Like I said in a recent post, I have been wanting a Mac for what seems like forever now. These past couple of days I have been hearing/reading about people who have had some problems with Macs. Most recently, one that quit in less than 24 hours. Now, I'm not so sure about getting one anymore. I haven't really made up my mind on if I want to go through with getting one with all of these problems surrounding Macs lately.

It's been a while since I've actually written anything worth reading. Actually, I don't think I've ever written anything worth reading. I hated English class in high school so I'm not very good at putting things together and I'm not really good at wording things which means there isn't anything that's very thought provoking to say. Also, there isn't any reason to write up a post on something that someone else has already done and I most likely have the same views or opinions as them. Or close enough that I don't need to come up with a post. I'm also not really sure when I should start a new paragraph so I just start a new one when I think I should or just when I feel like it.

Eh, let's get on to some more boring things to talk about shall we?! I can't believe that Christmas is actually in four days. It's crazy how this year has flown by. It's kind of scary really. I don't want it to fly by this quick. Where has this year gone? Where has the time gone? Maybe come 2008 it will slow down a bit and won't be so crazy. I'm just happy that I'm not sick this Christmas like I was last year. I'm sure after I stuff myself I will be sick considering Bryan and I have to eat four times in a span of two days. We should have a lot of leftovers though which is great because I love leftovers. Everything is better the next day. Well, almost everything.

Bryan and I won't be exchanging Christmas presents on Christmas. We will be exchanging presents in February since we will be getting our tax refund in. Well, that is what we planned on doing. Bryan surprised me and got me the re-print issue of the very first Playboy magazine with Marilyn Monroe on the cover. He said he is still planning on getting me something even though he gave me that. He is too sweet. I'm planning on getting him a couple of things as well. We can't spend too much money though since we don't have a lot right now.

I know I said that maybe come 2008 everything will slow down a bit but I just can't until August gets here. I'm planning on get me a MacBook which is something that I've always wanted and I will finally be able to get me one. I told Bryan that I was going to sleep with it so know one else could touch it, lol. That is how bad I want one. Sometimes I feel like I shouldn't get one because that means that will be the third laptop that I've had in a little over a year.

I need everyone's help and opinions. What web browser do you use? What are the top five web browsers out there? I was using IE 7 for a while but decided to switch over to Firefox. I like it but I want to try something new. Any suggestions?!

As I mentioned in a few posts back, I just recently bought a new laptop. As you all know, the newer computers come with Windows Vista installed on it instead of Windows Xp. I, along with a few other people, hate Vista. It actually takes up around 25% space so I heard. It is really slow on loading things. Even putting things in the Recycle Bin. Anyways, I was just wondering if anyone knew if there was a way to get Windows Xp back on my computer even though it came installed with Vista. I would appreciate all of the help I can get on this. I'm really fed up with Vista. I want Xp again.

I know I said I would update more often now that I am not working but I just really haven't had anything interesting to talk about. I'm sure it doesn't matter though. I could just ramble on about nothing but no one will notice since I don't think that many people come to my little place on the web much anymore, lol. It's cool though, I'm still going to ramble on about things that no one really gives a crap about. Not much has been going on. Like I said in a short post a couple of days ago. Ok, more like a week or so ago, lol. Anyways, we got a Wii finally. We spent around $500+ in one week on just stuff for the Wii. We bought the Wii of course but we also bought five games, an extra remote and an extra nunchuck. I love it. I swear it feels like a workout playing some of those games, lol. Eh, not too much else has happened. Oh, I get to see Hinder, Papa Roach and 12 Stones in concert on November 3rd. I'm pretty excited about that.

Finally. I am a proud owner of a Nintendo Wii. Bryan and I found the last Wii. It only took us two days, six Walmarts, a Target, two Game Stops, and a Toys R Us. We called all over the place. Everyone was sold out expect Toys R Us and we got the last one they had. We walked in and the cashier told us that we just got the last one and beat out some lady that was on the phone asking them to hold it. First come first serve. They sold four Wii's in the first eighteen minutes that they were open. I didn't know Wii's were that popular that every single place would be sold out of them. I'm so happy that we got there when we did or else we wouldn't have walked away with it. I'm so happy, haha. We played boxing before Bryan had to go back to work. I kicked his ass, lol. Anyways, just thought I would share the good news with everyone. =]

As you can see, I've changed the name of my Vox from lovey-dovey to ijessica. I was getting tired of the other one and wanted something new. I love that we are able to keep everything when we change names. If I read correctly, then I will be able to go back to lovey-dovey if I want to. Anyway, I just wanted to let you guys know about the new changes. =]

I haven't been around much and it is mainly because of my job. I've been working 13 hours a day every single day. I will be able to write more often now that my job has ended. Only because farming is over with right now. Anyways, not much has been going on since I haven't been able to do much these days. I have bought a ton of new stuff that I haven't let anyone know about since I was too busy playing around with my new toys. I bought a new laptop around a month ago. I love it. Bryan has my old one now since he sold his for parts. I also bought a new camera(in all silver) yesterday. I love it. I also bought a Moto Q back in August but I hated it. I ended up buying the new LG in Apple Green. I've bought three new perfumes in the past two weeks. I can't help myself though. I hate to smell the same every day. I've also gotten three new tattoos in the past three weeks. I'm up to five now. I have yet to take pictures of them yet but I will soon. Anyways, I'm hungry. I haven't had much to eat today. I think Bryan is taking me to eat pizza tonight. =] So, I'm going to cut this off now.

ETA: I never really know how to end my post. Do I say bye? That's all for now? Or just nothing at all?

I have Windows Vista on my new laptop which runs the newest version of Windows Media Player. It looks and runs just like Windows Media Player 11 which I hate. I was very fond of version 10 which I can't have because of Vista. Dumb reason. Anyways, I'm tired of using this version of WMP. What does everyone else use? I need a new media player. Help me please.  =]

I got another day off today. I slept in but not too late. I was awake by ten this morning. Only because I had to call up to work and see if they needed me to come in today. We are slow on Sunday’s and so they said I could go ahead and catch up on some rest or whatever else I needed to do. Instead of resting I am on here. I am in love with Rihanna’s song Rehab. If you haven’t heard it yet then you should go to her site and listen to it. It’s really good. I love her whole cd and there are only a couple of songs that I am able to download so I’m thinking of going to buy her cd tonight. I’m also thinking of buying Kelly Clarkson’s new cd too. I bought me a new purse yesterday. I’ve been needing a new one for a long time now. I’m glad I actually found one that I like. Haha. I’m so picky when it comes to purses. In case no one noticed, I did an edit on my last post about my tattoos. There isn’t really much to update you guys on. I’ve caught up with all of my dailies. I have a headache and I’m a little tired so I think I might go lay down.

I have been meaning to write in this thing for a while now but I just haven’t really had the chance. When I do have the chance I am so darn tired. I have the day off today which is nice. I got to sleep in a little longer than I usually get to. It was nice not having to get up early. I finally got around to sending off the package for Ana, Joe and baby Sofia. I’ve been meaning to do that for a while now too but have been putting it off because I really hadn’t had the time but it’s off now. I bought me a new phone about three weeks ago. The Moto Q. I took it back yesterday. I didn’t like it at all. I ended up getting the phone that I have been wanting for a while now. The new LG in green. No one I know has that color. Haha. Anyways, I’m still loving work. It’s getting slower though since it has been raining a lot lately and the farmers aren’t able to cut. But, enough about that because I’m sure no one really cares. lol. Not much else is going on with me since I work everyday. Oh, I got two new tattoos about a week ago. I haven’t taken any pictures yet but once they heal completely, which shouldn’t be too much longer, I will take a few and post them so everyone can see.

ETA(Sept. 8th 9:16pm)- I forgot to mention where the tattoos are and what they are since I don’t have any pictures of them at the moment. I got a four leaf clover with three pink flowers around it on my left hip. I also got a chinese symbol meaning happiness on the back of my neck.

As you know or may not know, I started work last week. It's been crazy and hectic but it hasn't even really been that busy yet. I got the day off today which is nice because soon I won't be getting too many days off since it will be so busy. I like my job which surprised me a little. I've emailed everyone on my blogroll letting you know that I've changed sites.[<--This is for my website.] I don't really have much to say. I'm a little tired. I've had a horrible headache for the past week. I woke up this morning and my leg was killing me. I haven't a good day. I'm thinking of taking a nap but I'm afraid if I do then I will wake up and won't be able to sleep for the rest of the night. I need sleep. I haven't been getting much of it lately. Anyway, Teresa said she was making up a new theme for me so expect something new soon. I can't wait to see how it turns out.[<--Also for my other site.] I guess I'm about to cut this off right now and go lay down. I hope I will be able to get rid of this headache soon.

Not only do I have a new look on my desktop(photo in previous entry) but I have a new look here. I have been looking a for simple layout like this for a really long time. I think since I started seeing Kristin's(sleepykristin) simple layouts. Which I loved. I have finally found one that I love. It's not flashy and all over the place which is something I cant' stand seeing. It's simple which is way easier on the eyes. Anyways, just thought that I would make it known that the journal has a new look but I'm sure you already noticed that. Haha.

I've been wanting a new cell phone for a while now. I am beginning to hate my Razr. I'm tired of it. I want something new. My cousin has the Moto Q and she said she loved the phone. I've decided that the Moto Q is the one I want to buy for myself. Does anyone else have this phone? If so, is it good enough to pay $400 for?

Yes. It's true. I'm getting married. Bryan proposed to me the night of my birthday. It wasn't what you would say a 'romantic' proposal but it will be a memorable one. To us at least. He made me cry of course. Anyways, this is how it all went down. I was sitting in the room on my laptop like I always am. He's looking around in the closet and finds his old ring box. He bought a silver ring for him off Ebay. He never wears it though. Anyways, he found that old box and he put the box right next to me on my desk. I was so excited when I saw this box thinking it would be my ring. I opened. Nope. It was that silver ring he had bought himself a while back. I was so upset. I didn't find it funny at all since he knew how much I wanted that ring and for him to ask me. So, the highly emotional girl that I am, I start to cry. I was so upset with him for doing that. He apologized. He left the room and went into the computer room. I went back to my business on the internet(I was reading posts here on Vox). He comes back in with the same box and hands it to me. I throw it back at him and tell him that I'm not falling for that anymore and I don't want it. I turn back to my computer and he tells me to turn around. He had the box open and there IT was. My ring. Or should I say rings since it was a set. Anyways, he proposed. I cried. I was so happy. It is something that I will never forget. I told my parents yesterday when we went to eat with them. They were extremely happy for me and they loved the ring. Haha. Anyways, I haven't told many people yet but word travels fast around this town so I'm sure the few people that we told will tell everyone. I don't care though. I've been going around holding my hand out showing the ring to anyone and everyone I see. Haha. So, there you have it. That's how it happened. =]
