Okay, seriously, I am such a nerd. I was re-reading my last BLOG and I noticed something...just after the song lyrics, in my sentimental paragraph...I say that I am not going to mention everyone names...well...I wrote "or" instead of "your" so that is supposed to read "I am not going to mention all of YOUR names..." or something along those lines...okay, seriously, done for the day...going to bed.
Good Night
Hi Guys!

I know, I know...what am I doing? I have already BLOGGED for the day, but I felt that because my BLOG was so short today, that I would write another one, which will be equally as short. So I wrote earlier this week about my horrible fall down the stairs...you will all be glad to know that I feel much better...my skin has gone back to feeling like the silky smooth skin that it was before and less like leather, which I enjoy a whole bunch...as of yesterday I was quite relieved that I did not appear to be bruised anywhere from the incident...that all changed this morning, about 3 am, I woke up to a sharp piercing pain in my knee. I turned my light on, and there is a hidieous purple bruise that goes in a ring around my entire right knee...if any of you were lucky enough to witness my peanut knee this past summer at Hermosa, it is worse than that. No good, no good at all.

But other than that, I was watching the Toronto-Ottawa game on tv tonight, and it was horrible...the leafs won, which was nice...sorry for anyone who might like Ottawa, but the game was so violent...I have never in my life seen so many fights, and I watch a lot of hockey...almost as much as I watch baseball. This is the one other sport (besides baseball) that I actually understand the point to it. DO NOT GET ME STARTED ON FOOTBALL...as it is I am dreading tomorrow's Superbowl...it is all people talk about...I almost wish I had a friend in Brampton, just so I could go out and avoid the whole commotion..

Umm...keep sending in the suggestions for Song Lyrics...I recieved one today, thank you April, I love ya! And I read them, and down loaded the song, and I simply love it...for those who have me on their MSN lists, you will notice that my name is now a mixture of these lyrics...because I like it so much though, I decided to add it as another Jenelle Song Lyric of the day...it is short, so I can get away with it this time...most other days, there will only be one song. Okay...wow, I just realized that I haven't mentioned the name yet...so I will do that now. It is "65,000 Miles Later" By Hangnail

65,000 MILES LATER
HANGNAIL


Thinking back on summer weekends,
hanging out no need for reasons.
I recall Spot Drive-in meetings, 3 a.m. and still we’re eating.
I make this promise and I’ll keep it, never will my friends I forfeit.
To all the ones who feel forgotten,
keep holding on to these words just said.
I understand and I don’t blame you,
I’ve been gone and you’ve been gone too.
Different place, so many places,
growing up just seems to have changed


That song means a lot to me, I mean, most of my friends have all gone away to different schools in different cities, and as I mentioned earlier, none of them are left in Brampton. It makes getting together tough (right Fab 4) and it makes me sad sometimes when I think of all the great stuff we are missing out of each other's lives...but I just want to let them all know, that even though we may be miles and miles (oh wait, we live in Canada...)so kilometers and kilometers apart, and we may not get to see each other as often as we would all like...but I just want to say to all my friends far away (hey that rhymes!...I am such a nerd) (oh, you all know who you are...I will not mention all or names because I might forget someone and accidently insult you...and I don't want to do that) Shoot, I lost my train of thought...*reading back to where I left off* That I love you all, and I think about and pray for you every second I get.

Love,
Jenelle

P.S Ames, we still going to get together during reading week? Gals in the WA...when is your reading week? Maybe we could arrange a get together because we missed Christmas???
Well, well, well...I made it to Saturday again. Not much happening today though...I am spending most of the day over at the church working on the church website. I have been put responsible for the youth section on the site...if you want to check it out...it is http://www.firstbaptistbrampton.org It's not that glamourous right now, because we are just getting used to having one...and it is still in the works...but hopefully it will get better. On the youth section, it will have news as to what is in the works for the young people in the church, any news about Camp Hermosa that I can dig up, as well as registration info for the kids. There will also be a link to Christian Bands, or Christian sites that the children might enjoy, so if you have any idea of good tes, let me know...as well there will be a link to the BCOQ Youth Page. So, if you have any idea of what I can put down, let me know as soon as possible.

Besides working in the church, I going to be going on a dress fitting this evening. As some of you know, my sister is getting married in May and I am the maid of honour...so I get a new dress, I am very excited/nervous about this. All around though, it should be a very interesting and fun day.

Ummm...wow, I am really running out of things to write, so I think I will cut this short for today, and maybe I can write a longer one tomorrow...I mean, Survivor All Star starts then, so I will have lots to say about that.

Okay, so I am going to move on to Jenelle's Song Lyrics of the day (f anyone has any suggestions for this section either, let me know) Today's song however is...."100 Years" by Five For Fighting. I heard this song on the radio this morning when my alarm went off at 6:30...not sure why it went off then..seeing as I haven't had it set for that time since wednesday...but whatever, it is a fun song.

100 Years
Five For Fighting


I'm 15 for a moment
Caught in between 10 and 20
And I'm just dreaming
Counting the ways to where you are

I'm 22 for a moment
She feels better than ever
And we're on fire
Making our way back from Mars

15 there's still time for you
Time to buy and time to lose
15, there's never a wish better than this
When you only got 100 years to live

I'm 33 for a moment
Still the man, but you see I'm a they
A kid on the way
A family on my mind

I'm 45 for a moment
The sea is high
And I'm heading into a crisis
Chasing the years of my life

15 there's still time for you
Time to buy, Time to lose yourself
Within a morning star

15 I'm all right with you
15, there's never a wish better than this
When you only got 100 years to live

Half time goes by
Suddenly you’re wise
Another blink of an eye
67 is gone
The sun is getting high
We're moving on...

I'm 99 for a moment
Dying for just another moment
And I'm just dreaming
Counting the ways to where you are

15 there's still time for you
22 I feel her too
33 you’re on your way
Every day's a new day...

15 there's still time for you
Time to buy and time to choose
Hey 15, there's never a wish better than this
When you only got 100 years to live

Okay, that is all for today, check back tomorrow for more fun

Hi all!

Well, it is finally Friday and the last weekday of this week. Now, I do not have classes on Fridays, which some might think is really awesome and really cool...but let just say that it isn' all it is cracked up to be. Friday's are my homework days..the day in the week where I look back at all my classes and do all the work that I should have spread out over the course of the whole week...but never actually do that...maybe it is because I am a procrastinator born and raised, or maybe it is because I am just dumb...call it whatever you want. So today, I am working my butt off to finish at least one part of the major assignment that is due in two weeks for my Individual Program Plan class...it is not going well...I am really just painting myself into a corner.

For all people who care...my test went really well...it was crazy easy...I actually think it was a joke! But let me tell you, studying certainly paid off in the long run.

So, Camp Hermosa's Winter Retreat is coming up next weekend Feb 6-8th in Listowel, ONTARIO...not quite sure why it is there...but it should be a good time. I am hopefully going, the kids in my youth group want to go and they want me to come too...so we will see.

Also, some of you may have noticed that I have the comment section up and running...so if any of you want to leave me a message...either commenting on something I said, or to tell me how great I am, either will be appreciated.

Ummm...running out of things to say...I went to choir last night, yep, I am still in my church choir...it was good, we sang a lot of songs that I like...and BOO, my church is sining "A mighty fortress" on Sunday, that is not NOT my favourite hymn at all...it is so slow and annoying! I blame you, Graham, you put it in for favourite hymn and now I am destined to be singing it FOREVER!!!! GRRRR!!!!! Oh well, I will survive.

Anyways, I think I have written enough for one day, so I will move on to Jenelle's Song Lyrics of the Day...YIPPEE, HORRAY!! Three cheers for that!!!
Okay, here goes...today's song is...."Girls Just Wanna Have Fun!" by Cyndi Lauper

Girls Just Want To Have Fun
Cyndi Lauper


I come home in the morning light
my mother says when you gonna live your life right
oh mother dear we're not the fortunate ones
and girls they want to have fun
oh girls just want to have fun

the phone rings in the middle of the night
my father yells what you gonna do with your life
oh daddy dear you know you're still number one
but girls they want to have fun
oh girls just want to have -

that's all they really want
some fun
when the working day is done
girls - they want to have fun
oh girls just want to have fun

some boys take a beautiful girl
and hide her away from the rest of the world
I want to be the one to walk in the sun
oh girls they want to have fun
oh girls just want to have -

that's all they really want
some fun
when the working day is done
girls - they want to have fun
oh girls just want to have fun,
they want to have fun,
they want to have fun...

Alright, that is all for this edition...enjoy all!

Hi All,

It is earlier in the day on Thursday than I usually write in this thing, but I have a midterm exam during class today, so I will therefore not really have time to write a BLOG, does that make sense? I hope so. Anyways, I am sort of having a really rough day today. I know! How can some one say they are having a rough day when really...it just started...but trust me on this one...it is possible. Okay, so here is the deal...I fell down my stairs last night...for those of you who have never been to my house...I have a very steep wooden stair case that runs from my second floor to my main floor...but at the bottom...there is about 15 stairs, and then a very sharp right turn with a wall and then 2 more stairs to the floor...well I fell from the very top, hit the wall and then continued my way down to the bottom of the stair case...I seriously thought I was broken...which I wouldn't have been all that surprised about because...hey, I'm me right? But the fun kicker was that no one was home, so I was lying on my floor by my front door trying to figure out if anything was broken. It probably was a pretty funny sight...But I finally came to the conclusion, that nothing was broken, so I pushed my way up and walked over to the stair case to find out what made me fall. MY BROTHER LEFT HIS DIRTY LAUNDRY AT THE TOP OF THE STAIRS AND I SLIPPED ON THEM!!!!! I was less than thrilled by that one. But I hobbled over to the couch...yes, I said hobbled and stayed there for the rest of the evening...watching "For Better or For Worse" on TLC and American Idol. Both shows were pretty funny. But then I decided to just go to bed, because I was miserable...and most of you know, that when I am feeling miserable..I make everyone else miserable as well. So I went to bed...little did I know that I would feel 20 times worse this morning...has anyone ever felt like their skin was made of leather before? Not a pleasant feeling.

Anyways, this has not been a happy BLOG, but not everyon can be. I will move on now...today is my last day of classes for the week...that makes me happy...but I do have a test...so please pray for me and my test and for my pain that I am in now.

Just before I go on to Jenelle's Song Lyrics of the Day, I would like to make a shout out to April, who has joined the BLOGGIE Fun! Love you April, you are one of my bestest best friends, Welcome to the madness...I only wish I saw you more often.

Oh, one other thing...Graham, you BLOG from yesterday was good...but I'm not sure if even us ladies, know why we do the whole "nothing" and "fine" thing...I just think it is in our nature...I blame W.Bush, that is who I blame...everything is his fault...but of course, if you were to talk to Bush about it...he would just blame France. But that's alright..because Graham, I still love you and I still think you are great and wonderful, and amazing...an I could go on and on...but yeah....

Okay, Jenelle's Song Lyric of the Day is.......by none other than Joey McIntyre

THE WAY THAT I LOVED YOU
JOEY MCINTYRE


You know that I
I gave my best to you,
And me can't you see
I did it all for you.
So where did we go wrong?
Why do we have to sing this song?
Girl, with me you know belong.

And I'll never love
The Way that I loved you
And I'll never kiss
The way that I touched you
I did all for you
And I'll never love that way again.


Girl, it seems to me
You've been gettin' on
And it's plain to see
You didn't cry for long.
So tell me why must we be
Apart for us to see
That we could never ever
Love this way again.

And I'll never love

The Way that I loved you
And I'll never kiss
The way that I touched you
I did all for you
And I'll never love that way again.


Can't we try again?
Does it rally have to end?
Can we reach down deep inside
Find the strength to make this love survive
Oh girl, I did it all for you
If you believe in true romance
Can we give it one more chance?

And I'll never love
The Way that I loved you
And I'll never kiss
The way that I touched you
I did all for you
And I'll never love that way again


I heard that song last night on American Idol, even though Buddy who sang it, murdered it...I still liked it..even though I didn't know who sang it until this morning and I was shocked to find out it was a New Kid On The Block...who remembers them? Anyways, this typing thing is really starting to hurt...so I am out now guys. BYE!!!

Hi All!

Wednesday morning here, and it is still too early to be awake. I want to be back home in bed, sleeping more. I am a huge fan of sleeping. So yeah, I get to class today and there is a message from my 8am class teacher, saying that if we couldn't make it in this morning, then don't come...but did I read that before...no, so I came to class. I also got the good news that the test for today was cancelled...which is good because I didn't actually know there was a test and therefore did not study for it. I will have to do that tonight. Class was boring, all we did was presentations and then worked on our assignment for two weeks from now. Good times right there. Not really at all. Umm...not much to talk about today. Okay, seriously...people in southern ontario...what is with all the snow...sure sure, it looks pretty. It really does, it looks beautiful, I could sit and stare at it for hours...but then I have to go outside and it is FREEZING COLD!!! All thoughts are gone, I can no longer feel my feet. I think I might go to Timmy's soon...thats one good thing about my school...there is a Tim Hortons in the cafeteria....so I am happy. We also have a Subway and a Pizza Pizza. Not to shabby at all. So yeah, I missed American Idol last night, I thought I could make it to 11 to watch it (I have the ability to time shift my programs, YAY DIGITAL CABLE!!!) But I didn't even make it to 9:30...I was exhausted...I spend the afternoon shovelling the sidewalk and driveway...it was a lot of work...I am a very little person...I know, I know...I was maintenance at Hermosa last summer...but still...lifting snow was a lot like lifting gravel...and we all know how well I did at that! Okay, but yeah...I did watch Gilmore Girls, it was an interesting one...they vandalized the 7th Day Adventist/ Jewish church...kinda funny. But yeah, I think that is all I will write for today...and I think the Jenelle's song lyric for the day will be... Bill Medley and Jennifer Warnes "I Had the time of my life" from the Dirty Dancing Soundtrack

(I've Had) The Time of My Life
Bill Medley and Jennifer Warnes


Now I've had the time of my life
No I never felt like this before
Yes I swear it's the truth
And I owe it all to you
'Cause I've had the time of my life
And I owe it all to you


I've been waiting for so long
Now I've finally found someone
To stand by me
We saw the writing on the wall
As we felt this magical
Fantasy

Now with passion in our eyes
There's no way we could disguise it
Secretly
So we take each other's hand
'Cause we seem to understand
The urgency
Just remember

You're the one thing
I can't get enough of
So I'll tell you something
This could be love because

I've had the time of my life
No I never felt this way before
Yes I swear it's the truth
And I owe it all to you

Hey, baby

With my body and soul
I want you more than you'll ever know
So we'll just let it go
Don't be afraid to lose control, no
Yes I know what's on your mind
When you say, "Stay with me tonight"
Just remember

You're the one thing
I can't get enough of
So I'll tell you something
This could be love because

I've had the time of my life
No I never felt this way before
Yes I swear it's the truth
And I owe it all to you


But I've had the time of my life
And I've searched though every open door
Till I found the truth
And I owe it all to you


(SOLO)

Now I've had the time of my life
No I never felt this way before
Yes I swear it's the truth
And I owe it all to you

I've had the time of my life
No I never felt this way before
Yes I swear it's the truth
And I owe it all to you

'Couse I've had the time of my life
And I've searched though every open door
Till I found the truth
And I owe it all to you...

Hi All!

Well, it was a snow day for me...my classes weren't cancelled or anything, but I just didn't make it this morning...mainly because it was snowing like crazy and my road wasn't plowed. But later I found out that the school closed about an hour after my class started...so I didn't miss much. I was happy though, I got to stay home and sleep in and watch my soaps...which I was quite impressed with, I thought they killed off one of my favourite characters from One Life To Live, but nope, Sarah survived, thats right folkes, Sarah "Flash" Roberts survived the attack from the Music Box Killer, which is not Troy MacGuiver after all...I was also very happy about that. But yeah, my plans for tonight consist of curling up on the couch and watch Gilmore Girls and American Idol...fun times. But yeah, that is all I have for today, wow that was short...But Jenelle's Song Lyric of the day comes from "Wind Beneath My Wings" Bette Midler.

Wind Beneath My Wings
( Bette Midler )


Ohhhh, oh, oh, oh, ohhh.
It must have been cold there in my shadow,
To never have sunlight on your face.
You were content to let me shine, that's your way.
You always walked a step behind.

So I was the one with all the glory,
While you were the one with all the strain.
A beautiful face without a name for so long.
A beautiful smile to hide the pain.

Did you ever know that you're my hero,
And everything I would like to be?
I can fly higher than an eagle,
For you are the wind beneath my wings.


It might have appeared to go unnoticed,
But I've got it all here in my heart.
I want you to know I know the truth, of course I know it.
I would be nothing without you.

Did you ever know that you're my hero?
You're everything I wish I could be.
I could fly higher than an eagle,
For you are the wind beneath my wings.


Did I ever tell you you're my hero?
You're everything, everything I wish I could be.
Oh, and I, I could fly higher than an eagle,
For you are the wind beneath my wings,
'Cause you are the wind beneath my wings.


Oh, the wind beneath my wings.
You, you, you, you are the wind beneath my wings.
Fly, fly, fly away. You let me fly so high.
Oh, you, you, you, the wind beneath my wings.
Oh, you, you, you, the wind beneath my wings.

Fly, fly, fly high against the sky,
So high I almost touch the sky.
Thank you, thank you,
Thank God for you, the wind beneath my wings.

Word!

Well, it is now Monday, the weekend went by so quickly. Where does the time go. I spent last night watching the Golden Globes, I was slightly disappointed with the winners last night...but yeah, it was only the Golden Globes! Not the Oscars...those are what really matter. But now, it is Monday, the weekend is over, and I am back in classes. Not sure how long they will keep me here at the school...because the roads are getting really slippery out there and it is snowing like crazy and it is freezing freezing cold! Unfortunately, I don't have much to write today, because it has been fairly uneventful. I came to class, and I am learning how to write the Child Observation Records...yippee...nothing in the world is more fun...actually, that isn't true...almost everything in the world is more fun...including allergy testing...which really isn't fun at all!!!

Okay, wow, I am really boring today, could it be possible that after all this time, I really just don't have anything left to say...that can't be right. Umm...I want to say thank you to Paul, for the very nice email you sent me today, it means the world to me that you took the time to say such nice things to me. Umm...yeah, thanks...okay, that is all I have for today. Maybe, if something exciting happens, I will write more later on today. Okay, Jenelle's Song Lyrics of the day! YIPPEE, HOORAY! Today is Phenominal Woman by Amy Sky

Phenominal Woman
Amy Sky


Pretty women wonder
where my secret lies
I'm not cute or built to suit
a fashion model's size
But when I start to tell them
they think I'm telling lies -I say
It's in the reach of my arms
the span of my hips
the stride of my steps
the curl of my lips

CHORUS

I'm a woman
Phenomenal woman
yes indeed
cause I'm a woman
Phenomenal woman
Baby that's me


I walk into a room
just as cool as you please
And to a man the fellows stand
or fall down on their knees
Then they swarm around me
a hive of honeybees- and I say
It's the fire in my eyes
the flash of my teeth
the swing of my waist
and the joy in my feet

CHORUS

BRIDGE

It's in the arch of my back
the sun of my smile
the span of my waist
the grace of my style

CHORUS

Now you understand
Just why my head's not bowed
I don't shout or jump about
Or have to talk real loud
When you see me passing
It ought to make you proud-I say
It's in the click of my heels
the bend of my hair
the palm of my hand
the need for my care

CHORUS

Bye

Hi All!

Notice I write all...but really...how many people actually read this...I know of one other person besides myself who does...and that is Graham (the loving boyfriend that he is) but I'm sure he just reads it because I make him (j/k) Anyways, today was interesting...yeah...to say the least. To begin with, I had only one child in Sunday School class and that was Rachel...seriously she is insane! So I was trying to do my lesson with her, but she kept talking and talking and talking about ballet and how she won't be around for the Easter Play AGAIN this year...that bugged me just a little...but at least she told me 2 months before instead of the day before and good thing I gave her a minor role of the crowd this year instead of the solider...luckily last year my father was a good enough sport to fill in...he even wore her costume...which was no small feet, let me tell you. But yeah, we are trying out this new curriculum...which so far is a really big hit...but to work, you need more than just one child in the room. ( I teach Jr.Highers) Luckily, two other students arrived shortly after I played the song "When in Doubt" by TFK. So the lesson progressed beyond ballet into 'is it okay to doubt" it was a good time, we all learned alot, like the S.C.R.A.M method to dealing with doubt (S-seek God's Help, C-call it what it is DOUBT!, R-Read what the Bible tells you, A-ask people you trust to help, and M-make a decision and move on) Well..the whole class discussion took longer than I thought and we were all late for church...I grabbed my choir gown and music and had to slip in to the church...but I was fairly noticable...oh well...who cares right. The service was good, we sang my favourite hymn this morning---Just a Closer Walk. A very nice service by fair.

The interesting part of the service occured after the actual service ended...my church held it's 130th annual meeting. Always good for a laugh, this one was no exception...I tried to laugh my way through the whole thing...but when they got to the section of the agenda on the youth ministry...I brust into tears. I was doing alright through the long speak by the head of the Christian Education committee...but when The head of the church counsel started to cry because his children no longer wanted to come to church...I lost it...then I just became angry to the point of tears when they announced that NO ONE in the church was doing anything for the young people! I was like, excuse me? what am I? Chopped liver...Graham tells me that I clearly am. I mean, I teacher their sunday school class...I run their youth sundays. their youth band...how many times have I planned events for them and no one comes...more times than I plan to count. GRRR...it is just so frustrating. Okay, I am done now...this has been the worst BLOG ever, but I feel better having just gotten that all off my chest and vented a little bit.

We will move on shall we to the Jenelle's song lyric of the day! (a loud cheer goes out through the crowd) and the winner is....drum roll please...."Kiss Goodnight" by Ace Troubleshooter

Kiss Good Night
By Ace Troubleshooter


I climbed the door and shut the stairs
I said my shoes and took off my prayers
I brushed my clothes and took off my teeth
I pulled down my alarm and set my sheets
I shut off my bed and I climbed into my light
And all because she kissed me goodnight


Yikes, I never realized how short that song is until now...I think I will do a special double feature of Jenelle's Song Lyrics of the Day, to make up for the short song...although special thanks goes out to my wonderful, fabulous, spectacular boyfriend Graham again, so his suggestion of Kiss Goodnight. Okay, Song number 2 will be.....Big Star by Kenny Chesney.

Big Star
Kenny Chesney


She was aware of her insecurities as she took the stage
She was convinced if she got up there that she would be discovered someday
So she belted
She hit the high notes fearlessly
Oh she melted then, as she brought them to their feet

She was a big star at the nana Joe's bar where
She sang karaoke everynight
She said if you work hard to got where you are it feels good in the hot spotlight
She was a big star


She made the local cable shows where the camera fell in love with her face
After a couple of weekends the groupies were crawling all over the place
She signed autographs like she was Garth Brooks in a skirt
and in the aftermath, that small town was hers

She was a big star at the Banana Joe's bar where
She sang karaoke everynight
She said if you work hard to got where you are it feels good in the hot spotlight
She was a big star


She doesn't care anymore that her high school girlfriends cut her out
The only thought she entertains where they are and where she is now
All her old neighbors swear their certain she slept her way to the top
But she knows you don't get where your going unless you got something they don't got

So she sings tonight to 20,000 plus and the young girls scream out loud
Man that could be us

She's a big star as she eats caviar just before she performs every night
She said if you work hard to got where you are it feels good in the hot spotlight
She's a big star
She's a big star



Okay, I'm out now. Later ya'll

Saturday, January 24, 2004

Hi!

Well...it is Saturday, finally, a day where I did not have to wake up insanely early and I didn't have to cook or clean or do anything...I could just relax really and watch DVD's. So I slept in, which is nice...until 11:30 in the morning. I am a big fan of sleeping in...ask anyone really...it is just a nice experience. When I finally managed to drag myself out of bed, I found that someone in my family had done some grocery shopping so I was able to eat a bagel again, that made me extra extra happy. So I toasted me a bagel and grabbed a drink and settled down on the couch to watch Two Weeks Notice...a rather funny movie I must say. I was just starting it when my father came home and told me that we had to go get my file folder for my Individualized Program Planning class...which is by far my least favourite class EVER! But yeah, so we went and got me the folder, it is greenie-blue and really nice, I like it a lot so now I can finish my assignments that are due. Which is excellent..because anyone who knows me well...knows that I like to get things finished a head of the due date.

I got home from Staples and started on the homework thing, which was short lived because I hate homework, and I was too...whats the word I'm looking for....lazy to do it...so I put it down and started my movie over again, all the while fighting with my brother to gain custody of our computer...he had been on it all day talking to his friends and band members and the like. But finally, Jon surrendered the computer and I was able to check my email....he only gave me 6 minutes though...then he stole it back...next came a huge fight, but luckily I will and now I am on the computer Blogging and talking on MSN to Graham....but that has been all I got accomplished today...thats sad...oh well. I don't care. Thats all I have to write right now...so the Jenelle Lyric of the day is...............The Fishy Song by Philmore...it makes me laugh, a special thanks goes out to my wonderful boyfriend Graham, who introduced me to the song.

Philmore Fishy Lyrics

Sometimes I wonder
If I'll ever find her
The one that God's chosen for me
And what if I find her,
But she doesn't like me,
I guess that disproves destiny
But I should know better,
The sea is much wetter
With plenty of fishes to see
(For you and me)
And I know my Father
Has scoped out the water
And picked out a fishy for me

Jesus has a girl for me
she's everything I want her to be (Yeah!)
Jesus has a girl for me
I know he does just wait and see
Jesus has a girl for me
She's everything I want her to be
Jesus has a girl for me
And I'll love her, and she'll love me

Once in a while
I'm tempted to hook up
With any old Suzy or Jane
Who cares what she is like,
As long as she's pretty,
I don't even hafta know her name
But I should know better the sea is much wetter
With plenty of fishes to see
And I know my father
Has scoped out the water
And picked out a fishy for me

Jesus has a girl for me
I know he does because he told me
In his word, the Bible
The desires of my heart he'd give me
Every good and perfect gift,
We know is from above
But there is one gift that I haven't got
And that's the gift of love,
Now I know Jesus loves me
And I am so in love with Him
But that's a different kind of love, love, love,
That I've been thinking of

I want a girl with big, brown eyes
And smile so sweet,
Where is the girl who loves Jesus as much as me?
I want a girl, I want a girl,
With big brown eyes and smile so sweet
I want a girl, I want a girl,
Who loves Jesus..... Just as much as me

Thanks so reading.

Hey all...

okay, todays Blog is going to be short, sweet and to the point...kinda like me! I'm short, I'm sweet and I am to the point. Okay, that was dumb, but I am too tired to care...moving on. So yeah, I worked at the church ALL DAY! Boy, those BCOQers are needy! Always wanting something else...they don't like tonic water. SO DON'T DRINK IT!!! Seriously, it's not difficult, there are 7 other types of drinks to pick from...take one of them! Some peoples kids I tell ya! But yeah, so I spent the entire day on my feeting getting this and that for these people...and do I get a thank you? No, I most certainly do not, that is apparently asking for too much! So mainly speaking...I do not like the BCOQ...at least they are gone now and we don't have to worry about hosting them for another 10 years and hopefully by then, I will not be at this same church...and even better would be if my new church happened to have hosted them the year before I move to that church so I can avoid them then too...oh I dream big don't I? Now, I plan to just spend a relaxing evening at home, although I do need to get some things from the mall for school...but maybe I will get that over with and then relax...we will see how it goes. Okay...that is all I am writing for now....it's time for Jenelle's Song Lyrics of the Day...Let's see...today I will put down.... "We didn't start the fire" by Billy Joel

Hi All!

Wow, it is already Thursday and my last day of school for the week. That is right everyone, my schedule gives me Fridays Off...not a bad deal if I do say so myself. I'm not sure how many of you come back regularily to check up on me, but for those of you who do...Thanks, it is very important to me to know that people care enough about me to want to know more about me. Currently I am in my favourite class, School Aged Child Care, it is an amazing class...I have it twice a week. Before school started today I spent the morning in my church (which is next door to my house) preparing lunch for the BCOQ counsel...I have to go back after school to help out with dinner. I got to talk to a good acquaintance Elaine this morning, it was nice to talk to her again and I was able to find out about friends that I haven't been able to talk to in a few weeks. I was also able to talk to the minister who is going to marry my sister and her fiance...did I mention that my sister is getting married in May? Yeah, she sure is and I get to be the maid of honour. I am pretty excited about that, although I am a little nervous...but Graham told me I have nothing to worry about and I am going to trust that. The serving of the meal to the BCOQ was uneventful really...I did what I needed to do and they were actually civil, I was told that the heated disccussions will take place in the afternoon and I am missing it! Oh Boo! Oh well...I will survive

So last night, I got out of school about 1/2 hour early which is nice, I like getting home early. I was supposed to be able to go on the computer to talk to Graham last night but my brother enjoys procrastinating and he didn't finish his take home exam (whats with this take home exam anyways? When I was in high school...there was no such thing) But it was due this morning, so he needed to work on it all night, so I couldn't make it online...I spent the evening watch reality shows...what is with that...I never used to like reality shows...Survivor was the only one I watched...but now I am watching American Idol and Bachalorette. It is crazy, but I can't get enough of them. But American Idol was just horrible last night, my ears were in so much pain. What is with Texas? There was hardly any good singers there at all...it was bad, really bad. The Bachalorette was alright, she kept the people that I liked, so it was good. Ummm...that is all that I got for today...I hope you all enjoyed my BLOG for the day...maybe I will write more tonight, oh wait...no I probably won't because I have choir tonight, I really like choir...not so much the people in the choir but I love to sing..anyone who knows me really well knows that. But yeah, I will write some time tomorrow after I get home from serving the BCOQ and I have to go shopping for some things for the wedding. Anyways, okay, song lyrics for the day can be found in the movie "How to Lose a Guy in 10 days." "You're so Vain" by Carly Simon, a good song from the 1970s.

You're so Vain
Carly Simon


You walked into the party like you were walking onto a yacht
Your hat strategically dipped below one eye
Your scarf it was apricot
You had one eye in the mirror as you watched yourself gavotte
And all the girls dreamed that they'd be your partner
They'd be your partner, and...

You're so vain, you probably think this song is about you
You're so vain, I'll bet you think this song is about you
Don't you? Don't You?


You had me several years ago when I was still quite naive
Well you said that we made such a pretty pair
And that you would never leave
But you gave away the things you loved and one of them was me
I had some dreams, they were clouds in my coffee
Clouds in my coffee, and...

You're so vain, you probably think this song is about you
You're so vain, I'll bet you think this song is about you
Don't you? Don't You? Don't You?


I had some dreams they were clouds in my coffee
Clouds in my coffee, and...

You're so vain, you probably think this song is about you
You're so vain, I'll bet you think this song is about you
Don't you? Don't You?


Well I hear you went up to Saratoga and your horse naturally won
Then you flew your lear jet up to Nova Scotia
To see the total eclipse of the sun
Well you're where you should be all the time
And when you're not you're with
Some underworld spy or the wife of a close friend
Wife of a close friend, and...

You're so vain, you probably think this song is about you
You're so vain, I'll bet you think this song is about you
Don't you? Don't You? Don't you?


You're so vain, you probably think this song is about you
You're so vain, I'll bet you think this song is about you

Well...if you can believe it, it is Wednesday and 8 am, and I am already awake and have been at my school for an hour now. BOO! Just so people know, my school is in Brampton, ON, which is conveniently where I live. There really isn't much to talk about so far today, because it is way way too early. I can write about yesterday though...Graham came over around 3 when I got home from school. We watched The Blue Collar Comedy Tour Movie in the basement which was FREEZING!!!! I seriously do not like winter, it is too cold. Spring needs to happen now...thats right, Jenelle has spoken. Winter MUST end and Spring needs to start. After the movie ended, we had dinner, my father made a ham, it was yummy...although we ran out of honey mustard...so it wasn't as good as it could have been. After dinner, we listened to some music on my computer as I tried to pick out "Jenelle's Song of the day" At 8, we watched American Idol, I seriously love that show...normally, like way back when the show started the first time...I was totally against it...but now I love it...true, the first few episodes cause my ears to bleed...but it is still fun. Then, we went to Timmy's, Graham had coffee and I had my cafe mocha...which apparently isn't coffee...but whatever, I still think it is. Then he had to go home :-( Boo...but thats okay, he will come back again.

Today's class is really boring so far. I am not a big fan of this class. I can't wait for it to be over, but it will soon be over, then I can get me some lunch and I actually enjoy the next class...it is school aged child care...and that is something that really interests me. It is a class that challenges me. The teacher is awesome, he seems to be a good teacher and he really wants to see us succeed in this subject. I really like it.

Tonight is the night where the BCOQ counsel is coming to my church for their meeting...for those of you who don't go to a Baptist church...the BCOQ is the Baptist Convention of Ontario and Quebec. They are the head guys of our church...it is going to be kinda scary...yep, Darren will be there...for those of you who don't know Darren...boy are you lucky! I get to serve them meals. It's going to be GREAT! Please note the sarcasm in that comment.

Okay, that is all I have for right now...well except for my song lyrics of the day...Maybe I will write later today, but that will all depend on what I am up to. Okay, keep checking back for updates...lots of insights into my stunning life. Y'all...write me some times.

Okay, Song for today is.....I'm Sure Gonna Miss Her, By Brad Paisley

I'm Sure Gonna Miss Her
Brad Paisley


Well I love her
But I love to fish
I spend all day out on this lake
And hell is all I catch
Today she met me at the door
Said I would have to choose
If I hit that fishin' hole today
She'd be packin' all her things
And she'd be gone by noon

Well I'm gonna miss her
When I get home
But right now I'm on this lakeshore
And I'm sittin' in the sun
I'm sure it'll hit me
When I walk through that door tonight
That I'm gonna miss her
Oh, lookie there, I've got a bite

Now there's a chance that if I hurry
I could beg her to stay
But that water's right
And the weather's perfect
No tellin' what I might catch today

Well I'm gonna miss her
When I get home
But right now I'm on this lakeshore
And I'm sittin' in the sun
I'm sure it'll hit me
When I walk through that door tonight
That I'm gonna miss her
Oh, lookie there, I've got a bite

Yeah, I'm gonna miss her
Oh, lookie there, I've got a bite

Hi!

Well...I finally succombed to the pressure of those around me and got myself one of this little Bloggie things that are apparently "all the rave" It took a lot of convincing and a lot of thought went into what I could possible write about in this thing...and I finally decided...this will be a look into my daily life, all the details that go into a day in the life of me! Hence the title of "A Stunning Look to Life" Yippee!!! The other aspect of this thing blog whatever...is to give you lyrics to my favourite song of the day...it changes that often. Okay...so here we go...a day in the life of me.

So after being up way way too late last night, I was watching The Blue Collar Comedy Tour Movie...so funny! Recommend that movie for everyone. But yeah, so I didn't get to go to bed until the wee hours of the morning. I woke up a little late this morning because of the tiredness and rushed around trying to get ready for school. I had a quick shower and got dressed and did the whole make up thing and rushed out the door to go to the great school of SHERIDAN COLLEGE! I got to the school and had to wait for a long time outside my classroom because the class before us took forever to clean up their stuff and get out...seriously they are supposed to get out of the classroom at 11:50 so that our class has time to get set up (we are computerized! The school gave me a lap top to use, that was nice of them eh?) But yeah, class was really bad, boring and not good at all...we were working on our projects and it is so confusing...days like this make me wonder why I am in ECE after all. But yeah, during our break I went to the book store because I had to buy the only text book required for this semester. It only cost me 10 dollars, so it wasn't that bad at all. I also bought some chocolate...because lets face it...I like chocolate. But class will be over soon and then I get to go home, I like going home and today Graham is coming over, which is always fun. But for now...that is all that is happening so I will close this blog thing by adding my song lyrics of the day...it is a song called "Check Yes or No" by George Strait

Check Yes or No
George Strait

It started way back in third grade
I used to sit beside Emmylou Hayes
A pink dress, a matching bow, and her ponytail
She kissed me on the school bus but told me not to tell
Next day I chased her around the playground
'Cross the monkey bars to the merry-go-round
And Emmylou got caught passing me a note
Before the teacher took it I read what she wrote

Chorus:
Do you love me do you want to be my friend
And if you do
Well then don't be afraid to take me by the hand
If you want to
I think this is how love goes
Check yes or no


Now we're grown up and she's my wife
Still like two kids with stars in our eyes
Not much has changed I still chase Emmylou
Up and down the hall around the bed in our room
Last night I took her out in a white limousine
Twenty years together she still gets to me
Can't believe it's been that long ago
When we got started with just a little note

Chorus
