Put down the Do-Nut

javajennifer admins | February 29, 2008

I can walk by a do-nut and gain a pound.  The do-nut doesn’t have to come anywhere near my lips, just walking by a do-nut left out on a plate, hell- it can even be stale and I am sure to gain weight.   To lose a pound I have to drink 72 ounces of [...]

Friends don’t let friends Google

javajennifer admins | February 22, 2008

It’s been a slow week for JavaJennifer in the best possible way.  I worked two half days from home and felt, if only momentarily, a connection to the things I really enjoyed in my job with Company X.  Specifically, that I was able to cook and enjoy a nice breakfast and a mid-day “run” at [...]

What are the odds?

javajennifer admins | February 21, 2008

I sometimes wonder if it’s just my nature or if other people feel like this. The Navy successfully blew up the Spy Satellite yesterday.  Evidently it’s the size of a bus.  I know it’s wrong, but I can’t help but wish that a big chunk of it would fall on he- who- shall- not- be- [...]

JavaJennifer gets a new Toy

javajennifer admins | February 19, 2008

 …. Not THAT kind of toy!  My new espresso maker for making soy lattes.  This is my second Krups; I had the first one for 8 years before the seal broke.  Considered to be inexpensive by most standards- I think it was $49.95 on Amazon.

A Democrat in Nashville

javajennifer admins | February 18, 2008

  I needed to look at a map of the United States this morning to be certain that Tennessee is in fact, in the United States.  Although only an hour and a half flight from DC it is a giant cultural step backward where the “N” word is still used to describe non- whites and [...]

All News is Local

javajennifer admins | February 15, 2008

I sometimes use this blog space to rant about what’s going on in my life which, outside my immediate circle of friends has limited marketability and as I look back over my posts, I find that I sound like a navel-gazing self absorbed college freshman. If I wake up late, I treat myself to a [...]

Heart-On

javajennifer admins | February 14, 2008

  I know it comes as no surprise that men and women have very different notions of what is,  and isn’t romantic.  A collegue of mine is taking his wife on a horse drawn carriage ride downtown at her suggestion and because I can’t get the image of Kramer, the handsome cab and the Costco-sized can [...]

Black Thursday

javajennifer admins | February 13, 2008

I sat in traffic for over two hours last night to travel the 12 miles it takes to get from my office to my house.  I know everyone likes to think that the traffic in their town is oh-so-bad but lemme just say this:  no matter how bad you think your traffic is, it’s still [...]
