Yeah, I don't know what got into me. The hot weather and the inability to sleep mixed with an overdose of caffeine maybe. I'll try not to leave it up too long... only because I'm afraid to scare someone away. Also, I might be a little girly right now. Glitter, nail polish, new shoes. What can I say? If you really can't stand it let me know and if you love it let me know.

So to speak. What I'm really talking about is the pending release of the September/October issue of All Things Girl. Word on the street is that it'll be out a few days early (like.. oh.. say tomorrow?!). You should check it out and of course look out for a little something by yours truly. With all the fantastic submissions it should keep you busy while I continue to formulate my thoughts on Michigan summers or August in Michigan or whatever it is out there. Anyway, get over to ATG and check out the issue on our favourite things: Friends, Enemies and Lovers.

Hello Everybody! I added a little link up at the top called "state" which is the state of me. You can click on it and get a nice popup to tell you what I'm reading, listening to, etc. I'll try to keep it updated and you know, write here too. I've been to a reunion and a wedding in the last couple weeks so I'll post those little stories soon. In the meantime I'm working a lot so I'll be doing more of that and eventually get back to you. Enjoy!
I've written a series of entries over the last little while. Instead of just posting them under today's date I've posted them under the dates that they occurred. I've also linked them below so no one has to search through the archives and worry that something will be missed. Who knows, maybe with these few entries the archives will actually grow enough for someone to get lost in them.
As follows:
Now Showing at the Middle School
Once again I decided to change the layout. This is based on a photo I took out in Grand Haven, Michigan just about a year ago. Luckily the weather was better then although you can see the waves coming up on the walkway in the photo. In the meantime I've written some entries I just haven't posted them yet. Subbing is keeping me pretty busy and when I'm not doing that I'm still working at the range. At least I'll be able to afford some things at this rate. Keep smiling and sign up for the notify. I'll post more soon.

New seasons and new layouts. I miss the autumn waves look, but I was feeling a little festive. Indie and I traveled out back with my parents and Gordon to cut down our Christmas tree. This event has become a tradition around here. I'm not sure indie liked the wagon ride, but he did enjoy the adventure in the woods. He also made sure I did a good job cutting down the tree.

In honor of Valentine's Day I thought I'd spruce things up a little. Besides that how long can you look at a holiday layout? Isn't that a little like leaving up your Christmas tree until April? Yeah, I thought so. So love the hearts, love your friends, and family and that special someone. Try not to complain. Instead celebrate yourself for a little while. Oh, yeah, and smile.

Just a heads up: I've imported all the entries from "Lost in Denmark." They're in the denmark category if you're interested in looking back or if for some reason you really missed being able to read them. Also, I deleted 150 spam comments in order to clean them up and get them ready for public consumption. Appreciate me. Thanks.
Just a quick update.. I removed the locals and attractions pages and combined them with the state of jenn concept into one big thing called "guide." Hopefully this won't be too confusing and maybe I will stop feeling guilty for not updating the state of my life more than once a month. If you feel like you're freaking out and can't remember who people are and really miss using those pages (I doubt you ever did) let me know and maybe I'll put them back. Otherwise a I found out in my assessment class that a little stress is good for us. So deal. :)
Due to an annoying number of spam comments... comments on this site will be open for a week only. (Unless I get lazy). So if you really had something to say and the comments are closed.. well, you are always welcome to contact me. Email is cool too: jennem AT the domain. or at scatterjoy.net. Just so you know, cause I'm not trying to keep you out. Just the spammers. Maybe if they'd get a clue and realize that I'm not in need of cialis.
Also new layout.. I thought if I celebrate the snow it'll get out and the warm weather can come in. If you've seen this website at the right time today, you might notice that it's changing about a million times. Sorry about that. Okay, no I'm not.. it's kinda fun. But I should be done now.
Today's the day I fly to Michigan for a few weeks. Hope to see some of you there. Cheers.
I managed to mess up the look of the page here. I'll fix it on Sunday or so once the play is over. Cheers.
