Join me as I spend the whole day annoying and alienating my Husband!

Today's writing prompt wants to know what my internet search history is...

Today you learn that I don't do mornings...

I Wrote them, you read them (thanks btw) Here are the top 10 most viewed blog posts of 2018

Listen, I’m a frugal gal who likes to stick to a budget, so if I can get a steal of a deal, I will. Below are some of my favorite items I have acquired 2nd hand.

A recreational to do list while my husband is away for work.

"As for me and my house, we serve the Lord and the Chicago Cubs...." This past weekend on a whim, my husband and I decided to go to the NFL wild card game between the Houston Texans and the Indianapolis Colts. My football appreciation starts and ends with Super bowl Sunday. I’m there for the food, commercials and half time show. Because I am not a diehard Texan or Colt fan (even though I grew up in Indiana) I went to this game with no expectations other than a fun afternoon a

Today I am 31 and 2 months old, and we check in on my Mid-Life Crisis Bucket List!

What do 20189, carbs, glitter, cats & Rain have in common? Recovery!

New Year, not so new me! Now for your reading pleasure here are the resolutions I should make, but wont, because who wants to start the year off with a lie!

Today I turn 31. I’m too old to play in the ball pit too young to run for President of the United States but just the right age for a quarter life crisis...join me as I attempt to reason with time.

Well ladies and gentlemen, we did it. Another All-Hallows Eve is upon us. What, if at all, do I dress up as this year? In my research for Halloween greatness I have found there to be several categories for casual dress up and yet I seem to fit in none of them (story of my life). Let us explore these unwanted categories together, shall we. Category 1: Family friendly dress up Kids make dressing up on Halloween socially accepted and more fun when you are an adult. But, unless y

So, what to do with a movie you paid 10$ for and never want to watch again? You post it for free on Craigslist and see if someone is crazy enough to want it.

My husband recently had a run in with a concrete barrier in Austin (thankfully, he wasn't hurt) and needless to say we’ve found ourselves in the market for a new vehicle. Yay, debt . The universe knew that our car note was almost paid off and thought, "Not today young savers, not today." The car buying process is never fun, but Matthew and I have completely different visions of what an acceptable vehicle should be. So naturally we had a blast. The process took a year month.

Dear Readers of the {ish} Adventure, I have a confession to make. Are you sitting down? I, Jennifer Lynne Shidler have never  seen the movie E.T. The Extra Terrestrial, Snow White, Citizen Kane or 85 of the other movies listed on AFI's 100 GREATEST AMERICAN FILMS OF ALL TIME list . I’ll give you some time to calm down before I continue. Are you settled yet? Good now? Ok, lets move on, shall we! Now, I know what you are probably thinking, “She’s lying, there is no way at th

5 Things 20 something Jennifer could do, that 30 something Jennifer can’t (shouldn’t) do. Pizza after 5 pm . College freshman Jennifer would have A 5$ large pizza from Papa John’s delivered to Blumberg hall at 1 am to aid an all night study session (oh hey there freshman 15 50, how you doin'). 30 year old Jennifer needs to clear her schedule the next day as well as stock up on Tums and Prilosec if she plans to eat pizza after sundown. Paint my own toenails. I used to change

The phrase “There appears to have been a struggle” comes to mind when describing my fashion sense. I have never and will never claim to be a fashionista. If you dug out my senior yearbook right now, you would see me listed under the best dressed category.  In fact, the only section you will find me under is class clown, which oddly enough not only describes my winning personality but my train wreck fashion concept as well. Back then (and now really) I would describe my fash

…..Just because my body has stopped moving a mile a minute doesn’t mean my mind has..here is a pretty accurate sequence of events each night in the Shidler house hold…No I am not kidding and yes, my husband does hate me 9:30 PM- What did I eat today that will come back to haunt me at 3 am. When did I become old enough that eating pizza after 10pm would be a bad idea? When did I become old enough to say the statement "when did I become old enough?" …Better get the tums out jus

Because you should totally take advice from me, the Ariel of six flags hurricane harbor, Arlington Texas. First and for most, I must say I had a blast with my girls, De-bor-ah and Liz lemon, celebrating Debbie's birthday!! The bond we share, (the side eye, awkward laugh, this is why I love you, what had happened was, no ma'am, donut getting, know what the other one is thinking or looking at without having to say it out loud kind of bond) is a friendship like no other. Sec

....because being practical and flying is soo 1903.. Ahh, the great American road trip; hours of ispy, rock, paper scissors and STOP TOUCHING ME, that childhood memories and divorces are made of.  Nothing tests the strength of your patience and marriage more than sitting side by side in a car with someone for 18hrs. 4 years ago when I married a private pilot, I thought my long distance driving days were over. I could not have been farther from the truth. So today I bring you
