What Would Jen Do

Archive for January, 2008

after trying to refinance my car for three weeks, I gave up and called the whole thing off.   As far as I’m concerned, banks should throw money at me when I ask for it.  The whole process was entirely too complicated.  they asked for the same things three and four times and misplaced information and were just general pains in my ass.   When they were a credit union this was never an issue.   I could call them and say, ‘how about a loan for a car?’ and in 5 min they’d say ok and be faxing over paperwork.

Kim is moving into her very first big girl apartment this weekend.  And I’m very excited to pretty much take over and tell her how to unpack things and where to put them.  Fortunately for the both of us, i like to tell her what to do and she likes being told.  hahahah.    If you see her anytime soon, congratulate her on this really big step.

I think my boyfriend is home………………………….

My bank has a promotion that any purchase made with your debit card where you DON’T use your PIN number (hitting credit) is eligible for a ‘picks up the tab’ win. Of course my most favorite stores don’t let you use your debit card without using your pin, I tried that. But the gas station does and I won and got my money back on a tank of gas! HOORAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I’m refinancing my car and I have never had this much trouble getting a loan in my entire life. It’s always something with these people. The next thing that goes wrong, I’m telling them to forget it because it’s becoming way too much trouble. I thought it would make things easier and cheaper, but now I don’t care too much.

The back of my hair looks stupid. I can’t blow dry the back of my hair properly on my own. I just should have kept with my boyfriend cutting it for me. My hair is naturally fantastic, i should stop trying to make it better. I keep thinking that THIS time is the time someone does something to it and it makes me want to die with happiness. At least this time I’m not afraid to leave the house. This whole trying to improve my looks thing I had going on this year is not working out so well.  So I’ll go a different route and join a gym and then sit around in the sauna and drink juice instead of working out.    It took me almost 3 years but i think i’m bored with the same old workout routine and it’s not working for me anymore anyway.  I just need a change in scenery.  On with the new.

Yesterday I decided to play Rock Band so that I wouldn’t look retarded and get boo’d off the stage again in front of all my friends.   And then before I realized it, I’d been playing for like 4 hours and totally wasted my entire day off.    And I’m not much better than when I started.

I laughed so hard.   (that’s a link)

 The other night my boyfriend punched me in the face on purpose.   Just hauled off and hit me in the nose.   I know, I couldn’t believe it either.   

I  tend to exaggerate a lot.   

I actually was hit in the nose and it made that squishy crunchy sound, just like on the teevee.    But it didn’t hurt because i’m one tough broad who knows how to take a hit to the face.   It was also an accident, so don’t go calling the domestic abuse hotline to tell them about ‘your friend who needs help’.    He was asleep, and let’s face it, i probably deserved it. 

I used the pasta maker again, this time to make whole wheat spaghetti.  my spaghetti making skills need some improvement, the thin noodles are much harder to work with after they’re cut.   i’m definitely going to try making some ravioli soon.   I’m imaging that not going well at all.    Last night i made frozen ravioli and Icey looked at it like “frlz?”  because store bought pasta is so 2007. 

Also  this calming air wick decosphere thing i got for my desk is not so calming, it smells like candy which just hypes me up.  

I find it exciting that George Romero’s next Zombie movie (that’s a link)opens on my 6 year anniversary with Icey. I just hope it opens in AZ that day and isn’t some limited release.

We have Rock Band (also a link) at our house now, if you come over I fully understand if you want to play that instead of talking to me. Icey has spent a lot of time opening up new songs for you to sing and play along with. The drum kit is a little faulty, so they are sending us a new one this week. Who wants to sing? Because i don’t. But someone needs to test out the singing part.

I want a cat or kitten SO BAD right now. Does anyone have a cat they want to let me hug and cuddle so that I can see just HOW allergic I am to cats anymore?

I’m patiently waiting to find a nintendo DS. They are sold out everywhere we go and I need one so that i can play brain age and done get smarter, because my brain is getting lazy in my old age.

Icey was out of town on business M-W of this week.  I’d prepared myself mentally for it, for a few months, seeing as how we’ve never been truly separated.  And then he left and it was pretty much like, mmmkay see you later.  no big thing.    Proving everyone’s point that two days  really is nothing.  If it were a week, I might think differently.   It’s a good thing he’s back tho.  He has a very important job around the house called, ‘turning off the TV at night when he goes to bed’, since i fall asleep with the TV on.  Now I don’t have to wake up at3am and turn it off myself.  Thank God.  

Every presidential candidate quiz I takes tells me to vote for Hillary Clinton with Obama coming in second.  The one I like the most is THIS quiz.  At the end it tells you what you agree and disagree with the candidates on.  Plus it’s a lot easier to understand the questions, for those of us who are political morons.   When people said they were going to move out of the country if Bush was elected again, I now understand what they meant.  I’m going to move out if Huckabee takes office.  

my dog is ginormous, look at how small he makes the toilet look

ROAR!!!!!!
