I am a full-time mother of two and a student at the University of Guelph where I am working towards my BA Hons. in English Literature. I perform both of these functions at a point somewhere between adequate and average. I fear graduation, because then I will have to update this page to say something like “I am assistant shopping cart organizer for a large national grocery store chain.”
I am short on time, money and patience.
I like frozen margaritas, guacamole, William Faulkner, Led Zeppelin, punctuation, writing, performing in ”Rock Band” (we are “Dumpster Fire,”) and my children (most of the time.)
I don’t like companies who purposefully use misspellings on “kidz” products, Truck Nutz, or watching people eat shrimp.
I can be almost unbearably bossy, impatient, and independent.
Some people don’t like me.
I will tell you that I don’t care, but I might.
But just a little.
Hahaha! Well, sooner or later, we’ll both think the other sucks.
Sounds like you two might be married!

Or should I say,
Kate
Margarita’s and Marley? Oh yeah…I’m in.
You ROCK Jen, and boy! can you write!
I agree, you sure can write…love reading your blog, as it is usually what is going on in my head. Found your blog through MM.
Love it all and, hate to be a bitch but, you, who hate spelling errors, spelled “judgmental” wrong. There is no “e”. And don’t question me because I found it out the hard way, in second grade by losing the school spelling bee because I, too, spelled it with an “e”. Ouch. And yes, it has stuck with me all these freakin’ years.
Actually, the “e” can be included. I am Canadian and use the British style, in which the “e” is acceptable. That’s also why you’ll see me spell things like “colour” and “centre” differently than the American style.
Wacky huh? That and the metric system. But that’s how we roll…
And, eww…that sucks about the spelling bee.
Thanks for introducing me to this wonderful blog of yours. You write with great spirit and I like that. Keep it up
So glad a friend shared your blog with me…We are like the same person, you & I, but for 2 things: 1, I would give you all my tequila, and you would give me all your red wine; 2, you have taken the plunge into blogging, which has heretofore terrified me as much as your nighttime flight with the Nazi. And 3, you’re Canadian, I’m American–but I’m a closeted Canadian wannabe, so that one doesn’t count.
Rock on.
That profile is so me! Except when people make typos or get a word wrong once in awhile that’s fine. What’s not fine and I just dumped this guy and this was part of the reason. He kept spelling busy bizy,enough enoff and when I gently advised spell check he said” ok wen I’m not to bizy” it drove me nuts! Sorry about the grammar I’m using a cell phone. Oh and he had only read 2 books in his entire life. Both in high school!
See no idea how pound 8221 got in there! Oops
Now its gone! Maybe my phone is possessed!?

I am also a blogger..and still in discovering tricks on how could I make my blog more fun to read.. anyways… you’ve got your own style and that’s very unique… upon reading the title of your blog..I was a bit curious..wow..there must be something in this blog…think we have something in common.. I love reggae songs too…especially with Bob Marley..hope to read more of your updates…

datzme here…!
Lmoa “some people don’t like me. I think they suck.” Looove it. I’m a fan of margaritas on the rocks. Salted rim and all. But non-alcoholic of course. I hate spelling errors also, I hate them even more when I make them.
I’ve just started posting my own blogs and reading others seriously this past couple of weeks.
Congrats. You are my first blogger that I subscribed to. I’ve read the majority of your entire blog and read the responses as well. Can’t say anything different what has not been said by others….well, maybe that your the only hottest “CanaIrriMargaHortonGuaca” mama that I’ve ever seen. Looking forward to your future posts for 2010. Happy New Year.
You’ve got my attention!
Okay, so I just found you from over at Babble.com. Love the blog. Um, love your daughter more. She reminds me of my daughter, except she’s 5. Yesterday morning she asked me, “So, when are you going to get around to telling me how babies get in mommies tummies?”. I was like, “Um, first I need to think of a funny response to write on my blog.” She’s like, “Moooom!” So I said, “It’s kind of a long story, and you’re about to go to school. Later, m’kay?” She agreed.
So I’ve been avoiding her.
What do you think? Sound strategy?
Hello there!
I have always been a big fan of ‘avoidance’ as a parenting technique. Run with it!
I found you on our university’s( U of G) homepage today and I right away liked you! hehehe. Keep up the good work girl, you rock!
Anyone who likes Bob Marley is OK with me!
Except for the kids — you’re my kinda gal!
Another grammar and punctuation geek? Yes, please.
I can’t wait to read more of your stuff. I’m an English teacher, and good writers are a salve to my daily grind.
I like you. Yer headed to my reader.
Just kidding. Your headed to my reader.
always love your blog! you’ve been awarded! http://kymleemurphy.wordpress.com/2011/09/30/awarded-me/
