I have a cousin who recently used the phrase “Family isn’t a word- it’s a sentence”. I’m pretty sure she meant it negatively (for one since she is generally pretty negative and also because I know her father) but I’ve been thinking lately much more positively about family.Someone asked me to imagine being an only child. I was surprised at just how depressing that thought was. I have three brothers and no sisters so I have always (honestly) felt a little gipped in the sibling department. Sorry boys. But when asked to imagine life without them I found it to be a surprisingly depressing thought.It’s not just the fact that…

Dating Laws
Currently averaging a post a month. Must step this up a bit. As I consider starting to think about maybe one day dating I am reminded of the rules of dating. You know them. There are spoken rules, the ones that generally revolve around morals, decency and appropriate dinner conversation. You might think these rules would be obvious, but since men don’t always get it, they must occasionally be formally stated (and I’m not male-bashing here; I just have three brothers). Then there are the unwritten rules. I have to assume that most casual daters are familiar with at least a couple of these. Rules that govern whether or not…

Give a little bit
So I’ve decided what good is a blog without some purpose? What are you, dear reader, getting out of wasting your time on my particular blog? So I’ve decided to start occasionally evaluate products and services. And in my desire for a good visual cue, I’ve created a little design logo for these business reviews.For the good ones: For the not good ones: So to begin, I’d like to give “mad props” to Pack Rats storage units. They will come and drop off a storage box which you can then take all the time you need to fill. They will come pick it up, place it in a storage facility…

Planning
It’s been awhile I know. I expect my excuse- a 2 week long vacation isn’t going to draw any sympathy, but I also suspect no one is reading this anyway! I have, since my last post, vacationed and then moved into my new apartment. I can’t boast much more, including unpacking since work and friends have side-tracked me. Apparently if there isn’t anyone there to nag you about unpacking, you won’t do it (which makes sense and reminds me how many people I know who live alone and have never really unpacked…). I’m such a slacker. Actually, I’m thinking about going back to school, which, with a full-time job would…

Welcome!
Dude! Sweet! I know what you’re thinking… this is just what Jen needs. A place for her to have the oppurtunity to expound upon her considerable number of ridiculous thoughts. You’re right. It’s absurd. Hopefully no one will read this but me, and hopefully when I read it I won’t be embarresed at how retarded I am. Is there a spell-checker on here?
