Jeneric Jeneralities ~ by JenIG

Ok, I have a lot to say so I am going to make my sentences short.

 

First of all, the two winners for our last Friday Fantastic www.ReasonForSeason.com prize are the following: Sagerats with a temp of 27 degrees, and EndofTheRoad   with a temp of 81. And I don’t mean those were their personal temperatures.  That
would make them dead, or vampires, or alarmingly unwell or something.
No, those were the temps where they lived at the time of my silly poll.
I totally accidentally lied and did not ask my kids to come up with a
temp and match it all up because I still feel lousy and I didn’t want
to make it harder to find a winner than it had to be – so I went with
the coldest and hottest.  Sorry.  What a cheater I am.  BUT
we have an easier contest today, because Generous Jim said that two
more of you can win his nifty twiffty Christmas Bumper Stickers That
Are Not Bumper Stickers But Rather Auto Magnetic Yuletide Dresserey For
Thine Car. They are quite neat-o.  I wish I could win one. So let’s make it easier this time.  To win, just post a comment in this entry and you’re automatically entered whether you want to be or not.  I’m
picking a number between 1 and 50, unless I only get three comments,
then I will pick a number between 1 and 3.  I have no back up plan
if I get zero comments. 

 

Secondly
— actually I will save the second point for later because I will need
MUCH more space to rail against all of you MUSICAL People Who Don't
Recognize A Goat When They See One (it IS a goat. It's a magical goat
that does not sing).  And I don’t mean ‘musical people’, because I don’t have anything against being musical.  It’s you MUSICAL people.  If I was in a store and somebody started singing the price of roast beef to me, I would turn around and run real fast.  The only purpose for musicals is to be laughed at and made fun of, and, as TC wisely counseled: to arm ourselves with some very dramatic songs to sing in public to mortify our children into good behaviour: she even has a whole list of examples written on the subject over on her blog page ( TC you are definitely my kind of girl).  And, by the way, public mortification works wonders for modifying behaviour.  I’ve used it with my husband.  When
I was very large and pregnant and he walked too fast for my comfort I
would start quacking like a duck very very loudly until he slowed down.
I think Gena taught me to do that.  She knows all sorts of good tricks.  However, he has used this technique on me as well.  Not the quacking thing, other, more horrifying things that he’s done in public that I shant go into.

 

Now just LOOK at how long this ridiculous post is.  That
only leaves a small snippet of time to invite everyone to bring their
students to the: A SideTracked Focus Bible Study tonight.  It is at 5 pm eastern time. I think. I would ask Coie but she is sleeping right now.  It is almost ten am and she is snoring like a jet engine.  I think she caught my whatever it was.  Gross. But she’ll still be there  www.ASideTrackedFocus.com

 

And
now, I shall shower. I smell unbelievably bad.  It's been a while
since I've used soap.  I will do you all a favor and not describe
my sticky armpits.

    Momsie, I wasn’t snoring like a jet engine. I was hiding under my blankets reading my new book, and then I took a shower.

    DARN!

    See?! I wound up being second, after Coie! How unfair, I was so excited… okay… now I’m not first, but secerd (second and third together…) and since you are a cheater (see above post to you admitting it…) I’m sure you will qualify both of my entries! a;ldjf;aldsfj;aldsjf;alsdjf!

    Love the quacking duck thing… although my hubby always gets me back and is ruthless, so I’m not sure if I’ll be trying that one or not…

    Hope you’re feeling better! (I’m still looking for the “invisible” first post you supposedly made on my blog telling me you loved it… it’s no where to be found, so I can only assume one of the “other” Jen’s thought she posted it…

    And what is a “pine cracker” anyway? I can only assume you were giving me a compliment, so “thanks”…

    Love ya,

    Amy

    Hey, Sis, Amy's cheating!

    I figured that now that Coie is my adopted niece, that must make you my sister, so as any brat sibling would do, I have to tattle and tell you that Amy is cheating by entering the contest for the cool Christmas car thingies a zillion times! That gives me, the *good* child, far less chance of winning one of these beautiful thingies for my own car. So we shall see if good prevaileth over evil…

    For that matter, I just know that if you had had your wonderful children pick a temperature, they would naturally have said mine.

    MOM, the rest of the kids are cheating!!!!

    LOL,

    Kathy

    Okay, I’m posting so I hope I can get one of those neato bumper magnets. I’m sure you mentioned it before, but where can one purchase one of those stickers if they aren’t one of the chosen and decided they still wanted to embellish the family van?

    Maybe Coie is totally healthy today. Maybe she’s pretending to be asleep, waiting until you shower to bless you with her presence (I don’t think that’s spelled right) Hope you’re feeling better today 🙂

    Comment being posted – I also like Meet Me In St Louis. That is a musical too – in case no one know it. I didn’t see it mentioned. Has anyone seen “The Way We Were” is that a musical?

    Maria – who someday hope to win SOMETHING.

    If it makes you feel better:

    I have NEVER seen the following:

    Seven Brides for Seven Brothers

    West Side Story

    Guys and Dolls

    or most of the other most-oftened mentioned musicals.

    Cannot stand Oklahoma.

    Tolerate Singing in the Rain because of one or two really great scenes.

    However, I can sing along to many of the veggie tales musicals.

    And I could play any of the roles in That Thing You Do. I think I’d make a great Liv Tyler. If I was skinny. and young. and beautiful. And could speak Elvish. Oh wait, wrong movie. But now we are talking MY kind of movies!

    Oh wait – this post wasn’t about musicals was it? Nope – it was somehow about your stinky armpits and I am NOT going there again. I thought we had this out. Don’t make me come over there with my duct tape gun. Sheesh.

    I want a prize! Can I have a prize? You DO NOT have a clue as to how to differenciate between a Llamma,goat, and deer. I may not have spelled that big word right, either. At least I know my critters. Tell Disco Doug to let me have a pet skunk, will ya?!! Please.

    Commenting so I can win something. And thanks for the quacking idea …. I’m 8 1/2 months pregnant and my husband leaves me all the time. I’ll have to try that tonight.

    Mmmmmm…..

    What is that delicious smelll???? Oh.. it’s my muffins I nearly burnt while reading Jens’ blog. You see what you do to me? I get all caught up in the funnies that I can’t stop! By the way, I could never be the first to comment living on the West Coast and we get up around 9:00am. And no comments about how late we get up. It just happens that I need my beauty sleep as I creep up on 40yr, oh and that I’m up until the wee hours of the morn blogging. Terrible addiction I have. How do you ladies do it?

    I’m not even sure my hubby would let me put a neato bumper thingy on the van, but I want one anyways! Well, really I’m just bored because two children are sleeping and two are outside. I could get things done, but one of the sleeping is in my lap, so poor me has to suffer at the computer reading blogs and leaving meaningless comments….oh the sacrifices a mother makes to allow her children to sleep! Hope you get over the “gross” stuff and thanks for taking that shower….a bit more time and we might have gotten a whiff all the way here in Delaware!

    My husband’s business magnets were stolen off his car two nights ago between 12:30 and 7 am. (Right after we did some midnight leaf raking and bagging.) Therefore, we need something to replace them!

    I am NOT a theatre person. I am a classically trained, hoighty toighty musician who appreciates music of many genres, including musicals. Therefore, I still love musicals and you still stink like a goat that doesn’t sing.

    I WIN! I WIN!!

    OH Goody! I win! I can’t believe I won! How very exciting. To think, I can drive around town the envy of all who follow me! I may have to make a bumber magnet to go with it that says, “I won this nifty swifty neat-o bumper sticker that is not a bumper sticker but a magnetic yuletide greeting by entering JenIg’s Friday contest and you could have to if you HOMESCHOOLED!” Ha ha! Or as my dear Boy 2 likes to say, “Na nanny boo boo!”

    ???? Just how do I claim my prize? This isn’t a virtual yuletide magnet is it?

    Thanks for being sick Jen! Tia

    I am not a musical person either (though I still say it’s a deer, and it probably does sing Jen!), but anyway….The Phantom of the Opera movie that came out a bit ago…the one with Emmy Rossum and Gerald Butler….now I absolutely loved that movie, so then I had to read the book, and now I am a true ‘phan’….because I also have the soundtrack, scary huh?! =o)

    Just try it!

    I'm posting my comment

    And I love musicals. And I totally agree with the part about their being useful for embarrassing whatever family members need to be embarrassed at the moment. We make up words to our favorite songs and apply them according to whatever is appropriate at the time.

    And, um, you should pick me.

    Yay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You're back

    I missed you yesterday. Please, keep your germies there and don’t send them here. In fact, if you would do me a favor, please when you visit my blog, just don’t breathe, I’m trying to serve coffee to my guests and friends. Thanks. ;^)

    (ohhhhhhhhhh I am bad aren’t I? First it would appear as though you get no sympathy from me for being sick, and then I assume you will visit my blog/coffee shop. Hmmmmm????)

    You know, I have never actually had a bumper sticker—or bumper magnet. This sounds like a good place to start!!!

    Glad you’re feeling better.

    Maybe Les Miserables is too good to be considered…

    a musical, but I dare you to go see that and not cry at the end. Have you heard the song “Bring Him Home”? “God on High, hear my prayer. In my need you have always been there…” Gives me the chills.

    I love musicals though. My kids and rented every musical on VHS that our library has. LOL

    Have a blessed night! Tami

    Someday I will blog about my grinchy husband, Chumpy, who thinks all Yuletide decor should be displayed starting December 24 and taken down on the evening of December 25.

    I just wanted to say I’m glad you’re feeling better.
