guilty pleasures

hello all! it's been a while... but i thought i'd drop in and write down the latest list i came up with- my guilty pleasures. i decided that there sure are a lot of them. haha. so let the fun begin. =)

1) the barbie song.
i love the barbie girl song. it's so great... and it just makes me want to rock out. i can listen to that song on full volume in my car and sing along to every word. really, i quite enjoy it. it always makes me so jolly.

2) hannah montana & wizards of waverly place.
this shows are for small children, but i find them to be the best shows of all time. i can always turn the tv to these shows, and they never fail me. i want to be selena gomez when i grow up. who knew i could be jealous of a 13 year old? eh, we all secretly think she's great. haha

3) stalking people.
whether it is watching them and learning everything about their lives at the airport or finding out via facebook, i do it. and so do you, or else you probably wouldn't read my blog. haha.

4) procrastinating.
hey, i am even doing it right now! i love to procrastinate. i can pretend that i hate that habit of mine all i want, but it just isn't true. in fact, some of my best work has come from the wee hours of the night moments before it was due. yay me! haha

5) stealing pickles out of the fridge.
pickles: the most lovely food ever invented. if i live in your house, and the pickles are missing... you know where they went.

6) dancing around the house.
not to mention this is 100 times better with blaringly loud enchanted music... and especially when no one is home!

7) blaring ghetto music on my ipod at byu.
it is so rebellious and so delicious. really! nothing is better than walking through the library at byu with some ridiculously ghetto song playing on full volume. talk about satisfying.

8) making lists.
well, there is more to that. it isn't so unusual for people to make lists. but i make millions of lists. and to top it off, i put things i have already accomplished on the lists... for example on a typical to-do list i will put things like getting up, eating breakfast, and brushing my teeth JUST so i can cross them off. and then i take a break because i crossed three things off of my list and i am practically exhausted.

9) hoping for vending machine malfunctions.
i love when the vending machine accidentally gives you two candy bars instead of one. it happens to me a lot... and it just makes my day.

10) colorful socks.
why wear white socks? really. if no one can see them anyways, you might as well party with yourself and have bright ones. that way you know are cute all the way down to your toes! i don't even wear white socks these days.

11) seventeen magazine.
that magazine is filled with great tips of how to be 13. and i am pretty sure that i will have a subscription until i am 98. i can never learn enough about the jonas brothers or mascara. haha

12) boxes.
most people know this about me. but i will buy cards, just so i can keep the box. there have been several occasions where i haven't even liked the cards... but the box was just irresistable. now that is classy.

13) the dollar section at target.
without fail, i will buy something there. even if i went to target with one focused goal in mind, i will always get sidetracked... and that package of hello kitty pencils turns vital to my existance. really.

i think i should probably wrap up my list now. just so everyone knows, i am off to byu again! let's hear it for the best year ever!!!

con amor, jessica

why life is precious

cakery bakery!

hello friends! so today i am uploading my pictures of my latest adventure-- cake decorating! who knew it could be so fun! like i said before, i signed up for a cake decorating class for august. i had my first class on tuesday. we didn't actually decorate anything, but we learned how to frost. actually, we watched her frost the cake. i was pretty nervous that she was just making it look easier than it was, but i did it! i went home, made my frosting, made my cake- and i frosted it! (the white cake has the homemade frosting- and it is completely smooth) here we go!so yay for cakes! i decided if the economy keeps stinking up things, i will just be a cake decorator! haha! yay for plan b. so yes, life is grand. and i keep on eating cakes. i go back to class on monday and we have to make a rainbow cake. it's not my favorite, but hey it's practice! the cake i want to make is our final... it is soooo pretty. i can't wait! i'll post those pictures when it happens! love you all!

my ideal pet.

hello friends!
lately i have been thinking about dogs and how fun it would be to have one. now obviously i won't be able to get one for a while... but when i do, it had better be good. so i designed this dog in my head, right... just like i design everything in my head. (usually this means it doesn't exist). anyways, i decided that a miniature alaskan husky would be my best bet. alaskan huskies are so cute, but they are so huge! if it jumped on me i would die! and miniature dogs are always cool, except they tend to look like rats! so anyways, the ideal dog is this one...
















they really exist! they can be 15 inches tall, isn't that so cute??? i need it.

so yes, today is the best day ever.
