Today I invested in a Wazzu sweatshirt, upsetting my Dolphin Sisters (both UW grads) and half my office. I’ve never felt much affiliation with either school, but now my adorable and beautiful little sister is attending WSU and is a Crimson Girl. What’s a Crimson Girl, you ask? The WSU Crimson Girls Dance Team, now entering its sixth year, is a group of 16 highly experienced dancers who perform... Read more

I’m probably going to geek out a lot about Social Media lately cause it’s what I’ve been spending most of my time researching. So, I’ve been exploring Twitter a bit more, even though I’ve been using it on the blog for awhile now. I’ve graduated to searching for things people are talking about, or even better–clicking on the “Nifty Queries” links on the... Read more

Yesterday I totally rocked a presentation that I’d spent countless hours preparing for–in the office until 7 p.m. Monday, working from home till 10 p.m., then back in the office the next morning at 7 a.m. I felt that in some ways, I out-shined myself, and it feels really great. I’m finally making a name for myself on my team and breaking through those first, tough three months on the job.... Read more

I freakin’ love any Presidential hopeful who is involved in social media to this degree: Hi, [20-Something]. Barack Obama (BarackObama) is now following your updates on Twitter. Check out Barack Obama’s profile here: http://twitter.com/BarackObama Best,Twitter I read a number of articles on how Obama has a Twitter page and regularly updates it, so I decided to follow good ole’ Obama and...

Every day on my lunch hour, I walk past American Apparel on my way to the gym. The store has never really interested me much since it’s a bunch of plain t-shirts, sweatshirts, etc. Not really my thing. But, for some reason I stopped in a couple weeks ago, and found the most genius clothing item ever–I had to purchase it. It’s their new Le Sac dress. It’s really rather simple–a... Read more

I found this on one of my favorite blogs, Pretty In The City. It’s a Web site where you can upload a standard photo of yourself and adjust it to fit yearbook-style, black-and-white photographs from the 1950s through 2000. I used my dorky work photo, and came up with “Jeanna Through the Years”: 1952 1960 1962 1964 1966 1968 1978 1984 1992 1994 Gosh, I really have evolved through the... Read more

When he saw me before heading out to dinner last night: “You look cute. You look–clean.” “Clean” is not exactly the adjective you want a boyfriend searching for when he’s trying to figure out why you look better than all the other 100 times he’s seen you. Currently Feeling: Stuffed. Yuck. I hate going out to lunch at work!Currently Anticipating: Walking Greenlake... Read more

…but you can be cold! After Luke & Jana’s wedding Friday night, Baby Daddy and I drove to Ocean Shores to stay at his family’s condo on the beach. I’ve been to the Oregon and Washington coast a handful of times in my life, and nearly every time it was freezing cold with grey skies. One would think that the hottest weekend in Seattle (up to 100 degrees) would mean that it would... Read more

Friday evening I attended the wedding of two of my favorite friends–Luke and Jana Lamon. I met Luke the summer after my senior year of college when I moved to Fremont to live with Amanda. Amanda flirted with a guy one night at Ozzie’s, who asked for her number. Later that week, we agreed to meet this guy and his friends at The Dubliner, which was down the street from our apartment. One fun... Read more

Last night I went for a quick dip after work at Madison Park–my favorite swimming destination in all of Seattle. There is something so summer about swimming in the twilight hours; it’s a feeling I crave all year long. The pebbles and sand between your toes…sucking in your breath as the lake water inches up your thighs toward your tummy…shade from the trees casting shadows over the... Read more
