FAQs Part 2: All About Me
by Jenners • 01/25/2010 • Life • 26 Comments
Time for another round of FAQs! (I know you’ve been waiting with bated breath all week so I’ll put you out of your misery.) This is part 2 of questions that you wanted to know about me. And don’t fret, there are more FAQs to come in the upcoming weeks.
What is your favorite go to easy meal to cook for dinner? Do you cook? Do you like it?
from monstergirlee at monstergirlee’s photo of the day
I was starting to answer this question and realized that me and cooking is really the subject of an entire blog post. So until I write that post, I’ll just say pizza is my easy “go to” meal, I do cook as we would starve if I didn’t, and I do not like it. When I write my post, you’ll find out what I’m up against.
Worst job ever?
from 3 Men and a Lady
Probably the year I worked in a marketing company (and I use that term extremely loosely). There were only two employees—the owner and me. On my first day, he gave me a shoebox bulging with cancelled checks, bank statements, invoices and bills and asked me to sort out the company finances. Once that was done, I realized there was only $450 in the company bank account, and payday was next week. Somehow, he always managed to pay me, but the entire year was stressful and horrible. To say that his ethics were a little loose is an understatement. To this day, I believe he staged a robbery to get new camera equipment for himself. I developed an extremely bad attitude and eventually quit without having another job as I just could not take one more day. And even though I was absolutely horrible to this man, he kept trying to get me to come back and work for him again.
Best job ever?
from 3 Men and a Lady
Well, my boss is a tyrant and the hours are bad, but I guess the job I have now is the best one I’ve ever had.
Dog or cat person?
from 3 Men and a Lady
I’ve had both in my life. As far as maintenance and upkeep, I’d go with cats. As far as fun and love, I’d go with dogs. But Mr. Jenners is allergic to both (and swears I am too) so we don’t have any pets now. (When I first met Mr. Jenners, I had two dogs and four cats so I guess I was well on my way to being a crazy cat lady … with dogs.)
Ever been arrested?
from 3 Men and a Lady
That would be no. But here is what I imagine my mug shot might look like.
Can you tell how much I love messing with Face in Hole?This is my fourth post featuring a photo from there I think.
Craziest thing ever done?
from 3 Men and a Lady
This is a tie between having a baby when I’d never changed a diaper in my life and performing a stand-up comedy routine I wrote myself at a real nightclub.
Did you go to a big university?
from 3 Men and a Lady
I went to the University of Oregon, which I think has something like 16,000+ students so yes … I did. Go Ducks!
What would be your “stripper” song?
from Trisha at eclectic/eccentric
“Cowboy” by Kid Rock.
Tell us something we don’t know about you from your everyday blogging?
from Alaine at Queen of Happy Endings
I suspect you don’t know that I can produce turds big enough to clog a toilet. (I’m sure you are now very sorry you asked that question.) (And no … I am not joking. It is a rare talent I’ve been blessed with.)
How much chocolate do you eat a week?
from Lady Fi at on a quirky quest with Lady Fi
Do you want that in pounds? HAHA! Actually, since the new year, I’ve been very good to limiting myself to one serving of chocolate a day. (And a serving as defined by the FDA or whoever writes those nutrition labels. I tried doing my own definition of serving and … well, let’s just say that didn’t work so well.)
What do you want to be when you grow up?
from Lisa at One Hip Mom
A published writer. However, the Little One tells me that I will be his assistant when he grows up to become a scientist.
Are your boobs real?
from Lisa at One Hip Mom
Yes. If you ever saw them, you would have no doubt. But I’m not that type of blogger so you’ll just have to take my word for it. (And by the way, I hate them. I think they are way too big for my frame.)
What’s your favorite kind of toothpaste?
from Lisa at One Hip Mom
Cinnamon-flavored Crest. And this gives me the opportunity to mention that I have never had a cavity in my life! Impressed?
Are you left or right handed?
from Lisa at One Hip Mom
I’m left-handed. Mr. Jenners is also left-handed. Yet the Little One is right-handed. This tells us something about genetics, but I’m not sure what.
Aloha i am new here, I came upon this site I find It extremely useful & its helped me loads. I hope to give something back and aid other users like its helped me.
Thanks, See Ya Later
Excellent post. The mug shot is a gem. I'm thinking of printing it and sticking it on the bathroom mirror, so I won't feel so bad when I look at myself first thing in the morning.
No cavities? That is a miracle!
OMG, the turd answer made me snort tea out my nose! I totally did NOT expect that!
That must have been some comedy routine. Do you remember any of the jokes? One serving of chocolate a day? I wonder if I could survive on that ration.
Love the post. If your Little One's scientist assistant, just make sure that he doesn't call you Igor. Remember Young Frankenstein with Gene Wilder? Be the pretty Swede assistant.
you always make me smile
Oh, this cracked me up – especially your superpower of clogging up the toilet!
Your mug shot is cracking… me… UP! And I absolutely love that you had a baby without ever changing a diaper… how many books did you read on parenting to try to prepare?!
And how did the stand-up comedy debut turn out? (That TOTALLY deserves it's own blog post, by the way!)
For some reason when you listed the arrested question, my mind immediately went back to the day I was with you when you got your first speeding ticket… LOL
btw, I hate you for being cavity free! I can't stop getting cavities and I'm militant about brushing and flossing. But I do have a sweet tooth.
Thanks for sharing… sort of…I think my daughter has you beat on the toilet clogging…
I too wish I had smaller boobs and have never had a cavity. What a strange world we live in.
Why does it not suprise me you have done stand up? Would you be willing to write a routine and post in?
And glad to hear your boobs are real and you have big poops. I feel like these FAQs are really helping me to get to know the real you. It's a special time, this bonding.
Veeery interesting. Glad to know that your boobs are real.
Funny, Archie and I are both right – handed, but so far we have 2 left handed children.
So you're telling me that if I do all the cooking, you'll do all the toilet clogging? Sweet!
I don't like to cook either. That's why we have pizza at LEAST once a week, and we own not 2 ovens but two microwaves, so we can eat at the same time….
I Love that pic!!!
And I feel the same way about my boobs…hate them!
That mug shot is TERRIFYING!
Yay ducks! I don't think I knew that you were a UofO alumni. Brian is a Husky though (Booo!) and his family are all Beaver fans! (DOUBLE BOO!) My family are all duck fans though!
Funny about your boss being a tyrant- ain't it the truth!
A cute tyrant though, I'm sure!
Cinnamon flavored crest makes me dry heave…just sayin.
And that picture of your mugshot is definitely the best I've seen you post in a long time…why does it look familiar? And what were you arrested for?
Do you still have your comedy routine?? You should make a vlog performing parts of it!! I could never do that.
As far as I am concerned, you do a comedy routine every time you post
Thanks for the laugh at the end of a difficult weekend!
You did a stand up routine? Is there video of this? (Could we be so lucky?) I admire your mojo on that one.
gosh some people are sure nosy, eh? But then again you're brutally honest in a way no one else would be… how do you have so many followers?? lol
(I'm totally teasing, but seriously, man, did you have to mention the turd? lol, but mostly ew!)
Okay… that pic cracked me right up!!!
Great post…
and what an awesome idea.
Might have to do a question post myself one of these days.
Yay you!
I do love your honesty! I knew my questions were on this post when I saw your Nolte mugshot in my reader, lol. I'm a lefty, too. Ambidextrous actually, but mostly lefty. I'm still giggling at the turd thing, btw.
Love this post. I'm gonna have to go check out face in the hole since I have nothing else to do.
You should come visit, we'll cook, and eat, then we'll go to some public place so you can clog their toilet.
And the Little One already has you trained as his assistant, so there should be no learning curve when you take the job for real.
Now I must think of what new equipment I could buy when I stage a robbery.
Thanks for being so candid on your responses!
