I watched a movie called An American Carol. It was a spoof about Michael Moore the documentary filmmaker. It was starring the brother of the late Chris Farley. His name is Kevin Farley. It also had Kelsey Grammar, John Voight, Leslie Nielsen, Robert Davi, and quite a few other well-known actors.
It was a funny movie making fun of people who make money by disparaging the United States as a nation. It's not for everyone, but if you aren't easily upset by political jokes, you'd like it.

My family finally convinced me to get on facebook. I was really un sure about it because I was on Myspace and hated it. But, this is a bit different. So, if you have a facebook, you can keep up with my weird daily activities.

My New Year's Resolutions
It's the time of year when people make promises to themselves for the new year. Although I ususally live one day at a time, I guess I could make a resolution.
I thought about it for a while and many ideas came to mind. Lose weight. Get in shape. Finish all my ongoing projects. Spend more time doing things that are productive.
These were good, but the one thing that I believe I will resolve to do in 2009 and beyond is to spend more time with God. I need to pray more and read my Bible more often. I think that this is what I need more than weight loss or anything else.
So, there it is in black and white. I guess I'd better get to it!

Lori Kottenbrook Parks like a Madwoman!!
Okay, while I'm on the subject of parking cars, I can't end before mentioning my sister-in-law, Lori Kottenbrook. She is by far the most itneresting car parker EVER!! Even her kids joke about it. One day I was taking Lauren and Mary to the mall. I saw a space open close to the entrance so I headed that way. When I got there, a car had taken up two spaces. A motorcycle would've had trouble getting in there. All of a sudden, Mary says, "That guy parked worse than my mom! I didn't think it was possible!"
At this time, I had no idea what she was talking about. So, I asked. Mary proceeded to tell me all about Lori's unusual parking skills. It seems that she has trouble maneuvering her vehicle at a 45 degree turn. So, she ends up splayed across the line in varying angles. I really didn't believe this until I actually went to the mall with Lori a bit later. She came to the intended parking space, cut CLOSE to the next car, and ended up over the front and side lines. Mary slapped me on the back with a "What did I tell ya!" look on her face. We both laughed.
So, if any of you see Lori in the parking lot, watch it!!
*I love you, Lori!!!

An Irony
I posted about my parking last night. This morning, Vaughn informed me that someone must have backed into our Suburban in the parking lot because there was a dent in the back fender area. Wow! All I can say is...It wasn't me!!!

Continuing Update
December is almost over! I keep thinking...I gotta go to bed cause I gotta go to work tomorrow. Then I remember...I'm on vacation!! Yoo Hoo!
Today was Sunday. It started out a bit rough. Dixie, our yellow lab, pooped all over the carpet by the door to our bedroom. More importantly, the poop was so disgusting and rank that the smell was what woke us up from a dead sleep at 5 a.m. Vaughn was a bit cranky after that. I just lit eight candles, covered my head with the comforter, and went back to sleep.
When I woke up, Vaughn was still cranky. I gave him one of my famous pep talks and he seemed mildly better (although not to the untrained eye!) I made coffee, which was heavenly! I got dressed, changed my shirt, then changed my jewelry. I put on my make-up (cause I didn't want to scare the natives!) Then, I went to church.
I taught my Kid's Church class, which went really well. The story was about how Mary and Joseph left the 12 year old Jesus in Jerusalem for three days! Yup, three days! What was great was that Jesus was astonished that they didn't look for him in the temple in the first place. (So many people lose their kids...and many lose them for more than three days. Some people lose their kids for a lifetime. They don't raise them up in "the way they should go" and they "depart from the straight and narrow way." The thing is...never stop searching for them. You'll eventually find them and with God's help...you'll bring them home.)
After church, I ate an omelette. Then, I went to the Sunflower Market with David. We bought vegetables and whatnot. David caused a mango avalanche while juggling three pieces of the fruit. This bothered him because his OCD couldn't handle the mess. Plus, he couldn't get them to fit back onto the shelf like he wanted. Anyhoo...
I came home and then went to my mom and dad's house. I talked to John about starting a Youth Service on Sundays. Yeah! I looked through my mom's jewelry boxes for some old jewelry that I had misplaced. Found it! By the way, MOM, why don't you ever wear the Kukui Nut necklace that John made you? It's totally unique.
I came home and began the preparations for sushi. Me, Andrew, Donovan Reeves, and Scott Lepelman all made sushi from veggies and ahi tuna. It was good. Fun. All that and more. Vaughn told us that the best thing about sushi was the soy sauce. (Sushi doesn't have soy sauce, he pours it ontop to drown out the flavor of raw fish.) HAHA
Well, that was an overview of a typical Jennifer Sunday. Hope you enjoyed it. I did.
