Eat your heart out, ladies. (I probably could’ve thought of a better expression for vegetarians, huh?)
Anyway, for me, JTT reached his peak in the movie Man of the House. I’m not gonna lie, I still love that movie. Chevy Chase + JTT + Farrah Fawcett = Win.
My favorite scene in the movie occurs when JTT, Chevy Chase and the other members of the Indian Guides do a rain dance to C&C Music Factory’s “Gonna Make You Sweat.”
“Everybody dance now!”
Not only is that song absolutely fantastic on its own, but it always reminds me of Man of the House and my long lost love for JTT. Basically, I love it.
When that song came on during the biceps track of the BodyPump class I took at the gym today, it took everything I had not to drop my weights and do my own rain dance in the middle of the room.
You should probably listen to it right now. Your Monday will be a little brighter, I promise.
Breakfast
Breakfast this morning was the old stand by.
A chocolate peanut butter cup smoothie! Nice and portable because I’m taking this baby to go.
I’m off to the Social Security office. Any guesses what I’m doing? I’ll give you a clue: It’s something I should’ve done months ago.
Weekend Catch Up
Playing catch up from the weekend? Here’s a brief summary:
![\"Quantcast\"/](\"//pixel.quantserve.com/pixel/p-1e3-7hOJ_U8Bg.gif\")
Oh my gosh I remember that movie, I used to LOVE it! 😀 Thank you so much for brightening up my afternoon! I’m listening to the dance song now…love it! 🙂 xyx
omg I LOVED him growing up!! and man of the house was a great movie.
I was a big JTT fan myself. I loved HI (still do – have some of the dvds) and I can still remember seeing Man of the House in the theatre – love it still! 🙂
I LOVED JTT & Man of The House (I’m pretty sure I still own the VHS!) but I think Wild America ties that for first for favorite JTT movie. JTT + Devon Sawa? Win-win!
Does anyone know what ever happened to JTT? It’s as if he vanished from the face of the Earth!
Ohh JTT… he and Zach Morris were such 90s heart throbs.
I was obsessed with JTT, too! I had posters allll over my bedroom!
JTT – swoon! I loved Man of the House – and the raindance was definitely the best part! I also loved Wild America – JTT and Devon Sawa…I was in tween heaven.
I’m guessing you are getting your name changed! I put it off for a while after we got married, and then decided that waiting wasn’t doing me any good, so I went and sat the SS office for about 9 hours (or 45 minutes, whatever) and got it changed officially.
Have you seen the episode of FRIENDS where Phoebe goes to change her name??? Princess Consuela Banana Hammock – love it!
Ah! I loved JTT!! I even wrote about him in my diary, which I just found a few months ago in my parents garage. It was definitely full of major LOLs and my husband loves to take it out and read passages and laugh at 12 year old me.
OH how I adored and LOVED JTT! I had posters of him on my wall and watch Home Improvement, Man of the House and Wild America obsessively.
Gosh he looks so young in that photo! Like 8 years old, haha. Makes me feel OLD!
You’re just now changing your name? I got married on May 21 and my new license came in the mail on June 18. A friend of mine waited for a few years and then had to pay some fees since she didn’t do it in the grace period!
Oh, JTT is such a cutie! I still enjoy watching reruns of Home Improvement!
OMG I loved him even wrote him a letter and got a “signed” picture back.
Too bad you didn’t mention the social security office sooner, you can just mail your stuff to the one in Orlando and save the headache. That’s what I did and I had it in about 3 weeks.
what did happen to JTT haha he was the bestt
good luck with the name change!!!
ps your smoothies put mine to shameeeee!
Did JTT go all hansen on us and have a bevvy of kids and vanish?
Hahaha! I love that movie!! I would have done the rain dance for sure in your class.
LOL, Julie you are a riot!
I always look forward to your blogs in the morning (have to start the day off right… (o: …)! I could not figure out the song and looked it up at work; the girls here were all about dancing to it! I live in Michigan and do BodyPump as well and have to ask, do you know what BodyPump release you are on? The gym I attend is launching BodyPump 78 tomorrow and I cannot wait! But having C&C Music Factory’s “Gonna Make You Sweat” in the mix would not want me to switch up tracks.
it was an OLD release. the instructor decided to do an old release to change things up. i wish it was more recent!
Haha that was the first time I had ever watch the music video 🙂 love!!
Hahaha — I always think of Man of the House when I hear that too! Hilarious! 🙂
I love your JTT obession. He needs to make a comeback, don’t you think? And so does C&C Music Factory!
That smoothie looks so creamy and delicious! I love the yellow theme you set up for the photo, too.
JTT was a heart throb back in the day and now sadly he just dropped off the face of the Earth! Where is that guy now?
ohhhh JTT be-still my heart! Wonder what he is up to these days? I liked him in Home Improvement and I’ll be Home for Christmas. Per usual, your smoothie looks yummy!
Your post today made me smile and I now have the rain dance stuck in my head! That scene is one of my ultimate favorites! 🙂
::sigh:: JTT – what a dream boat. 🙂
I crushed HARD on JTT. He was totally the Biebs of our generation! You know you’ve made it big when you hit the covers of Teen Bop, Teen Beat, Teen whatever. Then we all grew up and moved onto Leo DiCaprio after “Titanic”.
PS – Julie, I stumbled upon your blog a couple weeks ago and I can’t get enough of it! I always look forward to what you will come up with next. Keep it up!
I love that movie, and I love that song! It always makes me smile. 🙂
Loved JTT and that movie!
But even more, I loved Jonathan Jackson and “Camp Nowhere”. 🙂
Name change time! I’ve been married almost 3 years and still haven’t changed my passport. Oops!
Thanks, now I have that song stuck in my head LOL. I didnt even think about getting my name changed until I applied for financial aid, later I received a letter telling me that person didnt exist, oops 🙂
I had the BIGGEST crush on him!! He was the sole reason I watched basically every episode of Home Improvement. I love that movie too though! Too cool that he’s a vegetarian!
You should let us know how that goes… I still need to do that and I got married in September!
I’ve recently been revisiting my childhood crushes. I wish I saved all those old copies of Tiger Beat so I an giggle at how obsessed I was. All of us should start a list of the 90s crush-worthy guys and have a where are they now blog! I keep it no secret that I’ve always been in love with Hanson, so I can get that page going!
Ohhh emmm jeeeee! I’ve been following you for about 15 months and have been so nervous to leave a comment (no idea why!). After reading about your love for JTT, Man of the House, and the rain dance, I knew I had to comment. Definitely my favorite…also, his squirrel named Numb Nuts! (I’m so mature. Ha!) Love the blog!
so glad you commented! 🙂 and the numb nuts part CRACKED me up!
Great call with Man of the House! I need to DVR that next time it’s on TV because it truly is a classic. One of the opening scenes when Farrah tells Chevy that breakfast is usually yogurt, fruit and granola (after he makes a huge breakfast fail) is what I think first inspired me to try the concoction. Now even the mention makes me hungry!
i loved JTT’s cute raspy voice 🙂
i never understood why the older brother on home improvement always had the cute gfs….
oooh i loved me some JTT. My room growing up was plastered with his and Leonardo DiCaprios faces haha
“Eat your Hearts of Palm out Vegetarians”?? Nah, doesn’t quite have the same ring to it…. 🙂
Um I was totally obsessed with both JTT and Devon Sawa (umm hello Now and Then hottie)! Sadly, they both kind of peaked at around 16 🙂
Oh I loved JTT! And that movie was awesome 🙂 Every so often I see that it’s on the movie channels we have.
I was so sad when he left Home Improvement! Also did you know that show first started 20 years ago?! And I didn’t know he was a vegetarian.
um, i can’t believe you love that movie too! in all honestly, my girlfriend memorized the dance and i could probably show you 75% of today if you asked me! i heart jtt too!
btw, an eggwhite sandwich with jam rocks my socks. thanks for the gift julie!
Ha! I love that song and that’s definitely one of my favorite parts of the movie.
Too bad that WAS his peak, I had such a crush on him and could have used more face time of him.
Good luck over the next two days, had my first BodyPump experience last Monday and recovered by Saturday! Great work out though!

next teeshirt idea? “i swoon for JTT”
I loved that movie, too!! I have had that song on my iPod a few times and I get a little giddy when it comes on during my run. My boy and I have also recently started watching Home Improvement dvds at night, we are both big Tim Allen fans 🙂 The library is great for finding old shows on dvd that are surprisingly always available…haha
