Jennifer’s Fantasy Poker Tour

June 9, 2008

You all probably know by now that poker is my game. I started learning it when my dad’s side of the family would get together, and I played it very, very badly for years. In fact, up until about 10 years ago, I needed the rank of hands (what beats what) scribbled on a little […]

Floating

June 7, 2008

Last night, the four of us went swimming at one of our neighborhood pools. Evening is my favorite time for that. There are usually just a handful of others using the pool, and by the time we leave, we sometimes have it all to ourselves. A bonus is that no one needs sunscreen. The pool […]

Goodnight Bush

June 6, 2008

You heard it here first. This is the coffee table book of the year. My friend Ms. W sent me the link to this, and I’m quite sure I won’t be able to resist buying it. If you click on the image, it will take you to GoodnightBush.com, where you can take a look inside […]

Backseat band

June 4, 2008

When Girl and Boy aren’t fighting in the backseat, they do something that can make any round of errands better, and make me giddy and proud… They sing along to my music in the car. Of course, I play their CDs, too. Veggie Tales, Dr. Seuss, etc. But when they ask for music that they […]

…But now I'm found

June 2, 2008

Geez. Write just one post about a book called How Babies Are Made and no one lets you forget it, certainly not all the Googlers out there who have found my blog by entering multiple derivatives of that title. Funny, I thought this would be the post that would haunt me. Honestly, I’m such a […]

Rooms with a view

May 28, 2008

(There’s a meme floating around that asks, among other things, “What were you doing 10 years ago?” It’s a question to which I can give a specific answer because my memories of that time are so clear.) The summer before, I had moved into a perfect, lovely apartment in Woodbury, Connecticut (the town is called […]

The one where she almost has a heart attack

May 27, 2008

Last evening, I decided to mark a task off of my honey-do list. A list which is totally imaginary (and where I’m the honey and the do-er) and is more “oh yeah, lightbulbs” than “change the lightbulbs out front on Sunday.” You’re all up to speed, I think, on the the recent travel habits of […]

Montana, Banana-fana fo-fana, Hannah

May 25, 2008

photo by jjsglacialfun I’ve got wanderlust today. Specifically, I’m aching to go back to Montana. This morning, I found this blog, From the Front Porch, filled with Ann’s gorgeous photos of the scenery from her I’m-envious-of-it place in Montana. From time to time I troll the real estate listings in Montana around Flathead Lake, near […]

So, this is exciting…

May 23, 2008

Posted in my neighborhood: That’s it? How does that call go if, let’s just say, I’m walking down the street to get the mail without my cell phone? See, I was thinking maybe our HOA should offer a few practical, life-saving strategies for what to do right then. A few significant strategies, like: Make yourself […]

Hot doctors here!

May 22, 2008

Hmm, after the sprinkle of comments on yesterday’s post (wonderful, thoughtful comments–and I loved every one of them), I’m thinking that maybe it takes something more sensational to tickle your general fancy, something like Hot Doctors! or Cowboy Butts in Wranglers! to get all y’all’s attention, so that’s what I’m going to give you today.
