Just when you thought it was safe to read my column again, I’ve done what should very rarely be attempted in the movies—but is done all the time, especially in the summer–the dreaded sequel. (If you don’t know what I’m talking about, let me help. A year and a half ago, I wrote a column […]

People have often asked me where I get my sense of humor. A lot of that credit goes to my parents. My Dad, Len, was a hilarious man. He was funny and boisterous and the life of the party. Unfortunately, he died when I was 10, and he was just 37. He crammed quite a […]

If you read this column last time, then you know what’s been going on—I cut my own hair. And if you didn’t read this column, go to the East County Times website, and read it so that you can be caught up. We’ll wait. Are you back now? Good. So, I got frustrated with my […]

I’ve always had a lot of thick hair. Wasn’t always so curly—I can thank puberty for that—but since birth, let’s just say that I’ve had much more hair that the average Joe…or Jen. I’m lucky to have been seeing the same stylist for over 20 years now. (Of course, we were both only five when […]

My late mom was an excellent cook. She made amazing lasagna, stuffed cabbage, spaghetti sauce, chili—the list goes on and on. But the one treat she made each Christmas season, the one that everyone desired, was her creamy, rich chocolate fudge. She would make tons and tons of fudge and give it out to the […]

While I love the Internet, there’s one thing about it that makes me run screaming away from my computer. Is it because I can learn—up to the minute—what crisis is going on in the lives of each and every Kardashian? Nope. Because I keep getting ads that ask if I want to become a million-dollar […]

If you read my last column, you know that our family recently dealt with a loss. Our beloved dog, Daisy, passed away. The entire household has been depressed. But my stepdad and Riley the Wonder Dog have been hit hardest. While my husband and I had to go to work, they didn’t, and they spent […]

Regular readers of this column are familiar with our dogs who, until Riley the Wonder Dog, preferred to go by pseudonyms to protect their privacy. Snoopy was actually named Scooby, Steve was really Rascal, and our sweet girl Rose was really named Daisy. Four years ago, Scooby passed. Rascal followed a little over two […]

My husband, Brad, and I are pretty good about knowing our strengths and our weaknesses. I’m not a good singer. At all. You don’t want me singing at your wedding—unless, that is, you want to drive everyone out of the church or ceremony holding their ears and screaming. Brad is not a fan of public […]

I originally had a different column for you to read this week—one that you’ll see soon, but not today. Because when you look outside your office window in late March and see more than four inches of snow on the ground, with more falling, well, you just need to comment on it. Really? I mean, […]
