Regarding Karl Rove’s long term affect on the Republican Party:

“This, by the way, is the fruit of an alleged political genius, turdblossom himself, a shamelessly effective tactician, but one of the worst political strategists in modern times. He has helped kill the Republican brand - and poison it for a generation.”

Anyone who can effectively use the word “turdblossom” in a serious sentence has got my attention.

Learned a good lesson today. Better make sure you love what you do for a living because it could be really easy to spend 30 years doing something for which you are neither suited or appreciated.

Here is Joshie’s cute little baby foot covered in sand:

Here he is enjoying the beach:

Here are all the men in my life:

The next day we went to the Aquarium, here is a really cool jellyfish:

Here are the boys looking at the sharks:

And here is Isaac and his best Matey:

I got this pic on the beach in Carmel. I know you can’t really see his face, but I know him well enough to know what he was thinking as his feet pushed into the sand.

Just wanted to give a shout out to my french “homies” viewing this site. According to my site stat’s, 12% of my viewers are from the lovely, if just a bit snobby, country of France. How crazy is that?

In light of my foreign vistors, I thought I would take a break from regularly scheduled programming to dazzle you with my worldly knowledge.

Just in case you didn’t know, dear french visitor…I took 5 years of French. Could that be why you’ve been drawn to this site? Just knowing, deep inside we have something in common?

Well here we go:

J’mapple Jenn! Ca va bein, et tou? Je parlez vous francais un petit pou.

Other sayings I know:

A quelle heure et til? (what time is it?)

Passez-vous le pommes frites. (pass the french fries)

Bon Anniversaire et toi! (happy birthday to you!)

 Bon chance! (good luck!)

Enchantez-vous!(nice to meet you!)

Bon jour mon amies francais!

I haven’t been writing much lately. It isn’t for lack of material, just the time to put pen to paper…or the computer I should say.

We went to Monterey this weekend and did a little sightseeing. It was wonderful to think about living there sometime soon. I felt like even though we were at the Wharf, the beach and the Aquarium like every other tourist, we weren’t tourists. We were locals just looking like tourists. We had a great time and I took a lot of  pictures. When I have more time I will download them. Tonight I am lazily sitting in bed, sore from my run and exhausted from a severe lack of sleep.

Which brings me to my next topic. I am not sure what size tooth Joshua is about to birth from his little swollen gums but I think it has some serious girth. He is drooling buckets, he won’t stop crying and baby orajel is the only thing that helps. He has never had this much trouble with teething. Needles to say, he hasn’t been sleeping because of the pain…ergo, I am exhausted.

On another note, I got picked in the lottery for the SF Nike Women’s Marathon! I am only running the Half, mostly because I am a chicken but I am nonetheless very excited to participate in this race. In preparation for this event I got a new watch that my sister informed me was “lesbian-ish” as it is of a digital nature. Either way, it helps me time my miles and do intervals. I am running a 10 minute mile right now but I want to get it down to a 9 minute mile before the race. I need some new shoes as mine actually have holes in the inside on the heel. However, we are in major money saving mode right now so they will have to wait

As far as all the excitement with the move….well, no offers on the house yet which is okay. I realized that I am not in a hurry, even though it won’t be fun to have Kevin gone three nights a week for a couple of months. We really can make it a few months with him commuting and it will help save some money in the meantime. So, if the house doesn’t sell until July or August, the sky will not fall upon my head. However, check back for updates on this as I am sure my opinion will change 73 times between now and May 19th (his start date). Good thing I have meds.

All right, you now know what I know. Well, not really everything that I know because I know everything. 

The house is officially listed for sale and there are pictures of it online. I am feeling very weird about people being able to check out my house from the privacy of their pc’s. However, I understand that this big thing they call the “internets” is very important to the home sale business so, c’est la vie.

As we start out on this adventure, I will say that I am both excited and extremely apprehensive. I trust that God will show up here and do something that will prove to me -  once again- that my view of the world is skewed and I don’t have the full picture. Only He knows what all will unfold and I am just along for the ride. That is not to say that I am not responsible to put one foot in front of the other each day…

So, join me, if you like, in seeing what unfolds with yet another justanotherjenn saga. Will the house sell? Will they actually move? Will it be to a dump in Marina? Will they buy another dog? (j/k) Will Jenn continue to turn gray at a rapid speed? Does hair color eventually stop working?

All this and more…..stay tuned.

Our house is officially on the market and I am spent. Seriously I am exhausted from all the work of getting our house ready to sell. I am so nervous about finding a buyer and getting the price we need, I could completely freak out at any moment.

Sounds exciting huh? I really am excited about moving and what a great opportunity it is for Kevin and our family. However, the details of this thing may just swallow me whole before I get to enjoy any of the adventure….

I haven’t written anything in forever. Life has been crazy. Long story short…we are selling our house (God willing) and moving to Monterey!

Seriously Kevin got a great job in Monterey and we are going to make the move as soon as our house sells. It goes on the market next week. I hope that we get things all worked out because I am so very excited about moving back to my old stomping grounds!

Much, much more to come. I thought, however, I would just fill you all in on the “haps” in T-town.

Peace.
