    The meaning of life?

    A few weeks ago I posted a picture of a coffee mug that a family friend had given me … that calmly instructed me to breathe deeply… now, I’m for sure working on that although the mug gets less use since its not travel friendly. My mom gave me this pack of gum the other…

    Update: Sharing is Caring

    Yesterday during my lunch break, I decided to finally pick a loan off of Kiva to donate to. I have been aware of this site for probably about a year or two and really admire the efforts and I guess the whole system/principle of microfinance. And… since I don’t explain things very well, here is…

    I started working nearly 6 weeks ago. I’ve done a bit of traveling since that fateful day …. including a week in the Washington DC area … and now a week in NYC. yep, as you can see from the picture… Times Square. NYC is quite the adjustment from working from home. Beyond the obvious…

    Amazon… you are the love of my life

    I’ve always been a huge fan of Amazon. I love the breadth of their product offering. I love the customer service. But perhaps above all, I love being an Amazon Prime member. Amazon Prime has completely changed my buying habits. I hate going to stores even more now – why go when I can see…

    Update: Amazon/Heidi Klum v. Lululemon

    Ok, I admit my blog title might be a bit misleading. As far as I know, there is no war being waged between these two parties – although Lululemon fans think there should be. I find it a little surprising that there isn’t much more out there beyond blog entries of people commenting on the…

    Hotel Life

    Dear Hilton Hotels, I am a new guest to your brand of hotels and I’d like to point out a few “pain points” during my stay. Now, let’s be clear… by “pain points” I mean … things I have come to expect in hotels that are apparently missing at the Washington Dulles Hilton. I’m used…

    Goals Update

    Awhile back I blogged – like way back – that by the time I went back to work I was hoping to get a visitor to my site from each of the 50 states. Every now and then I check the Google Analytics profile to see how I’m doing. Fun Jen Fact? I love analytics,…
