“Fat” not “Fluffy”

javajennifer admins | December 31, 2007

  It’s no surprise to me that my family in Kansas City is shocked by my appearance and not in a good way.  I am, officially, fat.  There, I’ve said it and so now my inner circle can rest assured that I know that they know that I know that I’m fat.  What can I [...]

  I was 17 years old when he was born.  17 , and headed to a college which now serves as the rival to his.  A girl in my office dates a man older than I am; he’s 41 and she’s 26.  It’s an odd pairing but I get the appeal.  May- December romances are sweet [...]

I’m Not That Girl

javajennifer admins | December 23, 2007

Growing up in the Midwest (the actual Midwest, not the Midwest that people from Ohio and Minnesotta claim is Midwest) it would surprise you to know that by the time I went to college, I’d had a fair amount of exposure to The Theat-ah thanks in no small part to my “aunts” (who aren’t really [...]

Because we need more White Trash

I haven’t bought the OK Magazine this week with the picture of Jamie Lynn Spears on the cover in all her 16 –year old pouty-lipped glory but as I’ve been in southern California for the last 7 days since the pregnancy rumor broke and was subsequently confirmed,  I don’t have to actually read the article to [...]

Happy Birthday! Love, Dexter

javajennifer admins | December 19, 2007

I haven’t written anything since my last entry from Chicago in part because I shared the link with an unemployed friend of mine who was fairly critical which validated the criticism that I heap aplenty on my writing as is.  “It’s evolving” I defended, hating myself and thankful that this exchange happened over IM.  Life-long [...]

Fun with the TSA

javajennifer admins | December 12, 2007

Abdul threw me a curve this morning by not letting me pay for my cab ride.  He said to me with hands on either side of my face “Dear, you are in my heart”  only with his accent it sounds more like “Here, make me fart”.  It took me 8 hours to get from where [...]

Abdul

javajennifer admins | December 11, 2007

In about 12 hours, Abdul my driver will pick me up to take me to the airport.  And although Abdul has been driving me to the airport for the last 3 years, our conversations have never really evolved.  He asks me where I’m going, if I’m going for work or for vacation and he always, [...]

It’s the one by the Kinkos

My favorite Starbucks isn’t the one closest to my house, it’s the one that used to be on the way to seeing clients that I now no longer have.  It has the perfect location in that I could get a Venti anything and still have some left over by the time I got to my [...]
