Due to the tragic death of one of my parents, I’ve been noticeably absent from this blog. As much as the passing is something I’d like to discuss here, the surviving parent has a hang-up about anything regarding her personal life being written about publicly on the internet. So, I’ll respect her wishes and keep the details to myself for the time being. Maybe after the shock wears off and I’m done being angry at the perpetrator of the boneheaded mistake which led to my stepdad’s passing… oh, who am I kidding? That anger isn’t ever going away and the shock will never wear off. So that’s that.

My husband has officially been deployed and is gone until December 2009. He leaves the country within the next week or two and will be at his final destination at some point in the near future, which will allow him to be online more often and our communication to stop suffering from the constant training and missions that they embark upon, in the run up to their official departure. Needless to say, the adaptation to his not being here is not easy and I’ve been spending a lot of time at my mom’s house. She feels too alone at her home and I feel too alone at mine. The only beings to keep me company here, at home, are the furry idiots – although, they’re more like roommates who don’t contribute to our living expenses.

Future plans include the possibility of enrolling in radio broadcasting classes at the local community college, continuing to learn Italian (Rosetta Stone HOLLAH!), and talking to a local glass blower about learning the craft, so that I can start making plugs and other nifty ear jewelry (Shhh! Don’t tell anyone.)… and of course, continuing with the awesome baking endeavors. There are also plans to frequently visit the San Diego Zoo, photograph a heck of a lot more, go camping, take a few road trips, and hello? ZOMBIEWALK!

Speaking of zombiewalk plans, we have a small secret event happening on January 22nd for undead, aged 21 and over, at a venue in San Diego. Music is involved in this zombie outbreak. If you want details, drop me a line, because it should be pretty awesome.

And yes, I will be updating this blog much more often. I promise.

[09:56] kc: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/6498304
[09:56] kc: eat one of those.
[09:56] jenn: HOLY SHIT THAT LOOKS AMAZING
[09:57] kc: carl’s jr doesnt have those?!?
[09:57] jenn: not that I know of
[09:57] jenn: I’d be like YO HOLD THE MAYO
[09:57] kc: hardee’s is our carl’s jr.
[09:57] jenn: yah I know
[09:57] jenn: jesus that thing is like… omg… I need one.
[09:58] kc: 1420 calories, thats like a heart attack in a wrapper.
[09:58] jenn: In an interview on CNBC, Hardee’s chief executive Andrew Puzder was unapologetic, saying the company’s latest sandwich is “not a burger for tree-huggers.”
[09:58] jenn: YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
[09:58] jenn: Andrew Puzder is my hero for the month
[09:58] kc: amazing, eh?
[09:58] kc: HAHAHHA
[09:58] jenn: I WANT AN ANTI-HIPPIE BURGER
[09:58] kc: fucking hippies
[09:58] jenn: hahahaha
[09:58] kc: HA!
[09:59] jenn: “If Hardee’s persists in marketing this junk, it should at least list calories right up on the menu board,” Jacobson said.
[09:59] jenn: hahahaha
[09:59] jenn: yeah like someone buying that doesn’t realize it’s going to be MASSIVELY fatty
[09:59] kc: for breakfast, they have made from scratch biscuits with icing and strawberry or blueberry compote..
[09:59] jenn: OMG
[10:00] jenn: I need to go to Hardeeeeeeessssss
[10:00] kc: 470 calories each, usually sold in packs of 2
[10:00] kc: for $1.89
[10:00] jenn: no wonder the south is so fat
[10:00] jenn: if y’all didn’t have hurricanes, tornadoes, stupid amounts of humidity, huge bugs, and rednecks… I would totally fucking move there.
[10:00] kc: now you can see how i put on over 50 pounds moving here.
[10:00] kc: mississippi and alabama two of the fattest states for a reason.
[10:01] kc: i think its something in the sweet tea

Andrew Puzder also said, “This is a burger for young hungry guys who want a really big, delicious, juicy, decadent burger…”

To that, I say… JUST guys? C’mon now. I would totally eat one of those. Sure, my internal organs – given their track record – would stage a massive revolution in a matter of minutes, evacuating the current residents of my digestive tract. A devastating bilious war would be fought, wreaking havoc on my lower abdominal cavity and preventing the would-be king of burgers from taking up residence less than the amount of time that it takes the cats to appear at my feet after hearing a can opener meet metal.

The nearest Hardee’s is 1,083 miles away, in Amarillo, Texas. All I have to say is that Carl’s Jr. (the west coast version of Hardee’s) better put that burger on its menu ASAP, or I’m going to have a 16 hour drive ahead of me VERY soon!

A conversation I had with Gus, which I felt needed to be brought over from LJ, simply because its amusement factor is through the roof…

[11:59] augusto: #1. why is there a Hitler channel
[12:00] jenn: it’s the nickname for the history channel
[12:00] augusto: OH
[12:00] augusto: HA HA
[12:00] jenn: because most of what they show on there revolves around ww2
[12:00] augusto: I thought there really was a Hitler channel
[12:00] jenn: can’t believe you don’t know that
[12:00] jenn:: DUDE THAT WOULD BE AWESOME
[12:00] jenn: ALL DICTATORS
[12:00] jenn: ALL THE TIME
[12:00] jenn: MUSSOLINI MONDAYS
[12:00] jenn: TROTSKY TUESDAYS
