Accept it

Well folks, it's Wednesday. We have made it this far! 

I know you are probably all anticipating the details from my date with "boy" last night......

Well, it didn't happen. Sad, I know but that's life. He was busy all day running around trying to get things together for work since he was leaving this morning. Things were taking longer than expected, so plans started to change. Dinner and drinks was the original plan, then it was just drinks, and then it was going to be too late to do anything. He was very sweet about it though, he said sorry and he agreed that the next time he is in town (2 weeks from now) we could go for a mini road trip and hang out more than once while he's here. So not a total loss, hopefully he's still interested. 

The funny thing about girls is.....

We're crazy. Yesterday morning I woke up half an hour earlier than usual to do my hair, packed my make up (so I would look fresh when I saw him) and even brought a change of clothes with me. I'm glad boys don't see those little things we do to keep ourselves looking great haha! 

So... Now the question is "What the heck did you do last night?"

Typically, I would say I went to the gym, but that's not the case.

Truth is, I was bummed out. Now I have to wait 2 more weeks to see this guy I like, hope he still likes me when he comes back, and wonder if he's even interested. Brutal.

So I did what any normal person would do! Drank. 

Maybe not the smartest idea.... I ended up drinking more than my little body liked and I had to get a friend to come pick me up haha. 

Classy? Of course. At least I didn't drive right?

This is not a usual thing for me I swear, I actually don't drink very often.

Regardless, I made it into work today despite my actions last night!

Love ya'll

Sometimes & Always #21

Sometimes; I'm terrified to step out of my comfort zone

Always; I do because that's where magic happens and progress is made

Sometimes; People look at my dark hair and make up and tell me I look like I'm from Jersey Shore

Always; I take it as a compliment. Who doesn't want to look like a rock star or celebrity?

Sometimes; I hate being single

Always; I realize I'm a very busy girl and really don't have time for someone I'm not 100% on

Sometimes; I wish I was naturally really skinny

Always; I remember skinny is not sexy, healthy is

Sometimes; I get really excited about a new boy

Always; I try to keep my composure! 

Sometimes; You try to bring me down with you 

Always; I pick you up when you fall 

I hope you guys are enjoying the week! We are one day closer to the weekend already :)

BIG NEWS; This just in. 

As you may have seen from yesterday's post... I have a new love interest haha

"Boy" asked me out tonight :) 

Well technically he asked yesterday haha, but the date is tonight!

So dinner and drinks, and tomorrow all the details haha! 

Wish me luck ladies, he's going off to work (out of town) for 2 weeks tomorrow!

Happy Eastaaaah

Good Morning my loves!

I hope you guys all had a great weekend, and I'm slightly jealous of those of you who have today off!

I got back from Victoria on Thursday night, and to my surprise I had a cute boy waiting for me in arrivals...

This was completely unexpected but cute none the less. 

Long story short: My cousins boyfriend, has been trying to set me up with his friend.... "Boy" and I have been texting for awhile now, and he was in town so he just showed up to the airport! We spent the evening laughing and drinking, and I have hopelessly fallen for his charming good looks. GRAND. Now I'm trying not to be the crazy 24/7 text queen, so far so good. Still not sure if another date is in my future, but let's cross our fingers just in case :)

On a lighter note, the rest of the weekend was sort of weird... hahah

This would include painting my truck (don't ask haha) lunch dates, drinking at 5pm, trying on random hats at a bar, and some "female entertainment" or strippers as I call them. Not too sure why I ended up at the strippers, but it did end up with me seeing a "friend" from highschool. When I say "friend" I really mean "Very popular girl that had more money than she knew what to do with, and I really didn't think she knew who I was" BUT she sure did on Saturday night when she was telling me I looked "hot" and hugging me as if I were her long lost sister. Random, I know. Still unsure of how I end up in these situations. 

Here is me... with the random hat on haha

Sunday was great, I had a photo shoot with an engaged couple (pictures to follow) and they are very excited for me to do their wedding photos in August! 

Mike and Mel's Engagement shoot!

They were just too cute for words!

I'm a sucker for Black and White!

She's not a model but she definitely could be :)

One of my faves :)

So there ya have it! My weekend, plus a few of the engagement photos I did yesterday! 

Happy Monday!

Day 1 @ Audi School

Well folks, I'm through day 1 of training now!

It was absolutely amazing! 

As you can see by my last post, they put us up in a beautiful resort, and all the training has been here so far!

This morning we had class, followed by a break for snacks and then....a 3 course lunch!

Really? 3 Courses? We had options for what we wanted for each course, and it was TO DIE FOR!

I had:

Bruschetta with swiss cheese

then

Salad with pecans, apples, chicken, and a balsamic dressing

then

Blackberry Cheesecake

Really? This is work? I would come everyday to training haha

After this we had class for a bit longer, and then cocktails.... yes a cocktail hour midway through the afternoon! Then more classes and off at 4! 

We were then told to be at dinner at 7, another 3 course meal I would assume!

So we go up to our rooms to find gifts....

As if this whole trip wasn't a gift in itself!

We got:

Signed, leather bound notebooks

Audi Towel

Magazine (of your interest, which they had asked over the phone)

and snacks!

I must be dreaming if this is work, and to think... When I leave tomorrow night I have 3 days off!! 

Life is hard haha!

I hope you guys are enjoying your week!

Me being a dork haha

Gifts!

Welcome to Brentwood Bay Resort & Spa

Well Folks I've arrived! I'm now in Victoria, British Columbia!

I don't have a ton of time for a post right now, my friend Paul is coming to pick me up for dinner and some wandering around in Vic! I did however want to show you guys how beautiful this place is! I am so very proud to work for my employer, and ever so grateful that they put us up in places like this for business trips! I will take more photos and fill you guys in on the trip more tomorrow :) 

Gorgeous view from in the bathroom

Dear Monday...

Dear Monday;

Thank you for gracing me with your beauty.....not!

Although it is nice out today, I am not loving this Monday just yet.

Thus, I bring you my Monday letters!

Dear customer: Thank you for ever so politely expressing that you do not wish to hear about your vehicle from me because I am of the female gender. The sad thing is, I know more about your stupid piece of junk car than you do. So thank you for reminding me yet again that evolution has not changed as much as we may think, and you'd like someone of the male species to contact you in regards to your car. P.S. You're an asshole a completely incompetent human being.

Dear Victoria: I am looking forward to coming to see you tomorrow! I cannot wait to enjoy that lovely jacuzzi tub!

Dear shin splints: Sorry I kicked your butt yesterday with my workout, but please don't penalize me for trying to whip you into shape!

Dear friends that overlook me: You're welcome for being there for you all the time. Don't worry about not including me in your plans or inviting me out. I had no problem eliminating you from my life!  It was actually a lot easier done than said! 

On a lighter note, my body is sure changing and I am LOVING the results!

I hope you guys all have a wicked awesome Monday! 

<3 Jessica

Livin the Goodlife!

I took this photo today (yes I edited it a little to stand out more) This was in paint on a bridge that we were walking over. The cool thing is, I have "Love the life you live...xo" tattooed on my left foot! So of course I thought this was pretty rad and had to snap a pic!

As requested by Ess, here is the pic of my tattoo!! 

Happy Sunday all you bloggers! I hope you all enjoyed a lovely weekend and are ready to kill it (with kindness of course!) this week!

I had a great weekend!

Friday night, I went and hung out with my "French Connection" boys, they're all from Quebec and Montreal, hence why I call them my French Connection haha! We had fun, hung out drank beer, and chilled. Perfect night for great company!

Saturday I hit the gym as usual, no surprise there haha! Then I went for beers with a friend at Original Joe's which is a trendy little bar, with THE BEST beer ever! It's called "Blonde Lager" for all you Barbies (whom I love) You may not like beer, but hey! It's named after you <3

Then I went off to see my french boys again, and spent the night hanging out. 

Now I do have one small confession/rant! I had a friend, heck he was my best friend, his new/old girlfriend is back in the picture and of course she doesn't like me so he has now been banished to talk to me and he "hates" me. For what it's worth, I know he doesn't but girlfriends seem to have this super power.... I hate this. We have mutual friends whom I hang out with and I do not appreciate text messages telling me I'm not allowed to hang with my boys. Not cool bro. Get over yourself, and get rid of the dumb broad that is costing you friendships!

Sunday was a big day though! My bestie and I climbed the stairs at Memorial, up and down and up and down time and time again.... Kill me now, I'm still not sure how she got me to do that!! Memorial Stairs for all you bloggers not from here, are the biggest, longest, most heart throbbing stairs of my life. Basically its about 15 sets of stairs, multiply that by 10 times up and down, and you've got me.... pouring sweat and starving, with shin splints haha! It's all for health though right? My blog keeps my mind healthy, and working out keeps my body healthy. After the stairs, we ventured off downtown for a few hours (didn't realize we had walked 30+ blocks to find a nice place to eat haha) We had the best salads!! Spinach, strawberries, goat cheese, pecans, and a lovely dressing! Oh to die for! After that of course we had to find our way back to the stairs, and climb them one last time to get back to the car. I was so done by this time haha! Silly me decided to go tanning after that as well! 

All in all, it was a great weekend with great friends and very relaxed (other than those dang stairs!)
