Q is for what you do with your quiet time: I read my Bible (I read it through every year.) and pray after I exercise--around mid-morning. R is for biggest regret: The death of my daughter, though I couldn't have changed it. Her 13th birthday was Saturday. S is for status: "And they lived happily ever after" Married. Happily. T is for time you woke up today: 7:50am. U is for what you consider unique about yourself: Don't have a clue. V is for vegetable you love: Home-grown tomatoes--although I guess that's really a fruit. Squash--I like squash a lot. W is for worst habit: I don't know--there are several. X is for x-rays you’ve had: Dental, stomach, neck (Do MRI"s count?). Y is for yummy food you ate today: Moon Pie!!! Z is for zodiac: I do not believe in or follow this, but I'm a Virgo.

Annie and Momma tagged me for this meme awhile back. Today seemed like a good day to post it! I am not posting or following the rules. And I'm not tagging anyone, but please play along if you want. Now, if you remember, Jenna is a variation of my middle name, so I am going to use Jenna.
J- Joy. Joy is very important to me--especially after a couple bouts with clinical depression. I may not always be happy, but there is always joy in my heart--it may be deep down and harder to find some days, though. !!
E- E? Who can think of anything that starts with an E? Oh, I know--Elegant. I have always wanted to be this, and to have an elegant home. I'm not, and I don't, but it would be just lovely.
N- Not fair that I have to do two of these. Normal. I am just about as normal as they come--average, average, average.
N-Nurturing - towards my kids and hubby anyway. My heart's desire, above all things, is to be a good wife and mother.
A-Alias--Jenna is my alias for this blog. Can you tell I used a dictionary to find this word?

I haven't done a meme in a while, and this one looks fun. Thanks for the tag, Kim
1. Accent--I don't have one--but if I had to say, it would be Midwestern, I guess.
2. I don't drink--anything alcoholic. I also don't drink diet anything.
3. Chores I dislike--anything in the bathroom--yuck. I particularly hate scrubbing the shower stall.
4. Pets--don't have any. We used to have a lovely Golden Retriever named Riley.
5. Essential Electronics--computer and Chi flat iron.
6. Perfume--Tommy Hilfiger's Freedom. I used to always wear Eternity. I haven't been wearing perfume for the last year or so.

OK, so I'm signing in to say that I am signing off--for a week or so. B and K are headed out Sunday night for an AIM missions trip to Miami. The twins and I are going to Missouri to visit with family. So, look for me back here on July 30th--unless I get a hold of some Internet service while I am up there. Don't count on it, my friends. In order for you to have some interesting Jenna factoids to read while I am gone, I am posting this meme that came through the email via my lovely and wonderful cousin/friend in Missouri. (I'm going to stay with her, so I have to be extra special nice when I talk about her!!) Right, Ang? And, please pray for her as she has had extensive surgery on her left hand due to rheumatoid arthritis. It's a nasty disease that she's been fighting since we were teenagers--we're the same age. And when you pray, please pray for complete healing as she is facing the same surgery on her right hand next year, and has already had her feet operated on. ( My mil has this too, and could definitely use prayer.)

- that He is omnipotent (all-powerful), omnipresent (everywhere at the same time), and omniscient (all-knowing).
- that He is the one and only way that anyone can ever have eternal life. There are no alternate routes--no matter what anyone else might think.
- that He is forgetful--of our confessed sins, that is. No one else can forgive and FORGET the wrong things I do, except Him. The Bible tells us that not only are our sins taken from us as far as the east is from the west--but He also forgets them. I'm so glad He never finds it necessary to bring up our past--EVER.
- that He died on the cross for ME. And if I were the only person ever--He still would have done it. He paid a debt He did not owe. I owed a debt I could not pay.
- that He is in the miracle-working business. He wants to give us the desires of our hearts--and to heal our diseases, marriages, etc.
I'm not tagging anyone, but I would love to read yours if you play along. Just let me know when you've posted yours and I'll be right over!
Labels: Meme
- Here is how to play: If you had the opportunity to do a 1-year internship in a company or field completely unrelated to your current career or specialty, what would be your top 5 choices?
- I would love, love , love to sing alto in a southern gospel singing group. Sadly, while I am decent at reading music, and I have sang all my life, I do not have a star quality voice. This would be my ultimate dream come true, though.
- Don't you think it would be really cool to be an ice cream taste tester? Sadly, I'm lactose intolerant.
- It would be really fun to be a tour guide at a place that I really love and know a lot about--like maybe Laura Ingalls Wilder's home. Sadly, I don't live in Missouri anymore. ( Not that I don't love Mississippi!)
- I would love to be a book reviewer and a proof reader.
- I think it would be really cool to go in and help people organize their lives--kind of like Mission Organization on HGTV. Do you suppose that would mean that I would have to get my house a little better organized?
I realized while doing this that I really don't have big-huge-income-bringing -job dreams--These are all pretty normal type things--don't you think? Except maybe the Southern Gospel group thing. And on that note (pun intended), I'm off to listen to a little Crabb Family and to practice my alto!
I think I will tag: Laura, kittyhox, Sonya, and Amberly.

- Link to name of person that tagged you.
- Include state and country you live in.
- List top five favorite local restaurants.
- Tag 5 other people and let them know they've been tagged.
OK--we live in a small town--Mississippi in the United States--so I am not going to list local places--I am also going to list all time favorites from other locations we have lived--I hope you don't mind. I'm such a rebel--like someone else I know!!
- Lambert's in Sikeston, Missouri--Home of the Throwed Rolls. If you ever get a chance to go here, you should really take it. Yum. Good home cooking--and something called "Norm's Pass-Arounds" that come free of charge and are brought around to the tables and they will dip you some if you want--these include things like fried okra, macaroni with tomatoes, fried potatoes and onions, etc. They also have locations in Ozark, Missouri and Foley, Alabama. The atmosphere here can't be compared. A blast.
- Tomato Street in Spokane, Washington--I have dreamed of going back here since we left Spokane 7 years ago--it's the first place I would head if we ever get to go back for a visit. This is a wonderful Italian restaurant with the best Baked Spaghetti. I also learned what Spumoni was here! Delightful! Oh, and I almost forgot about the Strawberry Lemonade--to die for.
- Ruby Tuesdays--I love, love, love the salad bar at Ruby Tuesday. Supposedly, our town is going to get one of these--it's been the rumor for a good year now. Oh, how I wish this would happen. The closest to us right now is over a half hour away. This makes me sad. No MSG here, which makes it a fave for hubby.
- Jason's Deli--Nothing beats this place--great deli sandwiches and a salad bar that closely rivals Ruby Tuesday. They have a lot of organic foods here. Plus, everyone gets free ice cream. We have to travel over an hour to get to one of these. Also no MSG--big points for this family.
- Cracker Barrel--My favorite thing in the world to eat here is the Chicken and Dumpling's, Fried Okra, and the green beans. Yum--I may just have to stop by a Cracker Barrel in Memphis this weekend. The closest one to us is an hour away.
OK, I am supposed to tag five people. This is hard--I think I will tag
Mandalyn --the south, Laura--east coast for now, Christy--the south, Kittyhox the Pacific Northwest (which is where my beloved Tomato Street is), and Military Mommy--California, for now!

I was tagged again for the Random 7. Sweet Sara at The Estrogen Files is the culprit--actually, I am only to glad to comply! Here we go:
- My first car was a 1976 yellow Ford pinto. Ugly as sin.
- I love to watch Little House on the Prairie.
- I was not allowed to go to movies or school dances when I was growing up. The first movie I saw was, "The Gremlins" when I was in 7th grade. I had gone to my cousin's house in St. Louis for the week and they went. My parents never knew about that.
- I have a floating kidney. I can't believe I forgot that one. ( This means that it is not attached as it should be and flops forward in my stomach when I am standing or sitting. It is in its right place only when I am lying down. I was born this way--apparently.--I didn't know about it until after my first pregnancy caused it to shift or something.)
- I do not wear sun glasses--I don't like them. I read once that your eyes soak up good things from the sun and it keeps you healthy.
- Have I said before that I'm not a water person? I would like to be--it really does look like fun--sort of... I usually sit on the sidelines and watch. Waterslides are fun, but once is enough for me. I make myself go for the kids.
- When I have to sleep away from home, I usually can't fall asleep until around 3 am. When we are on vacation as a family, we do not schedule early activities. I just about "die" when we have to get up before 8 or 9. We are getting ready to go to the Chicago area for JBQ Nationals, and I am already dreading the wake up calls! I've tried sleeping pills for trips, but they make me feel worse than if I hadn't slept.
And there you have it-7 totally random and boring things about me!
Have a wonderful day.

The weekly planner pages below are where I write all the daily things I have to do--errands, appt., housecleaning chores, JBQ study, etc., - go on the left page. The right page is where I keep track of my daily water drinking and my menu plan for the week. I have a separate notepad for my grocery list.
The monthly planning page is where I see the big picture. The month below is August--the only thing on the calendar so far is my hair appt. (I keep my hair appts. 6 months in advance--it is necessary with my hairdresser--and I would just about have to be on my death bed to miss an appointment because there's usually no getting another appt. until your next scheduled-- just ask Mandalyn --our hairdresser is extremely sought after-to say the least.)
And that about does it for me--I would really love to have a palm pilot--nothing fancy--it would be a lot easier to carry with me. I would especially like to have the menu-grocery program they have for palms. I doubt I would stop using this, though. I'm a pencil and paper kind of gal!
Labels: Meme
- I still take the top crust off my bread when eating a sandwich--never did like the tops. That top part is always harder than the rest--I love the sides and bottom of the bread.
- I never touch sugar-free anything--not gum, candy, soda, ANYTHING. That stuff will kill you. Aspartame is bad for the brain. That's my public service message.
- I plan on buying and driving a red Mustang convertible just as soon as the kids are grown and have left home. It's how I plan on dealing with Empty Nest Syndrome. I hope Fo*rd straightens up before then.
- When I was in high school, I was a part of a group of kids that sang "We Are The World" at several events in our town--and I sang "Friends Are Friends Forever" with a friend at my high school graduation. Great memories. I wouldn't go back for the world, though.
- I did not leave the state of Missouri for any reason until I was 17. Where's there to go when you are already living in God's country?
- I do not like mustard or pickles. They do not taste good with anything or by themselves. The best condiments are ketchup, mayo, and onion--along with lettuce and tomato.
- My favorite dessert is a mix of fresh peaches and strawberries--all juicy with sugar-- poured over yellow cake. My grandma always did this while I was growing up--and the taste of that always brings back memories of my grandma--whom I adored. (She passed away nearly 3 years ago.)
Now, here's the deal--I am supposed to tag 7 people, but I think that everyone I know in the bloggy world has already been tagged--if not, please feel welcome to join in--and let me know if you do.

This is the spot where my purses hang--just inside the door from the garage. ( Note my favorite sign!) I am carrying the black one right now--the brown one is there for me to switch to if I am feeling the need for change. The black one is really dressy and probably should be saved for my Sunday Go-to Meeting, but I'm too lazy to switch to the more casual brown one!
Here's my bag in all it's glory. It is made by Worthington, and I bought it at JC Penny.
And here's the inside--it did not want to stay open--so I took another picture with everything on the outside:
Here's a better look at the contents--Big Red (I don't do sugar-free anything--but especially when it comes to my Coke), Chocolate- covered Altoids, keys, inhaler (for my son), compact, lip gloss/chap stick, Advil, wallet/checkbook, a Sharpie (for a project I was working on last night) and my church pen. I was so thankful that I had just cleaned out all the trash this past weekend. My family tends to use my purse as the communal trash can when we are out.
And There you have it--my Purse! That was fun--so much so, that I think I will tag a few folks myself. Of course, Mandalyn and Coach J--and I have to tag Annie. Anyone else that wants to--please let me know when you've posted.

- Look around!! Describe to me the very first handmade *gift* your eyes run by that was made for YOU from one of your children. Then, tell me why you have it displayed where you do.~~There are, literally, no hand made gifts anywhere around me. Not a one, if mine have made anything, it is put up somewhere. Mine never went to school where they made special things for parents. They did give me extra special valentine's this year. You can read them here.
- Looking back on our childhood, we all can remember something we *always* wanted as a kid, but just never got. What is the one thing you can still remember to this day that you never had the *joy* of receiving? ~~ Carrie, this is hard. I'm trying...I, honestly, can't think of any particular thing I wanted. We sure didn't have much, but I don't remember a thing. I guess, as a young teenager, I wanted my parents to buy a VCR--they finally did though. I did always want to be a part of a particular crowd at school and that never happened--does that count?
- What is one phobia that you have that others may find silly? I'm not talking fear of snakes. I mean *silly*, as in, others just don't get why on earth you're scared of *that*? ~Again, I can't think of anything silly that I am afraid of. I think most can kind of relate to the things I'm afraid of--I fear dying young like my mom did. I am sometimes afraid that somone might break in my house and hurt me or the kids. I fear someone walking into a public place and pulling out a gun and shooting me and/or people I love. You know--nothing particularly silly. Maybe, I'm afraid that someone might see me without my makeup or that I will become overweight!!
- Name one saying that you made up out of the blue. Nobody in the general public would know what you meant by it but your family is all too aware of exactly what you mean when the words spout out.~ I'm not that creative to make up my own saying. I copy the sayings of others, though, like, " You snooze; you lose!" and "Treat your family like company!", and the one I'm most famous for, "You can get glad in the same pants you got mad in!"
- You have the power to grant one miracle to someone outside of your own family. This miracle can not be frivolous. Who would you grant this miracle to. What would the miracle be? How would you go about granting it?~~ has to be some ONE. Hmmm...Carrie, you must have really had fun with these...All that I can think of at this moment is that I would like to see Annie's Izzy healed. If I were the one granting, it would happen in the blink of an eye! One second--she'd be completely restored!
Well, that was fun! Now, the way this is supposed to go is for anyone who wants to be randomized by me to let me know in my comments. I will come up with 5 questions for you and you can answer them on your own blog. Join in, it's a good time! And let me know when you have your answers posted so I can come see! And thank you, Carrie, for the questions! I enjoyed it.
