Welcome to the Wonderful World of Jen

Today is turning out to be A Good Day!!!

First, volleyball last night was not as great as it has been, but still good. I felt like some of the players on my team were rather lackadaisical when it came to putting effort into chasing after the ball, which can really annoy me sometimes. Like when I have sacrificed my body to chase down a ball and then they just watch it fall and shrug like "Oh well, maybe next time." GRR. On the plus side, though, I felt like I definitely put way more effort into playing, which gave me a better work out. (And sweatier clothes. =P) I also am starting to be more consistent in the toss for my jump serves, which I have never done before. As long as the toss stays consistent, the whole hitting it in or over the net part will follow. At least, that's what I keep telling myself. ;)

When I got home last night, I found out that poor Tania has the flu. Today she felt better, but was having trouble breathing, so she thought she might have pneumonia instead. Ack. Poor girl. I feel bad for her and want to help her feel better...but at the same time I kinda want to quarantine her so Kym and I don't get sick, too! So far, I am feeling fine, though, so...yeah. No biggie yet.

So. Why today is A Good Day. My sister just called me to let me know that she has been offered a position on staff for ASP this summer. YAY!!!!!! She's following in my footsteps. Awesome!! I am hoping she's kinda close by (within an 8 hour drive would be nice!) so I can go see her this summer without lots of driving. Also, the closer she is, the more likely G might be able to come with me, but we'll see on that. He had an interview this week, so he might be a working boy this summer.

The other good thing for me today is that I am in the process of coming up with a new educational workshop to offer and I just got a big help from another advocacy group with the basic outline of a plan that I can refine and tweak until I have it the way I want it. That is so helpful and fantastic!!

Tonight is pizza and Olympics with Kym. Too bad my blender is on the fritz or it could be pizza, Olympics and daiquiris!!!

I have to be here (at work) until 9 tonight but the people aren't coming until 7, so I am in some downtime. I SHOULD go eat dinner, but I am not hungry yet. Too bad I am going to be a starvin Marvin by the time I finally leave around 9...

How about this January weather?? Sixty degrees. Now THIS is a winter I could live with!!

Weather for Las Vegas next week: Upper 50's to low 60's. MONEY. We leave Wednesday for Vegas since Jes turns 21 this Sunday. Crazy. My lil sister is all growed up!

I hadn't planned on driving downtown today but the metro parking lot was full. I am praying that I have enough gas to get back!

Last night I went to G's and we met up with some of his friends and rented Mr. and Mrs. Smith. Brad and Angelina were TOTALLY getting it on during that movie because they had ZERO chemistry on screen. Totally bogus movie, too. Not believeable at ALL. But that was part of the humor to it, right? Right??

Volleyball starts up again tomorrow and I am stoked. Can't wait to get back on the courts. My New Years resolution this year is to be in bikini shape by my birthday, since we'll be out in Cali for a wedding. I figure if I start now, I might make it...we'll see how it actually pans out.

Still not hungry...oh well. I'll be drinking lots of water and hopefully that will help fill me up.

So. Remember a while ago I wrote that entry about "nobody f***s with my little sister"?

Well. Apparently they didn't listen to me. The list is done. Time to start kicking some ass.

Also, my mom knows about all this.

Mama Bear is not ok with someone picking on her Baby Bear. Mama Bear is scary enough WITHOUT being pissed off.

Man, I don't envy this guy.
