I really hate to admit ... BUT I am a HUGE fan of Lady GaGa.
It feels so good to let that out.
Sometimes I think she's too much, and sometimes she creeps me out, but that bitch is talented.
Something about her is so interesting, appealing, catchy, and I just can't get enough.
I'm pretty obsessed with this song/video.
I'm caught in a bad romance.

Seeing People
I was just reading my friend/sisssstterrrrrr's blog. She's a pretty amazing writer and her blog inspires me every time I read it.
Anyway, she wrote an entry about a girl she worked with that recently passed away. Apparently this girl was trying to make her life better from all the mistakes she had made in the past.
And Jess has this to say: allowing myself to see people for who they are today, not yesterday. because i work to be a new person almost every day.
I think I will do the same, Jess. Thank you.

Trust.
Trust is probably one of the most difficult things to do. Trust someone with your life. Trust in a relationship. Trust someone when they tell you everything will be ok. Trust that a coworker will deliver a paper to the appropriate person. Trust someone when they tell you their dog won't bite your hand off.
It's in our daily life, and it never gets completely easy to deal with. To me, trusting someone is one of the most vulnerable things you can do.
It's hard hard work.

Indecisive
Dear Shower,
I hate you. I know that can be harsh, but I've given you six whole months and you continue to disappoint. You don't drain. You can't decide if you want to be scalding hot or luke warm. You can't decide on water pressure. And I basically dread taking a shower every morning. I can't shave my legs. I can't take a warm relaxing shower after a long day because guess what? YOU SUCK!
Please try and shape up or I may have to ship out.
Love,
Jordan

Slipping into the Season
Last night was the first time I've been to Target since the Bubonic Plague 2009. Aaron and I did a little grocery shopping and as soon as I walked in Target, Christmas hit me in the face. I couldn't be happier about it. The dish towels, decorations, picture frames, candy, cards, trees, ornaments ... I can't wait to buy them all. I warned Aaron about how serious I take Christmas. And that our apartment WILL be decorated. He better like it.
Then after oooing and aahhing over every little holiday item, Aaron bought me these slippers as an early Christmas treat. He's the breast.

Oink, Oink
Let me just tell you how much fun having the Swine Flu is ... LOADS. After upper respiratory infection, H1N1, and a sinus infection one after the other, I can now say that I can't think of a better gift than that of a healthy body. I laid on my couch watched tons of talk shows and babies being birthed for two weeks. I think that's the only thing on TV during the day. Lots of babies being birthed. LOTS. And I think I now have a special place in my heart for Kelly Ripa.
Get those vaccinations, guys! Today is the first day in two weeks that I have felt like myself.

Fall Forward
Generally, people associate spring with new beginnings. I like to think that fall is where everything starts fresh. You start school in the fall, new TV shows come on in the fall, and there is just this excitement in the air whenever the temps start to dip a bit.
I don't think spring has anything on fall. I'll take jackets and sweaters over sun dresses and flip flops any day.
Welcome, fall. I can't wait to make the most out of you.

BTW
The no alcohol fast did not last long. Probably two weeks. However, we have significantly cut down on the amount of alcohol we purchase. I just have to have a cold one Fridays after work.

Return of the Jord
Alright, I bet you thought I quit blogging. Turns out, I didn't. I've started and deleted several posts since August 4th. It seems that most of my entries are me talking about not blogging and then making a list of things that have happened. Well, folks, tonight is no different. I just can't seem to get into the groove like I once was. Perhaps that will change. Here's hoping.
So, want to know what's been going on in my life since August 4th? Well, I'll just tell you, in list form, of course.
Most of my time has been spent by participating in wedding activities for my cousin, Jessica. Dress shopping, dress altering, showers, showers, SHOWERS!, and up next a bachelorette party and shoe shopping! Then the wedding. Oct. 24. Mark those calendars. It's going to get wild.
Still have the precious pup. She is still driving me a bit mad. But every day she gets a little bit better. We succumbed to Margot's cuteness/whinyness and she now sleeps with us. Judge if you will, but it works for us. For now.
I had a shitty shitty week a few weeks ago. I won't go into why because if involves someone besides me. But it sucked. And then because said thing sucked my week sucked. And during that sucking week I cried. At a bar. In front of my ex-boyfriend. And his current girlfriend. Cute. I know. Probably one of the most embarrassing moments of my life. I am usually very composed and don't like to cause a fuss or draw attention to myself. But he just happened to ask why I had a bad day, and I just couldn't keep it in for the 2 seconds it would have taken to walk out of the bar. So, he got to hear about my sucky week through the gasps of breath in between ALL THE CRYING! Awkmo to the max.
I was sick for about a month. I am not sure if I was sick because I was down or down because I was sick. At any rate, after 61 shots in my back, and learning that I am, in fact, allergic to most trees, weeds, cats, and pretty much any dust and/or mite found inside your home, I am feeling better. Don't know if it's because I changed my attitude or because of the allergy meds, but life is good. Now, if I could get rid of these dang headaches, we'd be in big time business.
I had the best weekend in a long long list of weekends. One day it was the PERFECT weather outside. I enjoyed it with my pup and some good friends. The next it was a downpour. I stayed in my pjs with Aaron and ate pizza and watched Dexter until 4 in the afternoon. Not to mention I got to see the wonderful JULES! (my old college roommate and yes, her name has to be in all caps with an exclamation point because she's that amazingly fun) for dessert and shopping.
I've fallen in love with Aaron all over again. I know that's tote cheese ball, but it's true. I am just so happy with him. I know I haven't been easy to get along with recently, but he's just had the best attitude and knows I'll get through it. I love him. So, so much.
Oh, and this pretty lady is having a baby. And I can't wait. I've been assigned the task to make a mix cd for her new babe. It's supposed to be music he needs to listen to. Talk about pressure. It's taking me a long time to come up with artists and songs that will fit on one tiny cd.I can't wait to meet you, Merritt.
That's about it. I suppose that was a more detailed list than usual.

No Booze
Starting yesterday, I decided to give up alcohol for a month (with the exception of my dear friend Megan's much anticipated, 21st birthday). After not being able to lose any weight and not saving any money, I thought why not start with cutting out booze. I'll save some dough and hopefully shed a pound or two. I gave myself a month or until I lose the first 5 pounds. Who knows how long it'll last. I sure will miss a nice glass of pinot grigio. It will just have to wait until September.
Aaron decided that he'd like to join in the fun, but we will see how long he lasts.

Waiter Rant
This past Saturday Aaron and I went to my favorite restaurant. Since we are low on funds, we decided going in that we would try and conserve our money and split an entree, and I'd get a salad. Also, after looking at the wine list, alcohol would have to wait until we got home to that $10 bottle of pino grigio in the fridge.
We sat down and was greeted by a nice looking younger gentleman. He took our drink orders of iced tea. I could tell he was a little upset that we did not partake in any alcohol. He brought us our bread and drinks, and we placed our order. The waiter wasn't extremely friendly as I noticed he was with the other tables around us in this intimate restaurant. Our glasses became empty, but he did not come to refill. I got my salad, still no refills. He didn't come to check on us. Our food came out, still no offer for refill, and no scraping the bread crumbs off our table, as I noted he did for another table next to us. Finally I asked for a tea refill. He got another person to take care of it. Not once did he come check on us while we ate our entree. Not once. About 10 minutes after we finished he came to clear our tables. Didn't ask if we wanted dessert, which this place is typically known for. I told him we'd like some with some coffee. He was not nice, not attentive, and just not a good waiter. I believe it was all because two young people were sat at his table on a Saturday night. I looked around an noticed that the place wasn't packed. Had we not sat at his table, he would not have had anyone sit in our spot. He judged us immediately. Thought we weren't good tippers. Little did he know that Aaron and I are very good tippers.
I ended up giving him the benefit of the doubt. Maybe he was having a bad night. Maybe his boss was a jerk. I left him a $5 bill and will take my business across the river to my second favorite restaurant that has just as good food with a little more cost and a lot better service.

Summer 2009
Hip, hip HOOOORRRRAAAAAYYY!
I finally got a cord for my camera. Now, you can see what I've been up to all summer.
Like saying goodbye to this little lady
Seeing the other love of my life
With my adorable mom
Eating at Juans
Throwing a birthday party for this cute boy
Smoking the hooka's regal tip with these fun people
Baseball gaming with my bff
Seeing his awesome face again
Picking blueberries
Getting this precious pup
Pub crawling across Shreveport
And Marshall Fam Vaycraytion 2009
Go here for more pics!

Introducing....
Margot Tenenbaum Marshall Harris
I have better pics that don't involve my face (or crazy hair) and that aren't taken in Photobooth, but I seemed to have misplaced the cord to my computer.
At any rate, Aaron and I just adore Margot ... even when she shits all over the hall, her toys, and herself. She likes to chew on our feet and pants and love to sniff our friendly Mexican neighbors. We've had her for about a month now, and I can't imagine my life without her. I swear, I never thought I'd be one of those people who talked about their pets as if they were human. But, I am.
Apparently everyone who meets her falls in love. You really can't help it.

Spider Monkey
I broke down and started reading Twilight.
A few weeks ago Emily and I watched the Twilight movie, since we had nothing better to do in New Orleans on a Saturday night. I know, we are totally cool. Intrigued, we watched the entire movie. We made fun of the corny lines and fell in love with Robert Pattinson (who wouldn't? he's absolutely GORGEOUS!)
Every time I am in the bookstore, I am always tempted to purchase the book. Then last week a girlfriend (who absolutely loves the series) said I could borrow the books while I was on the beach.
So, I started the book, and I love it no matter how cheesy and ridiculous it is.

slump
I need to start writing some more. A friend from college emailed me the other day and asked me if I still did any writing. My response was if you count my twitter updates ... lame.
I always think in order to write something on here it needs to be entertaining to THE MASSES THAT READ IT. Therefore I will quit writing mid post. Now, I'm going to just write just for me. Blah, see this is boring. But I'm writing.
And nothing gets me in the mood for writing than making a list of things that make me happy.
Sundays.
Criminal Minds.
Hummus.
Lite and Fit Yogurt.
Morning cuddles.
Margot Tenenbaum Marshall Harris.
Reading about pregnancy/labor/parenting even though I do not have a case of baby fever and don't plan on having kids for at least half a decade.
Quoting Twilight.
When my bed is made.
Proposal stories.
Skirts.
Status updates.
Cupcakes.
Mojitos.
Fresh tomatoes.

money, money, money ... MONEY!
I have never been good with money. It always burns a hole in my pocket. Since that first day when I was 16 and my dad took me to get my first checking account until today 9 years later, I haven't learned a thing.
Yesterday I took a look at my bank account balance and it was sickening.
So. I made a decision. One I am going to keep to. I vow to FINALLY be better with my money. I told Aaron to put me on a financial diet. He made me promise to actually go through with what he says and not just think it's a good idea. Also, a friend recommended this site. I am going to give it a try and see how it works.
I have a credit card to pay off. A savings account that needs some major beefing up. A checking account that needs some TLC. And a piece of mind that needs some settling.
This is my solemn vow.
To my dearest friends, this means no more daily lunches out, many trips to El Compadre and India's (although I will miss it so), and weekend shopping trips. I will allow myself some treats now and then. But instead of paying a million dollars on dinner and drinks, why don't we put luck it and save some major bucks?
Help me. Please let me know any financial tips that have helped you. I desperately need it.
This twenty something thing is not as easy as it looks.

moving week
I just had a wonderful idea for a blog entry while going through hangers ... and like that it was gone.
This week is the big move in week -- eek! Sunday we cleaned the apartment from top to bottom. Baseboards and ceiling fans included. My hands were sore the next day from scrubbing. So was my back. And pretty much every other part of my body. But we have a sparkling clean quadplex in the charming/ghetto Highland neighborhood.
Now, I'm going through my tons of clothes, shoes, books, pictures, stationary, dvds, etc, and wondering how on earth this is going to fit. We may not have enough living room furniture, but I am sure we will have more than enough crap.
Our new shower curtain arrives this week, and now we are trying to decide on chairs, rugs, and something to hang over the mantle. That doesn't even include the bedroom and other wall decorations.
All ideas welcome since I am terrible at this.

Aaron David Harris.
Things I've learned about Aaron (pre-move in date):
He doesn't like to do dishes.
He won't go in public in gym shorts, and doesn't think it's "appropriate" if I go to Wal-Mart in pj pants -- even if it's ONLY to pick up ONE THING.
He's very good at finances and budgeting.
He doesn't make the bed.
He always likes to hold my hand.
He will rub my feet anytime I ask him.
He doesn't mind when I don't shave my legs.
He's unexpectedly has a lot in common with my dad.
He likes to eat shrimp tails.
He has the absolute cutest smirk.
He talks to pets like they are human being.
He's not exactly open about his feelings.
He has the best 5 o'clock shadow.
He likes the most disgusting horror movies ever created.
He likes to drive on road trips and when I'm fed up with crazy Shreveport drivers.
He's almost as stubborn as I am.
Have I mentioned that he doesn't like to do the dishes?
And he makes me laugh all the time.

free fun
Aaron and I planned to see King Tut in Dallas last Sunday. We got really excited about it. Budgeted for it ... a little. Sunday came. We got up early and were dressed and ready to go by 9:15 a.m. I got online to check for directions, and I noticed something about buying tickets early. Turns out you can't buy tickets the same day.
We were sad for a second, and then decided to make the most of the beautiful Sunday in Shreveport.
After lunch with his parents, we headed to Riverfront Park where Aaron made me DEFY THE LAW by jumping a fence. We were almost blown away by the wind.
Then azaleas exploded all around Aaron.
And we made friends with a catfish.
Then we found some local celebrities outside the Municipal Auditorium.
After making all those friends, we took a stroll at Norton Art Gallery.
Then we took a drive around Cross Lake and had a snack (guacamole of course) at Cantina Laredo on the porch. Perfect day.
King Tut will just have to wait for a few weeks.

it's official
I'm going to move in with Aaron.
I'M MOVING IN!!!
I told my dad today. It was a very short convo. I think he needs some time to process it. I am extremely relieved.
Aaron and I have been talking about decorating, furniture, and how Aaron needs to learn to pick up clothes off the floor and not leave beard hair in the sink. And I need to learn that if dishes don't get done 2.5 seconds after dinner, IT WILL BE OK!
I'm sure there will be lots of adjustments. But I am very excited. I've never lived with a boy, let alone a boyfriend. I've done lots of thinking about it. It wasn't a decision I took lightly.
I move in the second weekend in May, and I can't wait to tell you all about it.

more updates
1. I am reading this book by this lady. And it's pretty much amazing. I want to be her when I grow up. I could go on and on, but I am just going to leave it at amazing. You'll just have to see for yourself.
2. I'm still obsessed with avocados. Tonight I had a chicken taco (made by my adorable boyfriend) and I put guacamole AND fresh cut avocados on it. THEN I had chips and guacamole as well as chips with fresh avocados on it. Obsessed ladies and gents.
3. I failed to mention on the last update post that I was in a wreck last month. It could have been a very bad accident. I am ok and so is Aaron. Moral of the story is that SEAT BELT SAVE LIVES. Seriously. Buckle up. My body would have been thrown through a windshield had I not been wearing mine.
4. I have been extremely gassy the past two days. It's not like I am a tooting machine or anything. Just gassy. Bleh. I blame MT.
5. I need a good, effective face washing regimen. Any suggestions? Apparently mine isn't cutting it.
6. I keep having dreams about people from high school.
7. I can't remember the last time I felt anxious.
8. Apparently my body hates the sun, and in the past year I have formed some kind of allergy towards those warm rays of golden sunshine.
9. Did I mention I love avocados.
10. I'm tired of hearing about the economy. Let's talk about kittens and sunshine instead.

problem
If they put that drama-queen Tatiana as a wild card pick in the top 12 then I just may give up on American Idol. Maybe not. But I certainly won't be happy about it.
Ugg, I can't stand her face.

Ouchies
It seems that I may have kidney stones. I have to get a CT scan next week to find out for sure. All I know is that I have a dull pain in my side, and I don't feel like dong anything on this beautiful weekend. This blows, and I feel like complaining to anyone who will listen.
Wwaaaaaaaaaaa waaaaaaaaaaaa!
Wwaaaaaaaaaaa waaaaaaaaaaaa!

good read
I'm a pretty big fan of bad TV, but I'm an even bigger fan of people who enjoy it like me. Even if you don't watch these awful shows, you should check out TV Watch section on Entertainment Weekly's website. I really like most of their articles, actually.
Here is a recent post from this week's episode of The Bachelor. I've found the more terrible the show, the better the article.
I particularly like the Grey's Anatomy, The Bachelor, American Idol, and America's Next Top Model's recaps.

hope
So, today was a pretty awesome day. Even though I didn't get a chance to watch the inauguration due to work and meetings, I was excited the entire day. During my workout at lunch I looked up on the TV screen and saw the Obama's walking the Bush's to the helicopter. Then as George Dubya stepped into that helicopter waved his last goodbye, and shut the door, I felt relieved. I think most of the country did.
I'm excited about the possibility of change. It's about time.
I'm proud to be an 'Merican.
