My full name was supposed to be Jessicalea (Jessica-Lee) all one word, but someone messed up when filling out my birth certificate so instead I'm Jessica Lea.
I was born on July 28th 1986 at like 3AM which explains why I'm such a night owl. It was also really stormy out the night I was born and my mom used to tell me that's where I get my temperament from.
I'm a Leo and I don't act like it. I hate being in the lime light actually, I'd rather be behind the scenes. But I am extremely loyal and will do anything for people I care about.
I have 1 half brother (William) whom I love more than life itself sometimes. We didn't always used to get along, in fact there was a time when I was in high school where I thought for sure he would kill me. But since he's grown up and we've both matured I can honestly say he's one of my best friends. I know no matter what he's got my back. When I went to Florida to visit Austen, William told me not to get into any trouble because it was too far for him to go to kick Austen's ass if he had too. (One of my favorite stories)
My grandma is pretty much my mom. She's always been there for me, and growing up I don't know how I would have survived without her. Right now she is my best friend, my confidant and I know that whenever she does pass it's going to take a forklift to put my life back together.
My mom passed away almost 2 years ago, and more so recently than in the past I wish she was still alive.
I read A LOT and run my own book review blog Find the Time to Read I've been doing that for almost 4 years now.
I'm short and fat. It's true. I'm only 5'5" and my weight is both my biggest insecurity and something that I'm working on. I just started getting into the Healthy At Any Size movement and am working on loving myself for who I am, not what I look like.
I was recently diagnosed with an Autoimmune Disease and it bothers me a lot. I've been out of work for almost 4 months because of it and it makes me feel horrible. I'm hoping that this will all clear up soon so that my life can go back to the way it was before, but better.
I tend to rush into things headfirst and not think them through. And then as things are progressing I tend to over think everything and worry about every possible little thing. I'm working on that though, it's something I want to change but know I'll have a hard time doing so.
