Answered an 818 Area Code

A few fun facts about myself: I do not like answering numbers I do not know. Well even numbers I do know I tend to avoid because I don't really like talking on the phone. But this morning was an exception. A back story might be needed so here it goes. About a week and a half ago I was just moseying around on the world wide web. Found myself on Ellens website. Checking out past videos and I thought to myself hm.. I've checked a thousand times before and there have never been any open tickets but what the haiiiil. And there was! There were three open days. So I texted my friend Meredith with the fastest texting fingers I have ever used. Which is annoying because then I kept messing up because I was in such a rush. She texted me back in exactly a minute which felt like a million years and said yes that her and her mom could go that day as well. I was so excited and put me, my mama and them down. Me being me, optimistic and just the thought of hey there are open days why would we not get them. Oh also I kinda feel like I may have good luck on winning/getting things. For example like calling in to radio contests and winning a couple times. So I'm like hey this is pretty set in stone, super excited. So I submit and then I read that if you do not recieve a call within the next 2 weeks you can reapply. Alright so a week goes by. I get a weird area code calling me. I was so excited because I thought it was Ellen calling to tell me she wanted me to watch her film her show. But no. It was an annoying sales college person calling for my little sister. First of all, no. Why would she give them my number? That is SUPER annoying. And second of all I normally don't answer weird numbers and now I am stuck in a call with this weird sales person and I am so angry because I had my hopes up for my girl E calling. (BTW Norm said she never gave my number out it must have been my dad, my dad replies with, I don't even know you number Jana. Awesome.) Back to my point. It is now Tuesday morning and I'm not gonna lie I was getting a bit discouraged. Why would they have 'dates open' if they didn't want people to sign up and get those seats filled. This is a cruel joke do they not have some sort of system that says 100 people applied and there is only a 100 seats, switches date to 'date filled'. It doesn't seem like brain surgery. Then at 11:57 AM my frown went upside down! My phone lit up with an 818 area code number and the clouds parted and the sun came out. Just kidding it's still cloudy and cold here. But anyways this lady asked to speak with Jane-uh.. close enough beezy.. and asked if I would still like to attend the filming of The Ellen Degeneres Show on May 15th. Abso-damn-lutely lady!! I was really excited and tried to play it cool but at the end of the conversation I told her she had just made my day and she laughed and said we'll see ya soon. May 15th, soon? I guess it is about 11 weeks away. What will I wear? What dance moves will I bring to the show? What if I get picked to play a game? What if Channing Tatum decides to dance with me? What if she gives away MacBook Pros this day of filming? Golly gee wiz. I. Can. Not. WAIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

iPhone

woah pump the breaks.. two posts in one week? I might be getting out of control. But this is a very serious and important matter.. the iPhone. Do I want it because everyone has one? Maybe. But really all my best friends that live in this country have one. What do I hate more.. being a follower or being left out? Like what if at night they all enter cool chat rooms my droid can't reach? OR how about every which way I turn my head, boom! Cute iPhone 4s cases. Gosh darnit.. Any of these work for my MoFo (motorola photon). Don't get me wrong the MoFo is totally awesome. Front camera, 4G (so sprint says), free apps because my husband can hack droids like no other, I can take out my battery, and I have kick ass insurance on it. But something inside me still longs for the iPhone. There is an update in May. I guess this gives me a few months to ponder. I also don't want to get the 4s then Apple be like oh yes Jana finally got the 4s release the 5!! Some food for thought.

Man oh man.

Boy am I slacking on this whole blogging deal. Then I see Claires or Rachaels and I'm like oh shiz I really need to do this because I really like looking back.. but it's not very much fun when you post once a year like myself. Also I don't have blaires writing skills or Rachys photo skills but hell I don't even know if those two read my blog so maybe I should just steal their posts? Only kidding. Anyways yup I'm still a mom. My child has a cold right now and I'm coming down with it too I think. How did my mom always take care of 4 kids and NEVER get sick? Moms must have magical powers so I'm hoping mine kick in soon. Hm I have 9 weeks left til my due date. That's assuming he comes on his due date which let's not get my hopes up. If he's anything like his brother he'll want to attend preschool in my womb. Speaking of school, my better half is at school full time and work work work. So monday wednesday and friday he doesn't even see Karson because he leaves before he awakes and gets home after his bed time. Sometimes I keep Karson awake so he can see him for a bit but let's get real.. Karson is a year and a half (as of two days ago) and an hour and a half after a one year olds bed time is basically feels like 400 hours of crying and over exhaustion BUT every now and again I brave the storm because Danny does work so hard and wants to see him.

OH also today is Courtneys birthday! Yay court! The big twenty two. Happy birthday to my favorite old neighbor.

Here's a picture of my baby yesterday. Not feeling well. Dressed in yes, christmas pants, no shirt and crocs.. He had a fever and we stayed home all day. Oh also he kept glasses on for a whole hour. This is huge progress for this child.
