There's a whole bunch of issues I need to take care of and blogging needs to be put on the back burner for now. You can still occasionally find me on twitter (@jamielkulik) or on instagram (@justajerseygirl). I'll still be reading and hopefully can now find some time to comment on all the blogs I follow. You can also feel free to email me! Just_a_jersey_girl@yahoo.com (probably the best way to reach me). <br />

Honestly it felt longer. I wish I could say I was out doing fun things, but I haven't. I've been working 6 days a week, 9 hours a day. The last thing I want to do when I come home is go online. I spend time with Mac & the pup and that's abut it. So for today, how about a photo dump? You can follow me on instagram @justajerseygirl by the way! So here's what I've been doing lately<br />

<br />
My Precious Granddad<br />
<br />
I Wish I Could See You One More Time<br />
Come Walking Through My Door<br />
But, I Know That Is Impossible<br />
I Will Hear Your Voice No More<br />
I Know You Can Feel My Tears<br />
And You Don’t Want Me To Cry<br />
Yet, My Heart Is Broken<br />
Because I Can’t Understand Why<br />
Someone So Precious Had To Die<br />
I Pray That God Will Give Me Strength<br />
And Somehow Get Me Through<br />
As I Struggle With This Heartache<br />
That Was Caused By Losing You<br />
<br />
In Precious Memory Of Richard E. Oliver<br />
Who Walked Through Heaven's Gate<br />
August 24th 1998<br />

July 5th 1924 - August 24th 1998<br />
<br />
Well Pop it's been 14 years since you left us. I've been thinking more & more about you lately. Mom & I watched old videos of our trips to Gettysburg PA we took together & looked at old pictures of all of us. It makes me sad that you missed me growing up. I was only 13 when you passed. I know you're looking down at me from above, but it doesn't make it easier. I hope you're proud of the person I've become. <br />
<br />
When I play games of War with people or do a word search they make me think about you. We never did finish that last game of war.. You owe me that game when my time here is up. Mom & I were laughing about the hat that grandma bought you for christmas. (this hat she got him was just a winter cap, he put it on & was able to roll it down to his chest, it the joke of the night lol) You were my most favorite grandparent I had. I'd like to think we had a special bond. I hurt myself like you do. I too often stand in the doorway and hit my elbow on the frame. It happens to the best of us I'm so glad I went to Hershey Park with you and that we stayed to see the light show. "God Bless the USA" by Lee Greenwood has a special place in my heart. We haven't been back there since. Maybe Mom & I need to pay it a visit someday soon. Thanks to you, mom & I have a love for stationary & tend to stockpile it. I think we have a box of your pens around still<br />
<br />
I used to dream of you so often, but since Grandma passed, they've been less & less. I guess you're settled with her being with you. Please pay me a visit or send me a sign that you're around. I love you with all my heart & miss you everyday that goes by.<br />
<br />
We'll meet again someday, but for now keep looking over me & mommy<br />
<br />

I think at least. I'm sitting here on the laptop at 9pm on Monday night. I hope to throw at least a weeks worth of blog posts in the scheduler. I've been so busy at work that the LAST thing I wanted to do when I got home was turn the computer on (or do anything for that matter). I haven't even been able to keep up with google reader. I have 500+ unread blogs at the moment.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I worked 11 days in a row and it wore me out. I'm a 5 day vacation right now and it's sadly going by WAY too quick and I'm already dreading going back to work tomorrow (Wednesday). <a href="http://mylifemyway14.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Nikki</a> when are we planning our vacation for? I need something else to countdown for! I have so many pics to edit and post. Be prepared for pic overload one of these days soon.</div>

I've been to several doctors who either tell me it's seasonal allergies or that its because of the ear plugs I occasionally wear to bed. Usually I'm given a prescription for an allergy med like Allegra-D or Zyrtec & sent on my way. Well several months ago I was reading up on clogged ears and came to an article that said she gave up Gluten and eventually her ears unclogged themselves. I've googled it over & over and have found several articles saying the same things. Quite a few people have a gluten allergy and don't even know about it. You could be fine & then one day something inside will trigger it...<br />
<br />
Some gluten allergy symptoms include:<br />

I've wanted to go to this for a few years now. It used to taunt me when we lived in the old place. Every year they would put up a giant billboard sign up. Be prepared for some photos next week! Or follow me on instagram (@justajerseygirl) or twitter (@jamielkulik) for pics through out the day!<br />

You can read about it here & here. Animal control deemed the dog a juvenile and trainable dog. The owners got the dog back. Most people would train their dog to be better or get rid of them. These people did neither. So let's fast forward to Saturday. Mac, Sir & I are arriving home after a nice time at the dog park. We come to turn into our lot & see 2 police cars and animal control in front. When cops or animal control are here it's usually for 1 family. So I emailed the superintendent to see what happened. She emailed me back on Sunday to say:<br />
<br />
"The word on the street is that Gotti in fact bit the child of a family to see about getting one of the puppies. The child was bitten in the neck & needed surgery to have it repaired. The dog was taken by animal control and will be put down. Hopefully we will have no more worries about Gotti attacking anyone but it's a shame a child had to get hurt before animal control did something about it."<br />
<br />
I am so glad that Gotti won't be here anymore. I feel horrible what happened to the child. No dog should ever be put down as I do believe with another family he may have been able to be trained to be nicer, but I do think it's too late for him. It was only a matter of time before something happened to someone else or another dog.<br />
<br />

It's not something I see a lot of people write about or maybe I just don't read the right blogs. Either way...today is all about panic attacks, stress, all the bad things! Sorry no pics today :(<br />
<br />
I believe I had my first <a href="http://www.webmd.com/anxiety-panic/guide/panic-attack-symptoms">panic attack</a> Friday night! Everyone that has been reading me for a while know that Sir has been attacked twice since we've lived here by the same dog all while I was walking him. Alone. So Friday night Mac & I go to take Sir for a walk and as I'm walking down the steps I hear a dog barking..a nasty bark, not just a "I see another dog, let me make my presence known" bark. I ask Mac to walk the back way, away from the house with Gotti (yes, the dog that bit Sir is named Gotti). Mac told me that he wasn't going to change the way he goes because that would show fear or something. I wasn't listening past the no part. I told him I wasn't going so I walked back to the steps. He walked Sir around the building and came back to me. Told me not to worry if he was walking with us, nothing would happen, to come with him. I REALLY didn't want to,but I did anyway. Not without crying and shaking with goosebumps. Then to make it worse, the guy was outside with his other dog Jordan. She used to be okay but she too is nasty. Once we got across the street I was better.<br />
<br />
It absolutely sucks that I can't walk outside without feeling like the dogs are going to get loose and get me. I haven't walked Sir alone since the night of the attack. If I need to walk somewhere I go the longer way to get out of the complex.<br />
<br />
Mac tells me I shouldn't be fearful of walking Sir. Maybe if it wasn't me that was walking Sir ALONE the two times he got bit, I wouldn't be this way, but unfortunately it happened and until they or the dog are gone, it's going to keep happening.<br />
<br />
When we got home yesterday there were 2 police cars, an ambulance & animal control at our building. Supposedly a child was taken in the ambulance. My thought is Gotti got the little girl. I hope this will be it and the dog that animal control once deemed "a juvenile and trainable" will be taken. I love dogs, but he's causing everyone stress around here.<br />
<br />

I'm guest posting for Nikki today! Go show her some love.

I'm still enjoying my vacay and I didn't want anyone to think I forgot about the little old blog so I got a guest poster today! Mrs <a href="http://www.funtimesofmarriedlife.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Newlywed Giggles</a> is here today! Enjoy<br />
<hr />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Hey bloggy peeps. My name is Mrs. Newlywed Giggles and I blog over at <a href="http://www.funtimesofmarriedlife.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Newlywed Giggles</a>. For some odd reason, Jamie asked me to guest post for her. I was like "what? you want me to write to your followers? But, I am not even cool." <br />
I know, crazy right? Well, I feel so honored that she is allowing me to guest post for her. Thank you very much girly!<br />
<br />
Now, she tweeted me a gazillion times, well not a gazillion just once but gazillion sounds better, to remind me about this guest post. I apparently forgot to use my brain to remember that I needed to actually submit written words for a guest post. She was so patient with me!!! But, then it hit me. What the heck do I write about? I was hoping she was going to give me a topic, but she was like "whatever you want." Great. Now I have no clue what to write about. Just great. <br />
<br />
So, I wanted to give you some snippets about me.<br />
<ul>
<li>My blog is titled Newlywed Giggles, but I don't think I am a newlywed anymore considering me and the hubs will celebrating 4 years of marriage in November. </li>
<li>I am terrified of bringing an actual human into this world and being responsible for it. Like WHOA. That's like a human. A human who will bear our name. There goes my reputation. I am pretty sure this is why we don't have kids yet. You're welcome.</li>
<li>I laugh like the Tickle Me Elmo doll. No joke. Truth. Yes, feel bad for me. I feel bad for myself, so you might as well.</li>
<li>I am from Jersey as well.... and yes, I do fist pump sometimes. No, I do not tan or go tanning or am the color of Doritos. But I LOVE watching The Jersey Shore. Entertainment at its best! </li>
<li>I use the following words at least 100 times a day: womp womp, oh snap, boom snaps</li>
<li>I believe that every guy who wears white sunglasses is automatically a douche. Sorry, but it just looks ridiculous</li>
<li>I am not funny, just corny and retarded. </li>
</ul>
I hope you got some giggles out of the above. That is my goal in life, to make people laugh. You burn calories when you do! Maybe I should re-read all my posts because I need to burn a lot of calories. Anyways, you guys are awesome if you made it to the end of the post. Congratulations to you!<br />
<br />
Thanks again Jamie for allowing me to invade your bloggy space and make a fool out of myself. <br />
Awesomeballs. <br />
<br />

I love how she thinks every guy that wears white sunglasses is a douche...we think like that around this house too! Maybe it's a Jersey thing!

So I'm on vacation this week. Not a fun trip vacation though..more like cleaning the house, prepping to paint (yes 7 1/2 months AFTER moving in, we're getting ready to paint) and spending time with Mac & the pup. I've decided to only post a couple days this week & have some lovely ladies fill in for me the rest. My first guest is <a href="http://mylifemyway14.blogspot.com/">Nikki</a>. <3 her. Enjoy reading and go show her some love!<br />

Hi Just a Jersey Girl friends! I am <a href="http://mylifemyway14.blogspot.com/">Nikki and I blog over at My Life My Way</a>. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
When Jamie asked me to guest post for her while she is on vacation immediate reaction was </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-size: large;">HELL YEAH!</span></b><span style="background-color: white;"> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;">Then I was like</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><i><br /></i></span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;"></span><b style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><i>OH SHIT</i></span></b><span style="background-color: white;"><i> what am I gonna write about?</i> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;">Then as luck would have it I was flipping through the July issue of Glamour and I was struck with it! </span></div>

Eleven Things You Can Only Get Away With in Summer. </div>

</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1. Dating a guy who, face it, you've never actually seen with his shirt <i>on.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: purple;">Now while I can not say I have done this I have known people who <i><b>have</b></i> done this and from what they tell me they DO NOT have any regrets for doing this. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
2. Trashy novels, now totally justifiable as "beach reads."</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: purple;">50 Shades of Grey. Enough said.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
3. Happily reducing your beauty routine to a ponytail, a pedicure, and a wax.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: purple;">Yeah I totally do this on a daily basis unless I have a wedding or something to go to then I will add in a little more. When I say little I mean little usually I just add in some eye liner and mascara. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
4. Using an ice cube as a sex toy. <i>Burrr!</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: purple;">Can't say that I have done this. Or maybe I have? <b>YOU</b> my friends will never know. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: purple;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
5. A really big, crazy-lady straw hat.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: purple;">I don't think that there is one of us who don't have something like this.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: purple;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
6. Blasting Katy Perry in your car loud enough to get stares.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: purple;">I have personally been blasting <b>"Call me, Maybe"</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
7. Shimmer. Everywhere.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: purple;">Ah good old shimmer. Who else has got it ALL.OVER.THE.PLACE?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
8. "Baby, your such a good griller. <i>You </i>cook tonight!"</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: purple;">Now <b><i>IF</i></b> I had a "Baby" to pawn off cooking on I would so be all over this! Own it girls! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
9. A shopping list that reads: yogurt, fruit, Carona.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: purple;">Mine is more like fruit, fruit, and more fruit. Oh and some Sushi.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
10. Going just a <i>little </i>blonder than you should.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: purple;">Yeah been there done that! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
11. Frizz, sweat, bug bites, peeling. Whatever, you <i>still </i> look hotter than you did in January.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="color: purple; font-size: x-large;">HECK YEAH! </span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Happy Summer Ladies!<br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #cc0000;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #cc0000;">I'm linking up today because <i style="font-weight: bold;"><a href="http://mylifemyway14.blogspot%2Ccom/">Someone</a> </i>is making me link up no excuses, so here I am!</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #cc0000;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #cc0000;">I never know what to tell you about myself, so I'm going to ramble the basics & if you have any questions, let me know!</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #cc0000;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #cc0000;"><br /></span><br />
<ul>
<li><span style="background-color: white; color: #cc0000;">I'm Jamie Lee (named after Jamie Lee Curtis)</span></li>
<li><span style="background-color: white; color: #cc0000;">I am 27 years old (my 1/2 birthday will be August 15th)</span></li>
<li><span style="background-color: white; color: #cc0000;">I'm an only child. I do have only child syndrome at times. </span></li>
<li><span style="background-color: white; color: #cc0000;">I'm engaged to Mac. We've been together 7 years (as of yesterday!)</span></li>
<li><span style="background-color: white; color: #cc0000;">I have a pit bull named Sir Licks a Lot (and yes he does live up to his name!) and have strong opinions on the bad reputation they get</span></li>
<li><span style="background-color: white; color: #cc0000;">I'm a cable dispatcher. </span></li>
<li><span style="background-color: white; color: #cc0000;">I have a mild obsession with my iPhone. Almost always have it with me!</span></li>
</ul>
<div>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #cc0000;">You can find me on the following social media apps:</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #cc0000;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<ul>
<li><span style="background-color: white; color: #cc0000;">I have a love/hate relationship with the gym and exercising.</span></li>
<li><span style="background-color: white; color: #cc0000;">I don't cook enough because I have a horrible work schedule (and I'm a bit lazy)</span></li>
<li><span style="background-color: white; color: #cc0000;">I love shopping (cheaply though), being outdoors, photography </span></li>
<li><span style="background-color: white; color: #cc0000;">I love 90's country music, but I also love any kind of pop that's on the radio right now.</span></li>

<br />
Being a pitbull owner & a dog lover in general this story absolutely breaks my heart. No dog should be put down because he looks like a certain type. People are always trying to blame the breeds they need to blame the people that own these dogs<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
So because the Judge in Ireland believed that little Lennox looked like a pitbull and could attack someone at anytime the little disabled girl is now without her companion! Meanwhile the pitbull that bit our pup twice is still living in our complex. <br />
<br />
Hug your pups a little more and a little tighter today & be thankful you have them!<br />
<br />
What is your opinion on this story?<br />

I will be on a much needed vacation. While the weather is supposed to be crappy, we have some things planned. A trip into NYC to Central Park, painting the apartment (or at least most of it) and a trip to IKEA. We plan on making our giant closet a home office. It's big enough to function as a closet and an office so why not?<br />

It was only $50 refurbished through Sprint, so I figured I couldn't go wrong. I've been having issues with my android like you wouldn't believe so I finally did it. Now I need recommendations for apps besides the basics (instagram, pinterest & twitter are a given!) & phone cases (besides Otterbox) <br />
