TGIF. If I could emphasize that anymore it would be TGIFF. Use your expletive imagination.
No big plans this weekend. I am getting my hair cut and coloured tomorrow. I was going to grow my colour out, but I caved because it looks like shit. I’m vain. Sue me.
It is really warm here right now, unseasonably, so I might get some outside in. I might even put up the tree, but there is no snow here and it just doesn’t feel festive. I love Christmas, all the things I am not supposed to love. The gifts, both buying and receiving, I love the food, the baking, the overindulgence, the music. I like decorating and seeing my family and having people over and wearing sparkly things and egg nog. But lately it has been so warm I am all confused about the time of year. It has been about 10 degrees Celsius here for the last week or so (that about 50-something F for the metrically challenged). There is almost no snow, just tiny patches. It makes the city feel decidedly unfestive not to mention it perpetuates the horrible drought we have been experiencing in this part of the world.
I might be able to bake this weekend without the snow. I think I can manage metling chocolate and whipping up shortbread despite the warmth.
What is your favourite christmas goodie?

This could be total bullshit. I couldn’t find anything else about it on the web, in my somewhat limited search. Check it out. Thanks to Michelle for emailing me the pic.

is paved with good intentions. Or cell phones, or SUVs or Britney Spears Albums or many other things.
I am hurting today. Still a little blue, but also from doing shoulder stands in yoga last night. I have no idea what I did wrong, but I can barely move my neck today. It actually could be from doing the plow as well. I obviously did something wrong. Or, I slept wrong, but I am suspcious it was the yoga. See! I should have stayed home and watched HGTV. For those of you that do yoga, have you noticed that some poses are best done by those with 1) no gutt or 2) no boobs? I nearly choked myself to death doing the shoulder stands and the plow last night. Boobs are over rated.
Tonight, I will be at home moping and eating cake. Mark and I will likely check out must-see-tv’s offerings as well.
I just had a lovely break with my SBF*, who is fabulous. He has a blog, go tell him to update it daily. He’s a smart dude with a quick wit. He also brought me a diet vanilla coke, which I had never tasted before. It is quite yummy. Like cream soda and coke mixed together with aspartame goodness.

First of all, I would like to remind my American friends that Thanksgiving, at least the one celebrated this weekend, is an American holiday. I appreciate the Happy Thanksgiving sentiments, but I will be working in the salt mines tomorrow and not enjoying pie and football like y’all. But I hope everyone who is celebrating has a nice day with family, friends and food.
I am going to yoga tonight. Rather Michelle and I are going. I feel kinda’ guilty about not going last week and instead eating a pile of chinese food and watching HGTV, but it was a nice evening. If I wasn’t going to yoga I may have gotten around to some christmas projects, or I may just have settled my ass into the groove on the couch.

It’s that time again. The time where I share some of the goofy search terms which lead people to jennui.com. The top four are: juggys, canuckistan, pee standing, and catholic school girl pics. I am most proud of “juggys”, because I am third on that search term. I am sure there are a lot of disappointed juggy-lookers that arrive at jennui – poor souls. Maybe I will put a picture of some jugs. That should satisfy people for a while….

Canada makes the top 5 in education according to the UN. We done and got smart.

I’m not blue today as much as mopey. I had a really good one for you today that I thought of on the bus, but it seems the walk from the bus stop to the office blotted it out. Good story eh?
Now I remember but it doesn’t seem so funny now that I am awake. I was going to ask what the point is of one ply toilet paper? Don’t people just use twice as much? Is there really a savings in supplying only the one ply? I am suspicious. And one ply just is not comfortable. I would like to see a comprehensive study proving to me that by buying one ply organizations are actually saving money. There is a thesis topic just waiting to happen.

To ease my blue, someone tape the Osbornes for me. We won’t get it here until next year.

Hello to my many fans. Feeling kinda’ cranky and blue today. Nothing specific, but perhaps a more entrancing update will wait til tomorrow.
hugs and kisses
