Meet Jenna

Latest news: In sad news, my goldfish Roswita died recently and I am pretty sad. She was over 10 years old and quite beautiful. And she was quite a character! She'll be missed, the corner where the fish tank is is sure dark now.

Hi! I'm Jenna! I am 26 and live in central IL with my super-fantastic husband Mike and our wonderful pets, a 5 year old Pembroke Welsh Corgi name Sully, a fat cat named Red Army. We have no kids and no plans for kids.

I am fond of corgis, ponies, aprons, pyrex dishes, knit, crochet, sugar-free gum, kanzashi, miniatures, vintage cookbooks, dayplanners, tiny plastic animals and people, picture books, stickers, scrapbooking/cardmaking, vegetarian cooking, and baking (mainly sweets). I work in a library, go home for lunch everyday like the weird kid at school and try to restrain my bulging dayplanner (color-coded and with many post-its). In my off time, I enjoy vegetable and flower gardening, nature walks, obedience training my dog (and volunteering with the 4-H dog training club), and making crafts for my favorite charity, Corgi-Aid! For your reference, I wear size 16 (L) clothing, size 10 shoes, glasses and I have pierced ears. I like being early, writing in purple pen, wearing skirts with sneakers, and getting the most lovely packages in the mail thanks to swap-bot and my many buddies around the globe! Sometimes (ok, most of the time) I narrate my life in my head. Mind you, it's in first person so I don't think it's that odd. My dog and I walk every day, rain or shine, and in my head our adventures are legendary. I drive the cutest car imaginable: a Toyota Yaris. I love playing DDR. I have straight teeth thanks to years of orthodontics. I also like penpals, craft clubs, no drama, chocolate candy and pretending!

My husband and I collect salt and pepper shakers, but only if they are anthropomorphic vegetable people. We also collect food brand icons (Tony the Tiger, Aunt Jemina, etc.) and vintage cookbooks. I collect the stickers that come on fruits and vegetables and will love you if you send me a few! Do I know what I'm going to do with them? No. But I keep them in a little book, kind of like a victorian scrapbook. I also really like miniature food like Rement and Megahouse! I don't wear makeup. My favorite color combos are pink/red/orange/yellow, pink/brown, light blue/brown and red/turquoise.

I grew up on a farm outside a very small town. I rode mules, raised show rabbits, butchered (yes, for eating) chickens and other animals, got around in a golf cart, and was in 4-H and FFA. My graduating class was a whopping 41 people. I was also on the school paper, in the school play, and on the Scholastic Bowl team. I was not a Mathlete. I have a Bachelor's degree in Leisure Studies. I am serious about recreation!

I do not follow/read horoscopes. I don't like stand-up comedians, tattoos, fireworks, animal cruelty or runny eggs.

Comment: I don't how you managed to pin down my parents so perfectly - it's like you know them better than me! These were absolutely perfect; you reinforced some ideas that I already had (camera strap) and gave me lots of awesome new ones! I was keeping my list of ideas on my iPod, which crashed the other day, and I lost all my ideas and couldn't remember most of them, so I am especially appreciative of this! Thank you so much!

Comment: Congrats on your finish at the dog show! Harry Rex and Molly were very excited to hear your letter and loved the stationary:) They both love to play tug of war and they will play it with each other so the rope was the perfect gift. They each take turns with the bone when Molly will give it up. Thanks for such a cute letter and thoughtful gifts:) Woof! Woof! Hugs and puppy kisses!

Comment: Wow! So many great tips (If only I can be a good girl and follow them, heh) and I love the hand knit cloth... I don't know if I'll be able to bring myself to use on something as mundane as cleaning:) Thanks!!!

Hi Jenna. Love your profile; we have a lot in common. I stopped by to tell you how much I appreciate "Swap-Dex" - you have (unknowingly, LOL) hooked me up with lots of fun swaps and I love having one place to see them all (before it's too late). PS: My husband drives a Yaris, too. :)

RobinT on Sep 19, 2007:

Consider yourself hugged! I'm still laughing over Sully's pants. They are so awesome! Your profile rocks, too!

I got/loved your letter, but it's been a very busy couple of weeks. I'll write soon! In the meantime, hope you're happy and well!

Hi Jenna! I love what you wrote about being "the weird kid at school." So funny.
