Effective September 23, 2006, I will become known as Jessica Jo Taylor Erwin.  Please make the appropriate changes in your Rolodexes.

I'm going to go google my future self now and see what I'll be up to.

Edited to add:  You know what's great? That there is no "jessica taylor erwin" on google.  I ( Read more... )

I have to decide by noon on Thursday whether I'm going to change my name, and if I do, what I'm going to change it to.  That's when we're going to get the marriage license.  Shit I can't decide what to do, which is why I'm taking a poll on my livejournal.  You, faithful readers, will determine my future.  Please choose one of the following, or come ( Read more... )

It's been about 2 weeks since my grandfather died.  He was a wonderful man, and I miss him.  He had a great sense of humor - spelling his name "Phred" cracked me up as a kid.  No, he wasn't a Phish head, he came up with that way before Phish did.

At the farmers' market on Saturday, I bought a 2 foot long zucchini that really looks more like a caveman's club.  It cost one dollar. Five steps away from the booth and it broke through the bag.  What do you do with a 2 foot long zucchini?  Make 2 loaves of zucchini bread!  The best zucchini bread ever, that is.  And then have 1 1/2 feet of ( Read more... )

Where in the greater Des Moines area can I rent a photo booth?

The dogs graduated from Good Manners class last night, and I have a diploma to prove it.  The instructors recommended that they go on to the Canine Good Citizen certification, which presumably will help them get into a good college.  All I know is that we need to buy a hula hoop because watching dogs jump through hula hoops is a rockin good time!

Today I'm 30.

But more importantly, can I no longer put photos on livejournal? Did I miss the announcement? Are they going to make me pay or what? The photo button is gone! GONE!  I think I remember noticing this before but blew it off as something wrong with my computer.  Whilst doing a google image search for "30th birthday" (one of my more ( Read more... )

Do you know what a Bully Stick is? You will very soon:

"Bully Sticks are 100% Bull penises, not a tendon, and not processed meat strips.  Bully Sticks are dried, lightly smoked or natural flavor and delivered to your door. We never try to hide what they are by giving them little cute names."

These are bull penises for your dog to chew on.  I would ( Read more... )

Happy Birthday James!

And a Happy Juneteenth to the rest of you!

I find it very appropriate that James' birthday falls on a holiday that is a portmanteau (or wordbine, the term he coined), because he LOVES portmanteaux like you wouldn't believe.

I think I've found a new and easy way to update my blog. The work is done for me by my sisters' friends on their awesome bebo sites ( Read more... )
