And we're off!
What does Thanksgiving morning look like at Jenny’s house? Jenny takes a shower. Jenny discovers she froze her refrigerator cinnamon roll dough (’cause Jenny doesn’t “do” homemade cinnamon rolls). Jenny goes to ***Mart for more cinnamon roll dough… with wet hair and in sub-freezing temperatures. Icicles form on Jenny’s hair. Jenny skids on the frosty [...]
I am so sorry…
As soon as the event is over, I will go back to writing about knitting, housekeeping, and proper hygiene. The exciting stuff, I promise. *I went to the grocery store this evening. Again. Anywho… It was flippin’ cold outside. It was 36 degrees, and I could feel the sharp teeth of the chill biting my [...]
Did you hear me?
…squeal like a cheerleader who, like, just found, like, the perfect outfit for the last day of cheer camp?! *flip hair…smack gum* How do I say this and not sound… obsessed. Hmmm… My name is Jenny and I am a Chubbaholic. Uh, this isn’t really coming out right. Let’s try this again. My name is [...]
It's Taper Week!
No, I’m not talking about the newest candle buy on Home Shopping Network… This is MUCH more exciting than that! Over the last 3 weeks I have run approximately 69 miles, plus a little time on the stationary bike and wee bit o’ time on the elliptical machine at the gym… The 2007 Seattle Marathon [...]
NaBloPoMo
What on earth is a NaBloPoMo? Apparently November is National Blog Posting Month… I had seen this NaBloPoMo word around the interweb of the united world (a.k.a WWW), but for some reason I mixed it up with NaNoWriMo – which means National Novel Writing Month. Since I am not writing a novel… anywho. Alright, so [...]
i heart guts
First off, I can’t post a picture of a hilarious t-shirt I found through Popgadget… because my iPhoto isn’t working and other pieces of my computer are not functioning as I need them to (for that matter)… and flickr will not associate with either of my choice browsers… so I’m stuck trying to scratch an [...]
So… Jenny…
Me: Yes? Imagined interviewer: You’re training for your third half-marathon. How do you feel? Me: Good. I still have all my toenails. Imagined interviewer: Now, you do a “long run”each week… this week was 10 miles, next week will be 11… and then culminating on “race day” with 13.1 miles… yes? Me: Yep. Except my [...]
The "Z" word…
Zits. There, I said wrote it. It’s an ugly word, whether spoken or written. That simple word can evoke gagging, undo years of therapy, or – in my case – drive a grown woman to the mall to hunt down that new Proactiv vending machine. I know, it isn’t October anymore and I should let [...]
Aaaaand scene…
Now that October is over, everyone can go back to what they were doing. The production has ended. As you were. You don’t even know. My friends are crazy… they’re wonderful… Whether near or far, the cream of the crop, I tell ya… the pick o’ the litter… except they’re not cats, they’re people. I [...]
Alright.
I admit it. I’m hooked on Dancing with the Stars. I dunno how it happened… a few dances here, a few dances there, and at the beginning of this season I find myself nudging chores and kids’ bedtimes… yaddda, yadda, yadda… so I can watch this ridiculous show. Except it’s not ridiculous. Except it is. [...]
