Rain

The rain came on
Like weirdness
River waves on asphalt
Paves the way for
Cloudy days and wind

No Words

March 4th 7:15am


This morning walking Dot was like camping for 20 seconds… it was so nice, I wanted to stay down there... Words can't describe that morning. But we try anyway...


Morning coffee, peaceful quiet
Coffee steam, sneaks to the sky
Cold air, bright sun, blue sky, white cloud
Slight warm shine,
bright to break the night
Brings the day
Dew on grass
Birds in trees
Crisp, no breeze
Quiet hum
Could be a river

It's the freeway

Anniversary wknd in the snow

Right now Steve and I are celebrating 14 years of marriage together- through thick and thin we praise God for keeping us strong, guiding us along, and giving us grace to share.

Here's my "daily places" micro-blog:

Sittin' in the mess hall @ Jenness Park, using the single bar dial-up wi-fi. Thinkin' 'bout a hot cocoa. Lookin' out the windows @ the snow.

Taking the train

Soooo... when you carpool from work to Sunnyvale for dinner and Campbell for dessert, you are very tired at the end of the night and you forget to pick up your car in Palo Alto before you head home to San Mateo. Then, when you are looking for your car in the morning you are lucky that you remember where your car is before your husband leaves for work so he can drop you off in Hillsdale to catch the bullet to University Ave!


Ok so maybe you aren't, but I am :)

Testing out the old uploaded

Testing, testing, blog 23. This is a mini-micro blog to see if this
works. Steve and I had fun today shopping at Hillsdale and having CPK
for dinner. Dot is munching on a candy cane rawhide that is sweet
potato flavored. Steve just started his first blog.I'm so proud.

Blogging While Sick...

Well, the last post here was done while I was sick, so I see no reason not to do it again. I've had a cold/flu for about a week now. It's been mostly a fever with uncontrollable coughing Saturday, Sunday and today since I toughed it through the throat and nose stuff at work last week.

As I was walking Dot, who refuses to use the toilet for some reason, I paused momentarily. Bundled in hat and scarf on the sidewalk, breathing in the fresh cool breeze between wheezes, I saw a jogger through the trees in the park. Heard people in their apartments vacuuming. Smelled warm homey aromas of dinner stewing.

The days pass
if I don't write
you won't know
that I was thinking

I'm in a rut. People ask "what's new?" And I say "nothing, just working and sleeping." And it's pretty much true. There's not much new going on. One tiny thing that's different is that I'm working in a different department at AAA. I am now officially an insurance adviser. I help you manage your auto/home/flood/earthquake and personal umbrella insurance. It's very exciting, and if you know me, you know I love to learn new things.

Right now I'm watching a show about Free Masons on the History Channel. I'm also currently reading a novel called The Templar Legacy. Very interesting. There's so much stuff out there to know, it's mind boggling. I want to know about science and history and I want to create art and music. I want to grow vegetables and cook delicious cuisine. There's computers and philosophy and I want to do it all. My mind gets boggled and I stick to the two year plan of getting out of debt. Work and sleep, work and sleep. Nothing new, not yet.

Sick as a Pig-Faced Dog - a true Jen blog (random)

Sorry, Facebook readers, I accidentally published this post by hitting the Enter button before I had even typed anything... So a note is going to post with this picture and the title "Sick as a Pig-" (kinda funny). This is us setting up our new tent on the lawn at our apt. complex. We are super excited! :D

Anyway, I have a cold. I got it from Steve. He's spent a few days at home and now I am hoping I am better by tomorrow for work. Work is going pretty well for me at AAA. Although I had a dream last night that I got laid off because I went to get a copy of something and fell asleep and my client in travel (of which I am not an agent) left! We were living back in Linden and it was really weird. But I wasn't worried about it because I *knew* in my dream that it was o.k. - you know how you *know* things in your dreams?

Dreams are cool. I have lots of dreams. Most of the waking ones involve music and nature and travel. Most of the sleeping ones do too but in a more abstract way. Working on a couple songs right now and wondering if I should ever copyright my songs (since they really aren't mine, but God's... and if someone steals them - isn't that a form of flattery?).

Steve is still praying and looking for a position at a church in the youth/young adult area. Currently in the process is Highlands in Paso Robles, CA. Thanks for your prayers if you read this.
