Marissa's Life

Hey everybody!

I've kind of been neglecting, I know. Blogging isn't a top priorety I guess... :P

_____

So, what have I been up to lately? Hmm... Well, my sister, Brianna is having a baby in late January but the sex is undetermined at this time, it'll be just a little longer. My sister Heather and baby Avery are doing splendid and my niece gets more adorable each time I see her now doesn't she :). I've been working on my writing but it has been a little slower as of late, mostly revising and what not. I've been working on a painting which I had been thinking I may post a picture of when I have it completed. We'll see... I would say that I am about one third of the way done... Phooey :/ It takes a while. But surely I would love my friends who don't have the luxury of living close by to come and see me soon or at least give me a text now and then.

Love you all!

Quote of the Day!

Jen - "Um... Why is there a tranquilizer gun in my purse?"

Amanda - "Honestly Jen! Are you seriously asking that question in light of recent events?"

Jen - "Yes I am! These are not freely available to the public."

Welcome back to Marissa's life, California!

It's been almost a year exactly since I left Bako for Utah and boy have I dearly missed it! It is nice to see all my old friends and to see my family. I do miss my Utah friends though, and want them to come and visit me really soon! I hope everyone is doing well!

Alright, I'm FINALLY better after my infected liver incident and now trying to figure out what I'm going to do about my jobless situation... that and trying to figure out what I want to do with my life... Oh well! In the mean time, I'm just enjoying hanging out with people and having fun!

Quote of the day! Sophie: "We must be talking about the king himself."

Stephanie: "The king of drop-dead sexiness himself. Jen just put him in his place at court.

Sophie: "Really? I wasn't aware that my husband became a lawyer and had a face-off with Jen. I thought she'd been battling head to head with Jason King."

(That's your cue to laugh!)

Have a wonderful day!

Hey everyone! Sorry I haven't posted in a while, I've been a little busy going to California, getting my car broken into, figuring out how I can get back to Utah, and now I have a swollen liver! I'm out of breath just reading that! Hahaha! So about my liver, I apparently I have an infection that has caused the darn thing to swell so I'm taking antibiotics for it.

The doctor thinks that I have Mono or Hepititis. He thinks that one of those caused me to get an infection in my liver. So I'm taking medicine to get rid of it.

So I'm moving back to California this upcoming Sunday after church. Sad and happy at the same time... I'm really going to miss my friends that I've grown to love here. They had better come and visit me in California!

Quote of the day! Amanda: "Don't answer the door! I'll get it!"

Jennifer: "Since when do you have a baseball bat?!"

Love you all!

Hey! Some of you may be wondering what my apartment looks like! So here are some pictures!

This is the divider thing inbetween the kitchen and the living room, on the left is the entry way to the regular kitchen and on the right is where you come in to sit at the table or the counter. In the background, there is our La-z-boy chair (that's what it says on the lever) and on the right you can see the porch doors. We actually never use the front door because the porch is closer to where we park our cars and we don't half to walk around a staircase.

This is our kitchen table, cute right? One of the paintings on the wall was done by an old roommate. (Mine are better!) Just kidding! (...or am I?)

This is our TV, on the right is the front door that we never use. Oddly enough, the pictures above the TV are the original roommates and we never got a group photo of the updated version. Like I said, they don't like me or the other new girls that much.

This is the kitchen, to an extent. I tried to keep as much of the mess out of the picture. One of my roommates is obsessed with top ramen and doesn't clean it up when she's done... not until WAY later. I think it is a cute little kitchen. It is bigger than it looks.

This is our glorious pantry! My food is the top right corner to the golden bag of cereal (golden puffs if you were wondering) there is more food to the left and down but that was as much as I could get, behind me were the washing machine and dryer.

And this is how we dry things! They broke the dryer before I moved in. They couldn't figure out where the lint filter was so when I was looking it over, I found a build up of lint thicker than my hand! It was gross...

Well, that is all the pictures I have, my room was filled with laundry that needed folding and my bathroom was covered in hair and grossness (honestly, that wasn't me. I hate leaving hair in the sink!) I'm not sure why I didn't get a picture of our "special" couch, maybe it was a mess... Hope you enjoyed your internet tour of my apartment!

Quote of the day! Jason: "Well, Jennifer. It seems I have a new goal to reach for."

Stew on that!

Yep, I finally got a current picture up :P So, I'm basically positive that my roommates hate me so I'll be moving home sooner than expected. The day is being bumped to May 16th if everything goes smoothly!

Some of you may be wondering why my roommates don't like me. I am so lovable! The truth is that we just have different personalities and they've been getting under my skin as well so that is the story that I'm going with.

Before anyone says anything! Yes, my roots are hideously long, I'm going to get that taken care of in two weeks!

I'm still working away on my stories, and working at INO. Nothing really new or exciting is really happening right now so I feel like you're almost caught up on my life.

Quote of the day! Jennifer: "Dying for someone you love is easy, killing someone because you love them, that will destroy your soul."

Hope everyone is enjoying!

So, I've been thinking a lot these past couple of days... ok, more like hours, and I've decided that I'm going to give my readers (ehem! there are currently no followers!) a little taste of my writing in my blogs. Rather than giving you huge chunks to read, I'm just going to give you quotes! :D I don't know about you, but I am excited! I'm working on two stories to be perfectly honest but these quotes will only be from my most recent one. Right now, I'm thinking of calling it "Objection Overruled" but it is still undetermined. In case you couldn't tell, there are elements of law involved in this story of mine. The main character, Jennifer Aldenin, is a prosecutor. But that is all I am going to reveal!

Just thought I would show you some of my past times! :) No one would believe me unless I had a picture for proof!

See? Some pretty intense stuff! :) We were shooting at pumpkins, tvs, segas, cans of vegetables, cupcake tins, and other interesting things :)

Just thought I would show you George. My friend Jen and I decided that George is what we are going to call it, Saint George just sounds too formal!

So, my quote of the day for you today is this. Amanda: "You mean your secret world of strippers and man slaves? I've been ready my whole life!"

Love you all!

Hey everyone! So, since I am new to this whole blogging thing, I figured I'd better let you all know a little about me. I'm currently nineteen and living in Saint George, UT. Yes, that is part of Mormon land, in case you were wondering. Hahaha! However, I'm not going to be here for very much longer. On May 31st, my contract for my apartment expires and that is when I will be moving home for the summer. I'm excited about it but sad at the same time. And in case you were wondering, yes, that is an old picture of me. I don't currently have one of just me from recently... at least one that I like. :) My current project that I am working on is a story that I am writing but if you really want to know about that, you can just ask me about it.

This is my beautiful family! Yay!

Well, I'm still really new to this so I'll post some more later!
