TAMN made me

Hey everyone. It's me, JJWT. Sorry it's taken a few to answer your questions. School is busy. Here you go.

Kerry asked "Is TAMN *REALLY* off diet coke or does she keep sneaking them? When she doesn't have it, is she mean? You have to be honest...it's your JOURNAL."
Haha. Yeah, she's really off it. If by "off it" you mean she has it every day. SNAP-SHAKALAKA! Just teasing. We have a deal. I don't mess with her about her diet coke, she doesn't mess with me about my Rockstar. But H yeah she's mean without it. Just teasing, babe. You know I love you.

Trent asked, "How many other girls were writing you on your mish, seriously?"
Besides TAMN? Hahaha. Four. Well, five if you count TAMN's little sister. Eight if you count the hot sister missionaries, and ten if you count the eager homely sisters. Fifteen if you count the locals. Brazil rocks. I had such a killer mission.

Token Asian Friend asked "How did you know TAMN was THE ONE?"
Honestly, I always thought she rocked. All my friends were into her too. It helped when I saw that her mom was a hot forty. Then, when her dad offered to buy us a house and give me a job after law/biz/med/dental school, it was a pretty big no brainer.

Cristin asked, "What office/city are you guys going to sell pest control/alarm systems/living scriptures for the summer?"
Hahaha. That's what paid for TAMN's ring. Been there, done that, my backend check bought us a trip to Powell. I know it's rough for a lot of people but it rocked for me. Summer sales are awesome. I was district supervisor after 3 weeks. You gotta really want it. I did, so I owned it. The days were long, but I learned a number of life lessons you can read about in my future LDS-themed self-help/business book.

Sue asked, "I'd like to know what you would do if TAMN ever started getting fat. Not that she would. I mean she's TAMN. But what if, like, for the health of the baby or whatever, the doctor ordered her to take weight gainer and she chunked up another seventy-five pounds?"

Gross.

All right, you guys. I know there's a ton more Qs to get to. Keep them coming if you want. I gotta meet my lifting buddies at Golds. I'll answer the rest later though. Keep it real.

taking the hire moral ground

So, decided not to judge Lynzii's brattyness and to rise above her petty ways and include her in MY SHOWER w/ TONS of love. Figure I owe it to the MiaMaid's to keep being the best example ever, even when insensitives in the ward insult my womanhood and excpect me to be all pioneer about it. BUT, including her in my party is fine. Seriously. Fine. Making the invitations was such a win-win bc it #1, the giving helped me hill the sadness and #2 I have an awesome real life example of charity to use in next months lesson!

Front:

Inside:

LOVE love LOVE giving!

Don't forget to call me if you want in on my next card-making supplies partay! :)

Oh. Em. Gosh.

Member a couple months after I was first preggers, how no one offered to throw me a shower so I announced in the good news minute that I was throwing my own??


Well.


Yesterday I was just fellowshipping the cuter MiaMaids into sluffing sunday school to get me a diet coke from Top Stop when the RS prez stopped me in the hall, frownsmiled and then said...

...sick you guys, I can't even type i'm seriously so t.o.'d I'm shaking....

the RS prez asked {shudder} if we could turn MY best baby shower ever this weekend into a DOUBLE shower.

For me AND Lynzii.


Who didn't look even a teensy bit preggo at our last in counter but whose apparently due the week before me.


With triplets.


And there all girls.

whats up

{makeover finalists will be posted tomorrow so stay tuned!!}

LOL! Turns out the historic celebration wasn't a suprise for ME--which is ok bc I can't go on cruise's this preggie--it was more Brock stuff. LOL! Thought all of that election stuff wrapped up like Halloween or something? WIERD it was still going on like months and months later but cool I guess, Brock's a total babe and seriously I love black people. My old roommate was friends with one that had the most darling hair. As far as poli-tickle stuff goes, yawwwwwn.


Bragging is so lame, so I won't, but I'd be taking my blessing's for granite if me and feti didn't publicly say GOOD JOB ON GETTING STRAIGHT A's AGAIN JJWT!! Thanx for helping me outrank the other wives. This calls for a banner made w/ help from my Cricut! :) Love you babe!


Anyways, can I seriously just share my sadness for a sec???? This girl in my ward brings her kids to {pitypout-cringe} DAYCARE which just makes my heart hurt for there whole fam and all the wrong choices her kids are prolly about to make bc of her. :( Not to judge but I just fill so sad for them and could NEVER do that to my feti.


Totally unrelated, guess whose gym pass just got upgraded to include childcare!?! YAY!

historic lurve

Couple updates before the rill post:

(YES we compramised and I wore a nude tighty modest tee under my cute halter to the dance and NO IT WASN'T GROSS! Guys I know it's not the nineteen nineties or oh-six any more, this was way cute, SPARKLY and SEQUINY aren't the same thing, I'm hot, not disgusteen. Anyways, way fun, fake-grinding with the priests was soooo hilarious! lol!)

(And seriously still working on finalists for the Makeover...I'll post 'em for you to vote on A-sap but some of your comment's slash email entries made my heart hurt. Can't believe I've got so many e-BFFs who self-identify as frumpy!! And why the crap are so many of you seriously letting your husband's cut your hair!?!?! Everyone, SERIOUSLY, everyone stop stop stop w/ the grocery store dye jobs, your braking my heart).

Anyways.

Best.

Husband.

Ever.

Seriously, WHAT is UP today!?! AngelCookie and his law/biz/med/dental school buddies kepp talking about how today was going to be "awesome" and "historic" and "unpresedented" and "monumental" and "time for change" and stuff. Not TOTALLY sure why....but been thinking about it, and got a teensy inkling...

JJWT MUST HAVE A ginorm historic SUPRISE LINED UP FOR ME!!!

What do you think? I think he's gotta have a monster list of our CCFs (closest couple friend's) to invite for a suprise bedrest shower, bc he keeps saying something about a social list. Or, prolly a cruise? Oh, I bet its a cruise and guys I seriously lurve cruise's. Or highlites. Maybe its highlites. Or tix to see Wicked and/or Britney. OR ALL OF THE ABOVE?

Thanx in advancement!! love you loverbunz!!

love LOVE love it!

Seriously guys, I know your busy making dinner since you aren't dainty-fragile enough to be on self-imposed bed rest, but just to remind you, this is your last chance to nominate someone for the Look Seriously Divine in Oh-Nine Makeover Contest!! Nominations close SUNDAY AT MIDNIGHT.

*update*: their closed!!

bc bedrest means I do what I want ;)

YOU GUYS!!!!

JJWT and me are having a teensy differince and I need your opinions bc my major life decisions are often influenced slash usually revolve around blog reader input!!!

JJWT WON'T LET ME WEAR MY FAVORITE PRE-MARRIAGE SPARKLY HALTER TO TONITE'S STAKE DANCE WE'RE CHAPPERONING!!!!!! HE SAYS IT'S "BAD-RIDICULOUS, NOT GOOD-RIDICULOUS" TO WEAR IT THEIR. I SAY, SHAKE SHAKE SHAKE IT!!! And it's not like he minded on our last cruise so I just don't see what the biggie dill is.

WHOSE RIGHT!?!?

{say me}

ugh-mazing!

GUYS!! I'm so behind on blogging, way bad I know, slacker SLACKER slacker. Today started out so u-g-h but then is ending up ugh-mazing. Bean on bedrest these four days is the fourth hardest thing I've ever done, after hair school, reading three fake vampire books in one day, and planning my wedding! Especially w/ JJWT back in school and AI only on two nites a week, perma-relaxing is my burden but persaveering ROCKS, totally get the pioneers now, just forge a head and make the best of it.


Worked on my projects this morning (scrappin', stampin', framing fabric for no apparent reason), and started cuddling my tummers and wishing there was more ways to show my lurve for the feti online, then all of a sudden {tenderest mercy ever} i found ANOTHER FLOATING FETI WIDGET!! It allows me to say WE'RE preg, which I lurve, but won't let me do twinsies, which is sad.





-->>


The awesomeness of my day increased expotentially! To celebrate, just texted all my girls, and am checking the MiaMaids outta school to hit up Olive Garden for a bish-reimbursed activity lunch-in. Yay! Yum! Fun!

p.s. YES you can still enter the makeover til Sunday. I've gotten a bumload of email entries, tons of which are incredible, so thanx and keep nominating!

Official Announcement!

So, akward, but some sweet frump from the CUB SCOUTS called and wanted me to help out this weekend. What am I, like thirty five?!? Um, no.

So, with gross boring help-out requests poring in, tons of e-BFFs to stay caught up with, The Batchelor in full swing AND Merican Idol starting this week, I've been considering it for a while but figure now's as good a time as any to announce that I've decided to make it official.

It's time for me to go on......


bedrest!!! :)


Wooohooo! So, for my health, from now on, I can only blog, give advice, e-shop, IRL shop, TeeVo, lunch, accept gifts, vaycay, spa it up, and plan my showers. Anything else would be way to big a risk. Thanx for understanding!

dAtInG aDvIcE: Tell-tell Signs Its Over

Ok so I highly shadowuvadoubt that this'll shock any of you but guess whose still spinsty? Poor Yvetters (suprise suprise, lol). Been trying way hard to talk her into taking one of those exclusive in-on-the-plan singles cruise's as a way fun slash desperate way to throw morals overboard for a week or two and get her flirt on...don't you think she should!? Sure, I encourage her tons and she basicly needs to take whatever she can get, BUT I also don't want her to date some looser. Therefore, for her and for all you other spinsties, I've compiled a few...

Tell-Tell Signs the Relationship's Croaked

• His texts dwindle. Guys, seriously: if he loves you, he will text. Harsh but true: if he doesn't have what it takes to think about you all day NOW, what the crap is he going to do in the eternities?

• He switches to a yawner car...if he ditches a hot Moabin' Jeep or big honkin hot truck for a Socialist Prius, RUUUUN. Unless of coarse you want a lifetime of wiping noses in nursery while the truck guys your friends married sit on the stand. Up to you I guess.

• He rushes your primping. If he EVER seriously even HINTS at you speeding up your hottie routine, get out while you can bc he is obviously a way selfish jerk. How the heck is he gonna shell out for augmentation later if he can't even wait patiently now? If he's so shallow he can't even wait, I bet he never even got above district leader.

• Remember, if he picks ANY jewlery without consulting you first, THAT IS NOT CUTE. IT IS DANGEROUS. Next thing you know he'll "suprise you" with some nasty ug cubic zirc and you'll spend the rest of your life fayning joy at every anniversary slash holiday pretending you don't wanna puke.

Anyways, once the relationship's croaked, cut the strings pronto. Unless you want to practice your stunned, face-fan "I-Can't-Believe-This-Is-Happening-Even-Though-We-Already-Booked-My-Parents'-Timeshare-For-The-Honeymoon!" proposal smile with a few different guys before the real thing. But once it's over, the choice is your's: either take the easy way (stop taking his calls and fadeout {heartless = hot}) OR the fun way (smooch his best friend). Trust me, either tactic works awesome.

Anything you marrieds wanna ad? Your welcome spinsties!! {pity pout}

when we're helping we're happy!

Is it the little things that count or WHAT?


JJWT and me have had fhe seriously every week since we got married {...you haven't? Ew. Sorry about your worldlyness...}. Last nite for fhe we watched The Bachelor, which is PERFECT for fhe bc it's fun (reality tv is my gilty playsure :)) AND it was like a double whammy of service since one, he's trying to follow the plan through marriage and if I watch from the start and choose my fave early I can send the universe a clear message that will lead him --> happiness and two, I serve all the MiaMaids with uptight moms who won't let them watch it when they come over and be part of OUR fhe! Fills rilly sparkly-warm to bless all those girlses' lives (the MiaMaids and the grossies I'm visualizing Jason ditching).

Not to be rude, but if your not watching, you hate service.

WHY?!

Uh oh.


My new VT Lynzii just dropped off a box of last season's shoes.


With a frownsmile.

happy new year from the J-Dub

Hey everyone. It's me, JJWT. New Year's was a blast. I hit the slopes. Sweetest powder ever. Being off school is the best. TAMN is hilarious and way hot. One of her resolutions for 09 is to get me to contribute to the family blog more. She's posted other goals around our house. She's big into "sending the universe a clear message." Hah ha. Looking at "Lose all baby weight w/in 24 hours of a pain-free birth" written in glitter on the mirror while I shave is a little weird. If my buddies saw that they'd think I was so gay. Hahaha. The "Don't be a tubbalard and quit obsessing about your weight" sign on the scale is a crack up. So yeah, about the blog. She thinks it's our fam's journal so I should contribute more. She's doing fine on her own but whatever. I'll give it a try. Especially if it means more Settlers. Hahaha. I don't get what to really say on this thing. Any questions you want me to answer? TAMN probably shares way too much as it is but I keep it a little more real. Hahaha. She is such a hot wife. Happy New Year. Take it easy. Later everyone.
