			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I have never been the kind of person who would censor her blog (hell, I am not the kind of person to censor 99% of what comes out of my mouth), however recent events have me reticent to write here. And not because anyone in my life has asked me not to. I just feel that I am spectator on a journey and that I have actually learned a thing or two in the past 2 years. Sometimes, it&#8217;s better to keep your big mouth shut.</p>
<p>So. Besides all that, my sister and I had an AWESOME visit. Seriously, we had a great time. We spent a day lazing about and watching Charmed. We had a sibling dinner. We had serious talks and ridiculous antics. We saw a 1/4 of a concert and got lost driving to Ballard. We had our Astrological charts read (seriously, folks, <a title="Rene Aceves" href="http://www.partypop.com/Vendors/3714755.htm" target="_blank">Rene</a> is AWESOME) and we visited <a title="Dale-Best Tattoo Artist EVER" href="http://www.facebook.com/#!/album.php?id=249544598907&amp;aid=188080" target="_blank">Dale</a> at <a title="Skin and Soul" href="http://www.skinandsoulonline.com/" target="_blank">Skin and Soul </a>to get 3 new tattoos each:</p>
<p><a title="Language of Zibu" href="http://www.languageofzibu.com/" target="_blank">Angelic Symbol </a>for Truth (located on the back of my left arm, directly above the elbow)</p>
<p><a href="http://www.jeniangel.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/Truth-Tattoo.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-2240" title="Truth Tattoo" src="http://www.jeniangel.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/Truth-Tattoo-225x300.jpg" alt="" width="225" height="300" /></a></p>
<p><a title="Language of Zibu" href="http://www.languageofzibu.com/" target="_blank">Angelic Symbol </a>for Honesty (located on the back of my right arm, directly above the elbow)</p>
<p><a href="http://www.jeniangel.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/Honesty-Tattoo.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-2241" title="Honesty Tattoo" src="http://www.jeniangel.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/Honesty-Tattoo-225x300.jpg" alt="" width="225" height="300" /></a></p>
<p>Dawn got an Elephant (located on her right shoulder)</p>
<p><a href="http://www.jeniangel.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/Elephant-Tattoo.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-2242" title="Elephant Tattoo" src="http://www.jeniangel.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/Elephant-Tattoo-300x169.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="169" /></a></p>
<p>This is her reminder to always address the elephant in the room and to always eat your elephant one bite at a time. I LOVE the way her elephant turned out. LOVE</p>
<p>Dawn also got this Sun and Moon with the initials of the boys, along with a teeny tiny puzzle piece (which is for <a href="http://www.autismspeaks.org/" target="_blank">Autism Awareness</a>). (located on her upper, left hand shoulder blade).</p>
<p><a href="http://www.jeniangel.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/Sun-and-Moon-Tattoo.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-2243" title="Sun and Moon Tattoo" src="http://www.jeniangel.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/Sun-and-Moon-Tattoo-300x169.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="169" /></a></p>
<p>We both also got a small <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evil_eye" target="_blank">evil eye </a>on our left wrist (for some reason, I have no pics). A great reminder not to judge others (aka giving them the evil eye).</p>
<p>Honestly, it was wonderful to be out of work for 6 days in a row, surrounded by the people I love most.</p>
<p>Alas, now it is back to work and my busy schedule. On top, of which, I need to really buckle down and focus on my Life and Health test. I need to just get it over with because then I will be done with tests for a long, long time.</p>]]></content:encoded>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Good luck figuring out where THAT quote is from (except Joe-he&#8217;s not allowed to guess).</p>
<p>Michael is going out of town this weekend. Normally, I&#8217;m like &#8220;Spring Break, Woo Hoo!&#8221;, but that&#8217;s when I had friends. In the past, on these lovely alone weekends, I would <a href="http://www.jeniangel.com/blog/2008/03/30/grayest-party-ever/" target="_blank">throw a party no one comes to</a>. No one except Heidi. Alas, those days are long gone. I have no one to waste my free weekend with. I&#8217;ll likely end up alone on the couch: dirty, smelly and covered in Gray.</p>
<p>Actually, I was thinking I&#8217;d really like to get a facial, but ever since I broke up with Gene Juarez, I have yet to find a place for my face (he he. That rhymed). I also haven&#8217;t really had the $$$ for a facial, but I do have it right now. I just need to find a place . . . . I have also been thinking about getting botox. Seriously. Those 2 lines between my eyebrows are annoying. BUT . . . When I was in 5th grade, I decided it was time to shave my legs. I was, like, 10. I didn&#8217;t need to shave my legs, but I wanted to. I was &#8220;so cool&#8221; because I did and all the other girls wanted to be just like me. Translation? I have been shaving my fucking legs for 17 damn years. I probably have another good 40 years to go. What a fucking idiot. Which leads me to think . . . if I start botox now . . . it&#8217;s going to be a long, long life of needles. I am reconsidering.</p>
<p>When I started this blog post, I thought &#8220;I don&#8217;t want to talk about Heidi. All I do is talk about Heidi&#8221;. However, I really have nothing else to talk about. In the last 3 weeks, almost every &#8220;Daily Kabbalah Tune-Up&#8221; has been about &#8220;waiting until it&#8217;s too late to say you&#8217;re sorry&#8221; and &#8220;Reach out to someone you haven&#8217;t been getting along with&#8221; or &#8220;you get what you give&#8221;. Basically telling me I need to try and fix this. I want to fix it. I don&#8217;t know how. Honestly, I have spent the last week trying to figure out what went wrong exactly.</p>
<p>This much I know (in bullet points, from my point of view):<span id="more-1848"></span></p>
<ul>
<li>Joe came to visit me for my birthday</li>
<li>He asked if Heidi was hot and indicated he wanted to &#8220;hook-up&#8221; with her</li>
<li>I told Heidi</li>
<li>It was talked about-a lot</li>
<li>We went to Palmers, Joe and Heidi made out-a lot</li>
<li>We went to Heidi&#8217;s house with Taco Bell</li>
<li>Michael left Joe there to spend the night</li>
<li>They both talked about &#8220;what a great connection they had&#8221;</li>
<li>I feel a little peeved</li>
<li>Joe leaves, they begin long-distance dating</li>
<li>Thanksgiving, the whole family is here. I hate JoeandHeidi. Not Joe or Heidi, but them together</li>
<li>There is a HUGE melt-down at Palmers.</li>
<li>In the end, everything stays the same-except I feel perpetually angry. However, my life is pretty much in shambles due to work situation, so it could be that too</li>
<li>Joe and Heidi decide they are &#8220;exclusive&#8221;</li>
<li>Joe and Heidi only ever talk about Joe and Heidi.</li>
<li>Angry</li>
<li>Joe come for our trip to Ocean Shores. I hate JoeandHeidi, but have learned to hide it well</li>
<li>Joe and Heidi break-up</li>
<li>Heidi is mad because I can&#8217;t &#8220;be there&#8221; for her during her break-up. Even though, after being there for her last break-up, I have specifically told her I can&#8217;t be that person.</li>
<li>Heidi and I have it in the worst way possible-via email. We both say horrible things</li>
</ul>
<p>After spending months thinking about it, I realize that I said the things I said to Heidi because I am pissed. I am pissed at her and I am pissed at Joe. I&#8217;m pissed because, yes, I knew and condoned them &#8220;hooking up&#8221;, but never, ever did I say I wanted them to have a relationship. And they never asked. Joe should have known better. He has gone down this road before, hooking-up with my friends. In those cases-it was MY FRIENDS who called me, told me, apologized. Isn&#8217;t it just a life rule not to hook up with your friend&#8217;s siblings? Neither Joe, nor Heidi respected their relationship with ME enough to even ASK. Or to recognize what I felt at Thanksgiving. All they felt was &#8220;oh, woe is me, mean Jeni is trying to keep us apart&#8221;. At least that is what I saw/heard.</p>
<p>And I took out most of my anger on Heidi. To be honest, I always take out my anger on people I care about and trust the most. Like my mom. Or Michael. One of my many, many flaws. It just infuriates me-they both are still buddy, buddy and I have nothing. I haven&#8217;t even seen my other friends because of what Heid said they think about me. I don&#8217;t have anyone here (except Michael) that I trust. And I am sick of being lonely.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m sick of this whole fucking thing, and yet, it won&#8217;t go away.</p>]]></content:encoded>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So here&#8217;s what happened.</p>
<p>Before I left, I was doing a pretty good job of posting once or twice a week. And really, once you have that momentum, it&#8217;s easy to keep it up. However, once I left, I didn&#8217;t post for 10 days. And then, the thought of posting and writing about the vacay seemed daunting. Then the thoughts about writing about my work drama seemed exhausting. So I had nothing to write about. And I couldn&#8217;t really get into it. Every time I thought of writing here, I thought of 5 million other things that would be so much more fun. It has really just become a vicious cycle: not posting makes it harder and harder to want to post.</p>
<p>But I, like you, am fucking sick of seeing the same damn shit up every time I click on my own damn page so I guess I have to write SOMETHING.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s been pretty damn rough since I came back from the Wedding that never was. I found out that we are being kicked out of our office. And let me tell you-IT SUCKS. I have pretty much been an emotional basket case. I mean, I always knew that my co-workers made the job for me. Literally. My job is boring. I don&#8217;t love it. But, I&#8217;d rather work at a boring, OK job with people I love, than a job I love with people I can&#8217;t stand (trust me, I&#8217;ve done this).</p>
<p>So, since I have come back and this news has been confirmed I have been depressed and crying randomly at my desk. I didn&#8217;t go to <a href="http://www.jennsylvania.com/" target="_blank">Jen&#8217;s</a> book signing because I just couldn&#8217;t get it up (Haven&#8217;t written a review for <a href="http://search.barnesandnoble.com/Such-a-Pretty-Fat/Jen-Lancaster/e/9780451223890/?itm=1" target="_blank">Such a Pretty Fat</a> for the same reason).</p>
<p>And you know what? IT FUCKING SUCKS. FYI: Being sad and depressed sucks. Also? If one more person tells me &#8220;A year from now, this will probably be the best thing that could have happened&#8221; I will fucking donkey punch them.</p>
<p>Let&#8217;s see . . . anything else going on? No, not really. That has pretty much been all consuming. We are going to see <a href="http://www.sexandthecitymovie.com/" target="_blank">Sex and the City: The Movie</a> Friday (of course). That should be good times. We are going out for drinks beforehand and after, we will probably go check out the new swanky bowling alley, <a href="http://www.bowlluckystrike.com/" target="_blank">Lucky Strike</a>. I have thought about going so many times before, but since they have a dress code, I have always been obviously under-dressed. I mean, since everything is so close, I have sadly become way to comfortable to go EVERYWHERE in my pajamas.</p>
<p>And that&#8217;s it. Hopefully now that I have broken my silence, I will be able to start posting regularly again. Of course, if you hold your breath, I am going to feel really bad at your funeral.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Ah, as usual, I haven&#8217;t posted in awhile. As usual, my excuse is a busy life. Which I guess is better than a boring life.</p>
<div>We went to MN for Thanksgiving to spend time with Michael&#8217;s family. His brother, Shawn, his wife, Marcie, and their new baby, Kiera, were a delight to spend a few days with. I cooked Thanksgiving dinner (thanks to <a href="http://www.realsimple.com/realsimple/gallery/0,21863,1667632,00.html" target="_blank">great recipes</a> from <a href="http://www.realsimple.com/" target="_blank">Real Simple</a>). I am actually impressed with how well it turned out. It&#8217;s good to know I can follow a recipe. I got to spend some quality time with my brother (who helped me shop) and had a great day/night with Dad, Audrey and Joe. Sadly, Dad and I lost Pictionary, but Joe and I dominated Catch Phrase.</div>
<div>Now it&#8217;s back home. I have been trying to overcome my laziness or perhaps fear of studying for my S66. I actually took a test last night, so hopefully I can keep the ball rolling.</div>
<div>The other thing that has been occupying my time is my renewed interest in my Kabbalah studies. I began (and even <a href="http://www.jeniangel.com/blog/2004/11/09/hide-and-seek/" target="_blank">talked about it</a> on this blog) back in Nov. of &#8217;04. In May of &#8217;05, I was reading a book, <a href="http://store.kabbalah.com/product_info.php?cPath=145&amp;vcats=145&amp;page=all&amp;products_id=331" target="_blank">God Wears Lipstick</a>, but I was also having HUGE personal problems. I just stopped reading. And even though I still wore my red string or read my Daily Tune-Up, I wasn&#8217;t practicing Kabbalah in any real way in my life. I&#8217;ve come to realize that I just wasn&#8217;t ready at the time. Michael and I went to a Kabbalah class a few weeks ago and everything has changed. We were having a very rough time in our relationship and the class opened the door for us to finally figure out what was going on. Subsequently, I picked up God Wears Lipstick again read the whole thing. AND it made sense! It made sense in a way I would have never understood back in May of &#8217;05. I would have never been able to grasp the concepts.</div>
<div>Michael and I joined a bi-weekly study group and we are really enjoying it. We are also committing to read other books for at least an hour a night. I have to say, my behaviors have been changing for the better and I can feel it in my day to day life. It feels great to understand they ways in which I can make my days good or bad and actually see that happen.</div>
<div>Maybe it&#8217;s all a little preachy to some of you, but I don&#8217;t care. I feel really good. All my gloom of October is gone. My relationships are stronger. I&#8217;m happy.</div>
<div>One of my biggest changes (maybe you noticed via my links on the sidebar) is my gossip site diet. I am now 1 week gossip site free. I realized reading Perez and Dlisted, etc every day was just feeding my horrible tendency to judge. And boy, do I love to judge. I also realized that in my head I think &#8220;Well, those people aren&#8217;t real. It&#8217;s not like I am judging my co-workers or something.&#8221;But it all is the same. Whether it is Britney Spears or Jody, it&#8217;s all the same. Plus, it was a gateway drug-It&#8217;s not easy to spend all day reading those sites judging people and then turn that off when you go out in the world. I realized I couldn&#8217;t go to the big freezer without judging 99% of the people I saw. It&#8217;s just not healthy-for me or for the people I do it to. Not that I am perfect. I still slip and judge, think bad things. But I&#8217;m trying. I know that counts.</div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A husband goes to the doctor and says, “I have a big problem with my wife. She doesn&#8217;t want to admit she is deaf.” The doctor tells him, “There is a simple test. When you get to the doorstep, scream, ‘honey, what&#8217;s for dinner?” If there is no answer, move closer a few steps and ask again. Move another step and another until she answers.”</p>
<p>The husband comes home, stops at the door, and yells out, &#8220;Honey, what&#8217;s for dinner?&#8221; Silence. He takes another step and asks again, still no answer. He is within a few inches and he screams, &#8220;Honey, what&#8217;s for dinner?!&#8221; She turns to him and says, “I answered you four times. We are having soup!”</p>
<p>The faults we see in others are quite often what we can’t bear to see in ourselves. Think about this today. Look at others’ annoying behaviors and ask yourself, &#8220;Is that what I’m like?&#8221;</p>

<p>I love <a href="http://timmuh.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Tim</a>.</p>
<p>I had lunch with him and Louisa today. It made me feel so. . . .normal. I feel like I haven&#8217;t had a normal (read: doing anything fun) life in forever.</p>
<p>I am feeling better. I decided it&#8217;s stupid to be so upset over other people. You can&#8217;t make people love you. You can&#8217;t make people understand you. You just have to do your best and be comfortable with yourself and your decisions. I&#8217;ll be fine. I mean . . . I&#8217;ve dealt with people leaving me my whole life. What&#8217;s a few more??</p>

<p>Life is a marathon, not a sprint. There may be times when you feel tired and confused. When that happens, you have to ease up and take it easy on yourself. Allow yourself to embrace the weariness. Many of your greatest breakthroughs come when you&#8217;ve reached the final straw. Don&#8217;t think that you can&#8217;t handle it &#8211; you are never given more than you can handle, no matter what you tell yourself.</a></p></blockquote>

<p>Michael is home tomorrow. We move this weekend. I had a mini-freak out in Target the other day. I was buying some items for the move (Hello Shower Curtain) and suddenly had a panic attack about Hawaii. Mostly about the fact that I have no &#8220;summer&#8221; clothes and I am whiter than snow. Normally, I am OK with being white. I mean 1) I am, in fact, white and 2) cancer just isn&#8217;t for me. However the thought of all the other people who would probably be much browner then me (I am mexican for God&#8217;s sake!) made me feel sad. So I bought Bronzer to wear all week and then I also discovered that <a href="http://www.jergens.com/NaturalGlow/index.asp" target="_blank">lotion</a> that is supposed to make you gradually darker. I picked some up, along with some teeth whitener. I am going for a cross of Ross. Ross from Friends. There&#8217;s an episode when he has his teeth whitened and an episode where he gets too much spray tan on one part of his body. I think it will be a good look for me.</p>
<p>Michael is lucky to have me.</p>]]></content:encoded>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So, before I say anything else, I would like to HIGHLY recommend this recipe. It is my fav kind of recipe in that:</p>
<ul>
<li>It has little to no prep work</li>
<li>Basically everything is thrown together then cooked-i.e. I do nothing but check if it&#8217;s done</li>
<li>When it&#8217;s done, it tastes like I am genius and should have my own restaurant.</li>
</ul>
<p>The meal is called <a href="http://www.mealtime.org/recipe_detail.aspx?rid=325&amp;ref=Rarea=sr::Rstart_page=2::Rby=title" target="_blank">Crunchy, Creamy, Cheesy Baked Chicken</a> . . . mmm, mmm, good.</p>
<p>Ingredients:</p>
<ul>
<li>6 chicken boneless and skinless breast halves</li>
<li>6 slices Swiss cheese</li>
<li>1 can (10 3/4 ounce) condensed cream of chicken or cream of mushroom soup (I used Mushroom)</li>
<li>1/3 cup white wine or water (I used wine)</li>
<li>1 package stuffing mix</li>
<li>2 tablespoons butter, melted</li>
</ul>
<p>Preparation Time: Approximately 10 minutes<br />
Cook Time: Approximately 40 minutes</p>
<p>Preparation:<br />
Heat the oven to 350°F.</p>
<p>Arrange the chicken in a single layer in the bottom of a 9- x 13- inch baking dish. Top each piece of chicken with cheese. Combine the soup and wine, and pour over the chicken. Sprinkle with a layer of stuffing mix, and top with melted butter. Bake for 40 minutes until the chicken is cooked through.</p>
<p>Servings: 6</p>
<p>Nutritional Information Per Serving: 469 calories; 64.16 g protein; 12.04 g carbohydrate; 17.26 g total fat; 7.62 g saturated fat; 176 mg cholesterol; 732 mg sodium. Calories from fat: 33 percent.</p>
<p>Let me tell you-RAVE Reviews. AND I QUOTE &#8220;This is the best meal I have ever had-restaurant or otherwise&#8221;</p>
<p>Moving right along . . .</p>
<p>OK, well I don&#8217;t really have anything to move on to. Everyone has been well aware of the Christmas Drama that ensued yesterday. And at the end of the day-no name drawing. GEEZ.</p>
<p>I am pretty happy that I have knocked a few things off the ole X-mas list. I think the present that have been selected so far are good-I am a little sad, though, that the bar is being set high. What the hell am I supposed to get next year? I guess I will have to worry about that then.</p>
<p>I have a lowkey weekend planned. Mostly going to stay home. Maybe clean. If I am not too lazy. But really, that is asking a lot. I wish I was more exciting, but I have been living the boring life lately. Basically, go home, work on a project, brush teeth, go to bed. It&#8217;s kind of nice though. I have to soak it up. My nice little cushy and wonderfully boring life will most likely me bye bye soon. Sad times.</p>
<p>OK. . .I got nothing.</p>

<p>You can read the whole thing, but my favorite part was:</p>
<blockquote><p><em>As the sages teach, “praiseworthy is the human who is happy with his lot.”</em></p>
<p><em>In other words, your destiny lies in your ability to be happy. If you’re holding onto negativity, you need to drop it because it’s going to burn you up. The power of excitement and happiness can transform any problem you face. If walking around with a stupid smile on your face means you’re crazy, then go ahead and get crazy!</em></p></blockquote>
<p>Yes, this is a rare moment of perkiness from the usual Jeni.</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t worry, we will soon return to our regularly scheduled program.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>**WARNING-this post may be long, rambling, and may cause a vein to burst in either my Sister or Brother&#8217;s head. &#8220;I&#8217;d turn back if I were you&#8221; **</p>
<p><a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/7696/515/1600/Haunted_Forest.jpg"><img style="display:block;text-align:center;cursor:pointer;margin:0 auto 10px;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/7696/515/320/Haunted_Forest.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br />
I am trying to figure out if I am infinitely stupid or stupidly in love. And really, what&#8217;s the difference? I know that every time I talk to him, I am putting myself back at square 1 (-1,000,000 according to Dawn). But I don&#8217;t care. At least not in the moment. In the moment-all I can think (forgive the 16 year old tone) &#8220;He called me! He wants to talk to me! He likes me! I AM WINNING&#8221; Is it a competition? Well . . . I guess some part of me has always felt that, although I never really realized it before. I don&#8217;t like to lose. Hell-I can&#8217;t even lose 90&#8242;s Trivia gracefully (yeah-I lost OK . . . you were just lucky bastards)-so why would I want to lose this competition-if that&#8217;s what it is. I know that this all a bunch of blah, blah, blah from my Ego. I KNOW that. I Know that. It doesn&#8217;t make the feeling go away. I have nothing. I&#8217;m not kidding. There is nothing here to stop me. There are no friends to give me a hard time. No one to distract me. There is nothing. There is love. And as hard as it is for me to admit-I love him a lot. I desperately want to make it go away, but I can&#8217;t. I can&#8217;t turn it off. What&#8217;s more is-I am losing the best (est) friend I have here. The person I went to see Spiderman 2 with. The only person the <acronym title="All my gray cat children">Grays</acronym> love more than me. The one who bought me sheets that match my tattoos. And yes-I know there is a whole list of bad things too. But, it&#8217;s one thing to give up a lover-it&#8217;s quite another to just give up a friend. I mean, how many times in our life do we stop being friends with someone? Most of the time, friendships end because people change, they move, they get married or some other significant dynamic change. They don&#8217;t just end abruptly.     It doesn&#8217;t help when I have to see him. Always. I always have to see him. Without fail I run into him. He doesn&#8217;t always see me when I am there, but when he does-it&#8217;s worse. Like today. I didn&#8217;t exactly fall off the wagon . . . But there was blue eyes and coffee and conversations and I wanted every second of it. I won&#8217;t lie. I wanted every second of it. I wanted more.</p>
<p>So . . .is there a difference between infinitely stupid and stupidly in love? I still don&#8217;t know.</p>
<p>Wendy (my therapist) says I am showing the signs of depression and if I am not careful it&#8217;s going to get a lot worse. The signs being: hibernating, not sleeping, not eating, not cleaning, not caring, making up excuses to go into work late, making up excuses to leave work early, etc. . . Well, it doesn&#8217;t help my cause that this afternoon was the first time I have felt happy in forever. Although it&#8217;s fleeting . . .     I just am unsure. I don&#8217;t know where to go and what to do or how to find the answers.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I have to confess. This will be a secret shame no longer. Judge me if you will (I know Dawn&#8217;s Red String is about to fall off).</p>
<p>I like Hilary Duff. Wait-I LOVE Hilary Duff.</p>
<p><a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/7696/515/1600/duff.jpg"><img style="display:block;text-align:center;cursor:pointer;margin:0 auto 10px;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/7696/515/320/duff.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br />
(Most pics stolen from <a href="http://trent.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Trent</a> )</p>
<p><a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/7696/515/1600/duff%202.jpg"><img style="float:left;cursor:pointer;margin:0 10px 10px 0;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/7696/515/320/duff%202.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a>I know what you are thinking-How could Jeni-OUR Jeni-love Hilary Duff. It&#8217;s against everything she believes. She was the one ready to turn Dawn in for Child Endangerment when she heard <acronym title="My nephew. He\'s an incredible child. The light in my life. ">Matthew</acronym> singing <a href="http://www.stagestars.net/hilaryduff/lyrics/metamorphosis/track2/" target="_blank">Come Clean</a>.    Let me explain . . .</p>
<p>Do you remember how much I disliked Brad Pitt back in the day? I thought he had no talent. I didn&#8217;t find him attractive-I didn&#8217;t know what all the fuss was about. But then-the lovely and talented Ms. Aniston started dating him. And, well, everything changed. I mean, if JENNIFER ANISTON was going to date the guy (and even marry him-even though we all know what a mistake THAT was), then I could certainly give him a chance. So I did.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s the same concept with Ms. Hilary. I formerly thought of her as another teeny bopper. A Disney Queen, who was only famous because of her blonde hair and cute face. Oh, how wrong I was. Look at her!! She is gorgeous, she isn&#8217;t on the Skeletwins diet (and if you don&#8217;t know what Skeletwins are-PLEASE go see <a href="http://trent.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Trent</a> -and really, how can we be friends, yet you don&#8217;t read Trent?), and did I mention Joel Madden is dating her? <a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/7696/515/1600/joel1.jpg"><img style="float:right;cursor:pointer;margin:0 0 10px 10px;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/7696/515/320/joel1.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a>Hello! He is Mr. Cool from the band <a href="http://www.goodcharlotte.com/" target="_blank">Good Charlotte</a> is dating her!! If Joel (who is infinitely cooler than I could ever hope to be) is on board with Hil D, than I can certainly be too. I just love how she hasn&#8217;t succumbed to the Britney-XTina-Lohan way of life. Sure, she sings some cheesy songs and does some cheesy movies. But, I mean, we could all use a little cheese now and then. I&#8217;ll watch her Teeny Bopper flicks on HBO anytime. And you KNOW I watch Lizzie McGuire re-runs.</p>
<p>So there it is. My secret shame. Neither secret, nor shameful any longer.</p>
