Life since graduation sucks. But Im gonna take matters into my own hands and live the life I want. Let me explain:
I graduated with 2 job offers in Kentucky and one in Australia. Australia was too expensive and not really what I wanted to do, and the Kentucky people wanted me to do minimum wage mexican work. NOPE. I kept looking around online, and I stumbled across a "quarterhorse breeding facility in need of a manager". Sounded pretty good. Looks can be decieving. They flew me down, i worked a few days, I went home and called them up and took the job. Packed my truck and drove 1100 miles to Florida. WOOPEE.Well, like I said, not what i expected. my job-> live-in nanny for 22 horses. Really? AAAND I got crappy pay. My boss was an asshole- always coming down to the barn in a bad mood, quick to yell and get upset, everything had to be his way. Walked all over me and personally, I think he really beat me down mentally :/ I have an $80,000 degree... what do I do with it now? Be someone's slave? I don't think so. So when my knees gave out from all my hard work, I thanked God and used it as an escape route back to Jersey. Now I'm waiting on Doctors and looked for a desk job because the only work out there for someone with a degree in equine science is mexican work : (

Bad Idea:SAMBAZON Acai Antioxidant Superfood smoothie
So last night I was shopping for healthy foods- fruit & slim fast basically- when I stumbled upon a "superfood". The top of the bottle says "Supergreens Revolution", the company that destributes it is SAMBAZON. It's the Acai Antioxidant Superfood (organic Smoothie). "2x the antioxidants of blueberries, 1905mg healthy omegas 3-6-9, 120 acai berries per bottle!!" Its healthy, can boost metabolism and the immune system, and is all natural, so I thought it was worth a try. I was wrong. I took one sip and realized this almost immedately. The ingredients: acai puree, apple juice, grape juice, banana puree, mango puree, amazing grass supergreens(wheat grass,barley grass, oat grass, alfalfa, soy lecithin) and o yeah, citric acid. I took two sips and I was done, put the $5 bottle back into the fridge. Then I went out to feed the horses in the barn. As I broke open a new bale of hay, I realized the smell that hit me reminded me of the taste still in my mouth. If I wanted to drink horse food I coulda got it for free. WTF. I pureed some strawberries and added it to the bottle- no luck, still gross. I think instead of wasting the bottle I'm going to take a shot of it every morning and chase it with cranberry juice until its gone. I won't lie, I was pretty energized all day. AND I didn't gain any unneccesary weight today : ). I just need to melt away the extra stupid fat in those hard to get places(love handles, thighs, and belly) and I will be sooo happy!
SO the point of this blog- do not try that superfood... Eeew! Eat some grass if you want. The other point, I'M STILL LOSING WEIGHT! : ) I hope to be super in shape by the time lil Miss Sniggles' wedding rolls around!! Yay!! <3

Sometimes I really hate the rain...
So, people say I have that "girl next door" appeal. Well, actually, an ex-boyfriend and his best friend told me that. And I guess its true. some people get to know me and they fall head over heels for me for no apparent reason. Usually I either get bored with them or I decided we just have to stay friends... like legit-just friends. Since I've been to Florida its been happening, and then again it also hasn't. Let's justsay it all started with my current boyfriend...
Jack-My boyfriend from Jersey
Jack and I met 2 weekends before Easter at a club in Morristown. My cousin and I were standing at the bar talking, mostly about how she didn't have the guts to go walk up and talk to the hot guy who was staring at her across the bar. I told her that I do that sort of thing all the time, and I decided to demonstrate. I saw Jack and his 3 friends farther down the bar, and then his friends left him to go to the bathroom. So I walked right up to him and started talking to him, invited him to come hangout with my cousin and I, and offered to buy him a drink. We spent the night talking and chillin and started hanging out that week. We waited 3 months to start dating, but in that time he came down to my college every weekend(and some weeknights!), came for dessert on Easter, and spent a lot of time texting. Jack knew he was interested that first week when he drove 70 miles out of his way to pick me up at my college and take me to diner one night- a Tuesday night!!I was impressed and likewise interested. Have I mentioned he has a great car? An Infinity G37 that he let me drive to the restaurant when we went on our first date! And a great body haha... for a Polish kid! But he stuck by me through family problems, graduating, and looking for-then finding- a job out of state... and we are currently still together(ugh long distance lol). But he mentioned recently that I "had him at hello", mostly cuz he'd never seen a girl just walk up to a guy like that.Lol
Robert- the first guy I met when I moved to Florida
I went up to him in a bar and started talking to him, we hung out, danced, he bought me drinks, and we exchanged numbers. Well he called me the next day, and every day(sometimes more than once a day) for like 2 weeks. Robert had no job(he did handy-man odd jobs), a cell phone that was outa minutes(he always called me from a different number), and no money to "take me on a real date" (thats what he said). Well that's all fine and dandy, I only wanted to make friends. But he told his friends who told me that He really liked me, thought I was the one he'd been waiting for, was the coolest girl he'd ever met... blah blah blah. Well we coulda been friends, until his stupid friend dragged us along on a drug deal. That was the deal breaker.
Bobby- works for my boss's feed company & delivers our feed/hay/shavings
Bobby is apparently half black/half latino. 6 foot tall with a baby face and a little extra baggage. He's also got two kids... not a bad thing, I love kids! But then we are working in my barn at the same time and he's flirting and I'm nonchalantly flirting back(if you knew me you'd know that's just how I am, it's my personality) and the next thing I know he's trying to pin me up against the truck and/or the wall and make me kiss him. Of course I wouldn't. I told him he has to wine and dine a girl before he gets anything- and I mean anything. Ya know what he said? "I don't know what kinda guys you've been dealing with back home up there in Jersey but that's not how we do things down here" so I said "I don't know what kind of skanky ass girls you've been banging but that's not gonna get you anything from me". Point Jazzy! Score: Jazzy 1, Bobby 0!!!
Kris- a friend of a friend
Kris and I met about 2 weeks ago, My friend kinda took me on a double/blind date. Her boyfriend and his friend, me and her. She'd never met any of his friends, and I was looking to make friends and it just seemed like a good idea. So we meet up with them, do some shots, go out and drink and shoot pool, come back and play rockband for a few hours, I fall asleep on Kris's couch, and long story short I slept over(nothing happened!) and got up mad early for work the next morning. Well we hung out again the next night, he took me out to dinner and a movie and helped me do my night time barn chores. Apparently by Monday he's telling my friend I'm the most awesome girl he's so glad he met me blah blah blah- and then I get the full story. Kris had been with the same girl for 9 years. They got married, divorced, have a 4 year old kid... and I would be the first girl he's ever "dated" besides her. I was like woah lets put this in reverse for a hot sec there... obviously this kid is a one woman man, and I'm no where near ready for that! AH! So I waited a few days but finally mentioned that I have a boyfriend back home in Jersey. And he was like ok that's cool please can we still hang out because Ive never had so much fun until I met you. So yeah...
This is not the first time these situations have occured, I see it all the time in my past lol. O well. Just thought that since it was pouring and thundering and lightning outside I'd take a few moments to sit down and explain that haha.
