Where is That Girl?!

I'm back.

My life has been so busy this week! It was homecoming week, and apparently the week all the teachers decided to make everything due (rude).

Where have I been for the past three days?

• Day 1 of Disappearance: The Homecoming Game. I went to the homecoming game after stuffing myself with Mexican food at El Carizo. All of the girls on homecoming court were gorgeous! {Congratulations to Hannah Henderson for being the most fabulous homecoming queen}. After the game, I had to make my costume for movie day. It was a late night.
• Day 2 of My Blog Hiatus: Movie Day and Pacelli Game. Friday was movie day at our school for the final day of homecoming week. I dressed up as a minion from Despicable Me because they pretty much embody everything I am. Then, I went to the Pacelli- Greenville football game with Trevor. {70-30 Go Vikings!} Another perfectly wonderful day!

• Day 3 of Blog Respite: Homecoming Dance. Well, before I got to go to the homecoming dance, I had to go to work. I work at The Kiddie Shoppe (a children's clothing store- post to follow). Luckily, I love my job, so it was perfectly wonderful. After work, my stepmom surprised me with a spontaneous trip to the nail salon. My friends Remi and Olivia came over to get ready and help me become beautiful. I went to dinner with Trevor and the girls at The Loft. Then, we danced to the wonderful music by DJ Will Ard. Overall, the night was perfect. {Millions of thanks to my favorite guy, Trevor, and my wonderful friends.}

Today, I am taking a break. I'm having a Halloweentown movie marathon with my step-mom and sister. We're loading up on junk food and staying in our pajamas. I'm in recovery from the busyness of the week [a much deserved break].

And I apologize for deserting my poor blog! Sometimes, you just have to take a break and let life happen. I have so many good, meaningful things I know I'm going to write about. They're important things though, so I want to take the time to make them good.

*Quick Update: In all he craziness of this week, I wasn't able to run. I ate healthy food all this week, though! I wasn't able to resist the temptation of chocolate today. I went a solid five days without it. {that has to be some kind of record for me}

Anyways, I'm back. More blog fun blog things to follow!

On the 7th Day...

She rested.

Just kidding. I can't rest. Instead, I decided to write a list of goals for my blog (or for having a blog).

1. Never complain about being bored. Now I always have something to do!I can find something to write about and go with it.
2. Write something every day. Writing something I was thinking or something I did is a really good way to end the day (or so I've discovered).
3. Entertain people? Okay, this might not be the most entertaining blog, but maybe some people will enjoy reading about my life and the various other things I write about. Maybe it will inspire you to write a blog.
4. Think about things more. Now I have to think about things I want to write about and how I want to say them, but I also want to think about new things and develop an opinion on them.
5. Learn about something new! Learning is always fun. Sometimes, I just want to look something up to know more about it. Now I can write down the things I find! (this one kind of goes with #4)
6. Be spontaneous! I have a tendency to plan everything (or at least I try to). Hopefully, this will help me to let go of that obsessive planning and try new things.
7. Have a better outlook on life in general. I think this will help me to organize my thoughts more and possibly (hopefully) make me happier in general... it has so far!

So, a few of those were pretty nerdy... but so is having a blog.

People keep asking what my blog is about and why I decided to start one. The answer is just because I wanted to. I wanted to do something new and fun. I wanted to think and write more. I want to be happy.

I love it. I'm pretty happy with everything right now. Merry October!

The Title (explained)

Day 2! 

"Who's that girl? It's Jess!"  

Everyone should know the theme song of Zooey Deschanel's show, New Girl. It's basically the theme song of my life.  

I love it (sadly they changed the time to 9.... way past my bedtime).

{Short rant: Why is Zooey Deschanel so perfect?! Look at her hair.} 

Obviously, that's where I got the name for this beautiful blog. I think it's a pretty good title though because, well, who am I? Who am I to write a blog? WE'LL FIND OUT.


So far, I've made fun of myself a few times for making this blog and I've had several doubts about it. Maybe I'm crazy. I guess I'm sort of bored. I think it'll be good for me though! I need a way to write down the things I'm thinking, and the few people who continue to read this can keep up with my life and other random things.  I may end up writing about things that happened to me or things I cooked... or just whatever I come up with.


Stay tuned! Tomorrow won't be about writing a blog. It'll be something FUNNER. 


(Also, in case you didn't catch on, the "Jessie- The Girl" part in the URL is a reference to the song 'Jesse's Girl' since everyone loves singing that to me)

i have a blog.

I HAVE A BLOG. 

Why do I have a blog? That is a very good question. I guess there could be a lot of answers. I really just need to feel like I'm doing something, and I like to think this will keep entertained for a while. We'll see.

I don't really know what I'm going to write about on this blog yet. Let's just call it spontaneity. I'll try to keep up with it though. I'll just write down whatever I'm thinking.

Now that we can all see I have no idea what I'm doing, let's talk about me for a second (that seems like a thing people do when they get blogs). Don't worry. I won't talk for long.

• I was born in February, National Chocolate Month.
• I get really excited about things (birthdays, blogs, etc.)
• I'm interested in a million different things, so I have no idea what I want to do. I'm beginning to realize it's okay not to have a plan (like this blog, for example).
• I always have a plan. Refer to the bullet above this. 
• Sometimes I work out. Sometimes I eat my whole kitchen.
• I like to think I'm talkative and fun. I can be pretty moody sometimes though (sorry, I'm a teenage girl).
• I need to do my homework...

Alright, talking about myself is more difficult than I expected.

I HAVE A BLOG. 

So, to my 2.5 readers, I hope you enjoy this. It may end up being a collection of my random thoughts. Maybe I'll actually write something worth reading. I'll probably even post a few pictures along the way. The goal is to just document my life (or something in it) at least once a day. My life gets kind of crazy sometimes though, but SPONTANEITY. 


Wish me luck!
