. . Jennie's World*

So I am not sure about everyone else but this year has been amazing, hope it is for everyone else as well! I have been nothing but positive (which was my New's Years Resolution) and things have been just amazing. I haven't been up to much yet doing some amazing things at the same time. I have three different walks in the works!, still madly-in-love with my beloved* & Aidan, have become better friends with Miss Kolleen, Rileigh is turning 1 this month, two of my oldest/dearest friends are getting married, one of which is pregnant & is making me an auntie!, lost the names/numbers/knowledge of those horrible people I surronded myself with in 2008, and have surronded myself with old, great friends & a bunch of awesome new ones. I undestand it's only 22 days into the new year but the whole 'starting off on the right foot' thing I believe is huge, if you begin something, anything! on the wrong foot or with bad thoughts I believe things will just have a snowball effect & get worse! So for my beliefs I feel this will be my year! Nothing spectacular needs to happen, just a great year is all I want, way less drama & upsetting days. So here are a few things that I have done thus far into the Positive 2009! And lots more to come, mainly within the first 6 months LoL so I'll be a busy bee next few months doing fabulous things with fabulous people & just enjoying the life I have & love. Ciao* fellow bloggers, always cheer to 2009, it's only great if you make it that way, things could always be worse than they are.

I finally got my tattoo! yay* hurt like heck tho.

Love the man I am with & he loves me too. Love you James Steven.

I got a new do!

I am catching up on my sleep & snuggle time! LoL

Hanging with the two awesome fellas in my life, my beloved* & Aidan

Just spending time with those great fellas, indoors! It's been cold here.

So again, I know it's hard (trust me I know) to find the silver lining & understand that things could always be worse. To try your best let things just roll of your shoulders, take a minute if you need it & just enjoy the life & people you have. Things will only be good if you let them be!

. . . to exciting changes & events to take place!

No 17 :: What to Discuss

So this morning, I honestly have nothing to blog about. I have nothing to "b!tch" about this morning, no hot topics heard on the radio to discuss, nothing "wrong" or "bad" with myself & my life at the moment (besides this cold I can not get over) so rambeling my brain I could not think of anything except the man I am in love with. As difficult of a man as he is, aren't they all sometimes?! I love him to death. He has supported me, trusted me, been by my side, & just loved me for me and I wanted to thank him with a blog devoted just to him, so here is to my beloved* James Steven, you drive me nuts, but it's a good nuts. We both have been through some bad relationships, tough times with loved ones & just waited for that person to come along & be our person for each other, and I am so glad that we not only found each other but that we are each others' person. I put together a collection of some of my favorite pictures of him, some I snagged from others & some are my own but I love him & he means the world to me, here's to James Steven, my beloved*, my person don't listen to those negative voices that surrond you & tell you lies, we are all difficult/lazii & just blah at times & you are an amazing man, boyfriend, lover, friend, & father! Just keep up the good work.

this was our first Sox game, it was so cold & rainy but we had a blast.
haha. my birthday he hates karaoke but went for me! and laughed with/at me.

our summer vacation to plimouth plantation, i was such a tourist & he was great with me.

the breast cancer awareness walk 2008, rock your sox team! always supporting me.

just being a goof. that is why i love him so, he doesn't take things too seriously.

looks so handsome all dressed up!

young & skinny. glad we got out of that phase.

love you in your glasses, you should wear them more often.

I just wanted to write this blog to devote one whole blog to the man I love, who stole my heart & ran with it, not away but just ran LoL. Everyone now-a-days seem to take their loved ones for granted, or don't just do something extra to let them know how much they mean to them & I just wanted to let my beloved* know how much he means to me, how much I love him & to know that he is an amazing man just as he is (minus a few quarks LoL jk babe). None of us are perfect but our imperfections together work together to make us great together!

James Steven, my beloved* I love you!

Day No 14 :: NaBloPoMo

Day No 7 :: Mock Thanksgiving & Misc

Good morning fellow bloggers! Hope everyone is well, I am feeling so much more better this morning, still extremely sore but slowly getting better everyday, bet those meds the doc gave me are the reason! LoL BUT! I am here to tell you a little more about my "Mock Thanksgiving" I am having at the end of the month. I myself am shopping, preping, & cooking it all, I imagine my beloved will help me out but I am doing it all mainly on my own, which I am so excited about! First big meal on my own, in my own place & I can be like BAM! this is all brought to via Jennie La* wahaha. So this is what I'm thinking, just really good food, nothing Thanksgivingy, seeing as how it is at the end of the month & everyone (except James Steven) will have had enough of stuffing, turkey & all the other stuff we eat that one day a year. So my menu is going to look a little something like this, unfortunately I have a million ideas running through my head. What will go good together, oh but I like this dish, so there will be lots of tweeks & changes coming up but here is my rough draft. ((oh and it is going to be a maybe a four or five course dinner, again can't decide on what I exactly am doing))

"MOCK THANKSGIVING" Menu

Appetizer

Pomodoro Fresco Sourdough Bruschetta

Salad

A salad I make myself LoL no name, field greens, toasted nuts, tomatoes, goat cheese

Starches

Tortellini, Baked Mashed Potatoes w/Parmesan Cheese & Bread crumbs

Vegetables

Corn, Green Beans & Broccoli w/Cheese

Main Course

((two options))

BBQ Spiced Chicken, Salsa Salad & Pumpkin-Chipotle Poltena

-or-

Roasted Chicken w/Roasted Garlic Sauce & White Trffule Oil w/Herbed Potato Puree

Dessert

Pumpkin Roll Cake

Drinks

Bud Light, White Zinfandel, Water, & Assorted Sodas

So there is my "Mock Thanksgiving" menu & it is again only a rough draft so I am not sure which main course I will choose, or if something will be added or subtracted, I was thinking of doing a soup instead of a salad, due to the fact it's cold outside but again I am so indecisive. If anyone has any opinions, other great dish options, please send them! I am so excited for this event, I am going to try and get the boys to dress up a little, LoL good luck to me.

But in other news! I am feeling better but still bummed at the whole situation, and extremely sore. I have a strict, "no caffeine, limit smoking, & 'healthier' food choices" which completely sucks! But in order to get me into better spirits, my dearest friend Val is bringing me Mexican food tomorrow & I am going to try and get over to Old Navy, they are having a great sale 50% off all outwear & scarfs, hats & gloves are only $1! So of course my butt is getting up & over there. But my beloved* is spending the entire day Sunday with me in bed, LoL yeah he doesn't let me do crap at home & snuggling which I will not complain about at all. And then Monday back to the grind but after work, the rockin' Kolleen may potentially be coming over to make me some rad tea & "playing makeup" LoL I love it, playing makeup at 23 & 26 never gets old! But that is all for today, please fellow bloggers, I know I follow some rad cooking blogs, send your input & other dish options, or even easy drink options that you may know. All is welcome! Ciao*

First Day of the New

So today is November 5th, first day of the new :: Mr. Obama is going to be the 44th President of USA & I am so excited, last night was absolutely horrible for me (will go into more details about that in a bit) but all I kept asking was updates on the election & saying "after all of this bullsh!t Obama better win" Yes I voted for the fabulous Obama! But I am praying that he can fix some things that need some major attention & fixin'. January 2009 is going to be the beginning of what I think is going to be a great year, the economy & whole spirit of USA is down and there is only one place to go, up! Also, my beloved* & I have lots of plans for us that should begin next year & hopefully begin moving (not literally moving but moving in the direction towards being done). Also, two of my dearest/longest friends are both getting married! To fabulous men that I know will not only love, take care & honor them but are great guys and I actually like them a lot, so I am extremely excited for those coming up plus I am in both weddings! Yay for me, and also eek for me, my dearest friend Julie has made me her maid of honor, which I am completely stoked/terrified of being, I am afraid of being the worst maid of honor but I know me and I know I will do great! LoL But one wedding if here or a destination wedding she isn't definite on either, but Julie's wedding is a destination wedding and seeing as how my beloved* & I want to go on a real vacation this year going to her wedding will kill two birds in one stone. I, for some crazii reason, can not remember exactly where we're going but it's somewhere in the Caribbean and I have never been and I am so excited. The Caribbean, my beloved*, my dearest friend, her wedding & lots of drinks, sun & fun what is there not to be excited for? LoL

But last night, was the worst night ever! My beloved* and mother pretty much forced me to go to the ER last night, which turned out to be a fabulous idea but it was horrible. I was in a crazii amount of pain, the were doing horrible tests which was absolutely horrible, hello! already in pain and then you're poking & primping the area that hurts! hello, please stop or give me meds! Which in fact I got morphine & some trepamean crap that was great! LoL (fyi I am absolutely hilarious on a morphine high, lots of fun after I got that IV) but before that I was a nightmare, at one point James Steven asked me if I was going to shoot firebreath out at the nurse? LoL yeah I am highly intense when put in a hospital, poked with needles, and poked with all those other instruments of "torture" but I am a million times better today & feeling absolutely great, put on "couch" or "bed rest" for the next few days, which for those who know me is going to be seriously difficult, I have no idea how to relax, de-stress, or just sit for a moment. But my beloved* is monitoring what I am doing at all times, LoL, and I am seriously nothing! LoL So that is all for today, I am going to put my butt back on the couch and catch up on our shows! Gotta love Jen & James Steven time, I know I do!! Until tomorrow fellow bloggers, here's looking to the First Day of the New! Go Obama & 2009.

Day # 2.

So it is November 2nd which means it is now day no 2 in the "National Blog Posting Month" but I love using the acronym NaBloPoMo! LoL So today was a very . . typical Sunday for me. Got up late, went food shopping, hung with my beloved*, picked up the lil man Aidan, where we hung out with my parents had some yummy turkey dinner & now I am back home. Hanging with Kim, Aidan & Lilly waiting for my beloved* to come back home to me & snuggle so during that time I figured I would blog, seeing as how I am going to be persistent & accomplish my goal of doing this blogging everyday during the month of November. On the 30 minute ride from Methuen to my parents house in Malden Aidan & I chatted a lot, he was very upbeat & full of energy today. We chatted about Halloween, and how his mom was getting married next Halloween & it was going to be an even bigger Halloween than normal, and it will be very exciting! We discussed what we wanted to write in our Santa letters, and how we both decided we wanted the fabulous Wii for Christmas. We also sang some fabulous songs, he is a real rocker! Then upon our arrival we had two dogs, a cat, a crazii old man, goofy old lady & tall "pinhead" to welcome us. Aidan loving horror, was full of excitement for the pinhead mask & had to have it on immediately! Then my father, Dutch (the pitbull), myself & Aidan went to the park and spent at least an hour there, where Aidan made a cute little friend Amanda! Absolutely adorable she was, and they had a blast but of course all good things much come to an end and we went home. Then we had a fabulous turkey dinner & the boys played around and we came home, and here we are. Blogging to meet the quota of at least 30, being 30 days in November & I will meet it, oh yes I will! But my beloved* James Steven is home & I need/want my attention & I am off, technically whether this blog was rather interesting or not I blogged today & I will be back tomorrow, maybe with some more interesting news, just an update of my day or just some random rants & rave who knows! Until then fellow bloggers, until then.

calm after the storm

So it is the morning after the marvelous Halloween, which seems kind of like the morning after a storm. Limited amounts of activity going on; everyone is very groggy, hungover, looking seriously run-down with their bags under their eyes, left over makeup from the night before, and horrible breaths from the alcohol that was drunk the night before. LoL I love it. Luckily I am only in the groggy category. Had lots of fun & a very scarey moment with little miss Rileigh Marie* in the car where we had our own Exorcist scene! Luckily she is fine & was laughing her butt off the second everyone (mainly me) calmed down, cutest little sh!t ever scared the sh!t out of me. And I thought I'd take this oppurtunity to blog a little thing about people. And how mainly they all suck! Why is that if you're a busy woman, taking time to be with your family, you just moved into your own place (with a loved one, sorry if you wanted us to fail!) so you have to clean house, do laundry & at least play an adult, of course being a typical American you have to work 40 hours Mon-Fri for the paycheck. So you have limited amount of time to just "hang" but you make time to hang with people & they totally ditch you but ditch you in a rude jack@ss way. WTF. Seriously, what did I do to you? I'm sorry I am still with my beloved* & we live together & we are doing just fabulous, you seriously wanted me to fail with what I believe, no I am sure is the man of my dreams? Seriously, friend, seriously? Why is they don't give you a little leaveway? My mother wasn't doing well a few weeks back so I was devoted to being by her side with whatever she needed, horrible person there! I am now not doing well myself & not really doing much, things I have to do; laundry, cleaning house, cooking (got to eat), working because again I am working for the paycheck, horrible person again there! And I am limited to what I can do because my beloved* James Steven isn't allowing me to do much, which is probably the best thing but seriously? How am I such a horrible person? I just don't know about people anymore, you think you know some people they completely blow your mind when you are having a difficult time and actually need them around, with horrible words & phrases that once said you can not take back & act like you are the most horrible person in the world & did such horrible things to them. Why is it if a person gets engaged, married, has kids in that order it's okay for them to venture off & do their own thing but if a young woman moves in with a man & he has a child & it's not the "typical situation" or "typical order" of things everyone's up in arms. It's my life people, did we forget that? I love my situation, yes my beloved* was married, had a child & did the whole thing but they are divorced, taking care of their child together & it does not interfer in mine & my beloved*'s relationship. The mother of Aidan is a rockin chick, she is very nice, always means well & isn't involved in mine & my beloved*'s relationship she is involved with her son Aidan and that's it. I mean her & I get along so we chit chat & converse but seriously, is that a bad thing? We are going to be involved in each other's life . . . pretty much from now on until one of us dies (not wishing anything just stating the obvious) LoL so wouldn't it make life & be good for everyone if we did get along? Jeesh. And my beloved* is devoted to both Aidan & I, I don't know how he juggles both of us because we are both extreme & have lots of energy LoL, but he does it & I am happy. Isn't that all that matters? So people being b!tchy & mean & rude when 1. they don't know what's going on with my family & my health, 2. I am happy and being my friend or people in my life shouldn't that make you happy and 3. get the hell off your high horse, yes I have been busy so sue me! Everyone gets busy and ditches out a few times, and I was always there for everyone, now you're all ditching me. Whatever, I have enough real life stress going on I can not afford to stress over this petty crap, that obviously won't change. So I am just basically ranting & raving about how I can not stand the fact that people suck! I said it in a previous blog, does anyone ever really wonder what's going on with someone anymore? People I work with who only know me at work can even tell I am not myself & have been asking, with real concern, as to what's going on with me. So where are you? Why are you being such a snob & being completely unreasonable.
So I guess I will end this rant with hope everyone nutures their hangovers, left over makeup & grogginess so they can make it through the day. Halloween is over, but that only means we have 364 days to get ready for next year! So start preparing! It comes very fast, and here's to the upcoming holiday season! Thanksgiving, Christmas & New Years! Love them all.

Story Behind my Name

So being the fact that work is absolutely dead this morning, and this is just the beginning of the slow season, barf! I am extremely bored, strung up on caffeine & need to do something with my energy so I will blog yet again today! So I will tell the story behind my blog website, http://www.classybroad-spaz./ I got the "classybroad" from my beloved* James Steven I seriously am a clown. I burp, say silly things, am a serious blonde chick, & just overall seriously weird chick, and he always comments to me when I do this funny things "you're a classybroad love" LoL and the "Spaz" portion started a long time ago (and also from recently) back in middle school my OCD seriously started to kick in & I would Spaz out if things weren't perfectly lined & in their places, so my friend Skitch starting calling me Spaz! And of course being that my OCD has worsened over the years that only means that my Spazzing has only gotten worse! LoL so my beloved* not knowing any of my childhood friends, well a select few he does but not this particular friend, called me Spaz as well! so I sat there looking at a blank computer screen wondering . . what do I want my own personal website to say? What do I want people to know me as, seriously sat and of course had a blonde moment & couldn't think of a thing. Until bam! while texting my beloved* I said something & he of course said "babe, you're a classybroad!" So I just knew that that was what I wanted my website to be! CLASSYBROAD-SPAZ because that is me, not only am I THE classiest broad you will ever meet, I am also a huge spaz & can seriously wig out & make people laugh at my own expense! LoL
So I just thought I'd share that funny story with you, but just an fyi not only does James Steven make me spaz out all the time, I am great at doing it to him as well. He thinks he is so slick but I get him all the time & he is WAY funnier to see spaz out! Loves baby, nothing but loves!
That's all for today, promise! = )

LaLa Land

Okay. I am way beyond happy & excited about life right now.
So I am offically out of my parents house, living in Methuen & with my beloved* James Steven Mcg, could things be any better? Seriously. (( besides the fact that i am not as organized as i would like to be & having things where they belong & set in their place )) things are fabulous! We are absolutely amazing, things are looking fabulous in the apartment, and we even went out and got Aidan some belongings! Which he has yet to see but he gota bunch of new stuff, a new Transformers bed! from his papa & we got him new clothes, and socks & big boy undapants! He's going to be so excited! And this weekend, we are going to finish up the final touches, unfortunately we both have been so busy with work & having aidan & our fabulous families just dropping in to say "hi" so Friday night we will have aidan but it'll be his first night his Transformers bed! and most of Sat but Sat night we will try to fit in :: cleaning, organizing, cleaning out the closet, putting stuff back in the closet, and laundry & somehow sit down and enjoy each others' company with a movie!? HaHa I know I know. And then of course Sunday Oct 5, 2008 is the "MAKING STRIDES AGAINST BREAST CANCER AWARENESS" walk!! Begins at 8a but luckily our "ROCK YOUR SOX" team is proactive & not only has raised $1185 (( $185 over our goal )) but we also pre-registered & have our team tee shirts so we just need to show up & ROCK OUR SOX on the 5.7 mile walk. Seriously I don't think I could more excited or proud of our team!
But the whole point of this blog was to apologize to everyone (( especially Ryan )) for the delay on the pictures from Aidan's 4th birthday & the Weezer concert! I am seriously slacking, the moving, working & attempting to see my beloved* it's been hard, and I honestly don't even know where the cable is for the camera & our internet service in our aptarment is poof! fineto! donezo! LoL But that is all for today a small update on my crazy world, there will be more to come later in the week, lots going on & of course WAY MORE after my fabulous walk on Sunday!

Today's the Day

So today is the day! Today I have finally gotten myself a "blog" and joined the millions of people who do it, love it and talk about it all the time ((i need to go home and blog about this)) LoL never understood it until today. I have a lot to talk about and such little time on my hands to do it.

I have finally found the man of my dreams! His name is James Steven and is an absolute diamond in the ruff, and he is all mine. I am finally moving out of my parents house in with him! I couldn't be more excited, we're starting it off slow ((LoL if there is such a thing)) due to the fact most people get crazii, mean, lazii and stupid when living with not only a loved one but a person of an OCD stature. Yeah I have a little OCD, I need things clean, in their places and neat! When living with a person it's not such a bad thing, I think LoL. So I have begun the packing process and man do I seriously hate it. What to take? What to leave? DO I really need this, well I may wear it if this, this or this happens. LoL women! But I def will being needing ceratin items, and he is 100% down for whatever I want to do, not that I'm demanding or asking for much. I am just so stoked about this whole "MOVING DAY" event. I have such big things going on all at once, and I think I am handling it. I am seriously the shiznet.

First and for most I am the captain of this most fabulous team "ROCK YOUR SOX" for the Making Strides Against Breast Cancer walk on October 5th, 2008 here in Boston. And this being the first walk I do ((i do a few)) that I am completely and utterly in charge of. I decedied on a whim one night while watching t.v. with my beloved* after seeing a commercial about the walk and I looked at him immediately jumped over the computer and signed myself up! LoL literally signed up alone, by my lonesome. My beloved* kind of chuckeled due to the fact I did sign up alone but I knew my friends & family and knew someone would join me. Turns out I was way more than right. Not only did 22 of my co-workers, family & fabulous friends sign up but in less than 2 weeks we have raised over $770. OH SNAP* Seriously, we got 6 different companies to sponsor us and donate money and 4 of them donated their logos for our team tee shirts! YES! I am having team tee shirts made ((i did steal the idea from my aunt)) but hey! it's for a great cause leave me be! LoL and I am so stoked about getting the shirts back. This really rad dude from supersportusa.com Mark is making my shirts and promises some awesome tee shirts. And I actually spoke with him today and he said the fronts of the tees are "rocking" he actually term! There is also this awesome lady Jill from the ACS ((american cancer society)) who has been calling me and checking up on me to make sure I don't need any assistance and is watching the teams' progress and is so happy with what we've done. So kudoos to us!

Another thing I have going on at the moment is my beloved's* son, Aidan Matthew, is turning 4 on Sunday and we not only get him on his birthday but we are throwing him an awesome "Star Wars" themed party. I got cups, napkins, a pinyata, Darth Vader & Storm Troopers masks, goody bags, and the ((def)) most awesomest ((LoL)) cake ever! I went online and got a picture of Star Wars with literally everyone one it! It has all of the movie titles, every single Star Wars movie title, and all the major characters on it. I cannot wait for Aidan to see this cake, he is going to love. OH SNAP* The best part of it all is the candle! I got a Darth Vader candle that SINGS THE DARTH VADER ((bad guy)) MUSIC. Could I be any better at this kid-party planning, seriously? Ah! I am amazing.

And the major reason I am blogging today is. . . life.

What the hell is the meaning of it? God? What the hell is the point of "him"? I am 23 yrs old and have seen some sh!t that no one should have to go through at all let alone at this age. If "God" was so marvelous and can heal anything and fix all of humanities issues why the hell isn't he? Not only are we going through our own personal dramas but the world and humanity as a whole are going through hell. We have global warming, terrorists, people dying of starvation, some people killing themselves because of "their God". What the hell is going on? I am not trying to down those you that may believe in "God" or "Allah" or whoever/whatever you may believe in. I am just wondering what is the method to this madness? What is the "bigger picture"? I just don't get it.

I am not going to be like some bloggers with crazii details of my life and what I did, do and am going through. But one thing is I will b!tch/moan and complain a lot! And trust me I am pretty damn good at it.

And I guarantee there will be a lot of "God" mentioning and humanity drama. What I don't understand, I question and I question it to the fullest. I would just like to understand that's all. I mean to offend none and if I do I'm sorry this is just me ranting and raving about what I feel should be for that particular day.

So welcome to the insanity and awesomeness I call me!

Hope you enjoy my ranting . .
