step one: admitting the problem...

Cute pink ballet flats that would go well with ALL skinny jeans! Feminine with the bow, these flats will make a very nice home amongst the rest of my flat collection.


RED Keds! OMG I have been looking for a pair to relax and chill out in FOREVER. I never quite found a pair that fit right or looked right on my feet, until today! I love the idea of a slight boyish look to them when on. LOVE LOVE LOVE!


Plain brown flats, with a flare of studding. Essential for any closet. Nuff said!


Beige kitten heels. I was on the fence about these but talked into them by mommy. She made a good point that whenever I need a pair of shoes that are slightly more dressy, that these will be perfect. Plus they are perfect for a night out on the town!


Last but not least, Gold Gladiator sandals! With summer swiftly approaching, these sandals are EPIC!

Ok, so as you can see I have fallen in love with 5 pairs of shoes. What is my problem you ask? I bought all of them in one night! Yes, all at once. My name is Jenn and I am a shoe-a-holic! I currently own like 50+ pairs... Dont judge, they are my love!

What is your obsession?

walking in walmart...

Working at a physical therapy clinic, gives you the opportunity for you to meet some of the most interesting people on the face of the earth. I happen to work in a clinic, where more often than not, I get more country folk than normal. I am not saying anything is wrong with that, I am just saying that they tend to be, well lets just say different.

Example one: Had a patient who thought that her house was the only one on her street that got 24 inches of snow during our blizzard days because she lived in a culdesac and that the winds just blew all the snow up against her house. Really? This was also a lady who claims to have sneezed 47 times in a row! YEAH, guiness world record right there y'all!

Example two: I have 4 patients who call me Jenna. Let me just say that I wear a name tag every day that has my name in big black letters that state it is Jenn. Where does the extra "a" come from? Can they not read?

Example three: This is the best of all. A patient walked in the other day with back issues. After the evaluation I found out that her back only hurts her when she walks in Walmart. That is correct, you heard me right, Wally World. When asked if walking in Kroger for grocery shopping hurts her, the answer she gave was, "No, it must be sumthin' bout them floors in Walmart that make my back hurt."

Enough said!

after a 2 year hiatus...

I AM BACK! I feel like a band that has been off the radar for some time and am now making my appearance back in the scene.

Haha, this should be interesting considering I have tried on multiple occasions to re-vamp and update this blog on a regular basis but have failed. So here we go, round 3!

I will start with a weekend update of my first experience with traveling cheerleading competitions. My cousins, Heather and Amber, were down in Williamsburg this weekend with my Uncle Todd for Heathers' ECA National Cheerleading competition. First let me start off by saying congrats to her team for being champions both days! Woot!Second, I have not seen either of my cousins in like 10 years so realizing that 18 year old Heather is taller than me, and Amber is saying full grown-up sentences was a shock, but a good one none the less.

Observation number one of cheering competitions is that parents take this sport uber seriously! They have an award at the end of competition day for the most "supportive" fans (aka- Craziest, loudest, most obnoxious parents with bull horns, light up sashes, sequence tops, cardboard megaphones and glitter makeup to boot). Seriously, I know cheerleading is a spirited sport, but damn, I felt like I was in the middle of a little miss perfect pageant show with crazy show moms!

Observation number two. You need to be fit as hell to cheer. My cousin Heather has abs like no other! Seriously I could not flip and twist and hit as well as some of these girls can to save my life. I saw this like 8 year old girl who did knee back flips! WTF!

Observation number three. Any organization makes money as many ways they can. Charging $20 per person for admissions is ridiculous. I feel as a family member, I have the right to cheer my girl on without having to pay to do so. LAME!

Above is a picture of me and the girls after the first day of competition. I hope next time it wont be another 10 years before i see them again!

back...

Back and better than ever! Have had quite an interesting semester. Not going to go into details because thing would take too long. However, am going to revamp this blog and start doing weekly updates. I have been getting inspiration from a bunch of different fashion blogs and think i might start posting my thoughts on other peoples dress! haha 

Lets see how this goes.

p.s.- new FOB is pretty dec

slump...

It has been a while since this feeling has hit me, so I figured a post like this is well over due. I would like to find a cute boy who will spend time with me. Go on adventures, play, kiss, and do all sorts of fun things with. A fella who will go out of their way to make sure I know they care about me.

I short cut myself way too much, and I need to realize that all of the guys I lend my time to recently, either a.) only want ass or b.) are not worth chasing after because I will only get my hopes squished in the end.

Can we fix this please?

Ohio Surprise...

Mr. Soot was driven to the Richmond airport on Tuesday July 8th. While waiting in the airport for his flight to board, he encounters strange people who like to take the seats next to him when every other seat in the concourse is open. Fun times. People need to learn airport etiquette. Anyways, he boarded the plane and flew to his layover in Detroit. Had 15 minutes before his next flight boarded so, he ran to the next terminal only to discover that his connecting flight was delayed. This was not good. After taking off from Detroit and heading towards Columbus, Mr. Soot became more and more nervous to meet his potential boss Mr. Ludlam. After landing and getting off the plane, Mr. Soot met Mr. Ludlam right past the security checkpoint and walked around the corner to Max and Erma's. SURPRISE!!! Mr. Soot is actually me and I was surprising my best friend  Kim for her 21st birthday.

After the initial reaction and shock that I was actually in Columbus Ohio, Kim and I drove away from the airport and started our Columbus adventure. While in Columbus I got to see her ginormous house, that had 3 floors of amazingness. Holy COW!!! The following is a list of things we accomplished while I was in Ohio.

1. Birthday fun celebrations completed with manicures and pedicures for the b-day girl, followed by some amazing lunch and fabulous dinner with the ladies. 

2. Visited a cement corn field.

3. Best salad ever consumed at Abuelos in Easton. MMMMMMMmmmmm

4. Met hope

5. Fun times at Cheeseburger in Paradise.

Overall I did not want to leave Columbus and my visit was all too short :(

So I am currently back in Richmond trying to find things to occupy my time.

list update...

It has been a little bit since i last updated my blog, but for somewhat of a good reason i guess. I have been working diligently on my "to do" summer list. So lets update shall we.

First I got to play with glitter sparklers on the 4th of July! These were special because they were wrapped in pretty paper and burned different colors. I wish I had pictures but failed. 

On top of that I was at a show which adds to my list of seeing 10 shows in a summer.

1. Race the Sun reunion show.

2. Alkaline Trio and Bayside

3. Mercy Mercedes and Love and Reverie and Conditions

4. Aniston and Divided by Friday

5. The Working Title

6. Jonas Sees In Color with Love and Reverie on

 July 4th!

7. Ace Enders and a Million Different People

Mmm... here is a picture of the most amazing man in music. 

So the video of Ace singing Ever So Sweet as his final song is not uploading and it makes me a little sad. Still fucking brilliant though I tell ya. This show was also amazing because I got to finally hang with the lovely Megan Beth! Woot Woot. We accumulated many a new boyfriends over the course of the evening. She also introduced me to a new favorite word... Choch.

The only reason I am elaborating on this show and no others is because if anyone knows anything about me it is that The Early November is my favorite band thus leading to my love of the second best thing, Ace Enders and a Million different people. :D

The next craft project I am probably embarking on is with Katies help of making a dress. We have the fabric picked out and cant wait to get started.

Ok, so this is a lame post and I apologize but just a quick little diddy.
