Christmas is also the time of year when we count our blessings and pray for miracles. Amidst the endless presents, countless cookies and blizzard of 2010, I can say my Christmas miracle is Jessica. I’ve posted about her before, and I wanted to share with you her progress.

He wore a backwards baseball hat, half-zip fleece and boat shoes. His hair peaked out from behind his ears, and by the looks of it, was <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">permanently</span> <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">wind blow</span> from all the time he must spend sailing or flying down the ski-slopes. This bro was quite special. Let's call him J.<br /><br />J appeared a min after last call. Perfect timing bro! We're already drunk, so you've saved yourself some money by not having to buy us drinks.<br /><br />J introduces himself, says something "bro-<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7">mantic</span>" and manages to find his way into our cab. J is attractive in a <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8">waspy</span> way. We later find out he's from CT and has a second home in MA. He played Lax in HS, has two siblings and works for his dad's company where he buys energy. How Bro-<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9">fessional</span>!<br /><br />He was like a living <a href="http://www.blogger.com/mylifeisbro.com">mylifeisbro.com</a><br /><br />Ladies, if you find yourself amongst a bro, savor the moment. Don't question his vocabulary, choice of branded t-shirt or his desire to drink cheap beer.

The tale of a "plain jane", transformed by the magical powers of MAC cosmetics, a good blow-out and a new wardrobe. Overnight she's gotten 10x hotter, lost about 15 pounds and is now Prom Queen. Unfortunately my High School experience didn't end like "She's All That", and I didn't gracefully trip down my parents steps into the arms of the quarterback. With that being said, i'm convinced it will happen...eventually. When it does, my internal soundtrack will play in slow motion, the wind will blow my hair back, and the perfect guy will realize that I'm the perfect girl.<br /><br />Until then, I have my movies, books and the occasional TV show.<br /><br />...oh, and I'll always have Taylor Swift and her new song "Mine".<br /><br />XO, <br /><br />AshAshleyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05892828570708474994noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4429226144296130454.post-40955690910929974962010-07-21T20:11:00.000-07:002010-07-21T20:12:55.053-07:00"What kind is that....Sparklettes?"<object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/ohtaCich0co&hl=en_US&fs=1?color1=0x2b405b&color2=0x6b8ab6"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/ohtaCich0co&hl=en_US&fs=1?color1=0x2b405b&color2=0x6b8ab6" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>Ashleyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05892828570708474994noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4429226144296130454.post-9008218093179867172010-07-19T18:24:00.000-07:002010-07-19T18:59:10.204-07:00Things I'm loving right now...1. Quotes- It's no secret that I absolutely adore quotes. I love reading them, posting them and finding new ones to fall in love with. Check out <a href="http://holliesquotes.com/">Hollies Quotes</a>, it's one of my favorites.<br /><br />2. Summer Sales- I definitely took advantage of the J.Crew Sale I posted a few days ago and on my way home from work I stumbled across a 50% off sale at Theory in SOHO. Having no self control, AC and I stopped in..and each left with a dress.<br /><br />3. Cooking- OK, I always love to cook so technically this shouldn't be on the list. With that being said, I am loving Summer inspired recipes! Like this <a href="http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/giada-de-laurentiis/fregola-salad-with-fresh-citrus-and-red-onion-recipe/index.html">pasta</a> I made last night courtesy of Giada. I substitute the Fregola with Orzo because let's be honest, has anyone ever seen Fregola at Stop and Shop?<br /><br />4. Twitter- I wasn't to sure about this "Tweeting" trend, but it's definitely grown on me. I think I owe it to my coworkers EF and KS...tweeting is so much more fun when you have someone to @mention.<br /><br />5. My coworkers- I never thought I'd love them all so much. I always thought I felt connected at my old job, but was I wrong! Work is so much more fun when you have people you enjoy seeing everyday. The snack cart, ledge chats, TV recaps and Wednesday night spinning are all just part of why I love working with them so much...to be hones, I don't know what I'd do without 'em.<br /><br />Here's to kicking off the week!!<br /><br />XO,<br /><br />AshAshleyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05892828570708474994noreply@blogger.com1
