tell me. how many people do you know that can eat 18 otterpops in the time of 1 minute? huh? no one. thats what i thought. 18...that aint the little leagues my friend. so what else have i accomplished while im home alone for the week? well. i have found the best place for voice echoes would be a close tie between right by the garage, with the door opened, not closed. and leaning over the railing in the loft upstairs....incase anyone wanted to know. i have found out that the 39 cent burrito i was bragging about in my other blog entry (incase you get confused, that would be the one titled "numero uno...that means number one." i know there's so may to keep track of. thought id help you so you dont have to look waaaay back in the archives) well, it was a no go. that's right. sorry to dissapoint. but no eating of the 39 cent burrito! that thing was so sick looking, and no it wasnt my cooking ethics that ruined it (you only have to microwave it for 2 min to 2 1/2 min, not hard). it was just originally gross. i wont get into detail incase if someone is eating right now. for future reference, dont eat and read jennifer jollEy's blog okay? because i tell you what, gravy and soggy dog food wrapped in a tortilla is not very pleasant on the eyes. that is all im gonna say about what will now be known as "the cheap burrito incident". ALSO, while im on the subject of food, another tip from your friendly food screw up, i buy a bag of Mrs. Grass's (that right there should of been a good indicator of non edibleness) chicken noodle soup. "just add water!"...this thing makes 8 cups. i thought i was almost set for a week of dinners here. (the burrito was supposed to be the other. dang.) well i, once again, follow directions very thouroughly ("stir in 8 cups of water, bring to boil, and simmer for 18-20 min") i cut the bag and pour in its contents. what do you suppose drops into my pot of water??????noodles. dry noodles. no more, no less. i look on the back of the bag, in FINE PRINT it reads "for flavor you may add chicken". so since i had already thrown out "the cheap burrito incident" i ate bland, soggy noodles. the curly ones.
good thing i have my movies to consume many hours of this long, uneventful week. sad. if im not sitting down watching an entertainment movie, im standing up watching a workout movie. sad.
but not all hope is lost for a social life. tomorrow i babysit then go to FHE with the singles' ward.woot.sarcasm. naw, its not so bad. and thursday i have a date to go see a $2 movie at like 9:30 a.m. hahahaha. well actually jason has to call and tell him first...so i guess its not a date yet, but i thought it would be hillarious. im up for it. so i hope that pulls through. then i have institute that night which i genuinly do love. its such a good class, so i am exited about that. then friday i have another date. wow. look at me!.....actually that date is just with the frozen pizza i have been saving in the freezer. it is my last hope for a non otterpop-and-toast meal :). watch, ill take it out of the box and it will be just the toppings. fine print on the back will read "for any reasonable possibility of cooking this product will require a crust like foundation. sold seperately." perfect.

numero uno......( that means number one)
here i am writing a blog. not even my family blog (an epic that failed after the first entry) but this is MY blog. me. jennifer is starting a blog. so before i get into this, i have to first name of my thank you list......thank you to janessa who tried so diligently to get me started out in indiana. thank you to jamie who, after weeks of brainwashing convinced me that blogging is not just for married people and their own family, thank you to the video cameras that filmed my wakeboarding and music video because now i finally have something i WANT to share on a blog. (somehow in your head make that sentence not come out as me being vain please :) and thank you to the hot arizona heat that has forced me to stay inside, leaving me more time to do a blog.....this will be fun.
in all reverence i feel i should start my first story of my blogging extravagana with a tribute to walmart. me and jamie went there last night to get me food for next week when i am being abandoned while everyone but me goes to cali :( but its alright, they offered, but i have to stay and work. so anyways, i learned many important secrets so undisclosed that i will ONLY share with few people.....or anyone who reads this blog i suppose. lesson #1. walmart will price check ANYTHING! amazing, huh? #2. when approaching a check out stand with price check items, opt for the nerdy young boys who dont care that it takes more time. this saves guilty feeling and unwanted behavior of our friendly walmart associates. #3. frozen burritos are 39 cents people!! 39CENTS! you could get a job that only pays like $4 an hour to make it through college now!! #4. when choosing a cantalope the best ones are the ones that are squishy at the top on that green spot where it's picked (i guess cantalopes dont grow on trees. OMG ANNNND did you know that baby carrots arent really BABY CARROTS! no. not an offspring of big carrots. they are actually just the big carrots cut up and they use the shavings from them to put in premade salads!! conspiracies i tell you!) #5. it doesnt matter if you look stupid climbing in the cantalope box to get down to the bottom to squish all of them, i mean if going in your pajama pants doesnt draw enough attention now it is legal to actually position your body INSIDE the crate. who woulda thought?
in other news, today was my second day of babysitting and i love it. the kids are great, its easy money. so that will be a good job. its getting rough waking up at 7 though. especially now since me and jamie have discovered the knife show at 11:00 on weekday nights. but it is worth it i tell you! oh man, this knife show is better than going to a hillbilly family reunion. actually they probably host the same event there as well. but this knife show has got this man with the funniest accent and southern drawl i have ever witnessed hearing. this guy is like trying to get people to call in and buy these knifes off the t.v. and oh man, to demonstrate how sharp it really is this man doesnt get out the steel bars or the aluminum pop cans, no no no that would be too cliche. this man brings out paper. PAPER. and shows off how sharp the amazing blade is by cutting paper. omg that show has got a riduculus amount of insane hillariousness going on, i tell you what!
so im staying out here in Arizona until after labor day then i am going up to BYU-I which i am exited about. but i have absolutely loved being here. i tell you what, this summer has been the most productive, learning experience, walmart tripping (and i dont mean that in a sense of altered mind from substance use, because no there is no drug called walmart.....but it is addicting, but i am just saying tripping in the root form of trip ie to take a trip. just so that is cleared up for those reading this :) summer i have ever experienced! and i am sure that i will be back next week to update,inform, and ramble. until then here's a thought to keep you through the week.....if the cheese smells bad, DONT EAT IT!! just ask jayson. good thing i am here now to replace jamie's exellent sense of smell (for those who cant hear the sarcasm in my writing, please let me make it known at this point.)
