back to the grind....
hey jess, so i haven't been as active on here as before...probably bc i started my NEW JOB! i got the job @ lvegas (slang for leesylvania) and today is actually my 2nd day. yes, i am stoked. i am the "District III Visitor Service Specialist". salary paid too =) i dont want to go into too much detail about it, but so far so good. since lvegs is my "happy place", i dont mind the idea of working here for a very loooooong time. the people here are familiar and those that i just met are very friendly and nice. im located in the office right by the contact station when you come in the park. so close to home...mine an mom n dad's. i just hope i dont mix business with pleasure (meaning my running down there all the time).
oh, so to change the subject....i dog sat this past weekend for the Stearns'. they have 2, a lab and an australian sheepdog. the lab was soooo sweet and cute, reminded me of Ike (looks). the sheepdog is actually a much smaller dog with HIGH energy and will run and play all day long. he yearns for attention and competes with the other dog constantly.
stearns said they took advantage of me bc they never sleep on the bed at night (in which they knew no other way besides sleeping right up against me, including over me at times), they took me for a walk (instead of the opposite, where they would tangle their leashes around each other the whole time and stop at EVERY single mailbox just to sniff it), they begged to play fetch all the time (in which stearns said he just ignores them otherwise they will never stop "pestering" you)....but i did not know they did not usually behave this way. they weren't bad, dont get me wrong...let's just say, i was pretty much on house arrest while i was sitting for them bc traffic was so horrendous all weekend it wasnt worth going back and forth to home. they preferred for me stay there anyway, fyi.
so....i havent heard from ya in a while. i think we need a new jess quiz. how is your tan coming? scooba? u never answer me. any good toe squishing tails lately?? are you still using your nike plus????

cattle guard who???
ok, im gonna google a cattle guard to see what the heck this thing looks like. i feel like i should know, but i guess i dont. that's crazy what happened to you, jill!!!! i cant believe no good samaritan even tried to do first aid or check to see if you were breathing! do u know what happened when you fell?? you could have a concussion.
i remember one time when i was little i went to kings dominion and this lady started grabbing me and pulling on my arm and shoulder. turned out she hit me on the way down as she fainted, she smacked her head on the pavement hard and was bleeding. i felt so bad i didnt try to catch her but i didnt know i was too young. we're glad ur ok for the most part. btw, prenatal vitamins might be something to consider for more iron. i know u love salad, but that's not enough...a good hunk of red meat once a week and supplements will triple what you get from leafy greens alone. take it from me, i always struggled with anemia. it'll take you about 2-3 months to get it back up if it's very low and at least a month if it's low at all.
jess, how is the nike plus??

Accident Prone??
First off, Jess, sorry I missed your call. I can't help it, I don't take my phone with me when I work out and that seems to be the time you call. We're going to have to set up a date/time so I can be prepared to answer. Joey and I decided Mom is the only one that can randomly answer her phone.
Second off, Jon, sorry I missed your call. I haven't been feeling well this week and I took yesterday off work to get sleep and run errands...so, while I was out running an errand I walked out of the store and collapsed on the sidewalk. I haven't fainted in several years, so that was a blast from the past! My point being, once I got home I turned my phone on silent so I could rest. I had a killer headache and neck ache since the fall. I ended the night with an intense fever that tricked me into turning the thermostat down to 65 degrees (i'll pay for that next month!) and then woke up shivering this morning.
Two saturdays ago I ran a 7-point-something mi race up in the mountains and was told there were two cattle guards on the course. They continued to warn the runners to "tip toe" over the guards. Well, me being delirious from the 4 miles I had under my belt, I decided to "tip toe" over the cattle guard by taking a ballerina leap into the air while running at full speed (perhaps my endorphins tricked me in to thinking I was superman), and I made it an impressive 3/4 over the guard and my foot went right into the trap. I was lucky I didn't break my ankle, but i did have a Fred Flintstone fat foot for the next week.
Other than that I've been having another lovely summer in NM. I get to watch the sunset from my balcony, which turns the sky purple and the mountains pink. There's nothing like it. I hope you all can visit soon. And I hope this post deters Joey from spreading more Jess rumors :)
Love you all xoxo

Jess is moving?!!!
so im thinking jon is right about jess joining scooby and the gang. that was her van. that's why she went back down to %$@#! jon, did u know that jess said she went scuba diving and a shark bit her foot?...she said she was lucky it didnt eat her, it was a near death experience. she also said she hit an iguana while trying to put in her contacts and driving. she was locked up for a week and has to pay a $5000 fine still. not that money matters to her....she hit the lotto and is moving to key west. i hear she bought Oprah's vacation home, so u can just have her condo.
we'll have to come down and visit. i want to live in key west...and meet Oprah! Jess, I'm hoping ur cool with us moving in. im bringing the cats too. maybe you could spear fish and feed them fresh tuna. are you going to keep the mystery machine now that you are moving? i think jon will want it, and if not, dad will. haha...
