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.

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?

A Fun Idea

I saw on Fizleglitz yesterday that Lauren got a Postcrossing postcard from Poland. It looked like a cool idea so I signed up, got five addresses, and sent out postcards to Belarus, Canada, Russia, Taiwan, and Norway. I am really looking forward to seeing the places from which my postcards arrive.
