Ways I’m Saving Money Whilst Unemployed: By not going to any interviews, therefore saving in gas costs.  By making my own meals. I’ve only eaten out FOUR TIMES in the past seven weeks, and two of those were Taco Bell for under three dollars (it is very, very wrong that my first/only Mexican food since [...]

Has this ever happened to anyone else? No? Just me?

Last night, I ripped off a bandaid and it TOOK MY SKIN WITH IT.  Just like the time my gay friend in high school, Paul, waxed his eyebrows whilst on Accutane. Luckily, the bandaid was on the back of my arm, so the risk of me sporting a unibrow scab like his for the next [...]

Handiwork

Time for another round! Just playing around with my buggy design. Everything’s better with a French translation. Sailboat! A little bit proud of this one. Pinwheel! Took forever. Sorry for the duplicate background. Grey stripes go with everything. Snail! I made that background myself! Well, I made all these backgrounds myself, but this one was [...]

Guess I’ll update my blog…

Just because I haven’t been posting doesn’t mean I’ve been neglecting. Please admire my new blog design, and by “blog design” I mean header. I also changed the color of my links as well. And drew a turkey!!!!!! Definitely worth checking out, for those of you who never stray outside of Google Reader. I’ve clearly [...]

The Good Old Days, Episode II

Some more oft-told Sweet family lore.  This second installment begins eerily similar to the first. That time my mom went out of town and my dad forgot to feed the horses for three days. He only realized his mistake when my mom called to ask how her ponies were doing. He sprinted outside, threw them some [...]

I’M UNEMPLOYED!!

And quitting yesterday morning was the best thing I ever did. I’m not going to hash out all the details on my public blog, but let’s just say the job didn’t work out. Luckily I cut my losses early and can move on to bigger and better things. I’m totally and completely assured in my [...]

I’M EMPLOYED!!

For the first time in two years! The job search went so much better than I ever could have hoped. I’ve only really been looking for two weeks, have had several interviews, and even turned down a couple of offers. Then, on Monday I met with a woman at a counseling office, today I went [...]

Pre-Hallowe’en Treat

I don’t think it’s possible for you to love this picture even half as much as I do, but you can sure try. [Insert blood-curdling scream here] Still have the scar from those stitches, btw: Fortunately, the swelling has since gone down. (And there isn’t a cool story of how the injury happened. I tripped [...]

Here’s one for Regretsy.com

At first glance, I thought it was a rock vaguely shaped like Idaho for sale for $15.95 plus $6 shipping. Then I realized it was a PICTURE of a rock vaguely shaped like Idaho for sale for $15.95 plus $6 shipping. Source:http://jessica-jensen.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default?alt=rss

I want my money back

[phone conversation]Me: I made Banoffee the other day.Annie: Huh?Me: Banoffee.Annie: …..what did you say?Me: Banoffee.Annie: Ga-nocky? Oooooh, gnocchi.Me: No. Banoffee. Like banana-toffee. Banoffee. Apparently it’s a staple in the UK and catching on in the US. I followed this recipe, and the entire thing was sort of a disaster. First of all, the girl’s recommendation [...]

Why I Will Never Book Travel through Expedia Ever Again, and Why You Should Very Seriously Consider Doing the Same :)

(Fair warning – this post is very long and has no resolution. If you’re looking for a story with an ending, you came to the wrong place.) To recap, during our move down to Phoenix we planned to stay a night in Page, Arizona. We searched Expedia for dog-friendly hotels and booked a room in [...]

A Conversation I Wish I’d Had, Circa October 2004

Me: Hi! I’m your downstairs neighbor.Woman: ..Uhh…hi?Me: No, no, I don’t think you understand. I’m the neighbor that you reported yesterday because my music was “blaring”.Woman: Oh, right. Well my baby was napping so yes, I reported you.Me: Yeah, it was an interesting phone call. When management made contact, my roommate and I were sure [...]

The Family Video

The. THEEE family video. There is only one. (Thank goodness my uncle gave us excerpts of his footage from Christmas 1989, otherwise there would be ZERO family videos.) This summer I looked into having it converted from VHS to digital, but there was no one in Rexburg to do it for me so I had to [...]

How Jon Kills a Shower Spider

Jon: How am I supposed to kill this thing? Me: Just get a shoe and kill it. Jon: [shudder] I think I’ll drown it in shampoo. [proceeds to drown it in shampoo] Me: …is it dead yet? Jon: I don’t think so. [waits thirty seconds, then turns on the water to rinse it down the [...]

New digs!

It is very important to me that you know the exact layout of my Apartment Home, so, please, periodically refer to the floor plan throughout this post. Our place is exactly like the blueprint, not reversed like other more stupid apartment complexes sometimes do. As a result, our Apartment Home was almost exactly like how [...]

pre-move

Time to get caught up on a few pictures from before the journey. BIRDS: So this was so weird. Jon and I were on our way back to Idaho after a trip to Canada and I just happened to glance up in time to see what I thought was a giant elk. I only saw [...]

Bibs are not just for babies and the elderly

I’m not quite ready to post pictures of our new place, because I haven’t taken them, nor have I finished unpacking. But! I AM ready to reveal that thing I made! I know the suspense has been killing you all summer, ever since I first announced a couple of months ago that I was actually [...]

Phoenician

(Disclaimer: This is a very long, possibly very boring, not at all clever blog post outlining our move from Idaho to Arizona. I wouldn’t blame you if you wanted to skip it altogether.) I live in Phoenix now. This move from beginning to end was the most exhausting of my life for a thousand reasons [...]

I know what you’re thinking

You’re wondering why I’m posting pictures of fetuses when we’re supposed to be in Phoenix. Well I have good news on that front! Our moving truck is broken down in Montana and this morning our Jeep wouldn’t start! Obviously I’m glad it died in my mom’s driveway and not somewhere outside of Beaver, Utah. Still, [...]

Worst Ad Ever

Fetuses in the palm of someone’s (God’s?) hand. And don’t get me started on that flagrant abuse of an apostrophe. Don’t even get me started. Source:http://jessica-jensen.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default?alt=rss

Photo Op

Like I said here and here, and I should have said here, I am not a photographer by any stretch of the imagination, nor did my husband ever buy me a D-SLR which so many people seem to think automatically qualifies them to charge their friends money for photos. HOWEVER; I do love to take [...]

The definition of awesome

Yes. Us employing our horses’ tails as moustaches. I have no memory of this, but I really hope it had been my idea.

THE SHADOW OF MY BANGS

This photo just inspired the title of my memoirs. (Long ago, I posted another picture from this same photoshoot, along with a frank description of 14-year-old me,  here. Ten minutes ago, I scanned my last picture from the archives – my summer project, remember? – so get ready for flashback overload once we’ve made the [...]

September 11

I was in tenth grade and living in Gardnerville, Nevada. Being three hours different from New York, I first heard the news from Jared Whitaker on our daily commute to early-morning LDS seminary. It was one of the only times that we ever talked on that drive, the entire year. As soon as I climbed [...]
