Does it Ever End?

Kevin is my ex. We dated 3.5 years and lived together 1.5 of those years. When we met, it was a fairytale relationship.. we were obsessed with each other. We were the type of love where your out in public and your so busy staring in each other's eyes that the people around you disappear.
Moving in together ruined us. We faught all the time and I became a mother more than a girlfriend. Not only that, I wanted to get engaged and he didn't. I figured 3.5 years.. damn, how long are we supposed to wait. Well, around NOV. of last year, Kevin and I had been fighting more than ever. I came home one day to be packing my stuff and moving out. (He wanted to move out, but there was no way for me to afford the place on my own.. so I moved back to my moms). Well, I was REALLY heartbroken.. I couldn't eat, couldn't sleep.. but Kevin made it ALL BETTER when he decided he wanted to continue dating. I figured.. at least I still have him. Well, this went on for about 6 months.. and it started getting serious again. We took vacations to his moms house in NC.. we were saying I love you.. and we were back together.. or so I thought. Well, one day we got into a fight over one of his "girlfriends" because he had went out with her all night and supposedly conveinantly left his phone on his truck overnight... well, being the "supposed" girlfriend I was I got upset. This was around July 5th I think.. it was the same week my grandmother passed away and my sister shipped out for her deployment.. lets just say it was one of the worst days of my life. Either way.. this guy just STOPPED talking to me.. ignored my calls etc. He finally had the nerve to break up with me over TEXT. Ignorant.. YES!!!
So, my question is.. When does it end? When does the pain go away.. I was SO in love and I just feel so crushed. I've met new guys.. like Thomas my fireman and some others.. and they help at the time.. but I just feel so "lost". Everything reminds me of him.. smells, food, clothes he bought me, songs, movies.. even some qualities Thomas has. Is there anything I can do to speed up this healing process? Seriously?
I need some help... because I'm tired of loving him.

I said NO to the Breadstick

Why are some people really skinny and others are just damned overweight? Wait... Metabolism, that's right. So, my boss .. who is in her 40's - has a beautiful house, beautiful kids, rich boyfriends and yes.. she is like 5 '10 and a size 8. This woman sits directly across from me and she eats non-stop all day long... This is her day.. Breakfast - Mcdonalds or Arbys - Snack - Doritos and dip or chips and salsa - Lunch - steak subs, pizzas, speghetti, whatever she orders.. and then snacking later - she eats ice cream, cookies, more chips, etc. Then, she follows all of this down with soda.. and not the diet stuff.
How do I deal with the enemy? Yesterday, she was so kind as to offer me a breadstick. HOW NICE OF HER.. aaghh..
I turned it down though.. yes!

FRIENDS

I want to dedicate this post to my world of friends. Each of them are different and have helped me through hard times.

I'll start with Terri - who has been my friend the longest. This girl and I met at a bus stop in 1st grade. We have remained best friends through everything. I moved when I was 15 years old.. 6 hours away from this girl and we are still best friends. I visit her about 3 or 4 times a year. (Really, I just use WV as my vacation spot). Either way, Terri is the type of friend where we can sit in a room quietly watching a movie.. not having to say a word and it is by far the most peaceful time. We are complete opposites but yet we are soul mates. I miss her dearly everyday.

Next - I'll move on to Roxanna... (since I met her first Shannon). Roxanna was one of my first friends when moving to Fredericksburg. We had math and P.E. together. I remember a lot about Roxanna.. like, I always thought it was completely strange that she shaved the bottom of her head ... but getting to know her better.. I understood that the girl just has too much damn hair. I know that when Roxanna is unhappy.. she will walk her ass home! LOL!!! I also have come to realize that this is Roxanna's strong point - she ain't puttin up with no BULL. Roxanna is supportive in everything I've done. She leads me in the right direction by telling me the truth.. like, Jenn.. I hate that outfit. I also love Roxanna's independence and ability to drive us around DC and make crazy plans for us. (DC Party Bus is all I have to say about that). She has fantastic sense of style and is AWESOME with putting on makeup. She helped me a lot during my breakup by taking me places.. and having cute boys dance on me:) She is a best friend for sure.

Shannon - Shannon is the mother of us all. I like talking to Shannon because she is comforting to me. She always has something positive to say about everything. (even if she isn't feeling so great herself). She is caring and compassionate and absolutely loves her friends. I trust her dearly and her opinions on boys.. lol. Shannon and I go way back to Nelly in the truck going diggin.. to shoving leaves down her throat on her birthday. LOL. Shannon is shy and innocent (but completely NOT)... but it amazes me how much she loves her family and her friends. I know that Shannon will always be there for me.. no matter what I've done. She has talked me through some dangerous and crazy shit I've done.. and Shannon was there for most of my regrets and we are able to laugh about this together. She is a best friend for sure.

Cindy - Cindy is my crazy friend. Yep, you heard me.. my crazy friend. Cindy is the friend who is ALWAYS up for anything. I could call her at 1 am (only on a weekend) and say.. Cindy, Iwant to go visit whoever.. and she will say.. ok, you driving or am I? lol. She is the most honest friend I have.. if she doesn't like it.. she makes sure that you know it. If you said it wrong.. she makes sure you know it.. but that is an AWESOME quality to have because I know she is going to set me straight. Cindy and I haven't known each other as long as the other ladies .. but we are growing closer each day.. we have shared a lot with each other.. mostly complaining about boys.. but, hey.. if you don't complain about boys.. what are you going to complain about.
Cindy is a best friend for sure.

Last but not least SARAH - my roomy. Sarah and i have really only been friends for about a year. I met Sarah through my ex - she dated his brother and I dated him. We had a rocky start to our relationship because we moved in together before we really knew each other... but, I think we have really began to work out the kinks. Sarah is the best friend to bitch with... because no matter if shes pissed or not.. she will give you heart when your bitching. She will be pissed at the guy even if it involved her or not. She is a true fighter for her friends. Also, Sarah and i share the same love for food, movies, beer, and boys.. so it is tons of fun sometimes.
Sarah is a best friend for sure.

Well ladies.. you have stolen the spotlight for today.. so don't expect it tomorrow :)

I love you guys.. and wouldn't be myself without you.

I'm better now

SO... everything worked out in my favor reguarding my insurance delay.
I got my birth control and I owe the Dr.s office absolutely nothing. Some person forgot to do their job and leave a note on the computer that said "paid in full".

I joined jazzercise last night. My friend Cindy and I bonded back in the day by going to jazzercise together... and she has been going since February and she looks fantastic. She's been bugging me and bugging me to come back.. so I'M BACK :) Most people view jazzercise as "old lady workouts". Let me tell you... YOUR WRONG! I love jazzercise because it is mostly women. (you will see a husband drug to the class maybe 1 time a week). I also love the music and the routines are FUN! I sweat so bad that it looks like I jumped in a pool. They also offer other classes, like step and sculpting. If your a woman looking to get in shape.... I recommend at least 1 class... give it a try.

Tonight is biggest loser FredVegas. I'm psyched. I have a few things to share with the ladies.. such as some really neato websites I've found.. and my love for jazzercise.

Either way.. it has began!!!!

Ugh I hate it

I'm so pissed right now. So, I went to go and refill my birth control yesterday and yeah.. they wouldn't let me because it has been over a year. How I completely forgot about the most horrible Dr. visit ever?? I don't know.. slipped my mind.
Well, back a year ago I had a really shitty insurance company who said they covered 100% of all routine visits, yet I received a bill for about $400.00. There was a huge battle over them paying it.. not paying it.. etc. So, it got to a point where the Dr.'s office got a lawyer involved. The lawyer sent me a letter and a letter to my insurance company. The insurance company paid (some of most) of the bill but only after being threatened. I then received a letter in the mail saying how it had been paid and everything had been dropped. At this point, I assumed that everything was up to par.
Today, I call the Dr.'s office to get a months prescription fill (you know, so that I don't get pregnant or that my hormones don't rage out of control and to keep the cycle normal) and she says to me.. sorry Jenn, we can't do anything with this until you call the collections office and pay off or at least set up a payment plan of the remainder of your bill. What fucking remainder of my bill? Why is the healthcare system so fucked up that I can't get a months prescription for birth control (because I'm being responsible) and set up an appointment and just pay the damn remainder of this bill at my appointment?
It just feels to me that they are holding my health above my head in order to get me to pay the remainder of a bill I thought was already paid. I don't even know how much I owe??? I'm so confused.
Is there anything I can do? Our Free Clinics suck in Fredericksburg... ugh.

I'm pissed!

WHAT & HOW

Thomas The Fireman.. is a guy I met online. Yes, I've never done it before.. but I couldn't pass it up. I was on myspace one day probably leaving one of my friends some ridiculous comment, or possibly mystalking my ex boyfriend. (I like to see if he has any girls leave him comments, yep it is ridiculous). Anyhow, I get an email from this darling looking guy who looks like loads of fun. He has a truck, a motorcycle (Harley), a boat, a snake, friends, etc. The sexiest part of him, he's a fireman... yum! So, the email reads simple... "Hi there, I'm Thomas I'm from Stafford. What do you like to do for fun around here" etc. He was sweet too. So, I emailed him a few times and invited him to the movies on a double date with the roommate. We met and we got along and he was very attractive. So, to shorten this up.. we have been talking now for about 3 weeks maybe? We get along great and spend a bit of time together.
So, to the point..
WHAT and HOW?

What do I want from him? Well, I think I want a boyfriend.. but I'm not really at the point to mark my myspace as "in a relationship" status.
I do want to only hang out with him. I do want to see him all of the time. I do think of him everyday. I do talk to him on the phone everyday.

So.. the How?
How do I ask him what he wants out of this, without looking stupid?

I'm terrified. I'm scared he wants to be my boyfriend, because I'm not quite sure if I'm ready. I'm scared he will say.. "nothing, we are just hanging out" because then it is going to make me feel like I like him more than he likes me.

So.. what do I do? Let it be and see where it goes? I thought about that.. but I'm concerned that it would just continue on how it is.. and I would never be sure of where we stand.

Is it ok to be confused and not know what you want?

It's my first time... ooh

This is my very first blog. Yep, I have no idea what I'm doing but hey.. I'm going to give it a shot.
I have joined the blog spot for 2 reasons...
1. I am so bored at work and they cut off my myspace.
2. I am going to be joining The Biggest Loser FredVegas... and I need a blog account to share my thoughts, ideas, and recipes...

So, even though I joined for only these 2 reasons, I'm not going to half ass. I'm going to give my blog readers interesting things to read.. and give myself interesting shit to do :)

So, here goes..

My name is Jennifer, but I go by Jenn. I am 26 years old. Born and mostly raised in Charleston, WV. (15 years) and moved to Virginia and have lived here since.
I have 0 boyfriends, 0 husbands, 0 ex-husbands, 0 children, 0 pets, and 1 roommate. So, you think my life would be completely boring? Nah.. not at all. I'm sure in future blogs, you will be cracking up at some of the stuff I do to occupy my time. Oh, and I'm not shy... I will share everything... with you.. and I do mean everything. I pay attention to detail.

So, to give you some ideas of what I'll be moaning and groaning about...

I am on my 5th day of no smoking. I have been a smoker since the age of 18. So that is 8 years, and wow they have gone by fast. I've quit and started and quit and started, just like every smoker out there. You know it is horrible for you, but you do it anyways. You wish you would have never started, but it is too late. Well, it is NOT too late for me. I'm done, put a fork in me!


Also, I am dieting and starting to exercise more. Ex-smokers tend to gain about 10 lbs when they quit smoking, I would prefer to not. So, I am going to mostly watch my calories and stick to exercising at least 4 times a week, moderate to vigorous 30 minutes - 1 hour.

So, I'm going to be a complete bitch to say the least :)

Sorry to all my friends who are going to have to come in contact with me during the next 8 weeks or however long it may take.
