Happy Halloween

I haven’t dressed up for Halloween since 2004, but last night my husband and I were forced to happily decided to dress up for my BFF Jen’s HalloBerthoWeen (Halloween Birthday!). I re-used items from my old “Halloween Trunk-O-Goodies” that I’ve collected through the years, and Adam didn’t spend a dime on his costume either.
I have [...]

My husband likes high school girls

This is my 100th post, woohoo!! So sorry that it’s not more meaningful (but really, do you read my blog for meaningful posts?)… enjoy anyway!
Me (looking through my perfume “closet” this morning): “Honey, what perfume should I wear today? Musky or fruity?”
Adam (groggily, after hitting his snooze button): “Ew, don’t say ‘musky’… that word is just [...]

Good friends tell you the truth you don’t want to hear.

Cleaning out my closet the other day = reality check. I finally went through my 5,007 tshirts and vowed to throw some away.
You know how (maybe it’s just me…) when you clean out your closet, instead of throwing stuff out you end up being all, “HEY! I forgot I had this! I’ll just put it [...]

Gray is NOT the new Brunette

So, the gray hair I found in November is back (the one I named “Extra 10 Pounds”). What the hell? I plucked it a few days after I found it the first time… and this morning while blowdrying my bangs I saw the fucker again!!
What. The. Hell
I always thought I’d have children before grays. Dammit! [...]

I’m changing my last will & testament

And leaving everything to Sephora.
Yes, the store.
Thank the heavens there is not a Sephora store here in Alaska, or my life would be in trouble. All of my paychecks would go directly to that company. Adam thinks they already do (he’s kiiiiinda right).
Seriously, tell me you wouldn’t sign over your bank account if you’d had [...]

What Not To Do (or, Classic JenTV)

There are certain things a girl should just never try to save money by doing at home…
Pedicures are fine. Manicures are fine (although I semi-suck at painting my own nails with anything other than clear polish). Self-tanning is fine. Usually eyebrow waxing is fine (I’m getting pretty damn good at it). I’d advise against self bang-cutting or [...]

Turning the tables

A few days ago Adam came home with an Axe Body Wash combo pack and was excited about this “detailer thingy” that had been advertised as this manly bath sponge for manly dudes.
 I can’t think of how many times Adam (or my dad, or his dad) has bugged me about buying makeup or pedicures or [...]

JenTV Episode #2: Wardrobe Malfunction

Scene: At lunch in a quaint little cafe here in Anchorage (Doriola’s)
Me: Blah blabbity blah, I totally need to buy new work clothes. Mine are all old and faded and pilling. I wear the same three sweaters like every day.
Molly: Yeah, blabbity blah, Nordstrom sale…
Me: Mmhmm, but I’m cheep. I shop at Old Navy and [...]
