Okay, so not a complete reinvention...whew, OLJ (OriginalLoonyJen) is still in there. Singing to wrapping paper. She just went to the gift wrap wonderland with Winnie in the rewatch yesterday.
I've always thought it was so comical how Jen thinks she is some fragile petite little thing. Maybe it is because she is comparing herself to the Rosses, but look at how broad her shoulders are and how wide her back is in this video as she is organizing (from where she was probably even at her smallest!).
That is larger bone structure and I do not mean that in a mean way. She was not fat, but her body wasn't like that of a little pixie.
Oh man...that video...that pantry might as well have been full of
The headless/legless gallery photo that focuses on the baby bump looks ok. Even though parts of her are cut off, it still looks balanced. In Jen's photo, her head is the ONLY thing cut off, then you have Don's mug and a dog head hovering over the bump like they're about to reenact a scene from the Walking Dead. It's much weirder than the example.
I agree. It mostly made me laugh to think that was what inspired Jen and the look she was going for. 😂
Multitasking by walking the dog and going to post office. Such a busy bee.
To wear sweatpants or jeans in the car? Decisions decisions.
Giving away junk from her Popsugar box to her nieces.
Getting Halloween stuff to give to the girls as well.
Packing everything up for trip. They are only going for a weekend, right? Not a month?
Don's (implied HUGE) shirts don't fit into a packing cube, WTF? It's called folding and rolling.
Pillow in a Run Disney bag.
Winnie's toiletry bag. It's Vera Bradley.
Fondling her Thanksgiving binder.
Her long weekend away "work bag" aka, Louis Vweeeeton Neverfull, I believe.
Winnie's walk bag.
So. Many. Bags.
TWO water stands.
Jen's driving so Don can have a "phone call meeting" Conference call, Jen. They're called conference calls.
Buckled in water stand.
Her car is bigger than Don's. Shocking that she would admit that something of hers is bigger than Don's.
Very limited availability for their hotel. No big deal about getting two queen beds instead of a king. Sure it isn't. If it weren't a big deal you wouldn't bother mentioning it.
Dog ailments are discussed.
Beta fish introduction.
Dinner and baseball.
Unpacking all their crap at the hotel.
Discussing their plan for the open house tomorrow. One will be with one girl and one with another. okie dokie.
Muffins thrown about dog hair all over her...Winnie doesn't shed, of course. #OnePercenterLikeWinnie

I am going to be so sad when this rewatch is over. You make my day every day with the recaps!
Agreed! I'm definitely all for a Vlogidays rewatch too, especially with the RadioSilenceLikeJen we're getting...and when we do get little muffin crumbs, it's B-B-B-B-B-Boring.
Gave me a good chuckle because in Jen's blahg post she said she was just instantly inspired when she saw some of his work. Maybe this is what she was going for?
Back to the headless horseman pic...I'm inclined to agree with you Flossy, on Jen cropping it...but when I went to the photographer's site, there were certainly a couple of headless torso pics...
Haha, also tried to upload a couple more pics...one where both parents heads were cut off and both were shirtless. But the bakery blocked them, haha! Why are people so weird??!? We can just be glad they didn't go for that look.
She used to be funnier Now she takes herself or at least her internet stuff so seriously On the other hand, she was affected by feedback from the beginning Makes you wonder why she doesn't quit when she seems so miserable doing it
I think her addiction to the praise might outweigh her aversion to criticism.
One of the things that always stood out to me was how how self-absorbed she was. She rarely thought of going out of her way for Don.
Once, when Jen decided to give up eating cheese, she stoppped purchasing it. However, Don still wanted it for his sandwiches. Oh well, too bad for him.
When she stopped drinking coffee, she let Don's supply of K-cups run out.
These are just a couple of examples I can think of. I remember the whole "Jen takes very good care of me" grossness happened after Don got sick. I cannot remember the exact illness-was it the flu in Utah? Jen also showed very little care when Don got the ear infection while on vacation in DR.
For crying out loud, if JEN gets the sniffles, her mother, in-laws and Don all send flowers and Don has to feed her in bed. Don will then purchase some extravagant gift just to cheer Jen up.
There is just SO MUCH to dislike about Jen. I have watched her from nearly the beginning. I liked her for about 6 months. By 2011 it was clear to me that the more she shared about herself, the more I grew to dislike her. She is one of those people who would have done better to keep some things private and not share as freely as she did.
Or when her back went out right after Don's back surgery.
One last thing about Q o S then I'll drop it until she has a thread.
Her husband treats her like a queen and she makes him out to be a giant pussy man-servant. It's totally uncalled for. He does lovely things for her and she almost makes fun of him for it. He drives her everywhere. Cooks her every meal. Accompanies her on day-long shopping trips. Then she snaps about how he is taking up time at the Aus equivalent of Home Depot or spends all day on his phone while they are shopping.from someone who spends her days snapping WORK meetings. All day.
Ok I'm done!
Never heard of her. But, from the sound of her YouTube bio, I bet Jen would love her...
"As women, we all have an inner queen. To feel like a queen, it's as simple as believing you are one. We should all wear our invisible crowns and remember, a queen never leaves her castle to address a peasant who may throw stones."
This was the last 'check in' lecture - starts at 7:30
She starts out with some good points which are actually fair, but then she starts repeating herself and it starts to sound patronising and rambles on about how life is so precious and anyone being negative is wasting their life.
Also the same video where she mentions getting out more with Charlotte, joining mommy groups and making friends with people in real life. 6 months ago. Poor kid is still cooped up in that damn house in a never-ending loop like Groundhog's Day.
Oh yay, my first thread title! And that pic 🙈 I do not pretend to be good at that! My husband is a graphic designer...he would cringe! But I still kind of love it.
What adventures will Bore-a go on this week??!? Maybe a walk to Starbucks? Trader Joe's for some cart vibes? Tuesday errands? B-B-B-B-B-Bore-a B-B-B-B-B-Bore-a
I love all the new neat stuff they come out with. Guilty. Buying all the things like Jen. I used a cart cover. Not as big or crazy as Jen's though.
I don't have a cart cover, but I do love babywearing. But I also have three boys and am out and about all day errrrday, and my baby doesn't believe in sleep. 😳 But he loves the wrap. He thinks of my chest as an all you can eat buffet, that is open 24/7, so I would get nothing done if I couldn't wear him. And out and about it makes life much easier to have at least one kid strapped down, haha. But he's also seven months old and already pulling up and cruising along furniture, so that doesn't last for long!
Buying all the things like Jen.
