Today's Activities

 It's a beautiful day in Gilbert AZ today. 

Yesterday was rainy with a coldness that just chilled to the bone.  That's very odd for this area.  It snowed down to the elevation of about 2000 feet so we were treated with a view of the Superstition Mountains frosted with snow. 

My daughter had her first Girl Scout Cookie Booth yesterday afternoon during all this and it was a tad miserable to be out in it.  She has a talent for sales, she was thrilled to approach everyone that was entering  or exiting the Safeway to buy a box of Thin Mints or Samoas-her personal fav's.

Today's agenda is well underway, I've done my volunteer work for today up @ my daughter's school.  It was expecially needed as they had a substitute, Mrs Procter, a very lovely veteran teacher.

I've done a little work on updating my profile on Google to advance my "author rate" if and when I ever get some page views-this will come I am sure.  I had to log into my Twitter acct, hadn't done that for over a year.  I need to be more consistent about my postings.   Hmmm, that's a word that needs to define my year according to a blog I received today.  Here's her link:  http://clairediazortiz.com/ great article!  So that will be my word.....CONSISTENT

So, this ends today's post as the "Bear" is ready when I am so we can go off and get our provisions from Costco.  It's always a challenge to stay on task with the list of "needs" and stay away from the great deals of "wants"

Hi and welcome to the inaugural post of my new blog!

I'm Jenni, a wondrously flawed child of God or as some have probably said under their breath, a real piece of work.  Either way....I'll own it.  I wanted this to be something that is genuine, life is just too short to be something you aren't.  I also couldn't come up with something super cute and clever to name the blog, things like "Never-ending Loads of Laundry & Dishes" didn't seem very fun to read or write about.
I have wanted to have a blog for a long time and it's been on my list of 2013 goals to create.  Tonight seemed a perfect night to begin.  We had Chinese take-out for dinner and my fortune cookie said: 

"Many opportunities are open to you, seek them out."

Sounds like a great place to start! 

I have some general ideas about what I want to this to blog to be about:

• I want to share stories and  pictures from my life that are funny, sweet or ironic. 
• I want to share my on-going quest to get my house to a state of clean all at the same time for at least 12.5 seconds (warning this is going to be a very long journey). 
• I want to share neat things I come across from other websites and blogs I read. 
• I also want to share a tip, a recipe or a product I love from my business of selling Pampered Chef.

I warn you, I don't know the first thing about blogging, I don't have a mega dollar camera or photography skills or a PhotoShop program and I have next to zero clever craft skills so this is going to look pretty amateur.  I'm excited to learn as I go along, have an outlet for my writing and make a few friends along the way. 
Whoever you are, glad you are along for the ride!
