What’s Annoying Jen: Tiger Woods’ Mistresses

Posted: Tuesday, February 23rd, 2010 @ 9:46 pm in General | No Comments »

Hey, here’s a public announcement just for giggles: If you get into a relationship with a married man who gets caught, you have NO reason to complain and demand a personal apology. You’re a slut and no one cares about your feelings — except Jesus, and that’s only because he wants you to stop acting [...]

Sunny Sunday Morning

Posted: Sunday, February 21st, 2010 @ 9:26 am in General | No Comments »

This morning, I woke up to warm sunshine – a treat we haven’t had much of in the last few months. Wanting to enjoy it as much as possible, I got out of bed, grabbed my laptop and went downstairs. I made a strong Americano and parked in the dining room, where I had [...]

Thanksgiving 2009

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Two months late. My only excuse is that I haven’t downloaded photos from our digital camera since September! I know that isn’t a very good excuse and I am endeavoring to use the camera more this year.

So for Thanksgiving (way back in November), I went home to see my family. Before [...]

“Jesus, take the wheeee-HEEEEEEEE-eeel…”

Posted: Thursday, January 21st, 2010 @ 1:47 pm in General | No Comments »

Over the last couple of weeks, the same theme has been recurring: I have a control issue. As in, I have a hard time relinquishing control.

I know. What a shock. Hope you were sitting down.

People always talk about giving God control of your life. Theories abound on what that means and how to practice [...]

HELL YES. Used to watch the original cartoon with my brother every Sunday…

Happy New Year: 2010!

Posted: Friday, January 1st, 2010 @ 10:19 am in General | No Comments »

Just want to say Happy New Year to all of my family and friends. Like everyone else, I have just a couple of… well, I don’t know if I’d call them resolutions, per say. I equate resolutions with “giving up chocolate” (which you know I’m not going to do) and “losing 10 pounds” (I like [...]

If you’ve been following my twitter feed or have talked to me in the last couple of days, you’ve already heard the news, though it’s worth it for me to say again: A home for Jonah has been found.

Thanks to Tom’s parents, on Saturday night we gussied Jonah up as best we could (via a [...]

What is it that keeps me in my comfort zone? Fear. Of what, I don’t know. Usually it’s fear of the unknown. Fear of failure. Fear that if I close one door, I will have just missed something great and I’ll be kicking myself about it for years to come. I guess [...]

Productive Day

Posted: Sunday, November 15th, 2009 @ 5:17 pm in General, Writing | No Comments »

I had the best day that I’ve had in a long time, for no reason other than it was just so productive. I spent my time finishing up my term paper (DONE!), got started on the art project portion of the term paper, came up with the idea for my next book, and am [...]

Ikea: The Land of Furniture Hell

Posted: Monday, August 31st, 2009 @ 12:26 pm in General | No Comments »

It’s true, I’m not a huge fan of Ikea. They’ve definitely improved over the years; these days I make a point to avoid their upholstered items and bed linens. Their fabrics are just very cheap and thin, and I can’t afford to replace a couch every two years, even if the darn thing [...]
