Life à la jen-mac: House Acquisition, Part III
http://lumberjackjen.blogspot.com/2014/11/house-acquisition-part-iii.html
Life à la jen-mac. Monday, November 24, 2014. House Acquisition, Part III. In the first part, we found a house that was awesome then decided it was unawesome. In the second part, we looked a bunch of houses we didn't want. In the third part, we. oh, this is the third, and final, part. Carry on. It was rainy and gross the morning we arrived to tour the old-lady-driven house. Upon entering the house there was a sense of relief: there was nothing immediately wrong with it! It had a backyard! Most likely....

Life à la jen-mac: House Acquisition, Part II
http://lumberjackjen.blogspot.com/2014/11/house-acquisition-part-ii.html
Life à la jen-mac. Friday, November 21, 2014. House Acquisition, Part II. When I last left you, we were feeling a bit down about walking away from a pretty good house. 1) Potentially unreliable heating system, as previously discussed. 2) Selling the furniture with the house. While an asset for some, likely undesired from the majority of people purchasing a home. I really didn't know. In the event that you don't know, here is what I learned about the initial steps. Luckily we had found a fall-back house t...

Life à la jen-mac. Wednesday, April 17, 2013. The Disappointing Pillow Story. You know what makes me feel like an adult? Buying things that aren't toys, books, clothing, food, or drink. Buying towels makes me feel mature, particularly if they are somewhat soft. Purchasing pillows makes me feel responsible, like an important member of society. What is a lady to do? Copy and paste party! It even came in a box with a carrying handle - that's fancy, guys. BONUS: Le Kitty likes to play in the box. On the plus...

Life à la jen-mac. Tuesday, November 19, 2013. The Undisappointing Bed Story. Remember that time I felt all mature because I bought an expensive pillow that sucked? Read: The Disappointing Pillow Story. What a life lesson. That pillow is currently still in two parts. One part is in the living room, useful for when sitting on the floor playing with Giant Kitty. The other part is. I don't know where it is. Perhaps on our spare bed? Oh, what's that? What a wonderful segway into today's non-fictional story.

Life à la jen-mac: HAL Veendam Cruise to Home - Part I
http://lumberjackjen.blogspot.com/2014/12/hal-veendam-cruise-to-home-part-i.html
Life à la jen-mac. Sunday, December 28, 2014. HAL Veendam Cruise to Home - Part I. HAL Veendam docked at Bar Harbor. I was very fortunate at my old job to have about four weeks vacation per year. In PEI vacation starts at two weeks per year and after eight whole years. I knew I was going to be unemployed and still had three other trips (thanks Air Miles! Upon initial research it appeared that Canada might not be considered "far enough". I called Holland America and they didn't think it would be a pro...

Life à la jen-mac. Friday, May 24, 2013. Edinburgh, so long ago. Once, a long time ago, in 2004 to be precise, two friends and I moved to Edinburgh. In Edinburgh's life, it was pretty insignificant. Wandering twenty year olds from foreign lands were not new to her. However, in my (our) life, it was incredibly significant. Actually in Zurich, Switzerland, not on the plane. Arrival in Edinburgh was surreal. You follow the signs and move with the people around you. They could be on their way home, o...We to...

Life à la jen-mac. Thursday, June 27, 2013. Taxation without Representation - Museums and Monuments. For le Boyfriend, it had a soccer team and me, as a tour guide and lovely travel companion. Because I like to go back and read through my holiday archives, here is Part I of DC Adventures. Matching the podium is essential for being President. DC is littered with wonderful museums. The Smithsonian Institute. Or, "Statue that Visitors Climb All Over"). FDR and I listening to the radio. We accidentally skipp...

Life à la jen-mac: October 2014
http://lumberjackjen.blogspot.com/2014_10_01_archive.html
Life à la jen-mac. Wednesday, October 01, 2014. Despite having little to do this summer, I haven't blogged very much with the exception of a bunch of posts sitting in a draft folder. One thing I wanted to write about was Friskey. He was my family's cat from 1993 until, sadly, 2014. Unnamed kitten eventually became Friskey, inspired by his high energy levels and love for running and jumping. Furthermore, he eventually was fully named Friskey J. R. Charlie Garfield MacPhail Jr., which is wh...He mellowed o...

Life à la jen-mac: January 2015
http://lumberjackjen.blogspot.com/2015_01_01_archive.html
Life à la jen-mac. Friday, January 09, 2015. Things that happened as a result of losing my job: the weird tremors in my hands went away, my occasional eye twitch vanished, I made less money, and I was far less stressed/irritable. My job wasn't stressful, but the environment of will-the-job-exist-will-it-not-exist-who-knows isn't exactly a pleasant one to be in for two years. Now that we got the boring necessities of job hunting out of the way, on to the more exciting things. Europe summarized in one long...
