My husband = #AMAZEBALLS

#TalkNerdyToMeLover's @JenSquard

Aaaah, Brian.  This guy is something special, I’m not even joking.  Things have been a little funky at our house the last couple of weeks.  Everything is totally fine, we just haven’t gotten tons of chances to connect.  I have been putting every spare moment into rebuilding my site and changing content and fixing links and so on, and he has been spending all of his spare moments fixing the things I break on the site, and going through the backend and figuring out why things are being so insanely uncooperative.  

On top of that I had to cut him off from the sexing.  I hate hate hate to have to do that, but that is THE ONLY thing that will motivate him.  Seriously, that is it.  We have been in the process of remodeling our garage into a master bedroom for almost a year now.  It was supposed to be livable by the time Cadence was born...but now she is 7 months and it isn’t even wired.  The only time he works on it is when his brother or parents come over and help, and they live way far away, so it’s only happened a few times.  So he has hit a dry patch until our next inspection.  Sucky, but he is working on it for the first time ever.  

But he has been sooooo great these last couple of weeks.  Totally supportive of me in everything I try to do.  He built my wedding expo wall, and got my subdomain pointing in the right direction, even when GoDaddy said it couldn’t be done.  And and and and he bought us tickets to see Norm MacDonald tonight!  YESSSSSSS!  He’s been staying up late every single night working on stuff, and coming home from work early when I need him to.  

And this is what I found when I went to bed last night:


So Brian, your dry spell is over.  For a minute.  Then it’s right back to it, mister.  But live it up, man, this is your time to shine!

#Epic: Brazillian Michael Jackson Video

#TalkNerdyToMeLover's @JenSquard

Is there anything more amazing than this Brazillian taxi cab driver beat boxing while singing exactly like MJ?  The answer is no, there is nothing more amazing than this.  Love it sooooo so much!

A few tiddlybits that make @JenSquard unique.

#TalkNerdyToMeLover's @JenSquard

I was thinking about some of the weird stuff that makes me, well, me, and thought I would share it with you.  Here are some little known facts about me:

I like wet sandwiches and dry pasta.

I can small pheromones.  No joke, if you are horny, I can smell it.

Caffeine makes me sleepy.

I played the violin for 7 years, but couldn’t play 5 notes today.

I can drink 5 long island iced teas without puking.

Everyone called me Jennifer until college.

I hate milk but love cheese.

TNTML is the only time I have ever written anything for anyone outside of school.

I know how to knit but don’t have time to do it.

I am an excellent cook, but prefer to bake.

I’m allergic to citrus fruits, tape, coffee, grass, and my dogs.

My sense of humor is verrrrrry dry with a few dashes of sarcastic.

I could live on potatoes for every meal, but hate sweet potatoes.

My memory is terrible, and I am missing most of my memories from high school.

I’m artistic but can’t draw.  Like at all.

I’m self conscious of my smile.

I never wear underwear.

I eat when I’m bored.

I have worked in a sex shop, a pole dancing studio, as a custom perfume designer, at a secretarial office, in a hardware store, as a maintenance girl at an RV park, as a telemarketer, as a custom invitation designer, and at a tanning salon.

I earned a degree in Biology and love dissecting animals.  

I discovered a 100-year-old artifact during an expedition in our town.  

I very strongly dislike old people.  

I lost my license when I was 16.

#Horrific: 12 week challenge before pictures

#TalkNerdyToMeLover's @JenSquard

Today I signed up for Gold Gym’s Twelve Week Challenge.  If you have the biggest body changes in twelve weeks you can win cash and prizes - the grand prize is $10,000 - holy schnikes.  

I put it off until the very very very last day because you have to get your measurements and junk and the super fun part: getting your photo taken in your skivvies.  Before photo *gasp*.

So the good news is I am down 5 pounds.  Unfortunately that and all of my measurements were taken by this mighty fine hunk of man meat.  Not a joke, one of the most gorgeous dudes in town.  6’5 in all of his dark chiseled goodness.  drool

Not my favorite thing.  At least he wasn’t the one taking the picture of me in my chubby glory, right?  Meh, I’m on the right track, I suppose.  Money is an excellent motivator...and so is a before picture.  So now I’m going to go Zumba it up on my XBox Kinect.

#ProjectThreeSixFive: Day 32

#TalkNerdyToMeLover's @JenSquard

 Laundry = lamesauce.  With five of us living here we have shit tons of laundry, it is totally out of control.  I prefer to wash a ton and then fold it all at once, so our couches are constantly covered in clean clothes.  We hate it, but the cats think it makes an excellent perch.
