Spilling the Beans

I’m a PC

javajennifer | September 23, 2009

It’s been so long since I’ve posted… anything and I would urge you to keep fairly low expectations for this entry.  Though I would very much like to write about Mackenzie Phillips ill-conceived tell all book and couch-side sit in with Oprah, I’m glued to Facebook with a now empty bag of Peanut Butter M&M’s [...]

Sarah Lousie Palin, Will you please go now?

javajennifer | July 5, 2009

The time has come. The time is now. Just go. Go.  GO! I don’t care how. You can go by moose. You can go by cow. Sarah Louise Palin, will you please go now? You can write your book. You can blame the press. You can raise your kids.   Stop making Alaska a  mess. I don’t [...]

The three enchiladas

javajennifer | June 8, 2009

Because they are children I am for want of naming them on-line and decided that with their 3 enormous smiles… cheesy smiles… that I would start calling them the three enchiladas. Back when LizBeth was no more than 4, I took her to see a children’s play with another little girl, LynnCate.  LynnCate knew the meaning [...]

Sleep: the key to parenthood

javajennifer | June 8, 2009

Sleep. When you have kids sleep is everything.  As in you don’t get any and you’re basically OK with that as long as they do. After I put the The Fugitive (my new nickname for the fingernail painting middle child) back in bed for the umteenth time, I hugged a pillow, listened to the dogs [...]

Barack and Hugo

javajennifer | April 20, 2009

The rain in DC today is almost Biblical in it’s totality.  Since the temperature has gone from 85 degrees to 40 degrees in matter of hours, I’ve joined the legions of locals with scratchy throats all of whom would rather be surfing the sofa.  I was headed there when I was stopped by my office VP who [...]

Bitches and Basketball

javajennifer | April 19, 2009

I’ve written some blogs before about not understanding men.  Truth be told, I don’t understand women either.  Particularly when it comes to the sisterhood of women which too often seems to resemble into a coven of whiches. One of my supermodel friends celebrated a birthday this  week and decided to do something different this year to [...]

Pirates are terrorists

javajennifer | April 17, 2009

When the Captain of the Maersk was first captured by pirates, I started to write a blog post with several arrgghhh, aye matey and shiver me timbers.  Then 3 of the pirates were killed, Rush Limbaugh decided to make it a race issue,  and what little sense of decorum I have kicked into gear and I [...]

DC Tea Party

javajennifer | April 16, 2009

God knows I love a good protest.  My office is next door to the Washington Post office and two blocks from the White House.  There are protests all the time and I go out of my way to join in even if I don’t know what the protest is about or what side I’m on.  [...]

38,000 Feet & 38,000 Thoughts

javajennifer | March 5, 2009

We are scheduled to land into Houston about 15 minutes early which could be a good thing if they have a gate for us and a bad thing if we sit on the tarmac for 20 minutes.  In either case, I’ve got 42% battery life on my laptop. A quick shout out to my dear [...]
