I might as well tell you about the only time I ever deliberately stole something. The theft just so happened to take place on the exact day that I met Jon, though he has absolutely nothing to do with why I did it (not consciously, anyway. Ha! That is going to be mildly to moderately [...]
Do not, under any circumstance, EVER say or type any of the following:“Pinterest has the best recipes!”“Pinterest has the best photography!”“Pinterest has the cutest clothes!”“Pinterest has the best ideas!”“I read the best blog post on Pinterest!”“I made it from Pinterest!”Please commit the following to memory: Pinterest is not a retailer. Pinterest is not a designer. [...]
Me: It’s super easy to know the difference between “desert” and “dessert”. “Dessert” has two S’s, because you always want two desserts! Corinne: But what if I want two deserts? —fin— Source:http://jessica-jensen.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default?alt=rss
27-04-2010 07:33 Renee Gaudreau, ovarian cancer patient, describes her battle with ovarian cancer, and how Dr. Ruchi Garg of Inova Fairfax Hospital used the new, state-of-the-art da Vinci robot to help her.
So I used to do this thing on my blog where I’d post text messages I’d received from friends and family without any context whatsoever, and it tended to be hilarious. My friend Brittany came up with the idea and I glommed right on to it – see previous installations here, here, here, here and [...]
Something amazing has happened. It started happening a couple of weeks ago but it became official today. My position with my old company just became permanent – something I’ve been hoping for and (literally) dreaming about ever since I left the firm to go live overseas two and a half years ago. Actually, I should [...]
My sister ejected another infant from her womb! His name is Joseph and you can see more pictures of him on her blog. Source:http://jessica-jensen.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default?alt=rss
Me: Why is this British fish-and-chips joint called “The Codfather”?? And look – it’s definitely a reference to the movie – because the employee’s shirts have fish dressed as mafia mobsters on them. Why would a BRITISH fish-and-chips place use a play-on-words of an American/Italian symbol as its name and logo??? This makes no sense. Jon: [...]

Mary Engler discusses the results of her research that show that chocolate and cocoa are rich, plant-derived sources of antioxidant flavonoids that promote beneficial effects to the cardiovascular system.

I feel like I need to start this obligatory post how everyone else does – WHAT A YEAR – but the truth is this: My year was actually really boring. After wrapping up our time on Statia and moving back to America there was about a five month lull in Idaho at my parent’s place, [...]
We drove up to Salt Lake for Christmas this year. It was a little more low-key than usual – my mom was sick (more on that later), and Corinne’s due any moment with her little boy. Apparently flying cross country while 39 weeks pregnant isn’t advised. (I emailed her yesterday to see what she was [...]
(We are currently in Utah. I wrote this blog post two days ago and never got around to publishing it. Woopsies. Also, since this was written, we celebrated our SEVENTH wedding anniversary which probably deserves its own post but isn’t going to get it.) I have been such a slacker. Working full time is not [...]
Sometime someone ask me a question immediately after I take a swig of water so that I can answer normally without swallowing first. We are going to laugh SO hard. Source:http://jessica-jensen.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default?alt=rss
I finally got my blog Christmassed! Also, remember how I made this? You may have it. Happy Christmas. (download here.) Source:http://jessica-jensen.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default?alt=rss
When we lived in Tucson, I worked for the best company on earth for two and a half years. I won’t get sappy about it, even though A) my feelings about it are very sappy, and B) those were some of the happiest years of my entire life. I’ll just say that leaving was heartbreaking, [...]
Finally, pictures from our trip to Utah for Thanksgiving. On the way there, we flew right over the Grand Canyon. It was awesome. We also passed directly over Kennecotte copper mine (sadly, unpictured). Our first day there, the whole family went to the new Natural History Museum of Utah. Quite a view from the balcony [...]
We boarded Penny at a kennel while we were in Utah, and I wondered how much of her time there she’d spend barking. My question was answered shortly after she arrived home. Source:http://jessica-jensen.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default?alt=rss
Jonny J, rocking the side part On Friday night, Jon arrived home after seven weeks in Dallas. Just a few days after we moved to Phoenix, he left for a medical licensing exam review course and I’ve been all alone this whole time. You didn’t know he was gone, because I don’t know you’re not [...]
It’s not a long list. The first was Amanda Wetherbee. In seventh grade, I was not very cool. I’d just moved across the country and was trying unsuccessfully to fit in to clicks that had formed when my classmates were fetuses. After a few months of eating lunch alone, I was befriended by one of [...]
