Month: September 2008

  • political posts rawk.

    i’ve really enjoyed discussing politics lately.

    on my “why obama” post, for example, i’ve received a lot of well thought out comments from all walks of political thinking. it’s just one more way of educating myself, and others.

    i’d like to take a moment to thank the thought-provoking members of the republican, democratic, libertarian, independent, green, socialist (and other) parties that have left their mark in my blog.


    “Dearest Jen- I applaud you for making an informed decision on your vote. I fully support your decision to vote on the platform that supports your daily belief. Hooray for you for being able to say *WHY* you’re voting for this man. I love your blog, but you already know I disagree with you on politics.

    “great post on obama =] you better be voting in the election.”

    “Thank you for being honest with your opinion, as well as being respectful!”

    “Thank you for standing up for what you believe. We need more people like you in this world, willing to think for themselves and stand up to bullies.”


    seriously. i am very fortunate to have such intelligent people igniting my brain and helping me think outside of my party.

    i’d also like to thank those who left these (and other) stellar comments — it reminds me why i don’t wax political more often.

    “You are so screwed up … How dare you hold your head up high in public and call yourself an American … Under different circumstances it would be amusing to watch all you ppl change your tunes. But it wont be. It will be the saddest thing ever witnessed. And you will be helpless. And the fact that you are proud to be acquainted, associated and related to gays and lesbians just proves my point. You are screwed up. Go drink a bottle of Tabasco sauce through your nose. Or hang yourself. Anything.”


    Get a life lady YOU LIBERALS ARE SOOO IGNORANT! You left wing people, you change views or ideas when its convienient for you to look good … you liberals are impossible. Hugh Hewitt was right…liberalism is a mental disorder…i’m not going to argue with your idiotic ideas…”


    *chuckles*

    someone better pass me the tabasco, quick … i’ve got to try this. oh, and can any of my LGBT friends drive me to the mental ward? apparently i need help.

    **yeah, so the post started out genuine enough, but the sarcasm broke out at the end. my bad.

  • paul begala on the colbert report.

    “… i’m a democrat, i wouldn’t know. see, we make love, not war. my republican friends can’t do either, if you look at their track record.” — begala

    “are you claiming the republicans don’t know how to screw anybody?” — colbert

    i don’t care what your party affiliation is, this interview was solid gold funny.

  • shenanigans. (omglolz.)

  • i have a date with big tex …

    isn’t he creepy?!

    no matter, husband and i are going to the state fair of texas this saturday!!

    i’m just excited to get out of the house, and see him (husband, not big tex) on a weekend for once … plus, i may even splurge and try the chicken-fried bacon (this year’s delicacy).

    mmm …

  • i just got back from the doctor’s office …

    well, month one of operation: weight loss is complete.

    how’d i do?


    i lost 11.5 pounds!

    my blood pressure is a bit elevated today (gee, i wonder why?!), but overall, i’m doing really well. i’m still in shock about the number … that’s almost three pounds a week!

    (when i weighed in at home this morning, it was two pounds LOWER than the number i just got, but whatever.)

    now for the hard part: month two.



    i can totally do this.


  • palin/couric skit on snl.

    just in case you missed it …

    *giggle*



    and here’s part of the interview the skit was based on …

  • i need *points finger* YOU! (protected post up.)

    i could really use your opinion.

    don’t worry, it’s nothing serious … take a look at the protected post, and let me know what you think!!

    can’t see it? hit me up and i’ll add you to the list!

  • sweat pants and stilettos: annoying thing #452.

    women that wear work-out attire and DON’T WORK OUT in it.

    they pile on their make-up and go for a day of shopping or other gallivanting. not once do they break into a sweat, take a quick jog, or even step onto a piece of machinery that their clothing is suited for.

    they throw on their best jewels over their fake-baked skin and walk around overpriced stores for hours — just to prove they can be “simple” or “down to earth”, too.

    ladies: if you’re gonna wear work out clothing, PUT IT TO USE!

    seriously, get the personal trainer come to your house and a private chef make all your low-everything meals — you know you can afford it.

    can’t be bothered with all that “sweating” mess? i think i hear a chanel dress calling your name … just step away from the sweat pants!

    remember: just because you’re spoiled doesn’t mean you can’t keep it real.

    (i’m tired of seeing the gucci sunglasses, chanel necklace and stilettos paired with freaking sweat pants! stupid MILF/cougar-types …)

  • wanna know a secret?

    while in high school (and freshman year of college) …

     i was the wendy’s girl.

    and in my spare time, i was assistant manager, too. at 17.



    these two things balance out, right?
