Long Distance Toast
2500 miles from home, having dinner at Gaslight in Boston and we receive a bottle of champagne sent to our table from Tiff….in Reno.
Yup, that happened. ~J
It's been a long day...
Just ate Manchego Cheese, Crackers and SpongeBob Fruit Snacks for dinner. I am a picture of health. A.

Seconded
Remember that feeling...
When you were like 9, Christmas Eve and you knew you were getting a new bike and couldn’t wait to go take it for a spin on Christmas morning? Nervous butterflies, excitement, maybe a little nervous you will take a digger at some point and wreck it?
Fast forward 24 years; I have that same feeling, minus the getting a new bike part. Waiting for my flight to board departing to Boston....

On my honor, I will try:
To not eat all the Girl Scout cookies some asshole left in the break room.
Doesn’t the Girl Scout promise say something about helping others at all times? Because these cookies are not helping me or my waistline at all. ~T
Thought for the day.
Do you ever just want to do the running man? I find myself, at times, just feeling so good that I break into full extension running man. With the side arm pump and all. No one around me even says a word when this happens. I’m so proud of the personality trait I have created for myself. A.
I can't handle
Misuse of words. Seriously, proofread your shit before you hit “send”, “post” or other button leading to the public reading and wondering how you passed the 2nd grade.
Mean? Yes. Necessary? Yes. Sorry? Not really. I don’t understand how it happens. One word, ok but several in multiple sentences? Not okay.
Example: “it is TO much to handle”=...
What's the secret
I burned an entire box worth of Pop Secret popcorn, one bag after another; 3 to be exact. I’m sure it’s some sort of issue with my microwave and not me. Right? Yes.
Domestic goddess. ~J
And my house smells awesome now too.

Always, this.
Back in my past life I would jump into dating after heartbreak to help myself move on. Why not right? It may be my age, my level of maturity or the love I felt for him that is forcing a change. It’s new for me and from what I hear, very normal. I’ve met a few very nice men, but truly want nothing to do with it. I would rather sit on my couch alone than pretend to be something or...
“Didn’t we already talk about this. Should I bring my dead horse next time?”

I don’t get “Baby on Board” signs in cars. What’s the point? To discourage people from plowing into your car? Is it effective?
I want a “Jamie On Board” sign.
Expect the Unexpected
I wouldn’t say I am an extremely emotional person, I have succeeded in showing as little as possible; not necessarily a positive characteristic trait. It has its advantages; I work in a high stress, male dominated industry requiring me to suppress emotion or i would like look a sissy. Sad but true. When I want to break down, scream or cry, I don’t because there is no crying in my...
"I need to explain myself"...
Is never a good way to start a conversation with your boss. Especially seeing I had not a fucking clue why an explanation was needed. Sometimes it’s better remaining in the dark. I have never been afraid of darkness, actually I kind of like it.
This week can’t be real, am I being Punked? Seriously.
FML. FML. FML. ~ J
I would like a Xanax, a hot bath and a massage, not necessarily in that order. My brain has had enough for one week and it’s only Wednesday. ~J
We have some major porn on our dash right now. Isn’t it a little early for that? Sheesh. A.
Today I spent some time with a friend who’s dear mother has been battling cancer for years. This woman is the most angelic, beautiful, giving, loving woman I have ever met. She is losing her battle and has decided to discontinue treatment. My heart is broken. Broken. How do you say goodbye? How do you ever tell her how much she means to so many people? How do you hug her and not cry? I...

....we all Cough for ice cream
Me: hey dude how did your physical go?
My 15 y/o: No offense Mom but we are not going to discuss this.
Me: Alrighty then....
I immediately called his dad to get the scoop and explained Chance didn't want to discuss with me. He said "men
don't ask you details of your annuals, women shouldn't ask us either; it was no big deal, he got his junk checked and we went out for ice cream afterwards".
Ice cream, okay, sounds like a good time.
Who Knew
The softer side of Jamie is currently making her debut appearance. Huh, this is new.
People are confused, possibly scared.
