A Fine How Do You Do

Well hi, hello, how do you do? It’s me, Jenny and this is my blog which I’ve come to hesitantly but by demand.  I'm a writer and this is what we do. So what about me? I am the girl version of Peter Pan. While I am the ripe age of thirty six, and enjoy the maturity, wisdom and hindsight being so affords, I remain the same little girl I was when I was five, seven, thirteen and twenty one, except better. Smarter. Prettier, even (I was a late bloomer.) But I retain the same mischief, whimsy and wonder that I came into this world with.

Here are the two most important things about me: First, I am a wife. I’ve just celebrated my eleventh wedding anniversary with my husband, who I call Rw, Richie Wayne, Sir or when he's in trouble - Richard. Believe me when I tell you being his wife is the best thing I’ve ever been. In some circles, it’s a bit taboo for a woman to identify herself as a wife, and instead is encouraged to have a fierce independence insignia in all that she does, but that’s not me. I am part of a unit and while I am exclusively me, I do not work without my mister. So, I’m a wife. Then, I’m also mama to two little souls who even when they’re naughty, even when I’m covered in baby snot, spit-up and other unidentifiable smears – my reflection in their eyes and the way they show me myself speaks at things like destiny.

And here are other things I'm known as and for: Editor, Daughter, Sister, Best Friend, Aunt Extraordinaire, Godmother, Old Soul, Believer, Gardener, Chef and all around Sage. Those now, are in no particular order.

Some of you will come here and read my writings and rantings because you love me and take interest and give support in whatever it is I endeavor. I thank you in advance. Others will come out of pure curiosity. Others still (and you know who you are) will come for stalking and/or fodder. But I hope all who stumble across this by whatever means and motive will read something that speaks to their soul, gives pause for thought or simply provides a giggle. I welcome all and might just talk about some. All's fair in love and war -- and writing is both. 

And there’s all that. Here we go. This is life through my lens. Buckle up, I’m going to use the F word.
