About Me

stars layout @ HOT FreeLayouts.com love / music / movies / frazy Hot Free LayoutsMy name is Jenn, but most people in Denver call me Ruby. I am a karaoke dork, which somehow led to my singing lead in a (now defunct) band.If you've ever met me you'll know that I'm completely uncoordinated... hence, my current screenname. (My mother's even said she should have named me "Grace".) But I try all sorts of physical activities anyway. The one thing that I am actually somewhat skilled at is dancing of any kind. And I love it. You wanna go, just let me know. I grew up in northeastern Kansas, moved to DC, and ended up here in 2002. I visit my family a couple of times a year and am working on traveling a lot more. There is a small possibility that I may be moving abroad for 2 years sometime in the future. (I'm keeping my fingers crossed for a job offer in Italy.) Or I might just end up moving back East instead. We'll see what happens in the next few months before I start making any big decisions.

Countdown to Upheaval

Ok, so I'm going to have signed on the dotted line for a new job by the end of the month and will be starting bright and early in 2007. I just don't know which job to choose. Why, do you ask. Curre...

Light at the end of the tunnel....

Doc says I've only got another 2-2.5 weeks before he'll take the metal brackets outta my mouth and I can eat whatever I want. Although, he did say I'd have to go to some physical therapy. (Sounds inte...

Slowly but surely

Well I'm back at work, so that sucks. But at least I've got some human interaction now, even if it is primarily with 11-to-14-year-old boys. I've graduated from ingesting only smoothies a...

Yay! I can open my mouth!

I got my wires cut today so I can finally open my mouth.....a whole 1/2 inch. I can barely stick my tongue out, and it hurts a bit to move my jaw at all. I've got another 2-3 weeks before I can have t...

Small gestures

It's amazing what you notice when you have so much time on your hands. For example, in the past few weeks, I've really learned who's a truly good friend. It's surprising that that tit...

Crunk

Okay, so I've just realized that when I go back to work at the middle schools in a week-and-a-half that I'm gonna be superfly. I've got an icy grill now....for a few more weeks...
