Another book you should all read is Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus by John Gray. Now, I'm not saying this book will solve all your problems or that everything in it is right on, but I do think there are a lot of valuable concepts Gray teaches and teaches well. The premise [...]

On Friday for our date Colin and I went to The Mayan. I mentioned earlier in my blog that I'd never been, and when Colin read that he was shocked and decided he had to take me (another perk of blogging). I'd had a tough day and it was a huge relief to leave the [...]

If you've studied psychology or organizational behavior, you've probably heard of Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs. The wikipedia summarizes the theory this way: His theory contends that as humans meet 'basic needs', they seek to satisfy successively 'higher needs' that occupy a set hierarchy. Basically, the idea is that if you're hungry or can't breathe, you [...]

Last night's date was memorable and I felt like everywhere we went something slightly creepy happened. First, we drove around aimlessly for a little while until we decided to stop at a Mac store to look at iPod covers to protect Colin's iPod from the abuse it endures from me, him, and two babies. It [...]

I got my haircut done yesterday and it was a pretty good experience. I ended up with chunky side-bangs (I'm not sure if I like having such a big chunk of bangs, but it'll grow back if I don't) and long layers. Kim, you'll be happy to hear that I kept all but about an [...]

Check out www.colinjensen.com/contest.php for details if you’re interested. We’ve got some good leads already. Thanks to those [...]

Colin’s job at Pinnacle is over. To make a long story short, Colin is a leader and the school needed a manager more than a leader in the short run, and since they couldn’t afford to pay for both Colin and his boss sat down and decided they needed a manager personality for the Administrator [...]

This morning all four of us are sick. I have a sore throat, Colin has a big sinus headache, Degen and Maggie have runny noses. Maggie seems to be teething, too, and she had a bout of inconsolable crying today that got me to call my mom to find out whether I should take her [...]

Colin’s grandfather died last week, as I mentioned before, and we went to the funeral on Monday. It was definitely the least-sad funeral I’ve ever been to. That might sound bad, but I mean it in a good way. Delos was a good man, loved by his family, 96 years old, mostly blind and deaf [...]

My sister-in-law, Kim, emailed me today and asked for a list of questions my maid of honor asked Colin about himself, then they asked me about him at my bridal shower. I just found them and re-read his answers. All I can say is that I married a great guy, because he answered every question [...]
