the hiatus...

yeah yeah yeah i haven't been that active with blogging recently. A lot of things have been going on that took me away from it... For example, I've been dealing with the jolt of reality. What is that jolt of reality? well let me tell you...

First off I started my big girl job... It may just be another step in life that we all go through, but let me tell you, its hard! I knew I'd be working long hours, dealing with things (and people) that don't exactly put a smile on my face, traveling, doing grunt work because I'm the newbie and so on. But I didn't realize how much energy it would suck out of me. At first, I just put 100% of myself into work. But then I got super frustrated I didn't really have a life. Lets face it: waking up, showering, driving to work (stopping for Starbucks duh) working all day then going home, having dinner and crashing isn't exactly a life.

What did I do about it? At first nothing, then I started going to the gym, making sure I was going out with old friends and visiting other friends (no I'm not counting Starbucks as one of my best friends). We went to the Hunt, the chic horserace of the year. What could be better than booze, boys and friends?

Regardless, I swear I'll be blogging way more often now. I'm in the swing of things at work, and I just really miss blogging. So for now byeeee but you'll hear from me soon.

guilty pleasure tv shows...

I'm not even going to deny it, I love my reality television shows. I love sitting down after a long day with a glass of wine and some popcorn to watch Real Housewives of whatever, Kardashians, Vanderpump rules and just so many more. No matter how hard I try to stop watching the shows, I just can't, it's a train wreck that I can't seem to look away from. 

So many thoughts go through my head when I watch these different shoes. What parts are scripted, are they being serious, why do they put themselves in these situations, are they embarrassed, will they be embarrassed if their kids see it and just so many more. I just don't understand why some of these women want to have the reputations they are gaining from being on the show, and why would they want their dirty laundry shown  on national television? I start feeling bad for them but then the other part of me thinks the paycheck they're getting from the show must be good enough for them to put up with it or in some cases, act the way they do. After all if their lives were as boring as mine there wouldn't be anyone who would want to watch it. 

Then I start thinking about how entertaining my life actually is. I actually think it would be funny to have bits and pieces of my life filmed for reality tv. Now don't get me wrong, I don't want my breakdowns on tv, although I'm sure they would be beyond amusing. I just think it would be funny to have some of the situations I land myself in on tv. On top of that I wish there could be subtitles as to what was going through my head in these situations. After all my sarcastic comments would be a huge part of what makes the show funny. 

I'm sure people would look at my life as a train wreck or however they would want to judge me. I just think it would be funny for a camera to capture some of well, my finest moments. I mean who wouldn't want to see how I ended up hanging out at FIJI until 5 am one night with one of my best friends making fun of the brothers we were hanging out with. Who wouldn't want to see whats going on inside of my head when people do things that make my jaw drop or any other of my lovely signature faces. I really should look into making this a thing. My roommate and I used to joke at the beginning of the year about making a talk show. All jokes aside, we really should make it happen, she and I will make one and post it up on my blog eventually.

As I sit down to watch Greys Anatomy and Scandal aka my typical shows on a Thursday night, I just cant seem to pull myself away from them. After all of the crazy things that happened in Greys, like Izzy saving a deer, the plane crash, a bomb being in the hospital, all of the love drama going on, I understand why I should stop watching the shows, but I just can't. Since tonight is the finale of Scandal, I literally cant wait to see what happens. 

On that note, I must go refill my wine glass before the show starts.

Let me know what your favorite tv shows are and what you think of the Scandal finale tonight!

until next time... xoxo J

the little things

Sometimes the best things in life, are the little things. Now, don't get me wrong, I love when some of the big things happen like getting a job, going on a trip, getting into college, and so many more. Unfortunately, the big things don't come around often enough for us to just sit around and wait for them. On a day to day basis, its the little things that get us smiling and through the day, after all sometimes those little things in life, add up too the big things.

The nights with no plans or expectations are the best ones...
