This website makes me giggle. Here's why...

I need a kid.

I think if I had a kid it would some what be justified then but.....

I have recently become (once again) obsessed with everything Disney.  It's gone from "eh it's something I like" to Mark thinks I might turn into a crazed psycho fan (aka a pedophile). 

I don't know what it is but I LOVED Hannah Montana the movie (downloaded the soundtrack shortly after), would hate to choose between watching JONAS or Wizards of Waverly Place and seriously would rather be at home watching these shows than out (pathetic) on a Saturday night. 

It doesn't stop there, my newest Pandora station is dedicated to the JBros, Hannah and such-PLUS my new ring tone (come on- it DOES make your toes tap, admit it.) and NOW I've started the HSM craze.....

The only good thing I have going for me is that Jackson is 32 years old. (though he plays Hannah's YOUNGER brother)....seeeeeee  I'm not THAT weird.....right???  Tell me you like some of this stuff?? Please oh please...

Critical Mass

Ever heard of it?!  I heard about this awesome event a few weeks ago from Suzanne and got super pissed that I completely forgot about it yesterday...ugh but it was cold and rainy so I'm not sure how up I would have been for it anyways. But next month I am SO THERE-well I really hope to be. 

I am looking for a few buddies too so let me know if your interested!  Any bikers out there? 

Find out about this cool event HERE and on their Wikipedia page.  

Mark your calendars: September 25th! 

8 late....

Well OK I'm back (I guess)....more people than I thought missed me or kept asking "Why the break?" "What's wrong?" "What happened?"...wow people-Relax. So instead of getting bugged I'll just start blogging again. Happy!? Good...

Ok so I just noticed I have 108, now 109 posts. So I'm 8 (or 9 counting this one) posts late for the famous "100th post" aka "100 facts about me" So away. we. go....

9. I finally had to start plucking my eyebrows about 3 years ago..ahh light blond hair gotta love it.

10. I'm slowing realizing that people can't read minds...so just because I'm mad or am thinking something doesn't mean anyone else knows it.

Moving right along....

Mark and I have been living together for over a month now and well nothings change.  Not sure if that is a good thing or a bad thing.  I'm siding with a good thing, it's still good, we're still good.  Once I stop getting excited to come home then I'll worry.....

On top of living together for more than a month we are quickly approaching our one year anniversary (WOAH!)! How great is that?!?!?-that I'm sure, is a good thing! :)  Gosh what a time to reflect.....I've come along way both personally and mentally. All for the good. So lets take a moment and look back on a great (almost) 365 days....

Without Mark I'd be clueless in a range of things....Entourage, Twitter, Digg, TRS, Diggnation, Fantasy Sports, Podcasts, Harry Potter, Apple TV, DVR, HD, Blu-Ray, Arrested Development, but most importantly DEXTER!!!  Ohhhhhh Mark- You. Complete. Me.  Errrrr maybe your DVD selections complete me either or. 

Happy Almost One Year Mr. Morow!!

Official one year date:  8/24

Official one year celebration date:  8/28

Yippeee.....Cheers!!

Ever not get enough of something? She is it for me.....

Sooooo yea Taylor is 5 now, it FINALLY felt like summer, I went to my first Chicago Cares volunteer project AND to my first Farmer's Market..all this weekend. WOO. HOO. (I did however fail at going for a bike ride and getting to the beach..booo but that can be next weekend, baby steps Jen, baby steps)

Fresh farmer's market flowers!!

Birthday Party fun.....!!
Ohhhhh it is so good to be alive....

I love when songs speak for you.

TAYLOR!!

My niece, she's turning 5 on Saturday. OH. MY. GOD. I can not believe it, I can remember for weeks driving back and forth to the hospital (she was premature) just to go visit her, oddly enough those were some of the best times I had with my sister. But my goodness how she's grown, it's been quite the 5 years, let me tell you! But back to Taylor....
She is amazing, if you've met her at all you know why..shes got some great baby blues, super laid back and so quick witted for such a small human being. She takes after me so much you'd swear she was mine, not to mention how cute she is (again, I trait of mine)...soooo Taylor- Happy 5th Birthday!!
I'm so bummed I have no newborn pictures of her but none the less a time line of the kid that all kids should be protocol-ed from. (seriously-no joke, they should be, I don't want kids unless there is some written and signed guarantee they pop out like this one) ENJOY!

From the earliest I have....just over a year old here.
My 24th Bday dinner..... Christmas 2007....Summer of 2008, yes the jump rope is how I dragggggged her down the slip and slide (she is a wimp). No do not call child services, she told me too. Taylor's first trip to Disney! Just this past December....

Ohhhh Taylor I get weepy as I write this....you are the cutest of them all, see you Saturday! Love, Auntie Jen xoxo.

I'm watching you!

I swear, I am. Or at least who visits my page. Yes it was at 2 this morning, probably both from me, but whatever!

You can watch others too-here!

The good old days.

If only I knew now what I was told then. I can remember hundreds of times being told as a kid "do this...", "don't do that...". I was pretty good at putting up fights let me tell you!

Take naps for example, man if only I would have wanted to take naps when I was a kid, maybe I wouldn't be so tired now...ohhhhh how I wish I still had to take a 2:30 nap...

This being said I have walked into adulthood with a few "do's and don't's" that have stayed with me-unfortunately I think some people still pathetically lack.

*Don't chew with your mouth full. NO. MATTER. WHAT.

*Always use please and thank you.

*The truth always comes out.

*Always wear clean underwear :)

*No matter how you look at it (food/drink/or person)- too much of a good thing turns bad.

One thing I would like to counter with is the famous "your face is gonna stay like that" when making a funny face-HA, nice try Mom-WRONG.
Jen-1
Mom-145,146,326,355,684

Booooya.

What do you guys remember being told as a kid?
