I am tired of hearing people say that online communities are not real communities. Sick. and. tired. I know many people believe this because they think it is easy to hide our true selves online and put forth a façade of how we want others to perceive us. But here’s the thing, isn’t [...]

I feel like this blog has reflected the darker side of my life lately, as I have used it as a way to process through some difficult thought patterns. To the outsider (read: those who do not know me outside of what I blog) it may seem worse than it actually is. Because [...]

Today I fell on my ass in the middle of the street, and when I did, the digital camera I was holding hit the ground. Despite the fact that I was in pain and in danger of being run over by a car, my first reaction was to check the camera for any damage.
It [...]

Some friends came over to the House of Barbeque on Friday night, and one of them mentioned that she’d missed my regular blog updates. Aside from it being a busy week with Bryan home (he likes that attention, you know), I’ve been having some interesting health issues that have created a lot of fatigue. [...]

I’ve been attending a yoga class at the gym once or twice a week for the last month, and today is the first time that I felt strength and confidence through the process. I’m getting the hang of it. My shoulders are feeling stronger to hold my weight, my calves are limbering up as [...]

I’ve been having some uncomfortable digestive issues lately, which I won’t go into detail about here because I think we’ve had enough poop talk this week. But the first line of action my doctor suggested was to go on a B.R.A.T. diet to see if that eliminates the symptoms. I am also taking [...]

Occassionally I like to use tactics to draw out my blog stalkers and try to meet the people who are reading my outer monologue. Will you induldge me this time, dear Internet?
My friend sent me this meme - she doesn’t have a blog so I can’t link her. I don’t usually do these, but [...]

[Is it, Things He Does? or Things He Do? or, is there really no way to make sense of that?]
We’re staying in Palo Alto this weekend, at an apartment of one of Bryan’s friends while he’s out of town. After eating some take-out Chinese, Bryan went to the store to buy milk and cereal [...]

Yesterday Ruthie and I were snuggling on the couch watching our daily dose of Dora the Explorer when she leaned over, pressed her forhead into mine, held both my cheeks in her hands, and said, “Mommy, you’re my best. friend.”

That I lived in California, and could purchase gobs of rum and taquila at Costco. That would truly make my life complete.

I’m so excited I could pee! I have butterflies in my chest and my head is going to explode! I have finally discovered how to do EXACTLY what I’ve wanted to do with music on this blog!
Last night I went to a Gnomedex networking party and met a guy named Matt. We [...]

I love it when Bryan attends techie events like Mind Camp and Gnomedex, which is TOTALLY his playing field, and he gets blank stares upon introducing himself to certain people…. until he says, “I’m Jen Zug’s husband.”
And they light up and say, “Oh, I LOVE her blog!”
Kinda makes me wanna gloat. Just a little [...]

I was sitting at the kitchen table this morning supervising Ruthie’s use of scissors (they may be snubbed on the end, but that doesn’t stop her from trying to cut her tongue out), when I saw something out of the corner of my eye on the deck.
A little bit later I saw it [...]
