jennaandsnickers.com has arrived

Posted Wednesday, August 27th, 2008 by nycgadgetgirl

screenshot of jennaandsnickers.com A few of you know I’ve been working on a new website recently. Well… ta da! It’s here. :)
nycgadgetgirl.com isn’t going anywhere. I still plan to use this site for my freelancing. All the archives will remain online and I will probably blog occasional personal and geeky things here.

All the dog stuff is moving over to the new site though! Please visit Jenna & Snickers and let me know what you think by commenting on the first post.



Indiana Has Black Squirrels

Posted Friday, August 22nd, 2008 by nycgadgetgirl

OMG, these are the cutest squirrels you can imagine. Unfortunately Snickers thinks they look incredibly tasty. If I am not VERY careful he is going to break one of my fingers and/or get away from me when he sees one of these cuties dashing across the park.

Debbie clicked this photo with her phone when we were walking. Click through to see the next one!

Still a New Yorker

Posted Monday, August 4th, 2008 by nycgadgetgirl

Happily, I apparently get to keep my identity as a New Yorker, at least for now. Snickers and I were taking the garbage to the street tonight and we met some neighbors (a mother, toddler, baby and granddad) out for a stroll. As they approached, the granddad asked “Are you the one from New York?” lol That made me smile.

We chatted for a few minutes about why I moved here and about the town in general. They had fabulous things to say about the school system and said that people move here specifically for the schools, which also made me smile. THEN, just to demonstrate things happen in threes, I mentioned that my daughter would be starting high school this year and the mother said “high school?!? You look so young!” It doesn’t get much better than that. <g>



Blogging Indiana

Posted Sunday, August 3rd, 2008 by nycgadgetgirl

Sorry guys. I’ve tried several times since I got here to write a “now I’m here” kind of post, but my heart just isn’t in it. I will post later, but for now, yes, we’re here safe and sound and trying to settle in.
