About Me

My photo
I love a lot. I wait a lot. I try to find a lot to laugh at. I don't usually have trouble with that. I pray a lot. I'm not always sure who or what I pray to, but I firmly believe that prayer makes a difference. I try not to panic very often. I try to learn something new every day. I spend a lot of time poking my nose into other peoples' bidness via their blogs. I clean up an awful lot of feathers. You can dress me up, but you can't really take me out. I travel a lot when I can find bird sitters and we take them with us when I can't. I drink, prolly to excess, but I rarely get sick because my body is a hostile environment to germs (or maybe no SELF RESPECTING germ would LIVE in my body?) I collect: gnomes, passport stamps, MONEY-preferably US dollars or Euros, red headed womyn and chicks named Stephanie. My Momma taught me many many years ago that girls don't fart, they foosie. She taught me lots of other chit too. Thanks for stopping by-leave me a comment and let me know you were here, feel free to link to me, or email me at jacquelynn.fortner@gmail.com

Bleme me up Scotty, it's Sunday!



I got a huge compliment yesterday.  El Juevo (pictured above) and I were eating lunch at a restaurant yesterday and this little boy ran by us who had a squeaker in one shoe.  It was precious, squeak stomp, squeak stomp, squeak stomp, so we were laughing and commenting on how cute he was.  As his mother caught up with him, she realized what we were laughing about and started telling us about this lady giving her all kinds of clothes her child had outgrown (I guess I have one of those faces-people seem to open up to me very easily for some reason, and I'll never look a gift BFF in the mouth).  Anyway, she sort of pauses and looks at Alex and me sitting there and asks "Do you two have kids?"  I BARKED out a laugh and told her he is my youngest kid which flustered the snot out of her, but I let her know in no uncertain terms that I love her long time.  Juevo was not quite as amused, as he just focused on the squick factor of he and his mother having kids.  I wish I'd gotten her address-I'd have baked her a cake!

I was scrolling through my reader yesterday and came across an interesting bleme on Sunday Stealing, and fingered that since this is the last day of NaBloPoMo AND a Sunday, I would take the easy way out and use a fill in the blanker.  Of course, as I go through the list, I may choose to expound on some of my answers, so I apologize if this gets long.  Go throw in a load of laundry and pour yourself a cuppa and come back if you feel you should be getting something done whilst I peel away the Seven Layers of me:

Loved reading your answers. I got quite a few stink eye glances from 'Little Miss Grumpy' while having my giggle fits.

Oh, and I've been mistaken for Mini Man's girlfriend before too. He was horrified! HA!

♥ Braja said...

I can't believe you didn't tell me it was your birthday. And that we're almost twins.

Lisa G said...

Great, funny answers. Glad I ran across you!

Rassles said...

I love how you named a drug of the seventies instead of *smoking*.

derfina said...

Freaky Poptart-I enjoyed yours, too! You now have a follower.

Braja-Just another trip around the sun-I'm more well traveled now. *wink*

NurseExec-Glad you stopped in. Hope to see you again!

Rassles-I considered myself very self controlled by sticking to naming just ONE. Those were the days. Sex, drugs and rock and roll. *sigh*

*smooches*

You're a kick. How hilarious that someone asked you and your son if you had children. What a compliment. Once my Dad and I were walking and he had his arm around me and my Mom was walking about 50 paces back and she overheard some women say in disgust, "That man is old enough to be her father!"

oh, and the baby photo is FREAKing me out!

Happy belated birthday! But I gotta say, I'm with your son. Someone once asked my uncle if I was his wife and dude! That is so mean!

Pearl said...

Oh, my but we have some things in common.

Happy Birthday!

Pearl

Strange Pilgrim-the pic makes me do a double take every time I look at it!

gnomespeak-Thankee kindly, Ma'am! And yes, he's wounded. I, on the other hand, am going to give my beautician a nice tip!

Pearl-Aye, but we knew that already, eh? And thanks!

*smooches*
