to join in so we named the team respectfully the "5am-ers", even better you can absolutely 100%, I'd love you forever JOIN US!!!  Please oh please!!  I promise to wait for you (at the top)! 

Too lazy huh?!?! -Well you're in luck-just donate and I'll pick up the slack! :)

lantrolove

Wish me luck!!!! 

Row.

Found this awesome new "cardio workout"....rowing. Damn, it's nothing short of awesomeness. I rowed for 32 mins on Monday (out rowed a certain someone too)....I even went back for more Tuesday only lasted 14 mins....why?? Blisters....booo I have to go get uber cool workout gloves to continue this new phenomenon. But either way if your gym has rowing machines do give them a try, you will be impressed plus you can work your back, torso, arms and legs all while actually sitting! ;)

Check out tips and how-to's HERE!

And look they snapped a pic of me in action......
