10 Things About Me

I was reading a couple of my friends blogs, namely Paul and Jen, and I saw a game called TAG. Well, nobody really tagged me, and that's okay. No it isn't, I'm super-pissed. Screw all of you! Thanks, I feel much better now. Anyway, here are ten things about me:

1. I have a skin condition called Hyper Pigmentation which is why people rarely see me without makeup.

2. When I was a gymnast, I trained with Kurt Thomas and Kathy Johnson. If you don't know them, look them up.

3. I love to ride horses.

4. My favorite place to be (besides the theater) is the beach.

5. My first car was a Chevrolet Chevette and I totalled it 2 days before my high school graduation.

6. The worst job I ever had was a waitress at a Jewish retirement home. Borscht anyone?

7. My two biggest fears of all time- snakes & rejection.

8. I am a die-hard Jets fan.

9. I can't drink carbonated beverages because I get really bad hiccups.

10. I can play the flute.


There you have it, hope it was enlightening. Ta ta for now!

My Dysfunctional Animals

Our family currently has 2 dogs and 2 cats. Each one of these animals have some kind of psychological issue. I'll explain. We have a 10 year old female toy poodle named Belle. Every time I go to feed her she barks and growls at me. An axe murderer can come through the front door and start hacking us all to bits and she wouldn't do a thing, but when I try to feed her she acts like a pit bull. Go figure. We have a 5 year old cat named Leo. She is the most loving cat in the world. She likes to pull out her hair in huge clumps. The vet said it was stress. What stress? She's a cat! Then there's Josie, our other cat. She's 2 years old. She can't make up her mind. She meows to go outside and I let her out. 2 minutes later she's scratching to come in. 2 minutes after that she's meowing to go out. This could go on all day if I allow it. And then there's Callie, our 1 year FEMALE Brittany Spaniel. She's a maniac, plain and simple. She's a bird dog by nature, but she'd rather hunt lizards and frogs. One day when I was walking her, there were some cranes on our lawn. No reaction. 2 seconds later I'm being dragged down the sidewalk because a tiny lizard was scurrying about. This nut job also likes to hump the poodle and my six year old daughter. She's a female for pete's sake! Look, I know they have small brains and all, but doesn't anyone think it's a little peculiar? I do.

Me (In A Nutshell)

Welcome to my blog spot. This is my very first one. Two of my children have accounts on MySpace and they have been bugging me to get one. Well, I'm really not interested in a MySpace account, so I thought this would work nicely. A good friend of mine also has an account so I figured I'd try out one myself. My name is Jeanine, but my friends call me J9. No, not K9 ( ha ha ha), J9. Can't tell you how many times I've heard that during my lifetime. I'm 40 years old, ouch, I'm married and have 3 beautiful daughters. Their ages are 21, 15, and 6. You're probably wondering why they are spaced so far apart from each other. Good question. I've heard it alot. The answer I give most people is that I had the first one when I was a little too young, and the last one when I was a little too old. The middle one was just right. Do the math and figure it out for yourself. We've been living in Florida for almost 9 years. Before that I was born and raised in New York. I am a substitute teacher, mainly because I never got my degree. It's on my to-do list. My husband is a work-a-holic. I never see the man, but I know he exists. My 21 year old just moved out last week. I have mixed feelings about that, but I guess you gotta cut the cord at some point. When I'm not being a teacher, mom, and wife, I'm doing theater. It's my passion, my sanctuary, my escape, my thing. I've done some really good shows, and some not so good shows. I've met some truly talented and wonderful people who I am honored to call friends and even more honored that they call me their friend. I hope you like my spot and look forward to posting more. Come back and visit me soon!
