Forty-nine and a half hours left of 2004, which means the compiling of “best of” or “top five” lists must begin. To follow suit of fellow blogger and friend Nanette, I now present you the best/top five things of 2004, Jen-style. Top five films: 5. Super Size Me — Swore I’d never eat fast food [...]

A night to remember

Posted on December 28, 2004 | Category: Uncategorized | 1 Comment

Despite a deluge of rain, I had the most enjoyable and relaxing Monday evening in a long time. After work, I went to Trader Joe’s to spend the $50 gift card Roth’s brother Lane gave us for Christmas (he works for TJ’s in Tucson). Bought lots of yummy, bad-for-us goodies. Came home and started dinner [...]

Lumpy coal for the dog — alcoholic spirits for the pops

Posted on December 26, 2004 | Category: Uncategorized | 3 Comments

I predicted that Sierra (my beagle) would be the most relaxed and stress-free member of my family on Christmas. You know, because she’s a dog, and all that dogs have to do during family get-togethers is be adored and snuggled and given lots of treats and such. Wasn’t so. Sierra decided to spend all of [...]

Bah! Hum! Bug!

The presents are all wrapped. The stockings have been hung with care … OK, there are no stockings. Because there is no fireplace. But everything is (finally) in order for an enjoyable holiday break. I hope. Roth and I are both off tomorrow and Saturday, so we will travel to Modesto to see my Dad [...]

Boots and bosses

Posted on December 15, 2004 | Category: Uncategorized | 2 Comments

Had day from hell at work. One of the big bosses yelled at me for no reason, made me cry, then felt bad for making me cry, realized I am an amazing employee who works really hard, then swore she’d start firing people if she ever saw me cry again. Hello, crazy lady, YOU made [...]

Scrooge?

Posted on December 12, 2004 | Category: Uncategorized | 1 Comment

OK … so maybe I’m not such a Scrooge after all. I dug out the old, faux Christmas tree Roth’s mom gave us a couple years ago and put it up tonight — lights, homemade ornaments and all. His mom, who is a third grade teacher, used to put the tree up in her classroom [...]

Good movie, bad bug

Posted on December 11, 2004 | Category: Uncategorized | 1 Comment

I caught some kind of icky stomach bug flu thing a couple days ago (could it be an adverse reaction to the spin class?) that took me down for the count on Thursday and today. Subsequently, I went home early from work both days. Because I absolutely hate puking, I never did fully embrace the [...]

Of spin tales and porno pups

Posted on December 9, 2004 | Category: Uncategorized | 4 Comments

I did it. I took my first spin class ever tonight. I am officially killed. I want to say … Never. Again. However, I think taking spin classes may be a little like having a hangover. While you’re in the middle of it, you’re suffering, you want to puke, you’re sweating yet you’re feeling deathly [...]

Aren’t we cute?

Posted on December 7, 2004 | Category: Uncategorized | 4 Comments

Roth and I recently had our picture taken for the save-the-date card for our wedding. Here is one of the outtakes from our photo shoot. Don’t we look like an advertisement for something? Like Gap or J.Crew? Or maybe for sand dollars? The photo is a tad cheesy and posed, but I think we both [...]
