Tag you're it.
(you read it, now you are suckered into it...)
Thank you Brooke. You have made me do this. :) I always forget to do these and it is hard to take the time once i am home. I figured i would start it with good intentions to actually post it. The rules are...
Choose a minimum of 7 blogs that you find brilliant in content or design.
Show the 7 winners names and links on your blog, and leave a comment informing them that they were tagged...
List at least 10 honest things about yourself.
And in no particular order:
10 HONEST things about myself
1) I went to a live taping of FRIENDS in 2003. That is right people. Season 9, the One with the Days of our Lives Cast Party. It was beautiful and i loved every second of it and L.A. Plus not to mention, i was a sophomore in college, skipped class and spent what was a cold day in Texas on the BEACH in California. Not to0 shabby for Jenna...
2) I can fall asleep at the drop of a hat. Jealous? Truly. I am one of the lucky ones. Gimme 5 minutes and i am out. You just get me comfy and i am done.
Thank you Mother for that quality.
3) I met my hubby thru coaching basketball, which i cannot play...
4) While i really like my job, i wish i could be a photographer and events coordinator. And sew. And craft all the time. And be a really good painter...and take cooking classes...
5) We made fun of our friend Katie for years (actually, we still are) because of an incident in high school where she was making out with her boyfriend under a blanket while we were all sitting on the couch together. 3 couples: 1 couch...SHEESH GET A ROOM! THEN she went outside for an hour to make out with him more and out of our delirium and frustration we sang our version of Christina Aguilara's "Oh Holy Night".
6) One Christmas Day, back in 2000, the entire city of Texarkana, TX was blacked out b/c of a HUGE ice storm that came thru. After piling on layers upon layers of clothes and inviting friends over to sit in front of the fire, i ended up spending the night huddled around a small candlestick in my upstairs bedroom playing scrabble and drinking hot cocoa with Emily. We played until we were spelling in our sleep.
7) I have a weird fascination about what pregnant people look like. Curiosity? sure...
8) My favorite past time is sitting in Barnes&Noble with Emily and looking at tabloid magazines, drinking coffee and judging celebrities...
9) I really like to make random videos (dancing, singing, acting like animals, whatever really...) to usually embarrass me to the core if people were to see them, but at the same time i am ok with public humiliation. stay tuned
10) I have all 5 of my children's names picked out and i don't have any children.
I tag these 7 people:
Holly Wynne, Emily, Blaire, Christie, Stephanie, Anita J, Ali,
...and hubby
and anyone else reading this!
I also tag this crazy cracker b/c she has been MIA!

Great post!!
And way to cave into the tagging pressure!
I am so glad you caved in! That was a really fun post. I feel like I got to know you better. I laughed, I shook my head, I took a big drink of my soda before I read number seven and used all the self-control I could muster to keep from spitting in on Keith's computer...
Good stuff. And number nine made me feel a little giddy since I came here directly from responding to your comment on the Puppy Love post. Go look at the response, you'll see why...and there are time stamps to prove it! (provided we both have our blogs set to CST)
Thanks for the tag! You made this fun. I'm actually wanting to go read it again. That's a good tag post, sistah.
Awwwww, I want to judge celebrities with you sometime! I MISS you! You are magic. And since I tagged you first like three years ago, I'm just going to consider it the response to MY tag.
SOOOO jealous you got to see a taping of Friends!! I LOVE that show and LOVE LA!!
Also- I'm totally with you on #4... I wish that could be my life too!
what's your e-mail and I'll e-mail you my wonderful "date" story! ha!
mine is kelseysutherlin@gmail.com
Done and done.
I am working on my 25. Almost done with it. In the meantime, I tagged you back. It's up on my blog. It says 4th folder, 4th pic, but I say art folder 4th pic.
Jenna, I don't know if you do any work with yarn, but I was shopping on eBay and these stitch markers made me think of you. I got a really good laugh. Hope you do too.
Happy Birthday friend!!! I hope you have an awesome day!!

Awesome post! I'm glad I found this blog! (This is my first comment as a SITS chick).
I LOVE FRIENDS!!!! You lucky duck... and Barnes & Noble is pretty much my favorite place to be...even though it's like 40 miles from where I live. >.< Oh well.

Great stuff!

I love Texarkana!! My mamaw used to live there and I would visit during the summer, catching lightning bugs and bullfrogs, what great memories!! She lived on Belt road.
I love B&N! Congrats on your FB day =)
Oh yes, walking into target and not buying anything IS quite a success!
That Friends taping thing is pretty cool bragging rights. And wow.....I wish I could fall asleep at the drop of a hat. :-)
Anyhoo, I have fond memories of books stores as well with friends, and your blog name is uber-cute.
Loved Friends back in the day..and love LA so much. Great post.
Here from SITS I can so relate to #8 I'm not really into tabloids but I love spending time in B&N

What a fun post to read!
Whoa! You got to see the taping of a show! How cool is that? I don't know anyone who's ever done that.
Happy SITS day!
Cute post. :) I like how you use colored fonts--it's just enough, and not overkill. :)
You came up with some terrific honest things. :) I know when I have to do stuff like that I can only think of things that are seriously, without a doubt the most lame and boring things on earth. Good job! :)
Hi, visiting from SITS!
OMG, how cool that you got to go see a taping of Friends! Love, love, love that show. :-)
You're formula for measuring success is spot on!

LOL, on the bright side--at least you're not one of those poor women who you hear telling about how some person walked up and asked, "How many months are you along?" even though they're not pregnant. Can you imagine?
People, they're the worst--as Seinfeld would say. :-)
Congrats on being SITS Featured Blogger--I love your unique style! :-)

GREAT list. I love a list and yours is awesome. Scrabble rules and yes I am jealous you can fall asleep so quickly!
I have a good friend that can fall asleep at the drop of a hat too! I hate going to movies with her...she always falls asleep in them. LOL
Lovely blog! :-)
you are very good to take the challenge. i am the blog where memes go to die.
;-)
I would have so skipped classes too to see a taping of Friends! I'm so jealous!!!
Great post!!!
I'm SO jealous that you went to a taping of friends. Like, SO jealous.
Happy SITS day!
You're so lucky that you fall asleep quickly.
Happy SITS day! :)
This was fun to read...
1. I am successful when i immediately put up the dishes that i put in the sink.
Gee, looks like success is more elusive than i think..LOL
Right on--- and I am Jealous of number two!
Oh, I love those things.
Friends, wow. HOW FUN!!
Scrabble - great way to spend a blackout day!
Happy SITS day!
You are whimsical indeed!
I love Barnes & Noble too.
Happy Sits Day!
OK my question was not answered! LOL I DO love scrabble though! :) If you're on facebook we should play sometime!!!! :)
That sounds like a fun little challenge. Though I'm new to blogging and maybe if you've already done it a thousand times it would be boring. But It's a great way to get to know people.
Are you a Dallas Cowboys Fan? y BF LOVES, and when I me LOVES, I mean the obsessed type of love for the Cowboys!!
Quite the range there...hey, at least you got to witness a piece of history. Wait, Friends isn't considered history???
Good Post Fun to Read I will have to brave it someday to write a post like this.
good to know you a bit better
What a fun post- you sound as random as the little divas and I are. Glad to meet you from SITs.
I thought only men could fall asleep at the drop of a hat??
Its a SITS stop!! Love the list - Yes, jealous about the Friends taping most definitely. I also LOVE sitting in the local huge bookstore, having a bucket of Starbucks and every crappy gossip magazine I can find. Can do that for hours!
HAPPY SITS DAY!
This looks like fun- I might start it up again if that's okay. I love Friends too! Never saw it taped though.
Happy SITS Day!
This is very honest :) Love it!! Where did you get married?!
This is fun! I love learning more about people with these fun tags!
Interesting post. It's great that you got a chance to attend a live taping of Friends.
Stopping by from SITS
It was fun getting to know a bit more about you!
Happy SITS day.
Well that was fun!
I am so jealous of #2!
I was tagged last week, but there were no instructions & I didn't know what the girl was talking about...so I did nothing.
Fun stuff about you! I wish I could fall asleep at the drop of a hat. Maybe it's just the "mother" in me always with one ear listening to the kiddos. Enjoy your day in the SITS spotlight!
See that was easy, wasn't it? Didn't hurt too much and we all learned something valuable about you. I do wonder if that candlestick kept you warm on the black out Christmas or if it was the scrabble?
but the question is, why go to target at all if you dont need to buy something?
loved your list, I am not v good at these tagging things either!

nice memes. I am the same way with checking voicemails. By the time I decided how to check the voice mail on my new phone, I had messages going back 4 months. I'm guessing they were not urgent :D
I am so jealous that you got to see Friends! How cool is that?! Just stopping by from SITS!:)
So jealous that you saw a live taping of Friends. Never been to LA :( Hope to get there someday soon I hope!
I am so jealous that you got to see a live taping of Friends! It's my all time favorite show!
Target is the Hellmouth for my wallet, my 2 alarms have to go off for about 45 minutes before I get up but eventually I do, and I'm jealous of your Friends taping adventure. Own all the seasons in a BIG wooden gift box and watched all 10 years, the last 3 with my best friend.

I wish I could fall asleep like that!
I am jealous! I love sleep but it's fleeting.
You have great self control if you can walk into Target and come out with nothing - either that or you forgot your wallet ;)
*L* I'd have loved to go to a screening of Friends!
Great post! So glad to meet a fellow Texan!

I fall asleep pretty quickly too - I think it's from years of daydreaming in school (practice for the real thing). Unfortunately, I usually wake up many, many times during the night (but I nearly always fall right back to sleep again).
Happy SITS Day!
I honestly never got into Friends until they were done with the series. Now I think I have seen every episode on my breaks at work.
That was cute! Glad you tagged yourself.
Enjoy a Totally Tremendous Thursday!!!
hi Jenna! I'm visiting from SITS to say hello (day late, sorry!). Hope you enjoyed your day as FB! :-) You have a terrific blog!
i do enjoy reading tag answers!
Congrats on your SITS feature!
I LOVE Barnes and Noble too!
How cool! You got to see a taping of Friends. I loved that show! :) I like #10 too... I had only one name picked out way before I even thought about having kids... it was a girl's name, and I ended up having a boy. Needless to say, we couldn't decide on a good boy's name until I was 8 months pregnant! :)
I am so jealous that you got to see a taping of Friends! I love that show! And I would consider it succesful IF I could to go to Target and not buy anything...I even get sucked in by their cafe!
I'm with you on #4 - really enjoy photography more now, keep a camera in my car and put up lots of Wordless Wednesday scenery shots!
Happy SITS day!
Yup, nothing beats sitting in Barnes & Noble with a cup of coffee (for me it's tea) and reading magazines. I could do this for hours:-)
I too love looking at celebrities. That is their purpose right? I love the photos at the bottom of your page!
I have some rather embarrassing memories of things my friends and I did with our boyfriends or girlfriends while others were in the room. You would have made fun of me as well.
