some calvin and hobbes quotes:

this first one reminds me of levi and audra...

"I'm never gonna get married. Are you?"
"Hmm...I suppose if the right person came along, I might. Someone with green eyes and a nice laugh, who I could call 'Pooty Pie'."
"POOTY PIE?"
"Or bitsy pookums."
"I think that would affect my stomach a lot more than my heart."
"Bitsy pookums I'd say. Yes snoogy woogy, she'd reply..."

Reality continues to ruin my life.

In my opinion, we don't devote nearly enough scientific research to finding a cure for jerks.

have some time to waste?

well since jess did it and it looks kind of fun and im bored and i need a break from my last final and i havent blogged in like forever, i figure i'll take a spin with the lyrics game. most of you know the rules, but just in case...

I turned my ipod on random and took the first and second line (or something very close to it) from each song that came up. Comment with the number, the artist, and the title. Try to get these WITHOUT searching for them on the internet!

so yeah...go get em tigers!

1. think about the love inside the strength of heart. think about the heros saving life in the dark. (Yellowcard-Believe:Jess)

2. calm down. and get straight. its in our eyes.

3. sixteen military wives, thirty-two softly focused brightly colored eyes.

4. you say, that we've got nothing in common, no common ground to start from (on my ipod it was actually by Hootie and the Blowfish, but i still give you credit-Breakfast at Tiffanys: Jess)

5. i had all but given up on finding the one that i could fall into

6. there's a gentleman who's not so gentle cuz he's too generous with his chit and his chat

7. because you say, dont mean you mean it, run away to find a home

8. this may be the last thing that i write for long. can you hear me smiling when i sing this song? (all american rejects-The last song: jess)

9. today is gonna be the day that they're gonna throw it back to you

10. six days went by, trying to forget her face. it was you and i

11. i saw fireworks form the freeway, and behind closed eyes i cannot make them go away (Jason Mraz-Remedy: Jess)

12. give me a reason, to end this discussion, to break with tradition, fall and divide.

13. when i first came to this island that i called by my own name, i was happy in this fortress in my exile i remained.

14. you seem to find the dark when everything is bright.

15. and i'd give up forever to touch you cause i know that you feel me somehow (Goo Goo Dolls-Iris: jess)

...and im spent. have fun. these should be real easy.

opinion poll

ARE BEEF AND STEAK THE SAME???

yes? no? maybe? sometimes? never?

post your response and your reason why.

popular vote will win it!

(yes i will admit if i'm wrong)

would you like beef? or steak?

well, jess, dont worry, i haven't forgotten to post my story about the beach. its coming. but first, i have a really funny story about what happened today during lunch. let me just set the scene for ya. me, levi, and a brother we picked up form the airport to bring to daytona had just sat down in the daytona ale house for some foodstuff. we are all looking at the menu and levi is babbling to him self like he usually does. it sounds something like this:

levi:hmm...i havent been here in awhile...i wonder whats good....oh haha...look at that...burger?...nah....oh, you know i could really go for some fajitas....too bad there beef instead of steak. i dont do beef...hmm...maybe i
jenna: wait, wha...levi what did you just say?
levi: maybe ill go for some pasta.
jenna: no, did you?
john: yeah, i think he just did
jenna: levi, did you just say you dont want fajitas because they are beef not steak?
john: oh yeah, he just said that!

(at this point i start hysterically laughing and after several minuets of trying to regain my composer i finally get a hold of my giggles and am able to explain to levi his quotidian mistake.)

levi: what? i dont get it
jenna: levi, beef...and steak....ITS THE SAME THING!
levi: but...uh...

then the waitress comes over and we (john and i) have been laughing about this for some time. levi at this point is trying to argue that he though it was "ground beef" fajitas. and we are like....riiiiight, cuz they make "ground beef fajitas" alllll the time. so john asks the waitress

john: so, tell me, is there a difference between "beef" and "steak"

(im trying with all my might not to laugh out loud, but this is to no avail and what i end up doing is this spitting coughing laugh thing. quite gross)
the waitress looks confused and slightly concerned because of the sounds im making and looks questioningly at john.

waitress: um...no. i don't...why?

john: oh we were just wondering. (he grins profusely at levi and we begin to order.)

needless to say, it was quite the event. i laughed about it the whole day.

steak. beef. hahahah!
and people say IM the blond in the family. ha!

me+phones+water=bad bad bad

hey howdy hey everyone. i know its been like forever, and by request of some in far away states, ill do an update.

ill start with the funniest first. guess what! i think its a proven fact that my cell phone is physically attracted to water. its not my fault you see. its the phones fault. no, i didnt drop my phone in the toliet. but pretty close. this time, i doped it in the sink. yes. i know. laugh out loud. its ok. what happened was i had the phone in my hand and i went in to the bathroom to wash my hands after work (kids are dirty) and i set my phone on the side of the sink. then i accidentally knocked my phone in to the sink when i was trying to get some soap and this caused a strange chain reaction that include lots of yelping and jumping around. my phone was only in the water for like .5 seconds and at the time it seemed to be ok. i dried it off real quick and i was like, ok, all is well...lets see, yes it still dials. im good. but then...like 15 min later, its starts making these weird noises and now the screen says "UP_Loader Mode Start" i dont know what that means but i dont think its good. and every time i reset my phone it starts dialing random people like its got a mind of its own. so if you get a random call from me, sorry. so i guess ill be phoneless AGAIN! this is why i dont have nice things. i always drop them in or on something. (btw, i did mess up my camera from the bon-fire night) you think i would learn my lesson and STOP bringing my phone in to the bathroom...maybe three times is the charm??

the assembly this weekend was great. have a few pics up on the pictalog. not that many though. Rebeca and Karina both got baptized :) couldnt't be happier to welcome our sisters!

i have a beach story to tell as well but i have to go now, so ill update later.

hope all are well!

crazy crazy day

so pretty crazy day today, but exciting none the less. ill begin from the beginning, since thats where you begin.
so this morning out in service i was with a couple of sisters and brothers in our hall, who shall remain nameless, by request. but for the sake of the story we will call them sister scared and sister laughes-alot. we were working in a part of town where animals are allowed to roam free and clear and humans are not responsible for them. it was in this part of town that our sister scared decided to take the first door. now sister scared is very afraid of dogs. so afraid she wont even get out of the car when on is around. now if it is a pit bull or something, i can understand her feeling but usually she feels this way about all our four legged friends. well at the first door she got out of the drivers side and walked around the front of the car to a house on the right side of the road. there was an elderly lady working in her yard. it seemed innocent enough. there was no fence and no sign of any dogs anywhere. so our sister scared begins her presentation as shes walking up to the house when all of the sudden a golden retriever comes skipping out form under the steps to meet her. now sister scared was very scared and even though the dog showed no signs of aggression (ie. barking, showing teeth, hair standing up) she still began to freak out. so much so that she ran back to the car and opened the first door she could find. now this happened to be sister laughs-alot door. now at this point everyone in the car was laughing hysterically only because it was a cute little golden retriever wagging its tail at her. so she jumps into the car on to sister laughs-alots lap and balls her self up and tries to close the door as best she could. now physically, even though she was hugging her knees, this was just not possible and with all the screeching and laughing the dog was looking at her like she was crazy. so i finally get a hold of myself and jump out of the car just in time to intercept the dog from licking sister scareds leg off. the lady who was out side comes hobbling up saying how ‘its ok’ and ‘its a nice dog.’ then i look over and she has like an nine inch knife in her hand! im was like WHA!! i was laughing sooo hard. the old lady with the knife was just the icing on the cake. so i hold off the dog and sister scared jumps out and runs to the other side of the care. needless to say sister laughs-alot along with every other person in the car were laughing alot :) i think we should compile a book about things that happen in field service. maybe like, the 'plight of the pioneers' im sure between us all we could come up with a best seller.

in other news, i was driving to the book study today and two raccoons, a baby and a mama, ( well i dont really know there relation but whatev) came darting out in front of me and it was raining and i came so close to killing them. but i didnt cuz i have excellent driving skills :). im sure if my mom was there she would have made me pull over so she could pet them.

then, earlier my cat started hacking up a hair ball and im like, hurry, levi put him in the bathroom, since levi was standing right there. so he grabs him and throws him in there and then a couple seconds later i hear levi say,'uh jenna, he came out' i was like, omg, levi why didnt you close the door!! but thats levi for you. so the cat scurried down the stairs and i still haven’t found anything…

2 more service days left!!!

happy feet not so happy

at first i thought this picture was cute, then i saw happy feet. now im thinking not so much. overall i have to say i was a little disappointed in the film. i was expecting something a little more i guess. it was kind of weird with the real people and the cartoon penguins. i dont know what was going on there. it was no finding nemo thats for sure. it was cute though, and the rest of the afternoon vincent was going around repeating anything he could remember form the film, over and over. and over.

on a strange note, i had a post about my incident in the shower with cat shampoo and it disappeared. dont know how that happened so ill just reiterate the 10 sec version. basically i gave my cat a bath and then forgot to take out the cat shampoo so when i went in to shower i started to wash my hair with cat shampoo. i was scrubbing away and im like, hmm...that kinds smells funny...almost like oatmeal and flea repellent. then i figured it out and kind of freaked out. but needless to say i was flea free for several weeks and my hair was shiny. its a good laugh if you think about it.

on a side note, just got the new JW 2007 calendar in today, is it just me or are they using all real pictures now?? i kind of liked the artist rendition of biblical events. don’t get me wrong, i still like the new one. especially the may/june page with the sea turtle :) just a thought.
