Has it been 10 years in Texas?

Comment on Has it been 10 years in Texas? thatgirljen May 8, 2026

This is just a dear diary post. I haven’t sat down to write one of these in quite a while. I wonder if Jessica is looking down and smiling while watching me type this out. She always liked my “dear diary” updates. Gosh she’s been gone for a few years […]

Chicago, the Windy City 1923

Comment on Chicago, the Windy City 1923 thatgirljen March 22, 2026

After 23 blissful years together, 19 of which we’ve been (mostly) happily married… it was time to finally take our long awaited honeymoon. Why did it take us so long to do that? Well, I’d say we’re slightly practical. There were other more important things that had to be taken […]

Comment on fledgling thatgirljen February 2, 2026

Comment on Why your New Year’s resolutions always FAIL! thatgirljen January 4, 2026

New Year’s resolutions always FAIL! This is just my personal opinion, and I know what you’re thinking, “That’s a bold statement Jen.” Honestly, I think setting a new year’s resolution is a bit kindergarten. Why does one tend to wait until the top of a new year, (or a new […]
