I have to admit it, ever since I was young I’ve never been much of a clothes shopper! I get soooo cranky, I know, me cranky! Well, believe it. I hate shopping for clothes! Ever since I was old enough to charge (18 those were the days!) I’ve always bought clothes via catologs or the internet, my fave, Victoria’s Secret, whoa now settle down, they do sell clothes too not just the frilly yum yums, but yes clothes! Lately I been in the hunt for the perfect jeans, ya know the heavenly fit Oprah talks about on her show sometimes. I’m a failure! I’ve sent back so many pairs of jeans I might as well open my own store with all the coin I’ve spent on returns! Insane! So one cold Michigan Saturday night I was feeling frisky and desided hey, I’m gonna do the chick thing and go clothes shopping!! I grabbed Eli cuz he knows my mood swings and when I get pissed, plus I knew he’d be honest with me, and we went to the mall! I couldn’t even tell you what size I wore, but the spikey haired guy figured it out and loaded me up in the dressing room, then the party started! Jeans flying everywhere! I wasn’t looking at brands, sizes, prices I was simply looking for perfect, for me that is! Now that hasn’t worked out in the relationship area for me, but I was hoping I could find the jeans of my dreams! I worked my way through an endless pile, like 50 pairs, it was the second to the last, it was a perfect match the way they slid on my bum!! I could not believe it! I said to myself, I don’t care how much they are, they are coming home with me. Then I looked at the price tag, I wished I was drunk to justify my spending! Now I’m the proud owner of mall shopped jeans. I never thought I’d turn into one of those girls, but I finally found the right fit, and due to lack of sleep I’m telling you all!! It’s like I’m learning to be a girl all over again, shopping and having fun! Maybe I’ll get a tiny dog some huge shades a hit LA!!! Haha! Go Tigers, go spring, shout out 28, luv ya baby!!

So those who know me know I have 2 big dogs, SiMin who is almost 100 pounds, (Monie 75lbs)! Now let me tell you, he's like a polar bear, but when he runs in the house to his "safe spot" pink binki because he can't handle it, damn it, it's too cold!! Please, sun relief! I've had on so many sweaters I feel like a re-run of the Cosby show!!! I hate sweaters! I want to be free - tank tops, sunglasses, margaritas! Come on! Here in mid-Michigan we have been dumped on so many times I asked for bengay for Christmas (2 much shoveling)! And get this, I fell! Yes in my own driveway with all my bags in my arms at 7 in the morning! I wanted to crawl under my Jeep and hide. We live in one of the most over weight states in the nation, let me ask how? I shoveled snow so many times I thought about starting a rent-a-boyfriend business for all us poor single girls living here! I had to dig, yes dig a trail in my back yard just so my dogs would walk out to pee! 2 weeks ago, 13 inches, I'd get done shoveling then start over, 5 times!  

So yes I will admit, the storm was fun! I felt like a kid with a snow day! I was waiting for a good storm to put the new Jeep in 4wd!!! I am very impressed with my ride! I think I was the only one who didn't get stuck! I'm such a hillbilly, no, no plowing or shoveling my driveway, just put it in 4wd and flatten the snow! What a dork I must look like, but hey gotta find a bright spot in the white out!

I'm glad I feel as great as I do because this wheather can sure do a number on your mental state, not that I'm not mental anyway, but at least I feel good about it! HA! Gotta love life, and love yourself, if you don't who else can or will!

For now til then, J-me

Well, It's Sunday, a little blah. I'm super tired. I'm online searching for something to inspire me. Oddly I was listening to a radio show from California online.  Jillian Michaels does radio show on Sundays. Can you believe I called in and got through! Cool right! Everyone knows I work at GNC for xtra cash as well as down time, so I had a question for her on supplements besides the multi-vitamins & proteins. What she thought about them & if she tried anything. Sadly I would of loved more air time, but they had to go to a commercial break.But how cool she is doing this radio show, being in direct contact whit the people. All celebs should do that instead of being so untouchable. I love to see a celeb in touch with those who admire them, but I understand people freak out!!! Once I got put through to her I was like Jillian! Then I think I peed a little! LOL! But props to her as a down to earth bad ass woman who loves to help people and puts herself out there to do so.  I recently found myself inspired by  NBC's "The Biggest Loser" Just because I'm fit doesn't mean I don't have to work for it, or have a hard time finding time, energy, and motivation. Body image is a constant battle for any & everyone sadly sometimes shallow, but a battle none the less. I won my battle 5 years ago now. I firmly believe this happiness is a true reflection. Once you feel it inside it will naturally reflect out. Take that reflection and let it radiate, set a positive example for others to follow. That true, centered happiness, once achieved, oh what a foundation! Build your life on that, hold it tight, cherish it, don't take it for granted, and never NEVER let it go. Shoot me an email if you want to know more.  Hey maybe her dog Baxter should hang out with Monie & SiMin how funny would that be!  They'd look like 2 big body guards next to him!

So tomorrow is my birthday, ignore the rumors I'm really not as old as they say I am!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So through some friends I got invited to perform at a private beach party for Mackinaw City's 50th aniversery! Sat July 28th I will be taking the new Jeep with a few friends and jetting north about 3and a half  hours. Can u say road trip!!!!!!!!!!!!! My bags are packed, my suite is booked all I need is a bottle of Jamacian Rum and I'll be all set. Oh my dogs are coming along for security!!! I'll be performing 4 or 5 songs from my debut cd and the new stuff, introducing a brand new song, and doing 2 cover songs from 2 of my fave artists. I need some R&R so I decided this was a good gig for that. I'll be checking out Mac Island and grabbing some fudge to bring home! I'll make sure to post some pics as soon as I can.

Bye bye July, sad but soon here in MI it will be cold again. Time flies, oh well, live it to the fullest!!!! Take care.

Hey everyone, I just added a couple songs from my debut album, no the songs are not new, but they are from my first cd. You can still buy that off my web site. BIG shot out to Matapop Records for all the promotion and support they have given the new singles so be sure to check them out give me some feedback also check out all the other Matapop Records artists click on their logo on my top friends.

So tomorrow starts July, everyone please forget my birthday, I get no older from here on out! I do finally get a weekend off I will say that for my birthday. A good time to eat a ton of BBQ at my favorite restaurants on someone elses dime!

I'm sooo happy with the response the the new single! Thanx to everyone who listens and supports this project. It's not easy right now, time is something I don't have a lot of, but be sure every second that I can will be spent returning emails and promoting. Life is great and as soon as I get more time it will be better. I'll get back in the studio and release some more new stuff soon. Thanx again.

J-me!
