...life dished out other plans. ;-) And it didn't include dinner in any way, shape or form.
So my kitten really loves to watch the parakeet. In fact, she drools all over him, constantly. Tonight I come from work, all ready to surprise my hubby with a real dinner (for a change), and as I'm pondering the situation, I hear a loud crash coming from the den. Horrified, I stare at the bird cage on the ground, all the s**@@ included with it, and the bird attempting to escape it's hungry predator. (Come on Lixy, it's not like I don't feed you or anything!) Meanwhile I can't stop either one of them, and who knows what kinds of words are coming out of my mouth (Please don't tell anyone, Darin! ) Bird is freaking out all over the living room, can't catch him. Can't stop the cat. I trip and fall, and hurt my leg (clutz!!) Got something in my hand, can't remember what it was. I hollar for Darin to come upstairs and catch the darn thing. I'm simply a mess, and to make matters worse, I start to cry. (um, baby!)
Um, why am I writing about this? Not exactly sure. ;-) Just an interesting Sylvester and Tweety moment in my life to remember that I'm sure I'll laugh about later. (Did Sylvester EVER really get to catch Tweety??? I'm not sure.) I feel so horrible for my husband. Instead of coming home to a loving wife with an amazing dinner, he comes home to this freak-a-zoid with messy hair, a sore leg, crying, no dinner, and bird crap all over her. Freezer is broken, and wife can't even fix the ice machine by herself. Hubby shakes his head, asks if wife wants Subway for dinner. Why the heck not? Wife isn't a very good cook anyway. ;-) And even if she were, she doesn't feel like cooking now.
Poor Bob. Husband may think I'm a freak...and hubby just may be right!
Well, thankfully for me, Hubby is kinda a freak too. ;-) In a good, handsome way of course. Here are twenty five random things he wrote about his life on facebook yesterday. He is too darn cute sometimes for his own good, I just had to share:
1. I hate television...and watch it all the time.
2. I like to paint pewter fantasy figurines.
3. My journal is not first person linear, but rather I write scenes from my life...a creative non-fiction extravaganza.
4. I speak fluent Spanish (thanks to 2 years in the Dominican Republic.)
5. I have been living with and treating Multiple Sclerosis since 1998.
6. I listen to classical music in the car to keep me from exploding with road rage.
7. I am happily married to my Jen...the smartest think I have ever done in my life.
8. After 20 years...I am still in school. My current degree program is towards my teaching certificate. I want to teach the fourth grade.
9. I have worked for the past 10 years for AT&T as a circuit design engineer and a circuit tester.
10. I was on the top of the World Trade Center in November of 2000. I didn't know it could be my last time.
11. I love swimming in Waimea Bay.
12. I love sushi, but will only eat it on a coast. How fresh can the raw fish be in landlocked Colorado?
13. I write the word "love" a lot in lists like these.
14. I have a cat named Lixie (actually it's Galaxy) and a beagle named Bella (actuallly its Belatrix.) We had to put our siamese to sleep...her name was Luna. If you can't tell, we name our animals after celestial objects.
15. I like to watch Days of Our Lives because of Josepsh Mascolo. When I saw him playing Stefano DiMera, I knew that they had a real "bad guy" in the line up.
16. My favorite movie, after all these years, is still So I Married an Axe Murderer.
17. I have played every Final Fantasy game that has come out.
18. I have two blue parakeets...does anyone want a bird?
19. I refer to myself as a Judeo-Christian Buddhist, because I think that is good Mormon is all of these things.
20. I sold my dad's home in a weekend last year. I was surprised it didn't stay on the market all summer long.
21. I have decided that I don't like the food so much in Montreal. I expected better.
22. I married a mathematician who has evolved into a writer.
23. Since my father died in 2007 my hair has gone from dark with distinguished silver temples to white with streaks of pepper. Fortuneately Loreal makes my natural color...and every six weeks I apply it. Vanity, thy name is Bob.
24. I am in the worst shape of my life. My aerobic workouts are marred by the fact that MS has weakend my left leg. I tire quickly, and just have a hard time working out. Still, every day, I ride the recumbant bike and workout with light weights and a body ball. 25. My favorite college team is Michigan. Not because I went there. No, but I would if I could drop it all right now and go back to school full time. I have been a Wolverine fan since I was 10. Something about the maize and blue caught my attention. GO BLUE!
(Why didn't he put number 7 first?? kidding...) The way I'm feeling now, I will second number 18 for him!!! Hope everyone's dinner plans go better than mine...

Burrrrrrrr....it's COLD!
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow~ And I'm back to work!! ;-)
Bummer...
My heart is full on this Tuesday afternoon. I've come back to work after a very long and glorious weekend of being home where I belong, cuddled in my cozy room with my laptop, completing the final draft of my novel. I can't believe I'm almost finished. I was so happy, I thought I'd died and went to heaven. Then I woke up this morning and realized that it wasn't my reality, and I needed to go back to work.
Bummer...
But life goes on, and money must be made. ;-) It's been FREEEZING cold here in Denver, and I'm really hating it. I've never looked so forward to Spring as I am this time around! (I'm such a wimp, I hate driving in the snow, even in my four-wheel drive "Buddy", as I've named my fore-runner). Anyway, I got a new calling at church on Sunday, a calling that I never knew even existed. I'm the new primary baptismal coordinator for the eight years old that will be baptized this year. I'll get to help plan their program, fill the font and such things as that. Pretty darn cool eh? Not particularly demanding, but so much more relaxing than being in the nursery each week, I must say. I'm also thinking alot about my friends - two of my special friends in particular who got pregnant not too long ago, (who both had their last baby on the exact same day, by the way) and they have both miscarried recently. Bless their hearts. My heart and prayers are with them at this time. As much as I've longed for a child of my own, I'd rather remain childless and lonely than suffer the pain and anguish that both of them have gone through and have been feeling recently. I feel so helpless, wishing I could do something to take away their pain. All I can do is send hugs and kisses their way, and pray... but it's never enough.
Bummer...
Life is too crazy sometimes, isn't it??
Well, not much more to report on this week. I've been spending lots of time on facebook, reconnecting with old friends and being able to see what's going on in everyone's life. It's an addicting sight, and I love it!! Email has never been so easy ;-) Last night Bob and I took the boys over to their mom and Grandmother's house and we had a family home evening dinner. This will be our new tradition this year - once a month gathering for dinner. It's a tradition we should have began months ago. It's a special time to bond, eat and discuss the gospel and our lives with one another. It was a grand, yummy time and I will look forward to all our dinners in the future. ;-)
With thoughts of food, I will end this entry in order to eat my lunch... Happy Happy Joy Joy!!

The New President Says...
HOWZIT!!! ;-) I thought this picture of our new President was pretty cute. Yesterday was the innaugaration day (I don't think I spelled that right LOL~). It will be interesting to see what change will take place in our country now. Whatever the case, he is my new president and as a devoted and proud citizen of the United States of America, I will sustain and support him in this new role. History in the making? Only time will tell.
Congrats Obama!! ;-) Whaz' up, braddah! Aloha and welcome to the presidency.

Just another manic Monday... ;-)
But Happy Martin Luther King Jr. Day!! ;-) This is always a special day.
Unfortunately, no holiday can be taken today for me. No "marade" for me to attend. Too much work to do here, grrrrr! Nawww, that's okay, I love doing my internet work - when they leave me alone and let me DO my work, that is. Today we had a long, dragged out meeting informing my National group that, pretty much, we are going to be "babysat" for the next gazillion years of our careers here. Not only are we going to have a group "huddle" each and every day, they are going to start tracking EVERYTHING each and every thing we do, including time away from our desks. Twice each day the managers will "drop by" to see how we are doing, at a specific set time. Moan and groan, and gag me!! One of the gals actually rose her hand and said, "What if we have to go to the bathroom?"
Ummm, duh!! ;-) I can't help but laugh at all this. It's going to take more time to track all these things than it would to get our ACTUAL work done.
What are we, FIVE????
Oh well. It cracked me up - hence, this documentation of events for my day. However, the sun is shining outside, I'm earning money, and I still love my job. I can sit at my desk and listen to all my cassette tapes and CD's. I can play on the internet at work, and keep up with all the fun I have on facebook. I have good health, and fun, cute friends around me. Therefore, life is good. ;-) No complaining allowed.
Bob and I bought a new toy over the weekend (as if the TV wasn't enough) but this was a purchase we couldn't resist, and it was nicely priced. We have a new recumbant bike that now sits nicely in the corner of our living room so that we can get our exercise and keep up our health WHILE we watch TV. That's a new rule in the JenBob home - if we can sit on our "tooshies" to watch an hour or more of TV, then we can take turns getting on the bike and saving our lives. Catch my drift?? Yeah, I'm really happy about that. I've lost 31 pounds and I'd like to maintain it, possibly loose more. What more need I say?? ;-)
I'm a happy, happy, joy, joy girl! This year is starting out so well. For the past few months or so, I'd been kinda down, feeling sorry for myself, wondering where my life is going. My head has finally pulled out of those clouds of self-pity, and the future looks brighter. So bright, I gotta wear shades!! Just thought I'd share...
Well, back the ole' grindstone. It's raining men!! Hallelujah!! (Sorry, that song is playing, and I love it LOL~) Till next entry then~

Happy Birthday, Ally...
...and what a happy birthday party it was, indeed. My niece Ally is already six years old. (I can't believe how quickly the years roll by.) My sister Heidi held a groovy party for her and all her buddies at their home in Parker. Ally was so happy - she got her ears pierced the night before, and she was so proud to show off her new earrings. Here is a picture of Ally blowing out her sparkling candles. Isn't she a cutie? I'm impressed with the beautiful young lady Ally is turning out to be. It was such a blast to watch her and her friends! The kids broke a pinata outside, had cake and ice cream, and danced around in the living room to Ghostbusters. What a riot! Heidi is such a wonderful mother - I hope if I ever have children in this lifetime, that I can be the kind of mother she is. ;-) I took a picture of her surrounded with the kids - she is very good at teaching her kids to send thank you cards to those who bring gifts. I admire her so much. (And look how skinny and pretty she is! Golly, I love my sis!)
This is my favorite picture of Bob, Austinn and Ally at the party. I was happy Johnna and Grant came to the party, and I could see them two days in a row, since we hung out the night before with them at my mother's house. Austinn is four years old now and he loves to hang on his Uncle Bob's arm. (When I asked Austinn how old he was, he says "Four pounds.) Too cute!! ;-)
My sister Johnna really has her hands full now with the new baby. (And who wouldn't love to have their hands full with sweet little Ryker, who is such a good baby and hardly ever cries!?) I thought this was a really cute scene - how my mom fed Johnna so she could eat and feed Ryker at the same time. They crack me up!
It was an awesome party and a perfect way to spend our Saturday afternoon. After the party, we drove my Mom to her piano student's house so she could teach piano. (we were kinda late leaving Heidi's house, therefore my poor mom was late!! Oooops!) Anyway, we proceeded to spend our evening with Johnna, Grant and the boys. We watched a movie at our house, had dinner and spent time together admiring the new TV and playing with the boys in my Barbie room. (ha, ha!) It was the perfect ending to a perfect day, and a wonderful week. Here is a cute picture I took of Johnna and her boys. Golly, they are too cute! I sure use those words alot, don't I? ;-) 
I love my family so much. ;-) More to come later! Till next entry~

Time flies when you're having fun...
...and fun it's been indeed. This week has been so marvelous. I never wanted it to end. Who could ask for anything more? Turning off the alarm clock and sleeping in each morning. I really wanted to hide it in the closet, but I couldn't because then I wouldn't know what time it was in the bedroom. Not like I really cared about time. I had absolutely no cares in the world. It's been wonderful to stay in my home each day, cleaning and organizing, and most importantly writing in my book. (Can you believe I'm on my final draft now? It's about time huh!) If I could live this kind of life that I've had this week - for the rest of my life - I would never have a bad day EVER again. I'm young and gulible, so I really believe that too.
So anyway...on with the more exciting news. On Monday, Bob and I went absolutely crazy! Somebody better put us away for life! But when you do, please promise me that you will keep us in the living room so we can stay sitting in front of this: our new toy, and the newest addition to the JenBob clan...our new bundle of joy...and oh, do we LOVE it!!!
67 inches of glory. =) See how Bob beams with pride??
It is such a beautiful TV. I could stare at it all day long, I'm so in love. (Don't worry, one of them is Bob.) They came on Tuesday to deliver it, and Wednesday for installation. (Thanks Robert and Mike, even though you will never read this, you were both quite entertaining.) So far we've watched all four seasons of LOST, which is one of our favorite TV shows, and just a couple of other movies and football games. (And by the way, YEAH for the GATORS, you guys rock!! I knew you'd beat Oklahoma in the BCS championship game, Tebo, I just knew it!!) Anyway, it's been so much fun. Bob and I can hardly tear ourselves away. And look at all the space we will save in our living room. It's amazing. Yeah, we love it. It's our new bundle of joy that I didnt even need to deliver myself, and better yet, it doesn't cry or keep me up at night. (LOL~ yeah, very funny, Jen) Well, actually, it does scream every hour for me to watch it, and it does kinda keep me from going to bed on time...so I guess that was a pretty bad analogy =) Forgive me, but I've been on vacation, I'm just a little loopy.
Loopy and happy!! But now it's time to get back slowly into the real world of alarm clocks, showering, (ha, ha!) driving myself to work when I'm too tired to think, and wishing I could spend more time at home. At least I have a new fun bill to pay off now - it will certainly make going to work worth it in the end! Life is good.
Till next entry...Happy, Happy, Joy, Joy!!

Proud of my boys...
...and who wouldn't be? Look how darn cute they are. Studs!!
Darin is on the left, and Larry on the right. Homeboys! Larry got a new suit for Christmas - complements of the Littleton Fifth Ward, and he wore it to church today for the first time. He looked so handsome and so proud, he couldnt stop grinning, and I couldn't help but take a picture of him when we came home. His smile was something I wanted to capture on camera forever. I love both of Bob's brothers so much. They live downstairs in our home, renting out the basement from Bob and I, and together they bring much light, love, laughter, (and not to mention crazy adventures) to our household. It kinda has that "Three's Company" type of feeling except that there are four of us, and nobody is gay. I wouldn't have my life any other way.
The new year continues, and so does the fun & entertaining world of the JenBob. Bob's grandmother ended up in the hospital Friday evening because she was having a difficult time breathing, but thank goodness she is doing okay and will be able to go home soon. Bob and Larry spent time with her on Saturday and gave her a Priesthood blessing. Meanwhile I finished the laundry, cleaned out our fridge and scrubbed it, vacuumed, and worked on organizing the bed room. I also visited the chiropractor and lifted weights while jamming to my favorite "Prince" tunes. =) It was a wonderful day. In the evening, Bob and I had a double date with our friends, Laura and Leif. =) We went out to a fun seafood restaurant and pigged out to our hearts content. We stopped at the new house that L&L will be renting the next year (what a gorgeous house!!) then closed our evening with Richard and Carla and the kids, talking in the living room, playing with the kids, and pigging out on Peanut Butter brittle.
It was snowing and freezing...yet we still stopped for ice cream. I think I have, like, the COOLEST friends ever!!
Here's Bob and I eating with our best friends at Joe's Crabshack. Mmmmmmm!
Isn't life wonderful? Yeah, it's pretty fantastic. I love my life~

Having way too much fun...
...and probably annoying my husband in the process.
One thing I love about the month of January is that I never fail to waste any time working on my New Years Resolutions. First thing this morning I was jumping around the bed, telling my handsome hubby to get up right away so we could hit the gym. After working out for half an hour (I love that eliptical!!) we went to Office Depot so I could buy new paper for my 2009 planner. Oh, and guess who we saw while there -standning in line?? Adele Arakawa, anchor from Channel Nine News - right there in front of us! I watch her every single day and I absolutely love her! Too bad I was all sweaty and dirty, otherwise I would have asked for her autograph. But being as I was, I was much too shy. So we simply admired her from afar, and gave the clerk a hard time about not recognizing her! (Silly boy!!)
Anyway, then we hit Subway for lunch and came home for the day. I love not having to work on Friday! I know Bob wanted to sit and enjoy his afternoon, but I was eager to take the Christmas decorations down outside. Then, after putting together my new planner and writing all the birthdays of my family and friends, for the next three hours I worked on my Barbie/Scrapbook room - getting it all cleaned and organized for the new year. And that was a project that I loved, every single minute of it. My goal was to get rid of anything I hadn't touched over the past year, and put everything else in it's place. This is my room, my special place, the place where my book will finally be completed. It's also the place I keep my Barbies and my scrapbooking things, all the things that make me Jen. =) I kept bothering Bob to come and see all the fun work that I've done! Bob, come and see all the trash I have! Bob, come and see all the things I will be giving away to Goodwill! Come and see! Come and see! Be proud of me, Bob! Love me!
Yeah, I'm annoying. Thank goodness Bob still loves me. At least, that's what he tells me. I hope he truly means it still...LOL~
Okay, so I'm happy because this is the second room I've organized in two days. You gotta love being a dork! I love it! =) I've been collecting Barbies since I was four years old, and now I have exactly 118 Barbies displayed in my room, the last time I checked. You're still thinking dork? LOL~I know, it's true. I'm just a big kid that refuses to grow up. I guess I don't really have to yet, being that I still have no kids of my own LOL~ This house needs one really bad, so for now I will play the role. =)
Yes, I love the month of January. Now it's time to chill and rest from my labors. Okay, so not really much labor for me, but I'm sure it's been for Bob. What's next on the list for tomorrow?? Not sure yet, but I'm sure it's something fun... =)
Yeah... I'm a dork.

New Years Celebration, The JenBob style
Aren't we cute? LOL~ Here we are, toasting in the New Year 2009...JenBob style. We didn't have the appropriate wine glasses to use for the toast, I forgotten that I'd given them away last year to my sister. But that's okay, we still had the cheap, plastic hawaii glasses to use, and they were just as good.
And here's my mother and I, after we finished our midnight smooches with our handsome men. She is such a cutie, and undoubtedly has become, just over the past couple years, one of the best friends I've ever had. I can't remember the last New Years Eve that I didn't spend with her. It's been such a rough year for her, first getting the news that she had colon cancer, then spending the entire year fighting it with chemo, radiation, nasty surgery, and then even more chemo. She whispered in my ear last night that her body is completely clean of the cancer, and my heart just melt with the news. After such a long and painful fight, she has won. I can never thank the Lord enough for that. I can never thank the Lord enough for my mother, who has become so much more to me than just a mother...So....my mom recently met the nicest man that she has been teaching the piano to. His name is Les. (She thinks he looks like Mel Gibson, but I'm leaning more towards Bob's handsome Uncle Fred.) He's very cute, and loads of fun. He loves football too, so I'm really hoping that someday soon he can break my mother in... ;-) So here they are together. Hubba Hubba Mom!! Score!! ;-)
We had so much fun last night, I'll never forget it. Bob and I finally went to sleep at 2am, and woke up to the sound of NO alarm clock!! ;-) We took the tree and other Christmas decorations down ( I didnt cry this year because I'm super glad the holidays are over LOL~) I'm excited for the new year to begin. I had a ball cleaning and doing the laundry. It feels great to be organized. Life is good...
Till next entry, (and there will be more this year, I promise!)
Happy Happy Joy Joy!!
