Friendly Word to the Wise: Don't be in self-denial of something that you think might be wrong with your body. Go soon. Go fast. Get results. Get fixed.
I echo this friendly reminder due to recent happenings in my life that has prompted me to go to the doc and alas, jess isn't dying (sorry, peeps), but jess isn't invincible. Let's just say I have been instructed by my doc to take a vicodin (sp?) before I visit her next month for a lil outpatient treatment. Rest assure, I should be alive -- and if you're wondering, no - I'm not breeding any kids or diseases. haha.
But anyways, the WAIT for results sucks, the WAIT for treatment sucks, and the fact that life's problems are sometimes internal, SUCKS even more. In the meantime, your life isn't as complicated and tragic as it seems cuz, I'm pretty damn sure, there are people out there that have MUCH bigger problems than your own.
Take care of yourself in the meantime. Go to the gym. Don't eat too many BigMacs. And most importantly: don't look for a blessing, be a blessing.

RTB NATION 2005!!!
If you're not WITH US, you're AGAINST US!!!!
If you are a friend of Skess or Jess or Mell, and have spent time with us since Jan. 1, 2005, you will have already been priviledged to hear a certain ACCRONYM proclaimed from our mouths over and over again. That accronym is: RTB and many of you are curious to know, WHAT'S ALL THIS HOOPLA ABOUT. Well, today's entry does the dirrrrty work and deciphers it for one nite only.
What is RTB according to Skess and Jess' Dictionary of Insightful and Witty Accronyms:
Literal def: Risk Taking Behavior
Non-Literal def: removing our "tired and lazy" junk-in-the-trunks (whole lottttt of it, may I add) from the comfort of our own homes, on any evening of the week, to go and just do something "risk taking" instead of copin' out and stayin' home on our respective warm couches with our television and tv shows. We're obviously not getting any younger and if we want to make the most of these prime years...we can't be sittin our butts at home. Can't meet cool dudes from the living room, pal. It's all about making an extra effort to say, What the hell.. let's do it! Let's go out! Let's be spontaneous! Let's do it for RTB 2005!!!
What RTB Does Not Mean: RTB does not mean goin' out and being skank-hos, jumping outta airplanes, bullfighting, participating in the running of the bulls in Pamploma, or anything Fear Factor related - there are no eyeballs being eaten or bullball shakes to be drunkkkkkkk.
Now.....Are YOU crazy-in-love with RTB 2005? That's right! Get on the Train cuz this train is screamming, CHOOOOO CHOOOO!!! Chugga chugga chugga chugga...CHOOO CHOO! ALLL AAAABBOARD!!!
Current Status of RTB Nation 2005: it's goin' well, but where the hell are the cool-n-quality doodes?!?!
Upcoming RTB Event in the works: Memorial Day Vacation in Virginia. That's right... yellow girl Jess hopes to take over Virginia Beach by storm.

Small Epiphany that might solve the questions of my life ---
I came up with this one-liner that explains many many many things.
"Being a friend means you never risk getting kicked to the curb."
Translation: Why it's better to be a friend than someone's gf/bf *relative to your situation*
Rejection.....not a good place to be.

Valentine's Day? What's that?!?! When's that??!
A look at a "holiday" from the view of Glass Full and Glass Empty:
What does V-day mean for a "girl": a day outta the year to be shown an extra dose of love/affection/appreciation from her special slice of bread..her MAN...regardless of the fact that it's a commercial flower/chocolates holiday.
What does V-day mean for a "guy": a day outta the year monopolized by florists and chocolatiers swindling lovelorn men outta alotta cheddar when a guy just wants to be lazy and do just enough to get by. (FYI:To this.. I say... BOYS SUCK. Get real. Step it up. PUHLEASE. Just a lil bit. Enough to get by is NOT ENOUGH.)
This is just the way it is. Don't think you're special if you fall into these categories or not. Accept that V-day is just this and don't dissapoint anyone and fail to show up with a lil thoughtful expression of appreciation.
Ok. So I don't expect boys to pull out the stop and get a girl bling from Tiffany's and overpriced LV dog carriers/purses/etc. So, those of you out there reading this, we're not asking for the mooon. This entry is really just a message to put a lil thought into 2/14 as a way for your girl to REALLLLY THINK YOU'RE SOMETHING SPECIAL x 5 ---- cuz you actually tried. On this day, whatever good thing you say or do is registered as MUCH MORE IMPORTANT. aka HIGH IMPORTANCE. So think of this as a SUPER BONUS POINTS DAY for you.
I never figured it was THAT hard for a person to think of a way to make another person feel special - whether romantic or not, whether it's V-day or not.. What person doesn't like to hear that someone thought of them, got them something just cause... i.e. a cup coffee, a scone, a slice of pizza, a magazine, a snail-mail card, a beer! Everyone loves a lil simple indulgence!
It's the little things that count. If that person is of any worth in your life, don't be afraid to show a lil sumthing sumthing once in a while...cuz if that other person is worth it in general, the service will be returned tenfold anyways.
Whether it's the day before V-day, V-day, or 10 days after V-day... if you care, show it... but not just enough to get by.........GO BIG or GO HOME.
As for the single peeps such as myself, V-day has never existed in a way that included a valentine in my life. Maybe I'm a loser, maybe not, buy any way you cut it, ...let those people in love be in love... who can poop on love being celebrated. I'm not gonna say I'm not envious of those that actually have it, cuz, from what I hear, love's real great --- but enough of us single peeps being Sad Sally. Let's just set our karma wheel a rollin' a say cheers to love...may it be as cyclical as bad luck and good luck ---what goes around, comes around. There's always the hope of something over-the-moon...it's out there. Somewhere. =)
Anyways, in a nutshell, if you're in love - in a r-ship, whatever --- go big or go home. And if you're single. Enjoy all your glory. You're better off spending the day with your tiVo -- and can save yourself from the dissapointment from your cheap/thoughtless bf who thinks taking you out to a steak dinner at the local Sizzler and tacking on the All-you-can-eat Salad Bar and getting the waitress to throw in a few extra slices of Cheese Toast is going the extra mile on V-day.

To Associate Manager @ J.CREW Palos Verdes.... it's pretty far in the south bay...but on the bright side, I can finally eat at The Appetizer, Red Onion for Mexican Food and Happy Hour, Ruby's, and meet up with my South Bay friends like Jen Tong and Joyce more often! Yay! I'm excited to have gotten promoted as it's the pinnacle of what position I've been wanting to achieve with J.Crew as the past 2.25 years have been an incredibly learning experience professionally and personally. I will miss my associates dearlllllllllly as well as the management team cuz I've been with these 2 other managers pretty much my entire time with the crew. Who knows where life will lead me next. I start the 2/13ish...whatever that Sunday is.....boy will I enjoy the traffic!!
IRON CHEF AMERICA: BOBBY FLAY vs. MING TSAI
Thanks to Joyce's FYI, I tivo'd this show cuz I had missed it. I finally watched it, secret ingredient being DUCK, and boy was the competition suspenseful! Ming totally kicked butt and Flay can just go home. Him and his blue corn and habenero everything. MING RULES! I LOVE HIM. I LOVE HIS FOOD. I LOVE IT ALL!!! GREAT HANDS you have MING! LOVE a man with good hands!!!
NEW VACCCUMMM!
So I can officially say I will no longer be borrowing any of my friend's vaccums cuz I finally got a BISSEL yesterday. I spent the last of my bonus money on a VACCUM. How Molly Maid am I? IT WAS NEEDED, desperately. It's super special cuz it as a "clean" "dirty" light that tells you when the area is clean or not. How cool is that!!!
