Skinny Minnie lol

Well... its official. I am now 8 inches thinner, 4.5 pounds lighter, and have 3.9% less body fat in me. All in a good months work. I am very proud of myself. Mom did well too. Do the same this month and I will be all set for bikini season.... i hope. I feel sooo much healthier now and am always wanting to go outside and do something. I go to the gym 3 times a week and then mom and I are walking and she even jogged with me the other night!! I was soo proud of her. Anyways things have been crazy lately at work. But I am making lots of money. Last week I worked Monday, Wednesday, Friday and I work today and tomorrow. Next week I work Monday, Thursday, Friday and Sunday. If any of you who live down here are interested there is a plant sale next Saturday supporting my Spain/France trip. There will be a barbeque there and lots of trees, shrubs, and annuals. Hope to see you. I have made over $600 for my trip going just to me. So they will take that off of the total cost. But anyways I got to get out and do something before I go to work in an hour! Love yas!!!

Who's Been Updating?? NO ONE!!

This is just a shout out to all of you people with blogs that have a post that I have been staring at for the past who knows how long. I would like to know whats been going on in life!! Thanks Uncle Kev for finally updating, but I am waiting for more Dominican pics fi there are any from Mandy, baby/ Norton updates from Uncle Karl......... help me out here! So anyways nothing new has been happening here except they are coming to paint my room tomorrow!! Finally I can move back downstairs! Weather has been awesome, and my sunburn keeps on reminding me of how much fun I had outside and at the barn on Sunday. Uncle Dennis and Ivy came to visit on they're motorcycle and Kelly went out for a ride. Then a hot rod pulled up which belonged to my dad's friend. I thought we looked pretty cool with a motorcycle and hot rod sitting out front of our house. Tonight I am going to get my hair cut and I am going to the gym and to the barn. Tomorrow is a P.D day so I will be doing homework and hanging out at the barn. Show season starts this month so I better get cracking. I have still been working on fundraising to save up for my trip. I am almost at $600 going towards the payments. I'm pretty happy about that. I work all weekend so I am not looking forward to it. We had a girl quit so there are extra hours lingering. I was thinking about asking the manager of the whole store to see if I could switch to cashier but I am a little scared to because apparently the last deli girl who tried to do it got a huge lecture from our deli boss. So I am kind of thinking twice. Anyways I have things to do, people to see so I will talk to y'all lata!

Just an Update!

Upon request I am updating my blog. Although I do not have much to say. I've been able to get out to the barn more often which is really good with this awesome weather. I went on Sunday to clean my saddle and go for a ride. Lorraine, the lady who owns the barn, and I went for a trailride in the field across the road. We saw a hawk grab a snake. It was fun. I worked last night and tonight, and also just finished babysitting. Mom and I joined Curves in town, which is working out really well. It is a gym for women. I feel that it is really helping me get to my goal. Im going tomorrow, and then biking to the barn. Thursday is my third driving lesson :S. And two more to go. My friend Jess just got her G2 so she is excited. She gave me a ride to Curves and the barn the other night. Anyways, like I said there is nothing much to say here. Dad had a baseball practice tonight with a new team he is playing with. So I will talk to y'all lata!

Ciao Bellas!

Bonne Fete a MOI!!






I love birthdays. I don't think it is because of the presents. I think it is because it is my day to shine. I love hearing Happy Birthday Jessicas coming from everyone. My friends decorated my locker and they sang to me in french class. Last night mom, Kelly, my friend Jess and I went to Turtle Jacks Muskoka Grill for supper where we had a delicious dinner. Unfortunately Dad had to work, but we are doing the cake tonight so he does not miss out. I got spoiled, yet again. Not complaining or anything hehe. Well here are some pictures of my night, but we didn't get any from the restaurant. Part of my present was I got to go see Phantom of the Opera in Toronto. A must see for all of you who like musicals. Next fall we might go see Dirty Dancing, so I cannot wait. Also Kris, just to let you know, your post on your blog was exactly one year old as of yesterday, lol.


Love Jess
oops sorry about the pic on its side! And all of those balloons in the one picture, Dad blew up just for me! Thanks Mom, Dad, Kelly and all my friends for an awesome birthday!

Happy Easter Everyone!!! Well Aunt Haydee, Mark, and the boys just left our house. They came down on Friday and stayed for two nights. We took them to Tack Connection where there are miniature horses and my friend Katie brought us back to see them. There were two tiny babies that were sooooo cute. Then we went over to the barn I go to and we played with the pig and they went to the hay loft. Last night we had Easter dinner and this morning we had an Easter Egg Hunt. We all had alot of fun. Here are some pictures of our fun filled weekend.

Hey Guys!!!!!!!
Sorry I have not blogged in a long time. I guess I just wait until something has happened. Well nothing much has happened here. Just got my mid term marks back. I've got an 85%, 86%, 87%, and an 88% which overall gives me an 86.5 % average. Pretty cool. Well I have nothing much to say, but I figured I'd update, and maybe everyone else will too? Dad has told you all about the basement. This weekend Aunt Haydee, Mark and the boys are coming down for a visit. So we are trying to think of things to do. They can come to the barn with me, we might be going on a hike at Beamer Park, and they want to go to the Falls one day. That will be fun since I haven't been there in a while. Driving lessons are going alright. My driving instructor is creepy, but other than that. OK actually I hate them. They are sooo nervewracking. Oh well, I only have 3 left. Have I mentioned that I got third in the French Speaking? I talked too fast, but that is what I do when I'm nervous. Also, the most important part of this blog......... BIRTHDAY COUNTDOWN: 8 days!!!!!! Thats right folks, next thursday I will be seventeen!!! Happy Easter everyone!!
Love Jess

Bonjour, Allo, Salut!!!!!!!!!

Me and my best Gal Pal Frances

Hey how is everybody?? Well not much to say but I am trying to update more in case people actually look at this thing. By the way I love comments (hint hint). Well tomorrow I am off to the school board office for a French Public Speaking Competition. I am REALLY nervous, but I think I will do alright. This will be my third year doing it and the first year I came in second. I was really proud of myself. Well everything is going good here, the carpet is halfway in and it looks pretty good. It is starting to look homey again. The weather is starting to warm up, better for the barn. But I have soo much stuff to do tonight, like a meeting for my trip, art homework and memorizing my speech. I AM SOOOOOO EXCITED!!! I found out that my friend Frances might be coming to Spain and France with me!!! We would have an awesome time! Well thats all about me, my driving lesson got cancelled tonight but I have one on Saturday. :S So I hope all is just as good for everyone else and I miss you all!!


Love Always, Jess
