Music and Magic - Words Optional

By JenH on Aug 3, 2011

For someone who is in love with words, I find myself drawn to music with none. Soundtracks with titles but no lyrics, classical pieces that remind me of music classes in college, an instrumental version of a Christmas song. Sometimes life doesn't need...

Everything is Better When I'm Upside Down

By JenH on Jul 30, 2011

I am addicted to pictures of Pit Bulls. I stare at pictures of Fred and Angel and wish I could convince everyone I know to adopt a Pit. That is a difficult task when one considers the shocking amount of incorrect information available. It makes me want...

The Pit Bull Gym

By JenH on Jul 20, 2011

Last night, my fantastic husband gave me the most wonderful gift. It wasn't jewelry, a handbag or something I could physically hold in my hand. He let me go to the basement all by myself so I could walk/jog on the treadmill and use my weights. It took...

"You're a Writer...Shouldn't This be Easy for You?"

By JenH on Jul 18, 2011

Have you ever asked yourself that very question? Or had someone ask it of you? (Ouch.) Sometimes one assumes that a writer can simply come up with anything, and many times that is the case. For me, it has always depended on the task at hand. For example...

No Soup for Me!

By JenH on Jul 14, 2011

I think I need a Soup Nazi in my life, cutting me off from soup. No soup for me, one year! Soup is one of my favorite foods, but since my motto is "the creamier the better," it is rarely healthy. After our trip to the beach, I am desperately trying ...

What's All the Hubbub, Bub?

By JenH on Jul 11, 2011

When it comes to drama, I usually watch from the sidelines. But in "The Case of the Mysterious Homepage," I just can't stay silent. (Hey, that could be the first title in a little mini-mystery series. Hmmm...) I have been blogging on GoodBlogs since...

Move Over Bridezillas ~ Amsale Girls Takes the Cake

By JenH on Jul 8, 2011

It's no secret I'm obsessed with all-things-wedding-related. Sometimes I wonder if I could sell gowns again, and then I remember the current economy and shake my head back to reality. But that doesn't mean I can't indulge this craving of mine. I do ...

Weird Remedies for Real Ailments

By JenH on Jul 1, 2011

When I was a little girl, I got stung by a bee. I watched with tears and fascination as my grandfather made a mud-pie-bandage and applied it to my sting. I didn't know how on earth a pile of mud was going to make me feel better, but it did. Twenty-something...

The Grateful Fred

By JenH on Jun 29, 2011

Yesterday, something amazing happened. My husband and I took Fred and Angel to the shelter where we found them, where Alex also volunteers. We were there at the request of an employee who was dying to see Fred. The last time she had seen him, his coat...

Life Lessons and Laptop Chargers

By JenH on Jun 21, 2011

We had been at the beach house for ten minutes. Our vacation had come at last, and I started unpacking and organizing. I was going through everything in my head, convinced I had forgotten something. Well, I had already forgotten a few things. Most importantly...
