digital camera
January 02, 2006
"If anyone is interested, I’ve listed my old digital camera on eBay. Or if you know anyone who might be :) We’re starting some major cleaning out of crap from our house, hence the sale. I may have some more things soon, too. It’s amazing what 2 people can accumulate over a few years…. More posts like [...]"
not much to say, but it’s really long anyway.
January 05, 2006
"I don’t really have anything to say, but I felt I should post. I don’t know why I ‘feel’ like I should post sometimes.. like it’s a job or an obligation or something. But, I do. Sooo… what to talk about? I’ve had a bit of a break in my freelance projects because of the holidays, [...]"
nerd-fest
January 09, 2006
"Dan and I played this game together tonight. I’m not sure what was more dorky: the fact that we played an RPG together, or the fact that we got such joy out of stealing gold treasure chests from each other. I think we need to get out more. More posts like this: dirty little secrets November 4, 2005 retraction [...]"
at least we’re not grunting
January 12, 2006
"Dan and I tend to have our own language when we talk to each other. It consists mostly of calling each other ‘Turd Stain’ or ‘Turd Burglar’ or ‘Newman’ (as in Jerry’s nemesis on Seinfeld) or sometimes lately ‘Turd Bucket’ (sensing a theme here?) (We also call the cats these lovely names, and they respond [...]"
the fact that I was able to guess is scary
January 13, 2006
"Email correspondence between Dan and me this morning: Dan: Ahhhhhh… Jen: aaaahhhhh… what? Dan: Guess Jen: I have no idea… did you fart? Dan: Nope… Jen: then I don’t know… did you poop? Dan: B I N G O Jen: I hate you. More posts like this: countdown to Sunday February 2, 2006 why do I take this abuse? February 9, 2006 arrivederci! May 12, 2006 boo! October [...]"
this is why we love the game
January 15, 2006
"Dear Steelers, Well, I think the collective blood pressure of the city of Pittsburgh went through the roof this afternoon. Seriously, guys. You can’t keep doing this to us. To me. I can’t take it! Having the shakes from adrenaline for 30 minutes after the game is over… that’s just so not cool. Going from ‘Yeah we [...]"
addicted in no time
"I have discovered something not unlike crack for me. NetFlix. Why oh why have I waited so long to sign up? $10 a month and I can get any DVD I want, and keep it however long it takes me to get around to watching it? AND I don’t have to go to the stupid [...]"
I bleed Black and Gold
January 22, 2006
"Here we go Steelers, Here we go!!!! Super Bowl, baby. Here we come! PS- Perhaps I’ll have a substantial post in a few days… right now I’m wrapped up in the Steeler victory, re-tiling our bathroom floor, and getting some new jobs rolling. Life is full and good. PSS- Oh, and on Friday, we were out to dinner [...]"
true story
January 24, 2006
"I am so fed up with work right now, for numerous reasons. Then I got this in my inbox and it made me smile. THE PLAN In the beginning there was the plan. And then came the assumptions. And the assumptions were without form. And the plan was without substance. And darkness was upon the face of the workers. And [...]"
future = scary.
January 25, 2006
"Note to self: Don’t ever again try to calculate your net worth on one of those online calculator things. It’s just too, too depressing and scary. How can 2 people with college educations and great jobs and who work CONSTANTLY it seems, have close to a negative net worth? How is that possible? What are we [...]"

"Email correspondence this morning: Dan: Hello, little newman*.

superbowl hangover
February 06, 2006
"I didn’t have a drop of alcohol during the Super Bowl last night, but I still feel like crap today. SO tired, and my throat hurts from all of the screaming. Of course, it paid off because we won. And we all know that the louder I yell, the better our chances of winning… right? [...]"
crossing crap off my list
February 07, 2006
"I have a list on the side of the fridge. Two of them, actually. One is a ’stuff to do’ list, the other is a ‘wish list’ of things to buy. Both lists are related to the house of course. Because ever since we bought the thing, it’s been one project after another! Not that [...]"

client-copia, driving us to mania
February 10, 2006
"This is one of the funniest and saddest things I’ve read in a while. I cannot tell you how many things I could contribute to the site- both from my freelance jobs and the clients I deal with in my day job. It’s frightening! For example, there was this lady, who claimed that she had never [...]"
weekend de loser
February 12, 2006
"We christened this weekend ‘Weekend de Loser’. We had no plans to do anything when we got home from work on Friday- nothing for 2 whole days. We have successfully spent 48 hours in our pajamas (well, except for Dan going to his hockey game tonight, he was forced to change into his skates and [...]"
good things
February 14, 2006
" Valentine’s gift from my husband: a pink Ben Roethlisberger jersey hanging in my closet last night. Owing half of the taxes we thought I would owe from my freelance jobs. Fantastic. Finishing projects. (or at least for now it’s ‘finished’) Snuggling with my kitty before bed last night; feeding him a bit of peanut butter from my snack [...]"
wondering
"Is it bad that I call myself a webdesigner by day, yet I opt for a templated design for my weblog because I’m too lazy/burned out/time-crunched to come up with one on my own? It is pretty.

February 15, 2006
"I’m heading into that phase again. Where I am getting busier and busier and feeling less and less like doing anything. I just want to crawl in bed and do nothing. Which is exactly what I did last night, even though I had a stack of work waiting for me by the computer. ‘PFFT’ I [...]"
registering
"I’m trying something new here on my little blog here: registering. Up until now I just had passwords on the posts I wanted to protect.. but I found a WordPress plugin that allows for user-levels with registering. So, I thought I’d try it out. I’ve debated about whether to do this or not… I hate [...]"
friday forum
February 17, 2006
"Haven’t done one of these in a while… 1. What was the FIRST Valentine you ever received? Who was it from? Oh gosh… I don’t remember. It was probably in kindergarten when we all made boxes and exchanged Valentines with everyone else. That was also the year that a boy named Roy chased me around the room [...]"

"Today our friends came to visit with their kids, and we spent the day out and about with them. Dan (my Dan) and Tyler took their daughter Kylie to see Curious George, and Kristy and I did some shopping with their 1 year old son Craig. We went to Starbucks while we were out, and [...]"
