Jessica replied to mombat's discussion APS Snow Day Make Up Survey

"I have 3 students - 2 elementary and 1 high school. I voted for option 1. I wholeheartedly disagree with extending the school day, as I did when it was done a few years ago. It might be useful for elementary, but I think not for middle and…"

Anyone have a referral for a wallpaper hanging professional in ABQ? It's for whiteboard wallpaper - we want an entire draw-able wall for our office. I did a search of the site and couldn't find anything...if there's another thread, please let me know.Thanks!See More

"Brad was really great - took a LOT of time with me, explained a lot of things. Very wholistic approach to health. I was very pleased!!!"

"Is Dr. Bryant's office good with "younger" folks too? I'm 34 and have a first-ever visit there on Friday - with Brad. It was the only place that could get me in before, oh, 2026 (or so it felt)."

Even Higher Than We Thought...

I was looking through one of my favorite celebrity gossip sites, UK's The Daily Mail, and came across an article about actor Seth Rogen's recent weight loss.

He is quoted as saying: 'I'm somebody who can barely breathe in Los Angeles, which is at sea level.

'I can't walk up a flight of stairs. Albuquerque is at an elevation of about two miles and the air is very thin.'

Was all the filming at Sandia Peak?

A couple of years ago I switched my boys to a new league for playing soccer. We had been with another league but I just got tired of the antics - and found that Zia Futbol is a great place for my kids to have fun and learn the game.

And while spring soccer usually involves some cold games and practices (it was SNOWING during our last Friday practice!) we can usually count on some gorgeous days as well.

I love watch my children play, of… Continue

Albuquerque Aloft at Apache Elementary

I just arrived home from a lovely morning at Apache Elementary School, one of the schools that participate in Albuquerque Aloft. Hot drinks, breakfast, and beautiful balloons - I couldn't ask for a better place to be.

Enjoy the photos!…

Maybe you're in a hurry most days, or you just don't think about it, or you think it doesn't affect you because you don't have children. Maybe you really need to get where you're going, and there are too many of them, and it's oh so annoying to have to be slowed down this way Every. Single. Day.

But I am begging you - PLEASE be more aware of school crossings around Albuquerque, especially around middle and high schools where there are no crossing guards.

Fire in my yard...blech

Posted on July 31, 2008 at 1:04am 3 Comments 0 Likes

Pretty soon I may not have a house TO sell.

I've been lamenting that my house is in month 4 of being on the market. To add to the bad luck? I was just awakened in the middle of the night by a doorbell ringing madly; it was a neighbor telling me someone had set a small fire in my yard. Especially given my chronic insomnia, I was not happy about my one chance at slumberly bliss being messed with (I really want to use other language here but I am trying to keep it clean).

I… Continue

At 5:21am on August 28, 2008, Jessica said…: Robin actually I've applied for all 4 of us. For my sons actually it would be kind of a "co-insurance." So far, my application has been "lost" (I applied July 17) and I have to call today to see if my sons' application is still around.

Nice to meet you today. Hope your schedule allows you to join the choir!

At 4:08pm on June 7, 2008, Randy said…: Are you still looking for work as a technical editor? What other types of work would you be interested in? I have been known to help a few folks get a job. I know the former contractor I worked for at Kirtland AFB has technical editor types. I don't think they have any openings now, but I would be willing to watch out for any.

At 6:55pm on June 6, 2008, Jessica said…: Thanks for stopping by my page! I was born in Charleston, but actually lived in a little place called Big Chimney. My summers were mostly spent in Huntington, where my great aunt lived. I loved the rose gardens there - what a beautiful place!

At 6:07pm on June 6, 2008, Chris K. said…: Anyone who is West Virginian by birth is good by me. As a matter of fact my son was born in the same town I was, then we moved here one month later. All he knows about West Virginia is that it is where Nana and Pawpaw live. That and he cheers for the Mountaineers.

At 9:07am on May 4, 2008, Jessica said…: Ha, well, I have to admit, most of my activities revolve around my kids ;) That being said, I do enjoy the stuff like BioPark, Tingley Beach, and museums, even without my boys. If you're into racing at all - or just enjoy cool cars - I hear the Unser museum is pretty cool - my kids have gone but I haven't made it over yet.

One thing that I enjoy when I can is going to a concert at the Sandia Casino amphitheatre - it is a nice small venue and it is a great place to spend an evening.
