What Jenn Is Loving

1. Redeeming Love
This is one of the best books I've ever read.
It's "Christian Fiction" and based on the story of Hosea
For those who don't know:
Hosea was told by God to marry a prostitute and love her as God loves his people. 
Except, Redeeming Love is set in the 1850s gold rush
Seriously, read this book!

2. Netflix
My wonderful James gave me the password to his account
Which means, I can watch any of the "instant" movies right on my Macbook
it's kinda awesome

3. Bumper Stickers on Facebook
Mine have gotten a bit out of control
Especially in regards to Twilight
Here are some of my faves









I think this last one is my absolute favorite! 

4. Cute Dates
James & I are cute.
I don't know if you knew this or not, but we are.
Especially James.
So therefore, we go on cute dates.
Last week he took me to the Cheesecake Factory and the Planetarium
Yea, it was AWESOME.
And yes, I did devour my Brownie Sundae Cheesecake
Then I took a nap the whole car ride home because the small children of VBS had worn me out.

5. Scattergories
As it turns out, I'm really good at this game.
I went to my former Younglife leader's house Tuesday with Sarah.
The three of us played Scattergories for almost an hour, and I won every round

6. Home Made Cake
I made a cake, from scratch.
Frosting and everything.
It was delish.

There were a few minor mishaps, but overall the cake turned out ah-mazing


7. TOMs Tie-Dyed Shoes
I literally squealed when I saw these
I really want a pair, and they used to have some that were Zeta Blue.
However, they were limited edition and I was not able to get them.
Sad day, I know.
Then they came out with the corduroy TOMs in Zeta Blue, and I almost bought them...
But now, there are awesome tie-dyed ones! 
So we are going to vote, and I need your help.
This means you awesome blogy-blog friend I could have if you comment.
Now is NOT the time to come and read and not introduce yourself friends!

Should Jenn with 2 N's Buy:

Navy Tie-Dyed TOMs

Green Tie-Dyed TOMs

or Zeta Blue TOMs

The pair that wins will be the pair I buy!
Happy Voting

8. I Rocked a Romper at the No Doubt/Paramore Concert
And so did Gwen 
(as in Gwen Stefan, as in the lead singer of No Doubt)
I came home from VBS and my Daddy asked "You wanted to go to No Doubt tonight, right?"
Well DUH!
So I called up Kayla, who had lawn seats, and told her to give her tickets to my Big and her BFF Jessie. 

Me, Lauren, Kayla, Jessie and Kim had a blasty-blast
(Kim took the picture)

&& my friend Jason was there! He called me when Paramore was playing "Decode" because it made him think of me (we watched Twilight together a LOT in the dorms).  
So after Paramore got off stage I went on a mission to find him

9. I'm Headed to M*Ville for the Weekend
Where I will have an early birthday party with all my college friends
I am so excited, because I haven't seen a lot of them since I got back to the Ville
Kayla is hosting the party at her apartment, which was super nice of her to offer to do for me!
My actual birthday is the 16th
I'll be 19 (which is really not very exciting. nothing really happens)

I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend
REMEMBER to vote on which TOMs you think I should buy!

14 sweet notes:

  1. I love those bumper sticker things!
    They look kinda like Flair, which I am addicted to. There's another totally hilarious stick-figure one that makes me LOL:

    Tehehehehe.

    Awww, I love baking. But I don't do it much because our kitchen is rather smallish.
    And it frustrates me.

    Aaaaaaand: Happy Birthday for the 16th! I hope you have a super-fab day. When I turned 19 back in Feb I was sad. I feel old. Like I'm really an adult, not a kid anymore. Don't know how I'll be when I'm 20!

  2. 1. Marrying a prostitute? Hmm... I don't know if I could do that. And if you like that then you should check out "Pride and Prejudice and Zombies." It's the same book, just with zombies.

    2. I love Netflix, it's pretty awesome.

    3. Chris Smith gave me a bumper sticker that had a little kid flexing and said "B*tch, I will f*ck you up." It was awesome.

    4. Do you remember how we were talking about how you and James were nerds? Well, I think going to the planetarium adds some nerd points. But don't worry, I'm a nerd too. Speaking of nerds you should check out http://nerdfighters.ning.com/

    5. I've never played.

    6. I have never had homemade cake. It looks good though.

    7. Are TOMS the shoes where when you buy one they give a pair away in Africa? If so, you should buy all three so there are three more children in Africa with shoes.

    8. Weren't you supposed to come down that weekend and hang out, but then you had that to do or something? I remember you telling me about that night or something...

    9. You're coming back to Murderville (yes I heard it called that on the radio) and you didn't tell me?? Gee thanks, Jenn. :(

    PS- I don't like how your music player stops whatever music I'm listening to. Like I'll have Pandora up and when I open your blog it will stop my music to play yours. Your music player doesn't play very nicely.

  3. So many things to say about this one post! I'm afraid I may ramble on forever.

    1.) My numbers do not correspond with yours, but rather with my ADD state of mind hehe. And sorry.

    2.) Jealous that you got to see Paramore/No Doubt (my friend and I tried to go when it was here but it sold out) but LOVE the outfit.

    3.) I know this is typical but I have the same Audrey icon/banner but of course it says "Kappa Delta" instead of Zeta Tau Alpha. Did I mention I'm in a sorority? I am. :)

    4.) Love the Twi bumper stickers! I've seen some hilarious flair as well! It's probably good we're not FB friends or I might bombard you with it. I tend to do that.

    5.) Planetariums are SO cool! And I am being serious, not mocking. Sounds like a fab date.

    6.) I am so torn but I think I like the tye-dyed blue Toms the best.

    7.) I envy those with netflix. Hard core. I'm glad you have James who shares the netflix love.

    Love your posts, Jenn!

    <3,
    Katie

  4. Jayde- that flair was awesome! I literally laughed out loud

    Beast- You are coming to my bday party silly! So you KNEW I would be M*Ville! Yes, TOMs are those shoes, I'm trying to decide which ones I'm buying first, lot of help you were! haha

    Katie- I know you have already seen my comment over on your blog, but YAY Kappa Delta! I LOVE KD almost as much as Zeta! If we were FB friends, I would welcome the bombardment, and meant you with one equal to it. And thanks for your vote, so far it's looking like I'm buying the Navy Tie Dye!

    AND you seem like you're doing a LOT LOT LOT better!

  5. Haha I'm a Flair bombarder, too.
    I can't help myself lol
    Forgot to add before - Paramore and No Doubt - SO JEALOUS! More of the Paramore thing. I loooove them.
    Scattegories - I love it! But no-one will play with me because I always win lol
    And the shoes - I like the Zeta Blue ones :)

  6. Hey Jenn! I thought I'd respond here again so you'd be sure to notice it (I got your comment on my blog!). I had no idea we were sister sororities! I love that. ((Hugs)) I am so happy to learn this too. We can def. chat all things greek life and KD/ZTA now. :)

    And thanks, I am doing better slowly but surely. Now the trick is not re-injuring anything by rushing the recovery.

  7. I'm all about the FB bumper stickers!

  8. I like the blue pair of shoes...but that's because I'm not a tie dye kind of girl so don't take my advice.

    I lourve scattergories. I just love board games and card games period. In fact, last week wep layed card games for three hours straight with my grandma. It was so fun, we couldn't stop laughing.

    great job on the cake! my cakes always have a few mishaps...and it just looks like you filled it a little full. no problem. I've completely RUINED cakes before so you are good :)

    once you go home made you won't go back...I try and do cake mixes every so often for family dinners and David freaks out because they don't taste as good. What a spoiled little bum :)

  10. Happy ALMOST Birthday! :D

    I love that aqua blue Team Jacob button thingy, haha!

    I love the green Tie-Dyed TOMs!

    ReplyDelete
  11. Malia - I know what you mean about box cake now. I almost regret having made the cake from scratch. ALMOST!

    Even if I end up buying the tie-dyed pair first, I will probably end up buying the blue pair too

    EY 385 - glad you haven't been mauled by a bear yet, but you should be for saying that twilight is even more not real mainly because I can SO hold the book in my hands, thus real! I still like you too!

    Nancy - Thank you for the almost birthday wish!!

  12. Some day I'm going to write you a comment that's going to be one sentence. Short and sweet. But I'm sorry my dear today is not the day. Here I go...

    1.I SWEAR you are my cuter, younger, Southern twin. I'm serious on this one. Example A: I made an apple pie once that did the same thing your cake did. Apparently it got all crazy and decided to explode all over the bottom of my oven and when I went to check on it the whole kitchen was filled with smoke. MM hated me that day (but I made up for it with my awesome pie) Example B: I'm the bomb dot com at Scattergories. I always win so nobody will play with me now :( Example C: I love all your bumper stickers.They are probably very similar to the ones I would have if I were to participate. Example D: We both have June birthdays. WAIT! WAIT! WAIT A SECOND! Today is your birthday. Happy Birthday favorite bloggy friend! I hope it's lovely!

    2. That Hale yes Jasper sticker made my heart skip a beat. He's attractive. Quite attractive. (especially because he has a Southern accent. ooooh baby I love Southern accents)

    3. Never ask for my help on a decision. I'm the most indecisive person EVER in the history of the entire world. They are all cute though, good luck!

    Sorry for the novel. Happy birthday again!
