Jenna Can... not keep on top of the month

Dear Blog Gods,

Please take this as a sincere apology for my lack of posting over the past month. It has been a crazy, crazy summer so I feel like reviewing is a complete necessity. Between work, classes, the wedding, and my vacations, I've been a busy little bee. Let me expand.

Work: still as amazing. Technical writing is... interesting... but I'm learning a lot of real world skills such as formatting, contacts and T2 reports. Hooray! But in all seriousness, I really love my coworkers. April and I discuss the pros and cons of boys and makeup. Michelle always found time to help me with my questions and my boss Daniel? He definitely keeps me entertained. After all, with what other job could I go home singing such gems as "Elmo's World" or that filet o' fish song. Yeah, I'm serious.

Classes: DONE! HOORAY! Finished, completed, owned. I dominated my summer classes and enjoyed my one month of summer... if I can even count it as summer considering I worked almost 40 hours a week. Ewwww.

The Bachelorette Party: We made a pact not to discuss the happenings of Blairre's bachelorette party, however, I feel like I need to state the main points. Drinking, being hit on, almost getting arrested, hookah, driving around, making new friends at random bars. Whew.

The Wedding: Blairre's wedding was amazing, beautiful and a night to remember. It was a long day, starting with getting our hair done at a spa, drinking mimosas and then getting our makeup done all together. I really feel closer to the bridesmaids. We all got along really well and bonded. Dre, Diana, Amber, Ashley, Theresa, Clari and I decided to have a bridesmaid reunion and wear the bridesmaid dress over to visit Blairre some random tuesday after the wedding. "You were so right! We can wear these again!"
We danced a lot, completing the required bridesmaid wedding dance duties as the YMCA, Celebrate, the Macarena and the Electric Slide. Oh yeah, we shook our groove thangs.

The trips... may be better saved for another post. More to come.

Summer Goals

JennaCan... have a productive summer

So I've made the executive decision to be productive this summer. My first goal was to get an internship (check), where I write technical things for 36 hours a week on base at White Sands Missile Range for the nicest people EVER.
But I figure that there are hundreds of other things I could be doing to better myself. So here's a quick list of some things I'm considering...
Yoga-lates (yoga and pilates together! hooray!)
a roadtrip
see every big summer blockbuster that comes NEAR las cruces
learning to cook
make it through a Blink-182 concert (my best friend mikey's favorite band... and apparently they're back together, so here we go)
Grow (and keep alive) a spider plant.

Stay tuned.
