About Jen

Jen isn't quite sure when she lost her mind, but it is probably documented here on Meditatio. She blogs because the world needs her snark at all hours of the night... and she probably can't sleep anyway.

Reminder

I’ll be participating in the Green Blogathon starting tonight and going until tomorrow night.

Besides the expected SPONSOR ME PLEEEEEEAAAAASSSSEEEEEE plea, I’d also *LOVE* for people to come on over and leave me comments. If you want to be my cheerleader, IM me, OK?

Oh yes… if I get more than $500 in pledges, I’ll post a picture of myself dancing to the Numa Numa song.Â? (Some incentive to pledge.Â? :P)

Lenten Resolutions

(Idea taken from Rachel)

Ash Wednesday is in a week so I’m starting to think about my Lenten fasts.Â? (Could someone also remind me to make pancakes on Tuesday so that I can bond with my Anglican side?)

What I’m giving up
I have no clue at this point.Â? Probably soda since that *will* be an interesting fast for me as a Coke addict.

What I’m taking on
I’ll be working through a devotional book that my mother-in-law gave me and I’ll also be doing two squares a day for afghans for Afghans.Â? I need to cut my yarn stash down and it will be a good way to do so.Â? I can also start breaking apart the yarn stash that Krissy sent me.Â? 🙂

Awesome Mom

I told my mom about what I was doing for the Green Blogathon and asked for any national park pictures she had.Â? I checked my email after being out for the morning and part of the afternoon and found some awesome pictures in my inbox from 14 (!!!) different national parks that she and my dad and brother had been to and had photographed.

My mom is simply awesome.
