Starts with my toes...

So it's been a while a know but I thought I might share a few "gems" of experiences with getting pedicures...and manicures.
So I ususally go to the same place to get my toes and occasionally nails done, however one day when I (and my mom and Shilo) wanted to go they closed early. So, we decided to try another local place that we knew some people who had gone there. It seemed like your average nail place...that's just the place...notice I didn't mention the people. Well, the lady that did my pedicure seemed nice enough from the broken english I could make out. She was trying to chat with me but as I said, her english was broken; well I finally made out some things and here are just a few of the things said:
"Veh-ry sof. mhake my johb easy"

"Veh-ry sehxy feeh"

"See? see?"
All the while my toes would occasionally get caught in the sleeves of her long sleeve ruffled shirt. She proceeded to slap my legs occasionally to get my attention to show me what she had done. Finally, when all was said and done she pulls me out of the chair and shoves me towards the dryer. Well I took this oppotunity to pay and tip...well she took the opportunity to thank me profusely, hug me, then kiss my shoulder a few times. Needless to say for a person who is not usually a touchy feely type...I was weirded out and haven't been back since.

So due to the previous experience I went back to my usual place and the woman doing my manicure managed to insult me and compliment me in the same conversation. She was massaging my hands and said:

She said: "Soh yhoung and sof, don't do muhsh whit hand."

I said: "Oh, uh no I guess not."

She said: "Dhon't do mhany deeshes, mhom do them all?"

I said: "I help."

She said: "Noht muhsh"...while I try not to be insulted, she says "What do you whanna be when you growh up?"

G-R-E-E-N = L-O-V-E?

So, another Valentine's Day came and went but it was a good Valentine's and here's why:

1) I got not 1 but 2 bouquets of flowers!! Thank you Daddy and thank you Chris and Lexi)

2) I was finally validated in my "love" for green!

Green (according to M & M's) is the new color of love!!

3) My nephew Stephen decided to try his "chances" with Lexi, here is the exchange:

Stephen: "Can I hug you?" ;Lexi: (giggle) "Sure." (hug) "Aww Stephen, that's so sweet." ;Stephen: (steps back and fiddles with his fingers) "Can I kiss you a little?" ;(laughter from all ensues) ;Chris is watching this and says: "Whoa, watch it there." ;Lexi: (laughs) receives a cute kiss and a moment in history is made.

I don't know about you, but this is definite material for future embarrassment for Stephen, but for now it's just cuteness in the making!

Hope you all had a "love"-ly Valentine's Day!

CrazyPJunk?

Okay so I saw the movie Taken this weekend...intense. So I started thinking that I am so not someone able to defend myself if I needed to. So I decided to come up with something that is more user friendly to those of us not so athletically inclined or just not very strong. I am calling it tentatively...CrazyPJunk. So simply it's this: So someone (bad man, maybe even woman) approaches and/or attacks so...you start barking like a dog (maybe even snap at 'em), then if that doesn't work...pee yourself (nobody is going to want to touch you then...hopefully), if that doesn't work...start flailing about (kinda like the way Phoebe runs on Friends)...ideally about this time they think you're crazy and start backing away, so to seal the deal...drop to your knees and junk punch 'em. Boom.

My First Blog

Hello,
My name is Jamye. Yes, Jamye with a "y". Thank you Mom. I used to think it was original but I have met people with that spelling but apparently it's still weird and hard to "wrap your mind around". Or so I am told. So here I am giving in to the peer pressure to enter the world of blogging. So, please be kind and don't expect too much.
