Happy Birthday

Today’s my birthday… and I’m thirty-six.

Leading up to today I was thinking about what I should blog about. Thirty-six wishes for the coming year? Thirty-six things I would like to do this year? I debated. I procrastinated.

Then it happened… my dear husband made a card for me which listed 36 Things About Jennifer. I thought I would share his insights with you (even though some are embarrassingly true). So sit back, relax and enjoy some odd tidbits about me.

36 THINGS ABOUT JENNIFER

1. She makes fancy Christmas cards!

I used to cut and fold paper… now I just use photos and do them up on the computer.

2. She’s a good cook.

I’m glad he thinks so!

3. She’s a cutie!

It doesn’t take much to be cute when you’re 5’2″ and your husband is 6′ tall! 

4. She has healthy teeth!

True. I had my first (and only) cavity when I was thirty-two.

5. She’s a wonderful mom!

I try my bestest but what mom really thinks she’s a wonderful mom?

6. She’s really competitive.

YES! I am insanely competitive. I don’t like this characteristic but I can’t help it.

7. She excels at Legends of Zork!

My husband got me hooked on it. Now it’s a daily activity.

8. She also excels at using Excel!

Ha! Ha! Yes, if an Excel spreadsheet can be made, I will make it. I LOVE Excel!

9. She can talk like Donald Duck!

A little. I just have a few phrases I’ve mastered… that’s all… really.

10. She sews fun projects!

I love to sew. I’m a fabric addict too – I have more fabric than completed projects.

11. She’s a popular blogger!

Ummmm – I don’t know about that.

12. She’s a keen student…

Yup – I love to learn.

13. And so she has a Bachelor’s Degree in something!

I had to laugh at this… he’ll never remember that I have a Bachelor of Applied Human Service Administration Degree.

14. She can do yoga thingees real good!

Okay… where does he get this from? He’s never seen me in yoga class (when I’m wobbling in tree pose).

15. She’s really clean!

I try to be.

16. She’s organized!

This is because of the Excel spreadsheet thing.

17. She has squeaky eyes!

Creepy hey? I rub them, they squeak… it’s disturbing.

18. She takes a nice picture!

Does he mean I take good pictures of others or does he mean I photograph well??? Never mind, I think he means I take good pictures of others. I rarely photograph well.

19. She’s a super wife!

Awww. That’s just because he’s a super husband.

20. She’s a child care legend!

Eighteen years in the same profession will do that for you.

21. She likes to garden!

I do… although after years of trying, this past year was my most successful.

22. She loves French food!

Of course I do… I’m French!

23. She loves the mountains!

Oh my goodness… I wish we could go twice a year to the mountains. I can’t get enough of the Rockies!!!

24. She is not legally considered a dwarf!

I’m 5’2″!!! That’s nowhere near dwarfism.

25. She likes U2 and Sarah McLachlan!

love U2 and Sarah McLachlan!

26. She likes to wear jammies!

The minute I get home I jump into my jammies.

27. She knows how computers work!

I’m a do-it-yourself kind of gal… if something’s wrong with the computer I will tinker with it. My husband on the other hand, runs away and cowers in a corner.

28. She’s allergic to cats and won’t tolerate lactose!

Cats make me sooooo sick and milk upsets my tummy.

29. She has been a featured painter!

Once. When I was in highschool a painting I did of a purple iris was showcased in the public library. Then the same painting was displayed in my school’s office.

30. She likes wine and Lays potato chips (separately or together)!

Yummmmmmm! Wine… potato chips… bliss!

31. She sometimes falls down.

I can be a little bit clumsy at times.

32. She loves shows about feisty pioneer girls!

Little House on the Prairie. Anne of Green Gables. Christy.

33. She likes to go green!

I‘m all about greening up our home and our world!

34. She likes to knit!

Yeah but I’m terrible at it!

35. It’s her birthday!

Indeed it is!

36. … And we love her!

Yay!

So there you have it… some things you didn’t know about me.

A side-note, I wrote this posting while listening to a CD my hubby gave me for my birthday… Florence + the Machine (LUNGS). I love it and highly recommend it!
