Ultimate Blog Party, Part 2

Somehow I missed the instruction where one is suppose to introduce oneself. How did I, of all people, miss an opportunity to share about myself? Oh well, this will give me the opportunity to display the other Ultimate Blog Party badge that is oh-so adorable… and it gives me the opportunity to link to myself: click here to read my first Ultimate Blog Party post.

Ultimate Blog Party 2008

Now, about me. My given name is Jennifer. Some call me that. My common name is Jenny. Most call me that. My lazy name is Jen, and I think it is the sexiest of my 3 names. Anyone is free to call me that *ahem*. My friend Lisa calls me “Fun Jenny” and “Jenny Supa-Star Ingram”. I have even been called “Crazy Jenny”. I think the conversation went something like, “You know ‘Crazy Jenny’! Yeah - 2 arms, 2 legs… yeah! Crazy Jenny!”

I have been married 13 long *breath* years (that’s for you, baby). I have an 8 year-old, a 5 year-old and my youngest will be 3 next week. I thank you for that comforting pat on my shoulder. Yes. I am a brave woman. I am a “SAHM”, and I challenge that I am actually not home all that often.

I am 35 and have braces. Good Times. I turn 36 in October and am declaring 2008 the 20th Anniversary of my 16th Birthday. I like lu-huuuuuv to dance. I have acquired a love for half-marathons and triathlons… something my junior-high self would have never believed.

Is that enough? I just bought 4 bras and 8 pairs of unders yesterday. How’s that?

Enough about me… How about YOU… leave a comment! I promise I’ll return the favor :)

It’s a Virtual Par-tay!

Literally. It’s virtual… because it’s an online party. It is virtually a party, but not in my home. Rather, on my computer - and yours - literally, um… virtually. I’m confused. Maybe I should put down my martini… While I’m setting it down - why don’t you click on that pink box just under this… I’ll wait, but comeback. I’m possessive, and I want you to make a comment. I am also self-absorbed and needy.

Ultimate Blog Party 2008

I love parties. I love going to them, throwing them, even crashing them. Me? Party? Yes!

So, just as it is fashionably late to arrive to a party… I am arriving to this one late - so as to be accused of being fashionable. Plus, I had a lot to do. Look:

Party dress - check!
I know. Snap.
Vino - check!
Vino

Noble Pig, you have had influence. I bought this bottle based on bottle appeal (look at that monster - he’s cute!), and I read that little info card thing… just like you have suggested. It said something about cherries (yes?) and blackberries (yes?)… If I remember correctly. Anynowho… I like both of those, and red wine when it comes to color (I have so much to learn!). And it was $13ish, about $5 more than I typically spend on a bottle. Enough. Next…

Forks - check!
Forks

So, I’m a plastic utensil party girl. Sue me. Me and my people don’t have people who serve and clean for us, so… plastic forks it is! Sorry earth. I’ll work on my carbon footprint when I’m not gettin’ my party on.

Straw-rockin’-berries - Chizeck!

Disco Ball - Check!

This is my virtual contribution… Like *tosses hair*, every great party has a disco ball… yes?

And there it is… my effort to “bring it” to the Ulitmate Blog Party. Oh, and there are prizes. I never win, but I don’t care. I’m goin’ to a party!
