Sassy Fun: It's good to break the rules....

Can't have a real pet here in this nearly-ghetto apartment, so I have to settle for this:

Sassy Fun: Yay! And now I will return to normal blogging....

My sister, her husband and their kids are safe and if that wasn't sweet enough, their home withstood everything and they even still have their electricity. Thank you to all who said prayers. We are all so happy and grateful.

Now on to what has been rattling around in my head....

Regarding names again, I've been getting chuckles out of the nicknames that stars get. For instance there's J.Lo for Jennifer Lopez (duh! I know....) and then I heard of LiLo for Lindsay Lohan. The latest I've heard is JenGar for Jennifer Garner. And that got me to thinking....if I was a star (I think of this often....one of many things that probably makes me delusional) what would my nickname be? If I was a tech geek I'd be inspired to make a "Star Nickname Generator." But I'm not. I'll leave that to the ones in the know.

My first thought was, "JenMar." Jenmar. Jennnnnmmmmaaarrrrrr. Lemarr. Mallowmar. Jenmar....sounds odd. Not that JenGar is better. But JenMar....I just don't know. So I moved on to my maiden name and came up with, "Jenspe." Other than being a little hard to manipulate linguistically, once said orally it sounds very close to "Penske" which leads to a mental flow of consciousness to yellow trucks. And I am decidely not yellow nor a truck, thank you very much. If I was a rapper I could use my middle name and be called, "JDawn." That's right...whose your mama.....JDAWN!

But I think Jenspemar would be it. JenSpeMar. Or not.

Sassy Fun: Smudgemama is the youngest...

Just wondering....is this something I should be happy about? Especially because I am the youngest of three.

You Are Likely an Only Child

At your darkest moments, you feel frustrated. At work and school, you do best when you're organizing. When you love someone, you tend to worry about them. In friendship, you are emotional and sympathetic. Your ideal careers are: radio announcer, finance, teaching, ministry, and management. You will leave your mark on the world with organizational leadership, maybe as the author of self-help books.

The Birth Order Predictor

Sassy Fun: Smudgemama doesn't get to travel too much.

Thanks Susie!!!

As you can see....I've led a very sheltered life....those states in red are the ones I've visited (or in Oregon's case, lived in!)

Sassy Fun: Hah...in your face!

I'm still reeling from the fact that I wasn't anywhere near them when this event took place but I had to share this photo from the same event.

The story is, having seen Kid Rock up close and personal, I swear up and down that he has blue eyes and others tell me that I was just lust-struck because he has brown eyes. Whatever....here's my proof.

Sassy Fun: Cool Link Wednesday....er....Thursday

I was so proud of myself....I was introducing blogging themes to my days. For instance, Wednesday would become "Cool Link Wednesday" and Thursday would be "Sassy Mommy Tip Thursday" and such. Sort of like those old school home-making traditions: Monday is Wash Day, Tuesday is Ironing Day, Wednesday is Fix Yourself a Martini Day, Thursday is Shoot Yourself In the Head Day.

Well anyway.....so I finally find something I feel is worthy of linkage and it's after midnight, thus I'm now on Thursday and not Wednesday. I will press on though.

So today (pretend with me that is Wednesday) the link I find share-able is from The Imperfect Parent and, specifically it is the WTF? Toy Round-Up page. It makes me laugh. 'Nuff said.

Sassy Fun: This cheered me up considerably.....

You're Bettie Page!

This is "Pissed-Off-Piper-Post-Advantage." I gave him his Advantage flea treatment and now he is mad and squinty-eyed at me. Cracks me up. Won't even let me close to him now.

Sassy Fun: Demeter

How happy was I to find this quiz and have this be the result? VERY. Are we sensing a Demeter-trend going on for me lately?

Demeter... clever and beautiful, you're the beau of
Munkustrap and best friend to Bombalurina.
You're movements are fluid and jazzy as well as
your voice and you can tell you'll be beautiful
for a long time after you can't dance anymore.
You're compassionate to others troubles but no
one seems to want to listen to your opinions
when they're not popular, maybe it's because
you're always right.


Which Female Character from CATS the musical are you?
brought to you by Quizilla

Sassy Fun: Bizy, bizy

Ever since Phil got me that espresso machine I've been zooming around doing entirely too many things at once and interestingly enough, not answering email or posting to my blog. The house is clean though. Well, sort of...but I feel productive anyway.

We went and saw a performance of the musical CATS here last Wednesday and that was awesome. It felt good to get out and doing something artsy together. My personal favorite was John Boy as Rum Tum Tugger. The program said he had just released his first CD and yet, Amazon doesn't have it. Since I have learned that things do exist outside of the Amazon and Ebay realm, I'll continue to search for it. However....if you know where I can find it, drop me a line.

Sassy Fun: Piggies!

I love this stuff. I got this from Bobopuppyhead. It is a Draw A Pig Personality Test. My pig looks like this. Go to Bobo's site above and the link is under the most recent cartoon (as of today).

Sassy Fun: You Are Demeter!

You are Demeter, goddess of the earth and abundant
harvests. You are very giving and generous to
those around you.
