Thirteen Things Jennifer should...

(this is a fun game where you google the phrase in question and blog whatever comes up)

1. Jennifer should be maintained with care of course!

2. Jennifer should be compensated they couldn't afford me...

3. Jennifer should change her looks I would, but I don't have any good ideas

4. Jennifer should have you on the show My people will call your people...

5. Jennifer should audition for modeling and television really, after the homeschooling, raising the children, cooking, cleaning, romancing my husband, I don't know how I would find the time...

6. Jennifer should have no problem taking out our entire panel with her martial arts skill (in addition to being devastatingly attractive) -kick butt asana anyone?? And the last part made my day...why stop at physical prowess when you can be highly attractive too?

7. Jennifer should be proud of this album which is truly a masterpiece

8. Jennifer should play her first match in Los Angeles Thursday again, I don't know how I find the time...Thursdays are also violin lesson, dance class, besides the homeschooling.

9. Jennifer should have taken more time to put out a better album Well, if I wasn't so busy already with the homeschooling, homemaking, killer karate moves, playing matches...maybe I would have taken the time.

10. Jennifer should have been one of the top vote getters My husband works the polls, but it wasn't rigged, really...

11. Jennifer should quit I have many, many times my friend...

12. Jennifer should make house calls oh, but I do!!-It's in my mommy contract...

13. Jennifer should have won on American idol I think I was disqualified unfairly simply because I do not actually watch the show, or any television for that matter.

Thursday thirteen is a weekly meme, go here to see many, many more!

At 7:48 PM, Anonymous said...: What a great list! I love it. Thanks so much for the comments. The poem you asked about is this one.
This is the poem--I've loved it since a boy broke my heart in high school:

Well, I have lost you, and lost you fairly,
In my own way and with my full consent.
Say what you will, kings in a tumbrel rarely
Went to their deaths more proud than this one went.
Some nights of apprehension and hot weeping,
I will confess, but that's permitted me.
Day dried my eyes; I was not one for keeping
Rubbed in a cage a wing that would be free.
If I had loved you less or played you slyly,
I might have held you for a summer more.
But at the cost of words I value highly,
And no such summer as the one before.
If I should outlive this anguish, and men do,
I shall have only good to say of you."

~ Edna St. Vincent Millay

At 11:29 PM, Hen Jen said...: Jennie, thank you for sending the poem. It is very touching. Real- I guess would be a good word, real but sweet.

thanks for sharing,
Jenny
At 11:36 PM, Hen Jen said...: kailani,

no, none at all. We stopped watching about 4 years ago. Before that it was pretty selective, our kids never watched commercials. We do watch videos tho, we couldn't quite cut ourselves off totally...I don't miss it at all, except for Monk, that had just begun when whe stopped watching t.v. We do rent episodes of Monk from netflix. The kids watch more videos then we do, we just don't have time. When we do watch something, it is usually Periot(Agatha Christy) or Jeeves and Wooster. We went through a thing of 'yes minister'-British, for a while. When the Duggar family was on t.v. I had someone tape it for us, when we had the immigrant marches, we went next door to watch the news for a bit. Now I don't know how we ever had time to watch anything, our evenings are always so full!
