Now boarding those with OCD and small children…

I have to admit, I’ve never really paid attention to the boarding instructions prior to getting on an airplane before. Usually, I’m too busy pressing my nose against the nearest window, examining every visible inch of the plane for signs that a wing might fall off or a tire might burst during take-off. After that,…… Continue reading Now boarding those with OCD and small children…

New Year’s Resolutions

Every year I make New Year’s resolutions. And, every year, I fail to follow through on them. I just realized that it is January 22 and I have not made a single resolution. I guess that is a failure in itself…failing to follow-through before I even start. The ultimate fail. Well done, Jenna, well done.…… Continue reading New Year’s Resolutions

General Tso Chicken, Peking Duck.. and oh yea, Roadkill Delight

In general, I have a hard time eating at buffet restaurants. I mean, who really wants to eat somewhere that has sneeze guards protecting the food? No thanks. Not to mention the unruly children that will lick the serving spoons and put them back…or pick out the fruit they want with their grubby, grubby little…… Continue reading General Tso Chicken, Peking Duck.. and oh yea, Roadkill Delight

Personally, hotel pools creep me out. Pools in general creep me out, but hotel pools are the worst. People try to reassure…… Continue reading Hotel Pools = Death, well sometimes

Hollywood came a knocking…

…And I said NO. It’s official, I’m an idiot. What was I thinking!? This could have been my big break. I could have been the next big reality star… like Kim Kardashian… or maybe even casted in a new Real Housewives franchise… Real Housewives of Chittenden County. Don’t lie, you’d watch it, I know you…… Continue reading Hollywood came a knocking…

Like flying isn’t scary enough…

…Now I have to worry about finding needles in my food? While eating my lunch today, yea I know, sick coincidence right? I found an article on CNN titled ” Dutch, US authorities investigating needles in airline sandwiches.” No, I’m not kidding. A passenger on a Delta flight (need I say more?) from Amsterdam to…… Continue reading Like flying isn’t scary enough…

To eat or not to eat…

That is the question. No, I don’t have an eating disorder, but I do ask myself this question more often than I’d like. I think everyone has standards about the food they eat, the restaurants they dine-in and perhaps who they will allow to prepare their food. When you have OCD, especially the form that…… Continue reading To eat or not to eat…
