What you may or may not know about me...

I don't know if you all know this, but I'm kind of a big deal.  I have many leather bound books...my house REEKS of rich mahogany.  I have FIVE followers of my wonderful blog.  That's right people...five.  I have hit the big time.  I guess that means that at least five of you know how amazing I truly am and will read whatever drivel I choose to post.  Toot Toot!  That's my own horn if you didn't catch that.


But seriously, I wonder how many people really know me.  I think a lot, but who knows really?  So in the interest of partially full disclosure I am going to reveal some things about me and you can give yourself a test to see how well you know Jeni.  But don't cheat and be all "I totally knew that" when you totally didn't, cause I will know and call you a liar liar pantalones en fuego to everyone.  Then no one would ever trust what you say and you will end up sad and alone when really all you had to do was tell the truth.


This is going to be like in that magazine that I can't remember where they do, The 25 things you didn't know about so and so...except I am the so and so and its not in a magazine and I can think of 35 things.  I would be interested to know your score.


1. I will and do eat peanut butter and jelly straight from the jar with a spoon.  There are equal parts of each and I savor each spoonful.


2. I love peanut butter and honey sandwiches. (I am hungry if you didn't notice)


3. Any time I see a report of or hear about abuse of children it haunts me for weeks.  I can't get the images out of my head.


4. For years after my dad died I had two recurring dreams.  One was in black and white and has both a large TV style antennae and green blood as a feature, and the other has a train town style train in it which brings my dad to me.


5. I am a loyal friend and will defend my family/friends to the hilt.


6. My family says 40 loves to each other all the time and are very loud and overwhelming, aka awesome.


7. My dream would be to stay home with my kids and raise them.  That is more important to me than any job ever can or will be.


8. I am a registered democrat but vote by issue, never along party lines.


9.  I have trouble losing weight cause I like to eat too much.  However I did lose 22 lbs at Weight Watchers and kept it off for years until I had kids.


10. I love my mom and love to hang out with her.  She is an amazing person and people who talk bad about her make me want to punch them in the wiener.  So just don't cause wiener punches are not fun.


11. I really dislike people who are self righteous and/or cowards.  Don't be all I'm so great, when really you are just a crazy ass.


12. I have a great sense of humor.  I also use the term "I peed my pants" when something is really funny, but luckily have never actually peed my pants....lately.


13. Christmas is my very favorite season.  I love everything about it.


14. I watch waaaay to much crap TV and love every minute of it.


15. I only snuck out of the house one time when I was a teenager.  I was much to afraid of my mom finding out to try.  Erin Taylor was with me that one time.  Sorry, but she had to be thrown under the bus with me on this one.  Don't ground me mom cause I am big now and you can't.


16. I was a totally annoying thankless teenager...like they all are.  But now I rock so it all worked out in the end.


17. I love to watch HGTV but my house looks nothing like those fabulous homes 

18. I am never on time...I get there when I get there and that is the time I was supposed to be there. I don't like to be told what to do by the clock.  

19. I remember a lot of random facts and can recite them when needed. For instance, did you know that a newborn baby will maneuver themselves to their mothers nipple without help if allowed to do so...

20. I may or may not overreact sometimes

21. I love to talk to my friends but I suck ass at keeping in touch with people.

22. I believe that my family comes first and forgiveness is key. Some people are just different.

23. Karma is a bitch and she will have her revenge so be careful how you act and what you do cause it will come back to bite you in the end.

24. I rearrange my sandwiches so that you get some of everything in each bite...really, how hard is it to make a evenly distributed sandwich.

25. Mushrooms are disgusting, they grow in poop and make a weird sound when you eat them...gross.

26. Farts are funny no matter how old you are and really everyone likes their own brand...don't even front like you don't. LOL 

27. I treasure my friendships and like to think I work hard to keep them even though I suck at keeping in touch (see item 21).  I guess I do since they have been around for more than 25 years.

28. I try to be a good christian but sometimes its hard when certain people are not incinerated by bolts of lightning.



30. I take my kids and niece and nephew to see "kid" movies as an excuse to see the movie myself.

31. When someone is doing something that I deem stupid or weird I just say...they're just different. So if I say that about you, know you are acting like an idiot.

32. I have a fear of stealing and can't even accept too much change without having to say something to the checker...karma again.

33. I love Sonoma and have no desire to live anywhere else, ever.

34. My dad died suddenly of a heart attack when I was 8 and so I am always aware that every time you say goodbye to someone it could be the last time, so always say 40 loves. 

35. I like to tease people mercilessly...so don't do foolish things and I won't be forced to teased you. Sometimes people really force my hand.

36. I can't stand it when people spell things wrong, like your and you're.  I am the spelling police.

I hope you enjoyed this list, I think it's pretty great.  Post your score...or don't if you're lame.
