Have You Seen My Ears?

For the past, 3 or 4 Halloweens I have been a cat. It's easy, you wear black, use eyeliner to put on some whiskers...there ya go. Every single year I have to buy new cat ears because I am so lame that somehow I manage to put them in that perfect spot, you know the one, where nothing is ever found. When I find that spot, imagine the gold mine I will hit! Sometimes I seriously annoy myself!

**cat ears last seen Halloween 2007, please call with any information regarding their wearabouts**

The Fort

Everyone asks me when I go and visit Louie what we do. I have no response, because we really do nothing...and it's amazing! Here is the summary of my weekend:

Friday-
- 7ish arrive at the Fort. Louie does not answer the guards phone call, I have to wait outside till he does. Word of wisdom for all of you planning to enter onto a military base, do not get out of your car. They do not like it, and 'politely' yell, "ma'am, get back in your vehicle" scary.
- Consume the greasiest pizza known to man, and watch a movie, fall asleep.

Saturday-
-12:30ish wake up, Louie makes his signature eggs for breakfast, watch a movie
-4:30ish take a 2 hour nap
-7ish go play rock band at one of his friends house

Sunday-
-12:30ish wake up, I make Louie's signature eggs (not well I might add), watch a little football
-3:30ish I hit the road back home

So you see nothing accomplished, yet it's becoming one of my favorite things to do!

How Much Longer?

I have been an emotional mess the past week, and this image (found on 'day in pictures' duh) just pulled at my heart. It's a memorial service for a soldier killed by mortar fire in Afghanistan. It brought a few little/big tears to my eyes.

I only have one question: How much longer is this going to go on?

How Cool Is THIS?!

So every night around 9 or 10 I get online to check my "dailys." These include emails, myspace, facebook, cnn.com, bank accounts (yikes!), and finally my favorite: BBC 'Day in Pictures.' For those of you looking for something new to add to your favorites, add that site! Crazy, cool pictures taken from all over the world for that day. Tonight I came across this one, and I think it is so cool! KICK VOLLEYBALL! Are you kidding me? How come all the other countries have these cool sports? And how in the world can you bend your body to kick the ball over the net? I'm amazed. (By the way this is dedicated to my friend Sarah, who without doubt during a volleyball game will kick the ball and yell out that it's a legal hit! Got to love it!)

The match is between Burma and Thailand (Whit and Bret's two true loves)

iGoogle

I am obsessed! Completely, totally 100% obsessed with iGoogle. For those of you who are missing out on using this version of Google, just click in the top right corner of the classic Google page the words iGoogle. You can customize your home page to have news clips, the weather, add applications like a to do list, places to see, lyric finder, guitar cords, etc. It is amazing. There are also all kinds of tabs you can add, my favorite is the cooking, really good recipes at least once a day. So yes, I am a dork but it helps pass a very boring work day! Try it out...you'll loove it too!

Vote or Die

I have been doing a lot of thinking about this up coming election and have made a few observations which I would like to share with all of you. I heard someone saying the other day that this election will probably be the most important one of our lifetime. Suddenly I switched my thinking from being annoyed and opinionated to being passionate and excited! It is so exciting to hear everyone becoming so vocal about the issues that are the most important to them, even if I personally don't agree. So I say, keep writing, keep talking, and keep thinking about all of the issues facing our country! Change is what we need (no matter who's "change" you agree with)! So as P.Diddy preaches "Vote or Die," I strongly urge you to choose the first and be part of the change you wish to see in the world.

Ok those last few words were stolen from Gandhi but I think they're awesome.

The jen-erator!

Hello friends! So I am joining the many friends of mine who blog about the newest happenings in their lives. Reading random and entertaining blogs have brought so much fun to my evenings, that I thought I would finally return the favor! First off, let me explain the name, "jen-erator" You see many years ago I was sitting at Red Robin with some super cool people and we were talking about Gladiator names. I thought we were trying to come up with our own Gladiator names, so I excitedly said, "The JEN-erator!" I thought I was being super clever and all original because you know I'm Jen and it's a play on words, etc... It turns out no one else was thinking about new names, yet they were trying to recall past Gladiators! Soooo anyway, Lou and I were reminiscing about this memory a few weeks ago, and I thought it would only be appropriate to share it with the thousands of people this blog will reach! :) And plus, I think I'm funny, and now hopefully you do to!!
