When I was much, much younger, and worked for a Mcfast-food place (I refuse to call it a Mcrestaurant.) I used to have nightmares that the food chased me down and attacked me.  Trust me, you haven’t had a nightmare until it involves being smothered by a Filet O Fish sandwich. 
Flashing forward many, many years, I [...]

Lots of things get better with age, right?  Wine, cheese, my puppy, and me (for that matter).  I’m becoming increasingly fascinated  with vintage couture and the possibilities of vintage jewelry and accessories.   My new favorite activities is haunting the vintage and antique stores in town looking for treasures.  I found a darling, lonely clip-on earring of [...]

Also, you HAVE to check out the jewelry  page.  Beth the Web Goddess did some amazing web magic stuff and now you can see all the jewelry in a slide show, click on it for a larger image, plus I added some new things. Very exciting!

And for the second morning in a  row, I’m awake.  Don’t ask why.  I don’t know.  I just found yesterday’s blog post, unposted – ugh.  I’ll call the Alzeimer’s Unit later and see if there’s an opening.  If I remember.
Yesterday I was anxious. There was a big project that needed finishing, and my creative kettle [...]

Today you are getting a blog, not so much.  I had to write my girlgetstrong.com article for Tuesday (due Saturday), or Melanie, my fab editor would have hunted me down.  It’s supposed to be hotter than Hades today, so we’re all going to the lake. 
But first, I have to run out to the craft store [...]

My most excellent step-son is job-hunting.  He’s sixteen, he wants a job so he can pay for important things, like upgrading his ATV, buying new shoot-em up video games, and buying me those Chistian Laboutins.
He’s in the process of applying for a position at Famous Footwear.  An entry-level customer service job.  Now, while he’s intelligent, [...]

Even though Jenn and the City is really Jenn and the Country now, I still keep one eyeball on the fashion pages and admittedly  possess a superfluous passion for shoes – since I spend most of my life in flip-flops.  Do NOT tell Clinton and Stacy.  I also have an inherent curiousity in obscure cultural [...]

Murphy showed up this morning.  My lovely puppy, who behaves like a perfect angel when I leave him home alone, crawled under my bed and got my black Bass heels this morning.  I’ve had those shoes forever, they’re comfortable, they have a look of business like sophistication, and they work with pants and skirts. They [...]

We’ve been fighting the Caddyshack war, also known as the running of the moles, for quite some time.   Finally, last week Tara won the title of Whippet Mole Slayer and caught the little bugger. 
Today I came home mid-day from the soccer tourament to give the dogs some  quality outside time. I checked my email and went [...]
