So, here are some pictures from the Clinton rally in May. It was a really neat experience to go to presidential hopeful rally. Not that many take the time to come to Lexington, Kentucky.

It is Saturday night and to be honest a bit scary here.

It started on Wednesday. I begrudingly dragged myself out of bed to go to work..get there at 9 to which I am informed that I don't need to be to work until 2. So I get in my car and head home..only to get a blow out between Richmond Road and Pimlico. I have to then sit for 1 and half hours waiting on a tow truck. My car is towed to the dealership..which in turn jessicadawnnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5859683.post-82976519697333683562007-08-28T01:34:00.000-04:002007-08-28T01:51:36.003-04:00So periodically I will check how people find my blog. Well, someone searched for "dating girls in their twenties" and my blog came up. Poor guy. I guess he won't want to date any girls in their twenties after reading my blog.I had the day off today...and I got a few things accomplished but not as many as I need.

Why am I up at 3 am you may ask? I have been doing on call mobile shifts for 5 days in a row and had a call at 2am. Fun times.. interrupted sleep..but good money.

I went swimming at night with some friends. It was nice and taking a few moments of my time to do something different made me feel like I enjoyed a breathe of summertime.

It was great. And before you lecture me on how much I spent...especially men out there..let's talk about how much those game systems cost that many of you run out to buy..or those new televisions. Just saying.. a phone has a purpose as much as a tv.

I get carried away doing stuff and just don't seem to get to bed like I should here lately. So, I went to the cingular..i mean the new at&t today..and amazingly didn't purchase the iphone..yet. It is so neat..you just don't understand! Sending me to the at&t store right now is like sending an alcoholic to a bar. Really..I don't want to pay it..but it is very cool indeed.

Definitely doesn't sound as good, but let's be honest - I am well past mid-twenties, so I had to change the title accordingly. May change it again if I can actually come up with something clever.

This past Saturday I was taking a picture of a sign (related to the wedding I was shooting)...I am right off the interstate on the ramp really...when I get someone hollars at me.

I so can not even afford it, but who cool is it? I mean it is an ipod, phone, planner, and internet all in one. I am especially impressed with the maps feature.

Do you remember Joey from Full House? The one who always said cut it out? We went and watched Dave Coulier (a.k.a Joey Gladstone) do stand up at comedy off broadway. He did a good job and we met him afterwards. I didn't really say anything memorable but I did make small talk with him.

In part because I have been so busy and in part because I suppose it didn't have the happy ending for which I had secretly hoped.After my time in County Claire/the burren region of Ireland, I drove down to Killarney.

I am great to have there for advice, for daily companionship...etc..etc. Second, I don't know if I jessicadawnnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5859683.post-51112998910331337102007-02-11T12:51:00.000-05:002007-02-06T00:09:31.321-05:00Well, I must admit that I was even more tired at the end of this week. Not sure why, but dragging my butt out of the bed on Friday was indeed a struggle. I have to start going to bed even earlier than I have been I suppose. Ondi came up this weekend...so that was nice. Yesterday I finally went and spent my Christmas money. Yes, I have held onto it for over a month.:-) I got all the things jessicadawnnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5859683.post-32409578466325492262007-02-05T23:51:00.000-05:002007-02-06T00:09:32.408-05:00So..here's your funny image of the night: me decked out in my strawberry longjohn pjs dancing around the house with my ipod on. Yes..what an ipod commercial that would make. Jamming to my "man hating" music. Today has felt like a long day. I worked..then came home and crashed for a bit. I really did not want to get up, but made myself get up after 9..thought about sleeping through till jessicadawnnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5859683.post-75067180610620809122007-02-04T14:09:00.000-05:002007-02-04T14:10:28.781-05:00Made changes to my top ten places to live where it is warm..it is not top eleven places.

I have this perfect apartment in mind..that I am quite sure I will be unable to find in Lexington..and if I were to find it, I would not be able to afford it. I want an apartment that is perhaps in an older home or building..that has been fixed up. So..I would like the hardwood floors, huge windows, french doors, jessicadawnnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5859683.post-29988086007550329202007-02-01T19:33:00.000-05:002007-02-01T19:54:19.412-05:00New schedule, new hours. It is going well so far I think. My stomach doesn't ache so much in the mornings, although I don't feel like I am getting enough sleep. Why you ask? Am I not going to bed early enough? I suppose that part of it is that I am not getting into bed till around midnight, but another huge part of it is has to do with my dear lovely dog.

Yesterday I was excited because I worked my "normal" schedule and was going for a girls night of watching the pageant at Staci's. I am on call this week and of course all you know what broke lose last night at the Ridge. So..didn't leave the Ridge till close till 10...and then went and reheated my dinner and watched the last 10 jessicadawnnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5859683.post-51673018402381234492007-01-28T23:21:00.000-05:002007-01-28T23:37:10.155-05:00The key to sanity when you are upset: staying busy. I have managed to that this weekend. Worked yesterday..stopped by and saw a friend afterwards..went to a play and dinner today..busy.

Wow..and even more insulting when someone beats to the punch. You are searching and searching..and then you realize they have already deleted you.Yes, I got deleted this evening. Within thirty minutes mind you. Actually it has happened twice to me here lately.

I didn't get to leave till 5am. Yes, I am exhausted and even more thankful that soon I will have more normal hours.

So, I got back up and I am doing what my good friend Key suggested. As I was having dinner with Key tonight, he suggested what I had been taught to tell clients. Since evidently it was information that was somehow integrated into his knowledge through med school...I figured that maybe that information did not fall into the bull shitjessicadawnnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5859683.post-12145022776066691832007-01-15T02:50:00.000-05:002007-01-15T03:08:35.029-05:00Who I am I? I guess I am having a bit of an existential crisis tonight..haha. Sometimes I wonder if starting the blog thing was a good or bad thing. It makes me more vulnerable in alot of ways I think. I share a side of myself on here that others didn't perhaps see or know of before. I guess in a way it is good because it shows that everyone has a human side to them."You're a handful".

I had to get up early because I am actually getting on top of the whole supervision..so I can get licensure thing. Anyways, I am running late as always and I was in my car waiting for the ice to melt. My nice neighbor comes over and shares his de-ice stuff. How nice was that.

All I do is work and sleep when I work this shift..and the hours I am awake and not at work..i.e 4am...well not much opportunity for social interaction there. It is just a bit of a downer I guess working this shift.I went home for a few days for Christmas.

It always creates an ackward situation. Luckily I had only 1 gift given to me that I was aware of..and I only gave one. It is a dead give away by the facial reactions of someone who gets a gift they werent' expecting. Oh the holidays.

Let's see what to start with? The funny moment of the day is me leaving up an old away message on AOL. The message was "heart broken..what else is a girl to do but go shopping". That was from over a year ago! Sort of funny because then I get all these what happened type of messages. Funny. I know exactly jessicadawnnoreply@blogger.com0
