It's been too long...

Welp Folks, I haven't posted anything in about 10 monthes. Now, 10 monthes later, I am once again unemployed and was able to take the time to figure out the password I had forgotten 10 monthes ago. So here's the update on my life.

1. Quit job to take new job in August
2. Quit new job in September
3. Doing Promos at Whole Foods and Wild Oats a few hours a day while job searching
4. Moving once again to a new apartment with new roomate
5. considering puppy as usual
6. Realizing I hate moving and vow never to move again as I do every time I move
7. Brainstorming of ideas on how to not work, travel, and perhaps support a puppy

So, there it is. Another exciting day in the life of Jenna. I promise to update more often. I will leave you with a picture of Ryan Adams and I from his tour this summer.

Mandy requested a blog!

My friend Mandy pointed out that I needed to post an updated blog, but I don't have time at the moment so I am posting the e-mail she sent me instead.


Dear Super Nugget,
I will call you Super Nugget. Just did.
haha That made me laugh.
You became so damn heady when you began your career in digestive health. :) Well, you were probably heady before that, but just about other things.
I like your headiness. Speaking of that, it's time for a new blog.
I probably just need a little whiskey.

Life in Jenna's car.....

Life in Boulder is still going well. I actually took this picture in Denver while driving with my friend Beth. I honked at him when I pulled up and he jumped and kinda looked at me funny. Beth thinks my honk was a bit aggressive and may have frightened him. I figured a good strong honk was in order for peace. Also, if you are going to hold up a sign that says "honk for peace" you should not have a fear of honking horns.

Anywhom, I went snowboarding again last weekend.......let me caution all those who are not firmilar with the traffic on I70 to take note. Given, we risked our lives to go board in the midst of a snowstorm, but we ended up driving a total of 7 hours there and back which should be a total of 3 hours. If that weren't enough fun, one of my best friends here, and I won't name names, is terrified of driving in the snow. Add to that not eating all day, some sort of weird freezing of the inside windows of my car, and one spot my windsheild wipers seem to miss due to having been run over by another car(another long story). So, hunched over with my 5 by 5 inch view of the road we made it home. Although it was trying, in the end all was right when we made it back to Boulder and drank delicous nitro java porters at the Southern Sun.

Happy Halloween

So I had a great Halloween in Boulder. I have been in full Pippy form for almost 3 days straight. First, to the Fox where the Motet covered Madonna. If your ever in Boulder for Halloween, this is the place to be. The next morning we headed to Arapahoe Basin for my first day snowboarding. The easiest way I have found is to point your board downhill and go with it. We fell a lot, but comforted ourselves by boosing in the parking lot and cooking up some brauts with some fellow boarders. To end our weekend we celebrated my good friends Laura Ann's (Chiquita Banan Lady) Birthday with a break dancing party and Jack Daniels. It was a good weekend.

Other news in Jenna's world:
1. Same job in sales in the natural supplements industry.
2. The Buckeyes are undefeated
3. Thanksgiving in the mountians with a little snowboarding perhaps....
4. Learning to snowboard

Cheers-

Thank God for Helanka!!

Helanka is my mother. For those of you that think I get my firey side from my red hair, you are wrong. It's from my beautiful mother who has filled my life with wisdom, love, and compassion. Anyone who hangs out with me long enough will hear me quote my mother so I figured I would compile a short list of Helanka's truths and sayings.

1. "Will the perfect person please stand up?"

2. She'll often follow a complaint I have with "Well, people in hell want ice water!"

3. "No one comes with a gaurantee."

4. "People higher up the ladder have fallen farther than you."

5. "You can fall in love more than once."

6. "Love the one your with."

7. "He'll get whats coming to him."

8. "Get over it."

9. "Life's just a shit sandwhich... and sometimes you gotta take a bite."

10. "Liquors quicker!"

Am I at NIA class or a Phish show??

I am trying to find more creative ways to work out as I really can't stand to run and I never find the gym very amusing..and why should being fit be a punishment?? I feel like I have all this energy and creativity in my body that can't get out through monotnous workouts. After talking to a co-worker (also a former NIA instructor) I decided to take the Saturday morning class..
So what is NIA? "Nia is an expressive movement practice that uses The Body's Way to achieve physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual fitness and well-being." So let me explain... I walk into a class with a bunch of strangers and no instruction. They basically tell me to let lose and rock out. Next thing I know I feel like I am at a Phish show where everyone is f**** up and dancing like crazy while completely unaware of their sourroundings.... I'm not f*** up and feeling out of place so naturally I'm a little nervous, but after deciding I didn't care if I looked like an idiot... I let go.
I reached I new head space of freedom beyond just fitness. We whirled around and danced like little kids. It felt really good to let your body be expressive as we are constantly controlling every move it makes. It was really cool, and an amazing workout, and I just wanted to let all of you who are bored with your workout to give it a try.

Disclaimer: sorry for being so damn headie in the blog entry. Boulder must be getting to me.

What day is it???

So you know you are unemployed when you meet the following criteria. (I do start a job Monday, so no need to send charity checks....I will, however, accept donations towards debt.)

1. your best friend calls and you have to ask what day it is, and when you guess, you guess wrong.
2. your spare time is spent constructing a giant hoola hoop.... I still believe this was a good decision.
3. you use your last 14 cents (I seriously mean last 14 even after going through my car, house, old jackets) to get an iced yerba mate...at least I have priorities.
4. you have a fake tattoo of the new belgium logo on your forearm

Yes, it seems rough being unemployed, and any day now destiny is going to get off its ass.
