About Jenn’s ‘tude.

I’ll get to this. I swear. Much like I swear every week that the folded laundry will make it out of the baskets and into the appropriate drawers before I’m forced to steal from them in order to have something to wear.

I’ve kept the above for so long, and like it so much, that i think it just needs to stay.

as for my “tude”, so to speak, it’s the same.  my blog, is as narcissistic as all personal blogs.  it’s about me.  about what i think, what i do, what my kids do.  sometimes i apologize for this.  mostly, i’m just grateful that i can write, and that people occasionally read it.  it makes me feel part of a vicarious, tenuous community when i most need to feel connected.  as opposed to haunting public places with two delightful but snotty (often sick) children.  which is what i have done a fair bit of, over the past few years.

Basic facts about me:

I am the eldest of four children (two raised together, and two welcomed in along the journey). i have two degrees in a subject both beautiful and largely decorative in this utilitarian time (english lit).  i have, at various times, studied, taught, cut up pig tissue, and counted people’s money.  right now, i’m figuring out what it means to be a mom, a process likely to take the rest of my life (as i am discovering daily).

things i enjoy (in no particular order): swimming, running, reading, painting, laughing immoderately at vaguely questionable things, sewing, knitting, EATING, procuring and making things to EAT, really long walks, copious amounts of sunshine, marine environments, ice skating outdoors at my parents’ (i’m learning), my children, my husband, spiritual discussions, biking, designing things, movies, Wii time, knitting nights chez moi, the cabin.  *this is an incomplete inventory, but even i get tired of writing about me.  eventually.
