Jen's Corner

What the heck Austin, snow??

Jake likes it.

I’d like it better if I didn’t have this cough from hell. Yesterday I sounded like a de-barked dog.

Site looks like crap because I’m waiting on a wordpress upgrade. Had to disable all plugins according to GoDaddy.
Anyway, no idea how long it will take. I’m really getting sick of very little control over this site. Guess I need to look into hosting options again. Bleh.
Update:  All better!

PandoraFebruary 1994 – 08/08/2009
Sometime yesterday morning we lost Pandora. We knew it was a matter of time since the suspicion of liver cancer found last November, but it still took us by surprise. She had gone through a few days of not eating much, but had been doing much better. Necropsy showed [...]

::: Walks in, brushes dust off the furniture :::
Hi, my name is Jen, and sometimes I post in this ‘blog thingy.
OK, so it’s been a while. Nothing big has been going on, just day to day living; mostly good, some annoyances, a little bad – you know, life. I can’t even say [...]

Remember way back in the election frenzy that meme going around about donating to Planned Parenthood in Sarah Palin’s name?
I just got a letter from Planned Parenthood today:
In response to the anonymous email message circulated back in September during the presidential campaign, urging people to donate to Planned Parenthood in honor of Gov. Sarah Palin, [...]

My Friday night, in bullet points:

Company holiday party @ buffalo billiards! Fair warning of possible drunk tweets ahead! 7:15 PM Dec 12th from txt
Putting chambord in JD is a Bad Idea. Maybe it was the sweet & sour 7:38 PM Dec 12th from txt
The husband is doing tequila shots. This can’t end well. 8:34 PM [...]

Who says cats are graceful?
They must have some massive PR budget, because my cats, at least, are decidedly not graceful.
Proof lies in the tale I’m about to relate.

OK, take a look at this picture. This is an old picture; now there is another bookcase along the wall between the light and dark bookcases. [...]

Flannel sheets
Heated mattress pads
Melatonin
Snuggly cats
Snuggly husband1

Melatonin dreams are pretty rad, too.
Sleeeeep. Wondrous sleep.
1Added due to severe pouting. Silly husband, he should know he’s always on the list! <grin>

What the hell, Austin?
Record high yesterday (81° F) and then thundersleet and snow last night? Freakin’ bi-polar weather…

I’m sitting at my computer desk, trying to wake up. George comes up to my leg with his remarkably tiny meowsqueak and demands to be picked up. He collapses on my arm against my neck purring madly. I croon his name and he throws his head back to look at me upside [...]

It’s the last day of November! So, naturally, I think I should wrap it up with a meme.
This photo meme is kinda cool – I swiped it from awdrey_gore.
01. Answer each of the questions below using the [Flickr] search engine.
02. Choose a photo from the first three pages.
03. Copy the URL [...]

You know, I don’t think I’ll try to force myself to post every day again. Maybe it’s that I feel obligated to post, which makes me rebel. Or maybe I just don’t have a life.
I’m ok with that, really. I happen to like my well upholstered rut.
Anyway. One [...]

The bad:
We had to go out on Black Friday after all – vet appointment for Pandora. She’s eating, but not well, and her hair is seriously thinning – we found a bald patch. Worse, it looks like her diabetes is back as well as a UTI. The meds that have been helping [...]

Between Macy’s rickrolling of America and the “Turkeys Away” episode of WKRP in Cincinnati, I don’t think today can get much better!
Confession: We’re having french dip sammiches tonight because the turkey isn’t completely thawed and we can’t be bothered to force it. I love a no-pressure holiday!
I’m thankful for:

My husband.
My [...]

I woke up (to pee, natch) before the alarm went off, and now I’m actually awake! What’s up with that?
So that American Lit test I thought I blew? Got a 98. Seriously, what is wrong with me?? I still feel like my answers weren’t worth full points – I’m under the [...]
