 Dear Vicki:

My jade did the same thing a while back- I was definitely giving it
enough water, but I though perhaps the roots were not drinking it, so I
took it out of the pot and looked at the root ball.  WHile it appeared
fine, I put it in an outdoor shade garden for the summer (hot, humid
Iowa), and fresh potting soil in the fall, and it returned to normal. 
Maybe it was just bored? :)

PS- if you do give it an outdoor vacation, be sure to do so in steps so
the heat shock doesn't kill it (learned the hard way :(. )
