Famous Jennifers

image.attributes.post_excerpt
Today is Learn What Your Name Means Day. Apparently, Jennifer means ‘fair.’ Pffft. And so I am reminded of this entry from the Archives ~~ I never liked being a Jennifer.  It always felt so – what’s the word? – normal.  I’m a lot of things but normal is definitely not one of them.  I... Read more »

Like Tim Tebow: Do you pray at work?

Someone once told me they never pray – ever – and I was shocked.  I couldn’t help but think how lonely and scary the world must be for someone who never talks to G0d. I pray all day. I pray when I get up in the morning – nothing formal but if something is on... Read more »

The Duggars: 20th Kid on the Way! What do you think?

Thumbs down. Don’t get me wrong ~ I hope baby #20 is happy, healthy and beautiful like all of their kids – as my grandmother would say, G0d bless ‘em – but … 1. Aren’t there enough people in the world? If Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar’s 20 kids each have 20 kids, that’s 400... Read more »

image.attributes.post_excerpt
In light of the extremely articulate Brad Pitt saying his life ‘wasn’t interesting’ during the 90′s and his marriage had ‘something to do with it’ (ouch!) and then, of course, backpedaling like it’s nobody’s business, I’m reminded of this entry from the Archives ~ ~~~~~~~ It’s hard not to appreciate when someone speaks their mind...

Why do fools fall in love?

Samantha Ronson Charged with DUI ... reminds me of my business idea that's GENIUS

At the Jersey shore (yes, I had a house at the Jersey shore), we never drank and drove.  We didn’t have to.  We had “the drunk bus.”    It made stops in Point Pleasant, Mannesquan, Belmar, Spring Lake (no, a girl like this never goes to Sleazeside Heights, thank you very much) and you basically got rolled...
