Pretty much I've migrated to http://jennasjustsayin.blogspot.com/ ... umm..... yea.

had to do it. amazed I didn't come up with a Boston accent!

2006-11-29T14:15:31Z

What American accent do you have? Your Result: The Midland "You have a Midland accent" is just another way of saying "you don't have an accent." You probably are from the Midland (Pennsylvania, southern Ohio, southern Indiana, southern Illinois, and Missouri) but then for all we know you could be from Florida or Charleston or one of those big southern cities like Atlanta or Dallas. You have a good voice for TV and radio.

I've been asked to type something here about how much I love my coworkers... D especially... even though he's a nappy headed little guppy. :P

update!!

2006-03-30T18:05:58Z

Sooo.. haven't posted in awhile.

Things are not terrible. On the surface they're actually quite wonderful. I have some great things going on.. glowing review at work, a raise, a husband anyone would kill for, a great kid, I adore my home, ... hate my car, but I'll fix that.

Work:
Work is pretty ok. I'm doing what I like to do, which is to work on 50 things all at the same time, being under some pressure, and joking around with my co-workers. It's nice that I've been here long enough to be able to say what I want pretty much when I want and to be able to reveal my truly twisted sense of humor without getting that quizical *wtf* look. Even my boss gets into it at times. I've been asked to take over project management. This is something I can do, and I don't even mind doing it, but it does mean that I slip back into thinking everything is my responsibility. I do that pretty easily. Everything is my fault. heh. So having a position that requires everything be my fault is always a toughy. Ray has been asked to do some partime work here. That'll be neat, although I do worry about him getting annoyed with certain people here. It's funny when he's here, because he's so damn focused that he doesn't speak, which means I forget he's here. heh. I look up and am surprised to see hubbys head there at his desk. Chels, who can be a bit clingy, is mad as hell that he's coming in sometimes. She doesn't want both of us gone til 6ish and has gotten used to Ray being home earlier. That's both good and bad. It's nice she loves Ray so much, annoying because of course it's my responsibility to keep her entertained. Anyway.. work is pretty good. Hate the commute, but like the work. OH.. and I dispise my biggest client. The man is a cult leader and a total freak of nature. Rotten bastard, to boot.

Home:
We're planning on painting the living room. I'm looking forward to it. I've painted a few of the other rooms, and really have wanted to get to the living room (where we spend most of our time). SO we're going with a 'mexican' theme there. The Bedroom is an Indian/Morroccan theme, the dining area/nook is a library theme with strong red colors, I figure a nice mexican theme (not like taco bell mexican) would be nice. I would LOVE to go in and redo Chelsea's room.. but at 16 she's past the age of having mom surprise her with a bedroom redo.. especially since her walls are literally covered in posters, magazine clippings, band memorobilia.. Took her years to do it, she'd probably attempt to kick my ass if I took them all down on her. The kitties are all wonderful, as usual. I'm even getting used to Roxie Rotten. Lucy is sweet n old and my baby. Biddy just went to the vet cus she's so chunky, but they said she was fine (I don't really think she's fine though) Roxie is calming down and not such a terror. She adores Ray.. follows him, cries if he's not there, waits by the door for him. He's her person. My turtle is even doing well.. he's got a great new filter that has taken alot of my work with his tank away. Course, he still needs baths sometimes, which he hates, but I like the little fella.

Husband:
What can I say? 8 months of marriage and it's still so perfect. Me, being anxiety nuts and 'catastrophising' everything, worries that it is so perfect. I worry he'll get sick or hurt or die. I don't worry he'll leave me. He's truly in love with me and is very happy with our little family. He and Chels are adorable together. Realy truly adorable. They love to hang out and be together and tease eachother. They'll poke at eachother and sit reading a comic strip with her head against his shoulder. He's happy to have a family, and happy to have a family that loves him to distraction. Of course, he's wonderful to me. Odd, isn't it? That I should live for so long married to someone who would give the Devil a run for his money.. damn miserable man.. only to figure out what was wrong and find someone who treats me not as a queen, or as a 'wife', but as me. He adores me, and is good to me, and tries to understand even when he doesn't understand my moods. I'm grateful to the powers that be that I was able to find someone like him.

Kid:
Well. Bipolar sucks. That's pretty much all I can say. Here's the thing.. I don't think she's always trying to get better. I'm realizing that Chels may be extremely manipulative. Telling me and her doctors how hard she's working for things to be better, while all the while wallowing in her issues, using them, making them worse. She's the most self destructive person I've ever met... and relishes in it. I suppose she never actually has to try or fail if she's always trying to fail. Eh well. I swing between hopes that she'll open her eyes and realize what she could be, and perhaps being that... and realizing that there's a good chance she'll end up worse off than I was at my low point. She's been drinking.. she decided to tell me 'cus she didn't want to lie' any more. Bullshit is what I say. She uses my emotions like she uses tissues. If it's helpful she'll keep it, if not, fuck it, toss it away. But, again, that's her. Manipulative. I have a feeling she'll not have an easy life, but trying not to blame myself is hard. I know its all on her.. and the scary thing is I know that she won't step up to fix anything. She'll leave it to me. She'd love me to fix things, as long as she can hold onto her 'depression' and such to use as a shield when she's asked to do something she doesn't want to do. Way easier to sniffle and point to a medical problem than to actually get off your ass and do something constructive. eh. I'm bitter. I think I'm reaching the end of my rope. Soon I'll drop the 10 doctor visits a month and the medication that's supposed to 'help' and let her figure out things on her own. I don't want to lose her, but if she's hell bent on killing herself and being a dumbass, there's not much I can do to stop it. How long can I slam my head on a brick wall? I mean.. I did that for years with her father, and I didn't even really like him much.

Stuff:
We're talking about going to Jamaica! Oooh mygod I'd just die, I swear. Never did I think I'd get to go there.. yet we're actually pondering it. I'm SO trying not to push my husband into it, but I so SO want to go. It's hard not to jump on him and tell him 'That's where I want to go, Damnit!!', but I know how he would react to that. Manuvering my husband is like hearding cats... in a snowstorm... with a blindfold on. heh. He doesn't do what he doesn't want to do.. and he digs his heals WAY in if he feels he's being pushed towards something. (it's why I love him!)

Got put on Adderall for my ADHD. I adore it. The clarity I suddenly feel is almost scary! That and the fact that I have SO much energy is great! Got told I have generalized anxiety too.. cus I 'catastrophysize everything'. Yeah. I do that. hadn't realized it before, now I'm annoyed by it. Wish she hadn't told me. I thought everyone spend hours a day worrying over whos gonna die, when am I gonna get in an accident, if my kitty will die soon.. etc etc. OH.. and global war and virus type things, that sends me into a tizzy of worry that literally makes me feel ill. *sigh* damnit. Damn my family's twisted genes all to hell.

Not much else.. sort of getting through at the moment :) Figured I should let people know how things are since I only ever write once every 6 months or so.

My Place :)

2006-01-15T17:28:59Z

Ok.. there are a bunch of pictures behind the cut. I'm warning you so I don't get any emails saying "Sheesh.. too many pictures". Just like the fact that there can never be too much cake, there can never be too many pictures :P

First off.. the bedroom. Please excuse the dark quality of the pictures. My room is DARK. The camera didn't handle it well.

This is my bed! Typically it includes a husband and three cats all snuggled up. It's one of my favorite places.

Here's another one :)

This is my dressing table.. or as it's been dubbed, my shrine to girlyness.

upon closer inspection of the girly shrine, you'll see a picture of my kitten Lucy letting my husband worship her, pictures of my little girl (who's 16 now!) and some of my girly type stuff!

This is the dresser I repainted a few years ago. It's my little tribute to buddah...and it holds my stuff too.

My dresser again.

My favorite lamp.

My favorite kitty, Luncinda Jane.

My momma got me these. They're gorgeous! The frame is wood, then a purple mat, with a gold and red finish. They're from Thailand, but we found them at the Salvation Army store for $5 each. Woooo! (excuse the mess.. they're above my husbands dresser.. which is all guy like and messy.

This is the super expensive hairclip my mother bought me to wear at my wedding (had a fairy wedding, needed sparkles!) I hate leaving it in my jewelry box, so I came up with this as a good way to keep it safe, but display it.

OK.. this is part of my kitchen. I really wanted a red glass tile backspash, but I'm a renter and I don't believe the landlord would appreciate me doing a tile job. So, I bought two pieces of plexiglass for $6 each, then 3 peices of scrap book paper for .99 cents each. I sandwiched the paper (after taping it together) between the plexi and used a dremel tool to etch lines to look like grout (taped out a pattern first). Then I screwed it to the wall. It's not 'perfect', and I don't believe people will think it's tile.. but it adds alot to the room. Makes it much prettier :) And for $15 bucks and 45 minutes of work you can't go wrong.

Stove

Stove again

Sooo.. that's it. I'll take pictures of the breakfast nook and living room later. And when I'm done our new craft/sewing room I'll take some pictures of that, too.

My springy bag...

2005-03-24T11:52:53Z

I made this a week or so ago, but until the sky stops dumping snow on me I don't feel in the mood to use it. So it's sits sadly, waiting for a bit of sunshine...

and here's my lil green birdy up close...

Fun! *Squeee!*

NOOOooo!

2005-03-01T12:11:49Z

I finally found a place for our reception...

I was SO excited, especially since the lady told me "It's seventy five to rent" I said "Seventy five hundred!?" she said "OH no. $75 dollars for the day" WOOO HOO! Sign me up! Yeah... so I was happy and relieved that I finally found a nice little place, especially since it was cheap AND less than a mile from the waterfall where we're having the ceremony. BUT (there's always a but) she called me last night at work to tell me that she made a mistake. August 20th isn't open - the church is putting on a BBQ that day. I said "I like BBQ's!" She said "Sorry, you can't have it that day - Can you change the date?" CHANGE THE DATE?! No I can't change the date. They have "save the date" cards, but they do not have "I know you saved the date but now change the date 'cus them church people are mighty hungry for bbq'd bird!" ARG!!!!

It just shouldn't be this hard. *sigh*

Back to square one.

Wedding Stuff Update!

2005-02-22T15:54:14Z

Ok, it's been awhile since I updated all of my wedding stuff in one place. Pieces of it have been scattered all over, and I seem to have trouble organizing it all in one place, even in my own head. Luckily I have the worlds best planner/organizer (sis in law) coming to help me - and I have some great friends that seem so willing to lend a hand. Sometimes the realization that I have such wonderful people in my life surprises me, although I don't know why it should.

K.. Dress.. Bought, paid for, and sitting in my closet looking all pretty n stuff.

Click to see dress... Ray, no clicky!

Shoes;
Not bought/made. I was thinking of buying these but my thrifty/crafty nature really rebels against purchasing something I could make for cheaper.

Click for shoes - Ray, no clicky!

Chelsea's Dress;
Hitting a snag here.. it's called "15 year old". I would have to make this, because they want like $300 for it, and that's a big NO. But here's what I want for her;

I still need this, imo.

Rings still in the running;

Posey rings for the wedding. I kind of like these ones. I'd want it in white gold, though.
"Ot Dushi (FROM MY SOUL) – Russian Poesy Ring
Museum Authorized Reproduction hand-cast by the lost-wax method and finished in the US. Available in Sterling Silver, 14k or 18k Yellow, White or Rose Gold and Platinum by special order. Available sizes are whole and half sizes 5-12. Price: $55.00 (silver)"

More Notes I've made on "wedding stuffs":

Invites;
*This part may actually drive me insane. I've started on wording, tho. Here's some quotes I have so far;

************************************************

[a few quotes I'm thinking of using]

(Maybe to put on the directions page)
I know a bank where the wild thyme blows,
Where oxlips and the nodding violet grows,
Quite over-canopied with luscious woodbine,
With sweet musk-roses and with eglantine.
- A Midsummer Night's Dream

So we grew together,
Like to a double cherry, seeming parted,
But yet an union in partition.
Two lovely berries moulded on one stem;
So, with two seeming bodies, but one heart.
- A Midsummer Night's Dream

Each friend represents a world in us,
a world possibly not born until they arrive,
and it is only by this meeting that a new world is born.
- Anaïs Nin

True love is friendship - caught on fire.
- Anonymous
*******************************************

*I have some other things written, but since I don't want to ruin it for the invitees I'm gonna keep it secret for a bit.

Site Decoration

*Glass jars w/candles
*Flowers (hopefully wild flowers, hopefully cheap!)
*Music (Not sure what yet.. probably Govinda, thought of asking big brother to play some guitar music, tho. He plays so beautifully)
*Flower petals down the path (Jetta had some cool idea 'bout this, I'll have to ask her again) Still thinking on this.. may be a good idea, but it seems too much like work. ew.

Reception
*Update on this, I've written the little private school I attended while living in Wilton, and they do rent out their facilities at times.. although I've not heard back from them on cost. I'll find this out.
I've also sent emails to The Stepping Stone BB and the Wilton Library asking them if they ever rent space to have a small reception.
*Lots of little string lights
*Flowers
*Favors (I'm getting some aid from Miss Lee and Jetta on this one - plus, it should be a surprise :P )
*CAKE!! YAY!
*Candles
*Appetizer type finger food. (Joyce has offered to cater this. I'm going to contact her more about that. I've also asked my Step-mother to help me with menu decisions.)
*Champagne
*Coffee/Tea
*Music

Things I have left to sort out/do

*Figure out exactly how I'm going to do the invites. Can't be plain ol' regular invites...that would be so not-me.

*Get Chelsea's dress.

*Drag the fella to Headlines to try on the piratey medival shirt I want him to wear. (I may need to drug him or get him drunk first)

*Decide on a menu (Hors Dourves)

*Find a freakin' place for the reception - For gods sake, should it really be this hard?!

*Get together with the priestess. She's supposed to email me but again I've not heard from her. I'll have to call her on Friday when she's at work and poke her til she sends me what she's been writing up.

*Figure out how we'll arrange the office room to house the mom-in-law to be.

*Send out the last few "hold the date" cards to people I've added to the guest list.

*Go Cake Testing! YAY!! A very good part of the wedding process.. I shall eat cake until I no longer fit in my wedding attire.

*Remember to take 10 minutes to thank my fella for making me so happy and dealing with my psychotic wedding planning behavior.

*Talk to a travel agent about the honeymoon. I'm really stressed about this one. I'm so worried about the money for this - I'm almost afraid to find out exactly what it will cost.

*As soon as it's spring I need to ride out to the place where the lady sell such gorgeous wild flowers. She sells the beautiful bouqets for $4.00 a bunch.. I want about 10 bunches. I figure I'll go out there and leave her a note (since she doesn't stand out there, she just has an honor system box.. how cute, eh?)

*When it's warm I want Ray, Chels and I to go to the falls and sort of figure out how we'll do things there. Maybe I'll drag a few friends too. (email me if you want in! hehe)

Well.. that's it for today. I'm sure I'll think of about 50 other things in the next month or so.
</cut>

wedding shoes

2005-02-22T13:37:44Z

K.. thinking of going with these;

pretty!

Understand that my fiance teases me about wearing flipflops all summer. I have tons of them. Every color and style - I thought this would be cute. Plus, I'll be out in the woods.. may as well wear something more sensible than heels!

The wedding Dress!

2005-02-12T12:42:08Z

Yes yes.. I've finally found the dress I want. I've purchased the sucker and it should be here on Tuesday the 15th. Hazah! Make sure when you look at the link that you click "enlarge" and the detail links.. you gotta see the back. OOooh so pretty!

Clickitty Click Click!

*does a little happy hoppy dance*

Werkin' on da Hizzous.

OK.. people know that my apartment has been a work in progress Forver! Seems like I lose interest in 'fixing up' once I start. Well I'm nearly complete with all (except the Living room) and wanted to show off a bit.

Here we go. This is the "Nook".. basically it's a little alcove off the Kitchen (which I don't have pics yet of and it's messy right now so no Kitchen pics, sorry)

Nook before the new table.^

Nook after the new table^ (Wee!)

A'nutter new table pic. I adore this thing. It's a hightop, so it comes up to about my waist. Fits the fella perfect since he's so freakishly tall and all.

FINALLY painted the bedroom! (It's only been 2 years.. don't rush, huh?) Still need to glaze it with a dark color, but for now it's 'sahara gold'.

Nutter bedroom pic

I just painted these this weekend. I wanted some funky indian looking art that would look good with the new color scheme and couldnt find what I wanted.. so I made it myself (love dat craftiness!)

This is the living room.. still haven't decided what color to do this in. I'm thinking a nice sage green.. but I change my mind daily.

Any advice/suggestions?

Eventually I'll put up the kitchen, bathrooms, office and laundry room.. but they're still only partly done. :)

Return of Bride-Zilla..... RAH!

2005-01-11T14:07:34Z

k.. here are some things I'm looking at at the moment...

(not a dress, but I'm SO gonna have to get this.)
*************************************************

I'll probably end up with something like this
"sm,med,lrg,xlrg -$169.00" dress 1
*************************************************

I love this one too.. same maker.
"Available in Ivory, pale Green,peri Blue,Red, Black and Peach
$235.00"dress 2
*************************************************
Dress 3 & 4 removed - too freakin' much moola!
*************************************************

"265.00 includes shipping"dress 5
*************************************************

Love love love this one! Probably not too shape friendly though.
"Price: US $179"dress 6
*************************************************

I like this alot - not my favorite, but I think it may hide a multitude of flaws. heh
"Price: US $179"dress 7
*************************************************

ok.. to0 fancy, far too much money... but is this not THE most gorgeous wedding dress you've ever seen?

Bookmarks....

2004-12-16T12:11:41Z

I have a fairly impressive collection of interesting bookmarks and figured I'd post'em in case anyone finds anything they're interested in. (I love peeking at other peoples interests!)

Jenna's Bookmarks

Enjoy!

(NOTE: if I have nasty stuff in there it's your own darn fault for peeking :P)

saw this today...

2004-06-13T13:27:40Z

someone made these neat cork boards and now I MUST have some. I love them! How cool would a bunch of these with interesting trinkets hanging off them look? I want them for my office *nod*

Best Cookies Ever

2004-05-30T13:07:29Z

I swear.. these cookies should be outlawed.. mmmmmm way yummy!

This was posted by stellunasoleil in hip_domestics quite awhile back.

Ingredients:
1/2 cup shortning
1/2 cup butter
1 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flower
1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (iffin' ya want.. I replaced this with 1 cup peanutbutter chips)

*Preheat oven to 374 degrees.
*Beat shortning and butter in a bowl for 30 secons on medium to high speed.
*Add the sugars, baking soda and salt; beat until combined.
*Beat in eggs and vanilla until combined.
*Beat in as much flower as humanly possible with your trusty mixer.
*Stir in remaning flour with a wooden spoon, if needed.
*Stir in chocolate and nuts.
*Eat a spoonful or two.. who doesn't love cookie dough?
*Drop by rounded teaspoonfuls 2 inches (or so) apart on an ungreased cookie sheet.
*Bake for 8-10 minutes or until edges are browned.
*Cool (not too much for gooy middles) and eat! (Preferably with a glass of cold milk)

Seriously.. these things are SO good!

poor birdies :(

2004-05-22T21:29:48Z

Every year we have two little finches that build a nest next to my screen porch window. I watch them build their nest and listen anxiously for the baby peeps. I really get a ton of enjoyment out of them. (so do my poor deprived kittys)

This year I've been concerned. Their nest was constantly falling apart. Parts of it would be on my porch step almost daily. For the last two weeks I've been waiting for baby peeps.. none have come. Yesterday I found two dead little baby birds. One on my porch step, one directly beneath the nest. Part of the nest is hanging down from the little nook they build in and since I found the poor little things and buried them, I've not seen the parents at all.

I was thinking perhaps I should get a ladder and push some of the nest up and maybe nail a little peice of wood up so that the nest won't fall again (in case there are any more babies.. I dont want them to fall out, too). Does anyone here know if the parents will come back? Or if touching the nest or putting the wood up will upset the birds and cause them not to come back next year? I'm really so upset about the whole thing.

Thanks in advance..

wOOT!

Spring Cleaning...White woodwork... and Magic Eraser!

My sistah's.. can I hear a *Hallelujah* for Magic Eraser!

HALLELUJAH!

Amen!

Time on my hands....

2004-03-13T03:24:52Z

I was bored last night, and rather than sit there watching South Park and munching on girlscout cookies, I felt it would be best to do something constructive.

I grabbed an old white wallclock that's been blah-ing up my place for awhile, some purple and lime paint color cards, and an old wacky purple gifty bag... armed myself with my trusty glue-gun... and went crafty silly!

Weeeeeeeeee! Ok.. it's a bit gaudy, but I adore it ;)
