About Jen

Jen isn't quite sure when she lost her mind, but it is probably documented here on Meditatio. She blogs because the world needs her snark at all hours of the night... and she probably can't sleep anyway.

No Longer Trustworthy

I’ve been a little busy in the last week.

[+] My mother-in-law had a party for my 30th birthday a couple days early… and my parents surprised me by showing up. (Apparently, I was the only one who didn’t know they were going to be there.) It was a great surprise — it’s been a hard month thus far and I needed a few hours of mom time.

[+] I turned 30 on the 19th. Yes, I am no longer trustworthy.

[+] I have a potential job interview on Monday. (No word from the interviews two weeks ago.) Pray hard.

Seriously Standing in the Need of Prayer

OK… some ways to pray for us right now.

[+] Jobs for Jon and I.? We need the income desperately.

[+] Internet for 24 hours so I can do Blogathon in July.? We don’t have wi-fi at the Snuggery and I need to find a place where I can have Internet consistently from 6 a.m. on the 31st to 6 a.m. on the 1st for Blogathon.

[+] For relief from the severe gastritis and spastic colon that all the stress is causing.

[+] For my father-in-law as he’s dealing with his health challenges.

Recent Reads

As we have no Internet or TV at the Snuggery, I have been taking full advantage of the LA County Library System and catching up on my “to-read” list. So far, I’ve discovered:

[+] The Miss Julia books by Ann B. Ross
[+] Leslie Meier’s books about Lucy Stone and solving crimes in a small town in Maine (light and fluffy)
[+] Louise Penny’s mysteries about Canada (very spooky in tone)
[+] the latest Joanne Fluke books, the latest Joanna Carl books, and the latest in some other series I read

It has been a good thing and it’s keeping me relatively sane.? My only problem: I read really quickly and I’m having to find new series to keep myself occupied.

It’s also a cheap form of entertainment — I’ve saved hundreds of dollars in book purchases as well as storage space that I don’t have at the moment.

Any suggestions for new reads?
