    Jessica Johnson About Close Up

    HI! I’m Jessica.

    Two years ago I went from Mrs. to Ms. I’m 34 and in September I will be half way to 40. No kids yet. Real talk… No kids maybe ever?! I love my nieces and all your kiddos, but man you mamas have your work cut out for you!! Keep up the awesome work. In the meantime, please give me ALL the dogs. Currently I’m a dog mama to the one and only Mya. Aka Myabear, MyMy, Princess, Sis, Sissy, Sweet Girl, Love, Little Love, Lovebug, Lovey. She always comes running regardless of what I call her. She’s 10 and she’s the love of my life. She enjoys moving from place to place napping, heater blankets, and hiding all of her toys in the yard. Day to day you can find her asleep under my desk on my feet. 

    I have spent the last 5 years blissfully working from home for a small company that I love. I book entertainment for corporate events which means you can usually find me talking about casino parties, buying photo booth props and backdrops, inflating horses, or creating family feud surveys. I also have A LOT of side hustles. This blog keeps me pretty busy (I also run our sister site – my first blog – The Complicated Blonde. As if that’s not enough, I moonlight as bartender and server for that extra cash (I’m going to be debt free except the house by the end of 2019). That’s still not enough to keep me busy so I also coordinate weddings, dabble in decorative signage, event and floral design. Are you thinking I’m crazy? You’d be right because I’m still not done yet. I’m also a Senegence Distributor. Okay, I think I’m done now, at least for the moment. For next project I’m creating a custom clothing line so stay tuned.

    Just for fun, here are 20 random facts about me. 

    1. You could lock me in a Target and I would be fine forever. 
    2. I cuss a lot but I clean up nice. 
    3. I always wear lipstick. 
    4. Pretty sure that there is not a shade of pink that I don’t like.
    5. I love high heels and I’m almost always wearing them.
    6. I’m so clumsy and incredibly accident prone. I fall a lot. Flats, heels, bare foot. I’ve broke some bones. I drop everything. I spill a lot of coffee. I can’t be trusted with anything glass. I’m an actual bull in a china shop.  
    7. I want to pet ALL the dogs in ALL the world. Maybe even a cat or two. I LOVE animals!!
    8. I am a hopeless romantic.  I’ve loved and lost but I came back better than ever.
    9. I really love to be alone but I’m actually super social. I can talk to anyone and I’m always making new friends.  
    10. Because I work from home, I can sometimes go days without seeing another human. Real talk, I’m totally fine with that.
    11. I work really hard and I love what I do. All day everyday. I always say work is the only thing I’m good at.
    12. I sit on the board for our local chapter of Meeting Professionals International. I have for 4 years. I’ve taken home two awards from this same organization.  I am also a past president of another association, the International Live Events Association.
    13. I’m fairly good at poker so don’t play a cash game with me if you want to keep your money. 
    14. I can deal Craps, Roulette, Blackjack, and Texas Hold Em. I prefer craps though.
    15. I grant wishes for the Make A Wish foundation.  I’ve been blessed with opportunity to give 22 kiddos and their families the power of a wish. 
    16. I LOVE weddings. Love them. I have seen 256 brides down the aisle.  Probably more but that’s the current count. 
    17. My favorite holiday is Halloween. I go all out.  I’m also a horror movie buff but I don’t do haunted houses. 
    18. My 2nd favorite holiday is Independence Day. It’s also my former wedding anniversary.
    19. I love horse racing. Kentucky Derby is one of my favorite times of year. You’ll find me in a giant hat emphatically cheering on my favorite horses during the most exciting 2 minutes in sports. One day I hope to actually be at Churchill Downs.
    20. I love to write. Our sister site – The Complicated Blonde – was born out of my actual journal entries. One day I just started sharing them with the world and we ended up here.
