The House of GaGa

Ok, so I’ve never really been that “hip.” My pals as far back as middle school (I’m in touch with only one friend who’s known me before the 6th grade and she can’t remember if I was or was not hip) can attest to the fact that I was basically marching to the beat of […]

Oh Sweet Sleep, How I Miss Thee

in Daily Ramblings

Who are you again? For that matter, who am I? It’s hard to tell with two hours of sleep. Our little man decided that yet again, sleep was for the weak and he was one big, strong dude, but he needed company in his self appreciation of his studliness. My hubby didn’t make it to […]

New Schedule

This week I started my new work schedule, which was like the third new work schedule in the past two years, but who’s counting. I’ve been really blessed to have a job that works with me being a mom. As long as I do my job, which does entail a certain amount of 24/7 on-call […]

They say that if you surround yourself with toys, you are a creative mind. I often wonder what the toys around my desk might say about me.

Yesterday was a rather eventful one in Jen’s World. I’d been planning for months to get myself a brand spanking new iPhone. Yes, people, contain your disdain. I have fallen pray to Apple. But AT&T didn’t help much. My company pays for my phone service as I’m on call 24/7. When it came time to […]

Special Effects and Old Friends

Broke away from the chaos for a couple of hours yesterday to see Avatar in 3D. I haven’t been paying attention to the reviews, only hearing that it was good. I didn’t want anything to spoil it for me. I like seeing what they’re able to pull off with special effects technology these days. I […]

Happy New Year

As I enjoy a morning cup of tea this first day of a New Year and decade, I can’t help but reflect on the past 10 years. This time last decade I was in a different state, in a different marriage, and a completely miserable state of mind. It’s amazing what life puts you through […]
