Back in August of this year, Mandy, Mallory and I went to the Chelsea Handler performance. She was great, as expected, but us girls had some fun of our own... with my camera. 

Check out some of my favorites from the evening:



The following three were total accidents, we really didn't mean to do these solo shots, but they are hilarious:




One of my favorites, good job Mal! 


One of our "good" ones :)

Something they won't ever have to live up too.

0 ♥ Thoughts
I just had to share this as it made me laugh. 
Olga's is offering a FREE OLGA should the Lions beat Green Bay this Sunday.
Ha! They know they will not have to live up to this. 
Gosh, someone there has a sense of humor.

Couldn't be more fitting.

Dear Jennifer,
Here is your horoscope for Monday, December 22:

You're a bit grumpy or down today, but you shouldn't read too much into it. In fact, unless something is obviously bringing you down, you should just write it off as a momentary dip. 

How naughty are you?

1 ♥ Thoughts
Will you be making Santa's nice or naughty list this year?

Well find out here. It has fun questions such as: You're at Mardi Gras and somebody offers you cheap beads to flash your "privates". Everyone else is doing it; would you? (guess my answer!)

And in case you are wondering I got 45% on this quiz... which means:
According to your answers, you stray from the path of purity and innocence with your wayward ways from time to time. This doesn't mean that you're 100% to-the-core naughty - just that, on certain days, you can't resist the temptation to get involved in something a tad on the risqué side. So what stops you from giving in to that temptation all the time? Maybe you draw the line at behaviors that could hurt other people, have personal limits about how far you will go or have simply never been presented with the opportunity to engage in some of these mischievous endeavors. There may be no danger in these occasional "bad" deeds - unless you're hurting someone else, breaking some kind of vow (like fidelity) or setting yourself up for trouble. Consider the consequences of your naughtiness before you indulge, and if it's harmless, have fun! If not, however, think twice!

I think this sounds just like me.

MERRY CHRISTMAS! :)

Me & my dolls

0 ♥ Thoughts
I believe I was about 7 years old here.
I just had to share because:
1.) I am so cute
2.) I think the current hair cut I have resembles the one below very much

ps- who remembers those saddle shoes? My parents ALWAYS made me wear them. I just hated them so.

More 1st grade cuteness

0 ♥ Thoughts
I used to be so adorable. Gosh! 
This is hilarious, it's a paper I wrote about snow. Make sure to read the whole thing, it was so important that I made it to the back of the page.

This is how I saw myself. Gosh, I was hot. 
I just added this because I thought it was hilarious how I didn't know how to spell my last night. Even my teacher circled whatever I wrote and questioned it. Hilarious. 

Getting to know Jenni

0 ♥ Thoughts
A few weeks ago I went over my mom's house and grabbed some of my old time school things. Below is one of my favorites. It is a book I created about me. 

So check it out, this is how I saw myself in 1st grade, HaHa. 

My eyes are blue
My hair is brown
My hands
My feet (did we really do this in class?!)
I like pizza
This is my house
This is my family (before my brother was born!)
Wasn't I cute? And for sure an adorable 1st grader.

3 quarter length sleeves

0 ♥ Thoughts
So I learned about a weird quirk that I have.
That thing is long sleeves.
Okay, so you’re thinking what in the world is this girl talking about?! Well I have this peculiar thing with allowing my arms, wrists mainly, to be covered when I do certain things.
I can’t stand when they are covered when I eat, type, write, drive, work-out, shop, take photos, do manual labor, etc. It’s not like a drive me crazy sort-of quirk, but I definitely think about it.
Proof? Check out this photo of me from our firm’s holiday party. Yes, I know I looked very fancy. But visual aside, as you will see my wrists, well they are showing. HaHa.

What is your quirk?

10 Things We Can't Have Without The Other

0 ♥ Thoughts
  1. Money without Labor - We do not value what we do not earn
  2. Loyalty without Trust - Loyalty with vanish in the absence of trust
  3. Appreciation without Education - We cannot fully appreciate what we do not fully understand
  4. Wisdom without Experience - True wisdom is the product of many life experiences
  5. Power without Checks and Balances - Unfettered power leads to greed and corruption
  6. Business without Sincerity - Crooked businessmen are prison bound... if they're lucky
  7. Success without Sacrifice - Success doesn't find us, we find it
  8. Policy without Justification - Without justification, policy is just another form of tyranny
