Lucky lady.

He likes to cook for me apparently. Two home-made meals in one week? I feel so lucky, but that makes it feel corny. I'm not used to corny and it makes me blush. But I will take the free meals :) especially if he is the one cooking for me.

I need to work on getting more sleep and spending less time with technology. I went on two really nice walks this long weekend and I want to get out more, feel the crisp air. Having good walking companions help as well though!

Busy busy weekend coming up, so many birthdaaaaays! And when people back out last minute and leave the planning and getting the hotel to me, that doesn't make me very happy. Well Heather is here to help me, that was all directed at a certain someone who I never really liked from the start anyways, so whatever. He'll get over it. I'm sure he already has.

P.S- the corny, mushy, gushy just makes me blush even more.

Only sometimes.

Sometimes October isn't the best month. Do you know how much I miss you?

Scars.

Whatever yours are, wherever yours are, and however you got them, one thing's for sure: your bumps and scratches are part of your life and part of your story. They're part of your lows and part of your glories. Yes, they're memories of the bad decisions and reminders of the good ones. And they all come together in a nicely wrapped package that we like to call.. you.



See, we're all a bit bent, we're all a bit busted, we're all a bit broken, we're all a bit rusted. Underneath all the crinkly jeans and wrinkly shirts are beautifully personal collections of hairy legs, scratchy scars and spotty skin.



So take a second to stop today and love all of your scabs and patches. Just kiss those scars and rub those bumps and smile at all of your scratches.




I'd really like to say I wrote that but it came from 1000awesomethings.com

Sunrise, Sunset.

Sometimes I forget how pretty the city I live in is.
I watched the sunset from Champlain Point the other night and it was just fantastic. I think this is going to be a good fall.

My Dad will be out of the hospital on Friday. I went to see him today and he was stoned out of his mind. He was telling me he could give me advice on anything and everything I've ever dreamed of. He also gave me the middle finger more than once when I told him he wasn't allowed to take out his IV.

School is pretty great. I'm making friends and they are pretty awesome. Every test I've had so far has been pretty simple and my lowest mark so far is a 84. Not to shabby, eh?

I want it to be the weekend so I can stuff my face full of ham, peas, potatoes, and pie. Caaaaaaaaan't wait :)

If you can't hold on, hold on.

Baah.
Life is crazy.
Between school, work, hospital, trying to have a life and other complications.
I just want one full day of rest, where I don't have to think of anything. Just sleep- no social drama, no school work, no work drama, where everything is just the way I want and need it to be.

I'm surviving through the music of King Charles

You will love him and you will thank me for showing you him. I'm actually really excited because in November I get to see him open for Mumford and Sons, who I don't know if you've heard of them but they superb. I can't even begin to say how into their music I am. It's just so wonderful. Please please check them out as well.

Anyways I've got to go study wheat and everything about it. Wish me luck!

Sixteen Secrets.

Good Weekend. Better Friends.

Friday started out a wreck. My Dad was on the fritz and the hospital wasn't sure what to do with him and I wasn't handling it the best. After having a great talk with the even greater Stephanie I cooled down quite a bit. I hopped on the bus and made my way to go see my old man and made it through the visit without crying, woo!

While I was at the hospital I couldn't stop thinking about a certain number and a certain tattoo. I also needed some adrenalin. After texting Andy I wound up at a tattoo shop. Let me just say he did try and stop me and did try and give me other ideas to try and help me through whatever the hell my mind was doing. But I was stubborn and ignored them all and by the end of the night I had the roman numeral 16 tattooed on my wrist!

It's perfect. It's just what I wanted and exactly what I needed. I left Andy downtown at his new apartment, which is very homey and quite cozy, and made my way back to Kanata- This is where the real adventure begins.

Actually the depends how you define adventure, this adventure mainly took place in Chris' car, with Heather and few small appearances by Andrew, Ariel and Amanda.

The first place we ended up was The Works. All I had eaten so far that day was a bagel with cream cheese, I needed a little substance if I was going to make it through the rest of the night. There we got a call, Andrew had gotten kicked out of the Carp fair for smoking weed, hah.

Off we went to drive half an hour to Carp to pick up Andrew and Ariel. Silly kids. I never got caught underage. Mind you I never did anything overly outrageous either.

Next was Amanda. We drove to Meadowlands and picked up her semi-drunken self. It was a fun ride, with fun conversations.

So I guess it really wasn't that adventurous, but it was still a good time. Back to school tomorrow, woo!

10.I find my music taste embarrassing sometimes.
11.My feet have really dry skin on them right now, I should probably fix that.

13.I AM SO EXCITED FOR THE FALL/WINTER

15.I love you.
16.Don't break me.

Face meet the toilet bowl.

Yesterday was not a good day. Let's just say my face became best friends with the toilet bowl. It started around 3 am. Why does it always seem to start in the middle of the night when you have the flu? After some ginger ale which I sipped super slowly my stomach was able to hold things down.

So now I'm taking the extra day off school just to make sure everything is okay and I desperately need to catch up on sleep. This also means I can't go in to see my Dad for another few days just to make sure I have no virus or anything left in me.

This will be the first baking class I miss. I wanted to not miss any because if you miss more than 7 then you are kicked out of the program, so I need to be on the top of my game. I better not get sick anymore.

Wow. It's been a while, let me reintroduce myself.

Oh Hey.

So I've been missing for quite sometime now. Weird.
Well I'm still Jenna and I still have problems. But now I go to school and actually enjoy it. And guess what? I'm going to school to become a pastry chef.

I spent three wonderful months on lake manitou with some amazing people. I still work at a grocery store, only I'm a supervisor there now. I still love metric and have a huge girl crush on Zooey Deschanel.

My old man is pretty sick right now. I don't think I've ever felt so helpless. He was coming off sedation when I visited him today and I had to try and calm him down but I had no idea what to say to him. I wish there was more I could do. I just want to be able to see his blue eyes and let him know I'm there.



That's one of my favourite pictures of us. He used to grow the most amazing moustaches.
