cleaning off the dust

February 25, 2006

"After months of complete and utter neglect, I redesigned my photolog at Muted (yeah, remember that site? heh) and also added a few recent shots. I haven’t been taking many pictures lately, other than family/house stuff, so there’s slim pickins for posting there at the moment. But I’m hoping once the weather warms up and [...]"

baby steps (pun intended)

February 24, 2006

"So I got a prescription from my gynecologist today. For prenatal vitamins. Woo! Big step! Wholly crap. I’m not planning on taking them until at least April, since I don’t plan on even THINKING about getting myself knocked up until our trip to Italy (May)… but I am now armed and ready. Eeek! In other news, Black Pepper [...]"

25 Signs You Have Grown Up

February 23, 2006

"From my inbox… This is so so sad and true. I can relate to like ALL OF THEM. 1. Your houseplants are alive, and you can’t smoke any of them. 2. Having sex in a twin bed is out of the question. 3. You keep more food than beer in the fridge. 4. 6:00 AM is when you get [...]"

selfish

February 20, 2006

"I’ve been called lots of things… but this weekend I was called ’selfish’. I’m 26. I work 2 jobs and my husband works one (he used to have an additional as well, it was called ‘graduate school’). We have a nice house, nicer than either of our parents’ houses when they were our age… and heck, [...]"

high on life

February 18, 2006

"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 [...]"

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 [...]"

registering

February 15, 2006

"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 [...]"

blah-de-blah-blah

"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 [...]"

wondering

February 14, 2006

"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. More posts like this: year in review December 28, 2005 hi, nice to meet you November 15, 2006 relive and relearn August 11, [...]"

good things

" 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 [...]"

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 [...]"

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 [...]"

why do I take this abuse?

February 09, 2006

"Email correspondence: Jen: hey, I’m number 8 on Yahoo for ‘freelance website design pittsburgh, pa’ http://search.yahoo.com/search?ei=utf-8&fr=slv1-&p=freelance%20website %20design%20pittsburgh%2c%20pa woohoo!

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 [...]"

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? [...]"

getting pumped

February 05, 2006

"Here we go Steelers, Here we go….. We’ve been listening to Steeler songs pretty much since we woke up this morning. We are SO READY.

"heh. Today is review day at work. I was 45 minutes late. On review day. This is gonna be fantastic.

"Email correspondence this morning: Dan: Hello, little newman*. It is almost Friday… Then it will almost be Saturday… Jen: …then it will almost the day the Steelers win the SuperBowl! *(yeah, Dan calls me ‘Newman’… like Newman on Seinfeld. He says I’m his nemesis.) More posts like this: the fact that I was able to guess is scary [...]"
