The Moment You Realize You're Not Like Everyone Else

Yep.  I had one of those moments last week.  A moment where I realized I was not like everyone else.  I mean, I've always known that I'm weird.  Michael reminds me on a regular basis.  But this moment was different.

I'll play it out for you. 
Bare with me, if it gets lengthy.

I was standing in the hallway of Isaiah's school last Thursday.  There were about 5 or 6 other parents standing around with me.  We were waiting to go with the kids on a walking field trip downtown.  As we stand there, waiting for them to get ready, we begin some casual conversation.  Mind you, we were in mixed company...a few dads and a few moms.  So, the initial conversation was that of weather, news, and current events. 

The conversation started to dwindle and I immediately went for my phone. 

I wasn't really interested in conversation anyway.  I was more interested in my smut book I had been reading and my thoughts were really on that...what were the characters doing while I was away...what was going to happen next...etc. 

So, I began reading and one of the dads made the comment that in 50 years we would all be old and hunched over from all the years we spent looking down at our iPhones.  I said "yeah, it'll be a new condition called iPhoneitis."  We all laughed a little.  I then said that I'm always on my phone, but recently started reading books on there and it was worse. 

Out of no where, one of the moms mentioned Twilight and how she liked it.  My heart immediately started pounding harder, wondering if she knew that I was a Twihard.  Was she directing that at me?  She went on to say that she never heard anyone talking about it anymore...and I smirked, but inside I was dying...WHAT?!  No one talks about it anymore???  She obviously does NOT live in my world.  I wanted to say something, but WHAT?  What do you say?  "Hello, I'm Jenny and I'm a Twihard...I have the tattoo to prove it."  I'm the girl who has the crazy Twilight blog and I throw parties for premiers and make trips to see Twi-stars.  She obviously did not know who she was talking to.

So, I kept my mouth shut and merely just nodded my head in slight agreement with her.  But she didn't leave it alone.  She went on to say that when she first started reading the books, she couldn't put them down...yada yada yada.  She then asked me if I had read the books, to which I smirked again and felt an immediate rush of blood to my cheeks.  I knew I was blushing.  WHY was I blushing?  Inside, I'm telling myself  "hold yourself together...you can't let them see the crazy."  So, I just smiled and said that I loved Twilight and had read the books...12 times.  WHAT?!?!  Did I just admit to reading the books 12 times??  I wanted to kick myself for letting out that little tidbit of information.  What was I thinking?  I could feel the other 4 sets of eyes on me.  Finally, she spoke back up and said "12 times?"  She had a look of awe on her face.  I was like "yep.  I really love them."  She was like "I guess so". 

I know they walked away from there thinking crazy thoughts about me.

In that moment, I realized I am not like everyone else...in more ways than one.

 

Friday Confessional 4.01

Please don't fall over from shock and awe. 

I'm alive. 

Thanks for the concerned emails and text messages.  I'm totally blessed to have such awesome BBFs.  I'm breaking out of my blogging hiatus to do some Friday Confessions, because Lord knows I've got 'em...AND I need to wish Mamarazzi the happiest FOXXY 40th EVER!!!  Be sure to stop by Mama's page today and wish her a happy birthday and link up to Friday Confessionals.  It'll totally make her day!

 

So, I confess...

• I'm sorry I deserted you guys this week.  I've been wrapped up in a *achem* book...of sorts.  Ok, smut.  I've been reading smut.  It was kinda like "bye bye Blogger...and Facebook...and Twitter" and  "hello Kindle...and iBook...and PC".  I've been reading since Sunday and it was totally owning me.  Plus, there's work and a million other things that I've had going on.  So, sorry.  I swear on everything Twilight that I'll be back to my regular ol' blogging self next week.
• I want just one day where I don't have to be ANYWHERE...no work, no obligations, no one expecting me to be somewhere.  A day of nothingness.  OR a day on a sandy beach with a cute boy named "Edward" bringing me fruity adult beverages w/ little umbrellas.  Whichever.
• I don't really like to accept money from my friends for things...I don't ever really feel like they own me for anything.  If I pay for something, it's because I want to.  HOWEVER, I do like to receive checks from Impulsive Addict.  She always writes on the memo line "pimping".  I feel like it gives me street cred.  I've contemplated asking her to write me monthly checks.
• I know far too much about being a gangsta...all from the rap music I listen to, which is totally opposite of me.  I mean, I'm pretty sure that if any Joe Blow on the street walked by me, he wouldn't say "Man, that girl is totally gangsta."  I'm pretty sure I don't fit the part.  However, I know that if you gotta blue flag hangin' out yo back side and it's on the left side, you're a crypt.  Snoop Dogg taught me that.
• Maybe when I grow up I can be a fly girl?  Remember JLo being a fly girl on In Living Color. 
• I also confess that going out with my 3HOs3 last Friday night was a blast.  Let me give you all a word of advice.  Get yourself some smokin' hott friends (w/ nice assests) because they come with benefits...like free drinks.  However, be prepared to realize that you don't got it...I mean "it".  Because guys will cat call them as you make a run through a bar.  You'll learn interesting pick up lines like "it's gettin' dangerous up in here" and "why you leaving so quick, there's plenty of room over here" and "hey there, bright eyes"...I was just waiting on a lame azz "God stole the stars from the sky and put them in your eyes" to follow.  I think we just nearly escaped that one.  By the end of the night, you'll take a big gulp of reality and know that those pick-up lines were not directed at you and you're never going to get cat called again and no one is probably ever going to buy you a drink...unless you're with your smokin' hott friends.  BUT you'll get LOTS of laughs and you'll almost pee your pants...and you'll have the best girls night.  So, it's worth it.

Hope you all have a FABULOUS Friday!!  I promise to make some blog rounds today...as soon as I finish this next chapter, but I love you guys more than smut, so I'll be around.  Promise.

Friday Confessional 03.25

It's time once again to join up with Mamarazzi for Friday Confessional!


I CONFESS...I wrote these in bed late last night, so they're probably lame.

I also CONFESS...I'm too lazy to type them out, so you get the pics of the note from my phone.

I confess...that I wasn't going to post a FC today, but felt guilty to not link up with Mamarazzi because I love her so much (small girl crush here).

Hope you all have a wonderful weekend!!  *muah*

Do NOT Call Swappers Anonymous

...because you can only help those that want to be helped.

It's like Rule #1 in any addicict handbook.

I'm pretty happy with all of my addictions and obsessions...which include SWAPPING at the moment.

My latest Swap was hosted by the oh-so-fabulous Aly and her friend Molly, titled Spring Has Sprung! 

My swap partner was Jen, aka Legally Bride from A Girl in Pearls and A Boy with Toys.  Get this, her blog addy is http://www.867-53oh9.blogspot.com/!  You're singing it now, aren't you?!

8 6 7-5 3 0 9 (8 6 7-5 3 0 9)

8 6 7-5 3 0 9 (8 6 7-5 3 0 9)


Which is perfect, because we're both Jennys (Jen, JennyKate...it all counts)! 

Awesome. 

Raise your hand if your name is Jen, Jenny, Jenni, Jennifer...I bet there are at least 3 of you.  In school, it seemed like EVERYONE was named a version of Jennifer. 

Which is why I wanted to change my name to "Butterfly".  There was not one "Butterfly".  I just wanted a name that was my own...is that too much to ask?!

Anyjennifer, back to the swap!

Here's what she got me.

• A People Style Watch magazine.  FABULOUS
• Some CA-UTE springy fingernail polish w/ an amazing file/buffer.  FABULOUS

What Was I Thinking?

Last Friday night, I put on a lock-in at our church.  It was something fun for our kiddos on their last night of Spring Break.

We rented an inflatable obstacle course. (fun for lil' and BIG kids!)

We had a visit from Buzzington!

The kids LOVED him and hugged him and fed him his bottle.  It was sweet.  A definite highlight!

I decided to go with a theme and titled it Big Top Lock-In...and, of course, had decorations to match...

and goody boxes.

I just can't help myself.

20+ kids ranging in age from 6-12.  13 hours.  All after a full days work and month's worth of little sleep due to working on the house (house update coming later this week. promise.). 

What WAS I thinking?

I must have been outta my mind.  It was enough to drive a person to drinking. 

Theoretically, but of course we were at church...just scratch that. 

Actually, it was fun. 

We stayed up ALL night, seriously...ALL NIGHT...I had 3 girls who made it their goal in life (accompanied by a 5 dollar bet from a few of the boys...yeah, first drinking and now gambling). 
 
They almost made it.  Just minutes from success.  These were taken at 7:05, a mere 55 minutes before the lock-in was over.  However, they still beat the boys, who fell asleep at 5:00.  They were absolutely giddy when they peeped into the "quiet room" and found the boys snoring.

I played Candy Land about 17 times.  No lie.  I'm pretty much a professional now.

I used to kiss boys at lock-ins.

Maybe that's why I made sure there was an adult in EVERY room at all times. I'm paranoid. No kissing at church on my watch!

Look at these little sleeping angels.

Some of them asked me when we could have another one and I said "next year". They started whining and complaining that we should have one EVERY week. Psh. Yeah, right.

The best part?  Yummy hot donuts in the morning...

yep, sugared 'em up and sent 'em home! 

That's how I roll.

Have you been to a lock-in before?  Recently?  Any favorite lock-in memories?

Love and Rockets,
jennykate

A Little Help From My Friends

I need a little help from my friends.

If you're now singing the theme song from Wonder Years, you can thank me later.  Who used to want to be just like Winnie Cooper?  Raise your hand.  Oh, and is it true that Paul is Marilyn Manson??  This inquiring mind wants to know.  According to Snopes.com, that's a NO.

Anyrandomness, back on topic.

I think at some point in every bloggers life, they evaluate themselves as bloggers and try to see where their at, where they want to go, and how they can be better.  (Yesterday's post was about evaluating readership.)

So, I've been there lately.  Wondering what's my niche?  What am I good at?  What do I want my blog to be?  How am I going to get it there?

I need to know a few things...which requires crowd participation. 

1.  What is your favorite thing about my blog?
2.  What is the MOST annoying thing about my blog? (go ahead be honest.  i put my thick skin on this morning and I'm wearing my big girl panties.)
3.  Do you think I post too many pics and/or videos, just enough, or you'd like to see more?
4.  Does it drive you crazy when I use large or larger text?  What is easier to read?  How about colored text?  I had someone tell me before that red text is unappealing and hard to read.  Since, it's my favorite color, it creeps into my blog posts often.  So, I really want to know how everyone feels about it.
5.  If you could give me one piece of advice regarding blogging, what would it be?

You're all gems.  Thanks in advance for reading and responding.

Love and Rockets,
jennykate♥

McLinky Monday - Who Are You?

<a href="http://therhok.com" target="_blank"><img alt="The RHOK" src="http://i371.photobucket.com/albums/oo160/ajsouthern/RHOKBUTTON-2.jpg" /></a>

Today, on The RHOK, Mrs. Edwards (that's me...hehe) wants to know...who are you?

We're talking in blogger terms...who are you as a blogger?  What do you write about?  What do people like to read on your blog? 

What are the top 10 keywords that bring people to your blog?
Here on JennyKate's Spot, the top 10 searched keywords are:

1. nutrisystem sucks
2. eclipse printables
3. eclipse party games
4. phineas and ferb birthday party
5. swanky stitch
6. twilight tattoos
7. phineas and ferb birthday
8. csn giveaway
9. twilight tattoo
10. brat pack

It's fun to know how people end up on our blog.  Sometimes, it lets us know what people want to read about.  Apparently, lots of people come to my blog looking for Eclipse party stuff, Phineas and Ferb party stuff...and pictures of Twilight tattoos.  My number one searched word is "nutrisystem sucks"...all because of one little post I did about how much I was hating Nutrisystem at the time.  {click "nutrisystem" if you want to read it} Funny.  I had no idea that many people would be googling "nutrisystem sucks".  You just never know what people will be interested to read! (Side note:  I still hate Nutrisystem.)

Also, I asked myself...what is your most viewed post?
Thanks to my Twilight tattoo, my most viewed post is Weekend Recap and Tattoo Pic (circa June 9th, 2009)

Four of my top ten most viewed posts are Twilight related.  Two are party planning posts and three of them are giveaway posts.

Gives you a good idea of what people are wanting to read.

Hope you guys have a great Monday!

Friday Confessional

 I'm linking up with the one and only Mamarazzi for her Friday Confessional.

• I think my body is in shock from not having anything fried this week.  It's just not used to this level of healthy-ness.  I confess that I wrote that last week, before I went and screwed it up.  I had good intentions.
• I confess that I want to start a photo meme, but I don't think anyone would play along...and someone would probably tell me that I'm copying someone.  Plus, every good name I come up with for it has already been used.  Apparently, I'm not very original.
• I confess that I HATE that we now have to add the area code to our phone calls.  I've had to reprogram every number in my phone...and I have to redial EVERY call I make!  SO. ANNOYING.  Do you have to do that where you live? 
• I confess that I remember when all we had to dial was 5 digits to make a local call.  I sound OLD.
• I confess that I can NOT believe that is all I have to confess.  Seems as though I've been on my best behavior. 
• I'll try to correct that before next Friday.

Hope you all have a FABULOUS Friday!!

Shabby Apple Giveaway

Last week, I got an email from the ladies at Shabby Apple and I was SO. EXCITED. 
I have ventured over to their site a few times...browsing, day dreaming, "window shopping".  I love their dresses.  They are so vintage, but modern...and sassy.  I have my eye on several styles.  

They are introducing a new line titled Roamin' Holiday. 

Can you guess what the inspiration for new line is?

Let me give you some hints...pasta (my favorite food group), rolling hills, vineyards, gondola rides, romance, Leonardo Da Vinci, Michelangelo...the Sistine Chapel...

ITALY.

They asked me to write about my favorite Italian painting. I LOVE art.  I was one of the geeky people in high school that took classes like Humanities and Art Appreciation...and went to Operas and art exhibits.  So, this is right up my alley.  I also love the Renaissance...which means rebirth...it just sounds so fresh and new.  There were some beautiful pieces that came out of that period.  Michelangelo, a known sculptor, was commissioned by Pope Julius II to paint the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel. 

From that commission, came this gorgeous piece of art.  No easy feat.  It took him 4 years.  I can't imagine how difficult and consuming that must have been.  This portion of the ceiling is referred to as the Creation of Adam.  It's been used in stationary, cards, books, publications, and television shows.  It highly influences pop culture.  Aside from all of that, I just think it's beautiful. 

So, in honor of Shabby Apple's new line, Roamin' Holiday featuring Italian inspired dresses, they are allowing me to offer one of my LUCKY readers a FREE dress!! 

How exciting is that?! 

Here are the styles you'll be able to choose from...

You can also pick from the little girls dresses: Creamsicle or Pink Panther

They offer dresses in a variety of sizes, for teens, and kids.  Their website is so helpful and easy to navigate.  They have sizing charts, fit guides, and like I said before, they'll even help you find your style!  Shabby Apple also offers vintage-y accessories, jewelry, shoes, etc.  You really MUST go check out their site!

The Things Isaiah Says - Part 2 - Pick Your Battles

Isaiah, who is 7 years old, recognized Snoop Dogg while we were watching Never Say Never (The Justin Beaver Bieber Movie).

Exact conversation:

Isaiah: *whispering as only a seven year old can whisper* "HEY, MOM. That was Snoop Dogg, wasn't it?! MOM, wasn't that Snoop Dogg?"

Me: *whispering like normal people should whisper* "yeah, that was Snoop Dogg. Now, be quiet and watch the rest of the movie."

Isaiah: *"whispering" to his cousin 2 seats down* "HEY, DID YOU SEE SNOOP DOGG?"

Another exact conversation:

Me: You wanna go see the Justin Bieber movie with me and the girls?

Isaiah: Yeah, sure. I love Justin Beaver.

Me: It's Justin BEE-BER.

Isaiah: Yeah, that's what I said...Justin Beaver.

Pick your battles, People.

Some Thoughts On Dieting And Getting Skinny

I've been thinking about assigning a food to my exercises...

This Zumba session is for those fries I'm having later.

These two miles are for that Venti Iced Mocha I'm drinking tomorrow.

These set-ups are for the three slices of pizza I had last Friday.

Maybe if I use that strategy the exercising will seem worth it...like I'm actually getting something for my efforts?!  Well, you know besides the normal benefits of exercising.

Have you watched Zombieland?  It's hilarious.   I also learned a valuable tip.  Cardio is rule #1 in surviving a Zombie attack. 

They eat the fatties first.  Just one more reason to get skinny.

I wish I was "naturally skinny". I want to be one of those girls who HAS to eat a cheeseburger to put on a few pounds.

One last little thought bubble that's in my head - I think if they're going to mess around with genes...altering them and such, they need to focus their efforts in that direction...how to clone the "skinny gene"...and transfer it into a fat girl's body.

Now, that is something that I could support.  I'd even make t-shirts.

Friday Confessional and CSN Giveaway Winner

Areeeeee yoooooooooooou ready for some Friday Confessions??? (said in my best WWF commentator voice)








I confess that I have a skinny mirror.  I look at myself in it everyday before leaving the house.  It gives me the boost of confidence I need to get out the door.  Without it, I may never leave the house. 

I confess that I sneezed banana nut muffin all over the place in the break room yesterday morning.  I could feel the sneeze coming and had just taken a large bite of muffin.  I couldn't hold it in.  I might have choked to death. 

I confess that laundry is taking over my house.  The clean piles REFUSE to put themselves away and the dirty piles ARE NOT cleaning themselves. 

I confess that while walking out of Applebee's a dryer sheet fell out of my jeans.  I just kept walking.  At least it wasn't a pair of bikini panties.  Happened to my aunt one time was at the chiropractor's office.  True story.  When the receptionist picked them up with her pencil and asked to the waiting room "who do THESE belong to??"  My aunt just sat there and looked at everyone else.  I think there were a couple of guys in there waiting with her...they HAD to have known they were hers.  Hilarious! 

I also confess that the winner of my $40 CSN giveaway is...Entry #37 - Becca from The Texas Darlings!!!! Congrats, Becca!!!!  I'll send you your code ASAP!

Have a great Friday!!

CSN Giveaway - $40 Gift Certificate

You guys know how I LOVE giveaways!!  So, you know I was totally stoked when I was recently contacted by CSN to offer my readers a $40 gift certificate to their site!  You'll be able to use the gift certificate on ANY product from ANY one of their sites!

As most of you know, we are currently adding onto and remodeling our house.  So, as I brows through the pages on the CSN site, I see LOTS of things I would love to have.  Something that really caught my eye are these gorgeous pendant lights and globes...LOVE them!!  I seriously wish I would have thought to look on CSN before purchasing mine.  We put in track lighting over our bar area in the kitchen and the nice thing is that it's not ridiculously expensive to change out your globes and give the area a whole new look.  Perhaps, sometime in the (near) future, I might switch mine out to something like this...

or this...

They have some beautiful pieces to choose from.

One other thing I would like to direct your attention to is the new Joss and Main site!  It's part of CSN and they have some super chic and lovely home decor! 

I found this over there that I am going to HAVE to buy...

my new kitchen would just not be complete without it. ;)  It's only 19.95! 

I would also LOVE to have this in my entry way!

They have great prices.

Friday Confessional - 03.04

Like every Friday, I'm joining in with, the woman who is about to make 40 FOXXY, Mamarazzi @ Dandelion Wishes, for Friday Confessional.

Let the confessions commence.

I confess that Pizza Hut, Subway, Arby's, and Taco Bell have cooked our dinners the past couple of weeks. We've almost exhausted our small town selections. So tonight, it's McDonald's or Sonic.

Brown bag special anyone? I'm cooking.

I've confessed before that I often take notes of things that could be on my Friday Confessionals. This is all I had for the week...

So, I confess that I can NOT be trusted to be left alone in a doctor's office. I will steal something...a tongue depressor, some band-aids, cotton swabs...something. It's my way of combating boredom. It's like a special form of kleptomania.

I confess that I've had TWO opportunities to get on peopleofwalmart.com this week.

1st offense - I wore these on my Saturday shopping trip.

They're only like 3 inches too big on the heel. I had been working in the house and wearing Michael's sandals around. Then, I decided to make a quick trip to Wal-Mart and as I stepped out of the car, I realized I had never changed into my own shoes.

2nd offense - I wore blue panties under a light colored dress. Last night, when I walked in the door, Michael said "you did NOT wear that all day". To which I replied, "um, yeah, I did...since when are you the fashion police". To which he said, "you're so gonna end up on the peopleofwalmart.com and I'm gonna laugh". Don't you love his support?? Sad thing is that this wasn't the first time...AND I went to Panera Bread, Starbucks, AND Hobby Lobby like that.

Michael said he's just gonna call me "Blue". Gosh, I love that man.

Look for me on the "new pictures" tab...I'm waiting for my 15 minutes of fame.

I confess that I am back on the diet bandwagon and I've been guilted into feeling the need to go to the gym (*achem* thanks, Impulsive). Soooooo. I guess I'm going to start exercising. I can't promise that I'm hitting the gym or anything like that...that's too much committment, but I do promise that I'll try to do something that burns calories at least 3 times a week.

If Michael reads that, he'll totally be thinking that he's gonna get lucky.

Anything you need to confess?? It's better to get a clean conscience going into the weekend. So, confess already, but make it juicy...even if you have to lie...oh, wait, then you'd need to confess that. More confessions the better, I always say!

Love and Rockets,
