I love my husband — reason # 64

He’s very supportive of the blog thing (despite the fact that I often air our most personal and embarrassing peccadilloes for the whole world to read). He’s always looking out for me, helping me to decide what I should (or shouldn’t) write about here. For instance, we found ourselves at a Mexican restaurant last night, [...]

Well, THAT was a doozy, that killer cold I think I am finally getting over today. I even went home sick Monday, something I rarely do. And something I do even less is actually call in sick. I joke that I’m more likely to call in dead than sick. That’s just crazy talk! However, I [...]
Dog day afternoon

Roth and I spent most of the weekend at home. Me, sick AGAIN! With a gawdawful chest cold. At times, my voice bordered downright sexy. Until my husky timbre was interrupted by a hacking phlegm cough. The kind of cough that made my ears, eyes and throat burn like hell. And very well made me [...]

One of my new job duties includes shipping book samples to various clients all over the world. Right now, I have several stacks of books all around my desk and on the floor, waiting to be shipped tomorrow morning, mostly from our juvenile division. I’ve been really busy today, with all kinds of tasks, that [...]

Roth and I typically take turns playing the role of “the Kid” in our relationship. There are just certain things we each refuse to grow up about. For instance, Roth will drink chocolate milk with dinner and eat ice cream for breakfast, without blinking an eye. He can eat an entire bag of jelly beans [...]

One of the biggest changes from my old job to my new job is the commute. I’m now in the car for about 45 minutes, whereas before, it took me about 20 minutes to get to work. The main difference is that I have to cross Lake Washington via a floating bridge, and the interchange [...]
A movie without sufficient ass kicking is a movie not worth seeing (unless it has Harrison Ford, a la 1982)

Roth and I each have “The List.” You know, a list of five famous people we could totally make out with if the opportunity ever presented itself to us. My list changes every couple months, because I’m fickle. And my lists have conditions, too. For instance, I would choose Harrison Ford, but only Harrison Ford [...]

As one of the newest employees at my new company, I noticed today that I’ve suddenly become hyper-aware of how I am being perceived by my new co-workers. And not so much because I want them to like me (and yet I do, I really do), but because I don’t want to become known as [...]
2 Things, interrupted

The regularly scheduled Tuesday featured entitled “2 Things” will not be shown tonight. The only 2 Things that will be happening in the life of Jen are the following: 1. Eating tacos. 2. Vegging on the couch in front of American Idol. There may be some eating of Girl Scout cookies and petting of the [...]
First day blahs

What is there to say after the first day on a new job? There was a lot of paperwork, a lot of introductions, a lot of “where’s this” and “where’s that,” all of which added up to a whole lot of nothing much. The one thing nobody told me about was the location of the [...]
