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.

C’mon… it’s free and it will help people

The Breast Cancer Site is donating an ultrasound machine to a hospital in South Africa if they can fund more than 500 mammograms this month.Â? Click here to help.Â? It doesn’t cost you a penny, put you on any mailing lists, and it will help women half a world away to receive the basic medical care that we take for granted here in the USA.

Emptying the Brain

[+] Hyde Park Baptist Church: you guys suck! I can assure you that the Muslims would have been a heck of a lot more hospitable than you if it was their worship space in question.

[+] We’re not going to mention this weekend in college football other than to say that the teams with blue and gold colors did not do well. (And message to Dawn and Greta: there’s more than one team out there with those colors that I root for.)

[+] Person who made my day: Kym! I got the copy of ODB. Thank you soooooooo much!!!!

[+] Great Falls has 4-6 inches of snow. The Hi-Line has…. NONE!!!! Mother Nature really doesn’t want me to burn my trash, does she?

[+] To the morons on US-2: there is a simple rule regarding your high beams which involves TURNING THE BLOODY THINGS OFF IF YOU ARE APPROACHING SOMEONE OR BEHIND SOMEONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Â? Why is this rule so hard to follow???

Randomness Without Comments

[=] The Buckeyes went down in FLAMES this past weekend.Â? I could not be happier. 😛 (Yes, I know that Michigan lost to Wisconsin.Â? The point is… OHIO STATE LOST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

[=] I am infinitely glad that Amy finally got kicked off of “The Biggest Loser”.Â? That girl was nasty — backstabbed pretty much everyone and then whined about being backstabbed when Isabeau voted her off.Â? I mean, she got Lezlye voted off even though she told her about forming an alliance to keep her, she turned her back on her team, she spited her trainer, and she was just unpleasant.Â? I don’t think I’ve disliked a player so much since Lisa in season 1.

[=] Edda has started sleeping on my laptop bag.Â? I can’t seem to explain to her that she’s not that kind of laptop.Â? The little love also comes and snuggles me in the morning before I have to get up for work.

Heart Strings

There’s something spiritual tugging at my heart strings.Â? Please pray for me in the next few days that I can be open and listen as to what it might be.Â? I’ll post on it once I can vocalize it.

Good Things

I need to remind myself of these things.

[=] Judging awesome kids at the speech meet yesterday and finding out that one of my policy debate kids was actually our communion assistant at Synod Assembly.

[=] Singing awesome music this morning at the Lutheran church in Shelby. (Thank you Carolyn for inviting me to sing.)

[=] Hanging out with one of my church kids and talking to her for an hour after the nursing home service.

[=] Accidentally walking out of the house in my We Will Not Be Silent shirt for choir practice and nobody saying a word.
