Have you watched the movie SEVEN? If so you know the line, “What’s in the box… WHAT’S IN THE BOX?” What an amazing scene. Pitt and Freeman, Freeman and Pitt… brilliant, amazing, believable. They’re top notch actors for real. We tend to reenact that scene every time the AMAZON or […]
Gigantic decision: When to say goodbye to your dog
This is my personal experience of making the decision to say goodbye to my dog, and the decision to call a compassionate pet vet.
Dear Covid, a short message from 2020. Love, thatgirljen
It’s been more than a while since I’ve posted on thatgirljen. When Covid-19 spread across the globe, much of the world stopped in its tracks. Priorities shifted as things changed and life was re-evaluated. With all the influx of conflicting information, it’s been the blind leading the deaf. No one […]
I’ve been updating my wardrobe!
During 2020, I realized that I (like most) rarely wear the majority of the stuff hanging in my closet. Throughout 2020 I’ve been making room in my closet. I really haven’t had the need for new clothes, I haven’t been going anywhere lately. HAHAHA – covid joke! But with extra […]
REAL Reality TV – Educational Victorian Series and Edwardian Farm
Who doesn’t love watching reality TV? Seems like every single channel has some sort of “reality based” show to serve up to the masses, who religiously tune in weekly. I remember some of the first reality TV shows. I loved the first season of the Real World, there was the […]

I actually met Robert Smith of the Cure at LAX!
At first I wasn’t going to post about it, but then I thought, “Jen, this was KINDA a really big little moment in your life.” If you know me, you know these 2 things: First: I believe that all the wrong turns led me to the right place, and second, […]
WWE Summer Slam the Fiend – Fire Fly Fun House – this is my confession.
Fiend or friend, maybe both. I grew up NOT watching WWE Wrestling… and I HAVE BEEN MISSING OUT! Now, let me tell you, I grew up in St. Petersburg, Fl and lived in the Tampa Bay Area for nearly 40 years. I had numerous “sightings” of wrestlers, heck, I even […]
Good financial advice – The Benefits of renting a house.
Say it with me, “Renting is not your forever home.” When we moved to Austin Texas just over three years ago, we knew we weren’t going to buy a house. We had just read the Dave Ramsey book, Total Money Makeover, and we were looking to budget our money, manage […]
