Crazy Mama 101....

Ahhh the dreaded about me page. Where I must actually talk about....ME. I hate talking about me. But you are either here by mistake....or you came to learn about me. Either way...I guess I am stuck talking about me.

Though One Crazy Mama suits me most days....it isn't really my name. Imagine that? My name is actually Jenni....thats my story and I'm sticking to it!! I am 33 years old...which feels awfully young and then I look back on how long its been since this or that happened and realize...I'm getting old. I live in the North Pole....well not really....it's really Michigan....but 10 months* out of the year it FEELS like the North Pole.

Seriously, though...I love Michigan. We actually have four seasons. Summer (which is about 1 month), Winter, Rain and Snow. LOL. Nahhh I'm fibbing again (or am I?). Michigan has been home to us for about 6 years now. It's hard to imagine living anywhere else. Though I do miss my family and old friends a LOT.

I am technically not married....but I am also technically not divorced. Confuse ya yet?? We got separated about 7 years ago (told ya I am getting old).....but we've never gotten the official divorce. Guess its just never been a big priority in the grand scheme of all that costs money.

So what do I do?? Well I am a full time ebayer. I am a trading assistant (which means I sell other people's stuff for them) as well as selling my own items. It keeps me very busy because despite what you may think...its a LOT of work. But I absolutely LOVE it. What other job could I shop, buy things, then turn around and sell them and make money? It feeds that shopping addiction while not taking my income.

I am also a Girl Scout Leader. I co-lead a troop with my friend (and Madison's BFF's mom) Kris. We have a crazy group of 4th and 5th grade girls that keep us on our toes. So far they haven't tried to sneak out and see boys on our camping trips....but I just KNOW its coming soon.

And of course I am the crazy mama to Madison!

For my free time (isn't that an oxymoron to a mom??) I like to hang with the Britches.....read....design graphics....and sleep. Yes I am at the age where sleep is considered a hobby! My favorite books are the Twilight series (of course!!), legal thrillers and basically any drama type book. I don't do much tv but I MUST catch American Idol, Greys Anatomy and Army Wives. I also like to play board games...with trivial pursuit and scene it being my faves. Oh and I enjoy playing the wii with Madison.

During the warm month*....I like to go to the beach (don't even go there....it IS a beach...Lake Michigan looks like an ocean dangit)....go camping....ride bikes....shoot basketball with Madison (I can play a mean game of horse)....grill out...and make smores over the fire!

I LOVE to travel. I dream of visiting New York City. So far my favorite place to go by far is Chicago. I love seeing new places. I hope to someday travel abroad. And if I have my way, retirement will be spent in a motor home touring the U.S.

Did I mention I like to shop??

Oh and I have a secret new obsession. It's called Mobsters. It's an application on Myspace. It's a twisted hobby. But hey...I'm a twisted kinda gal.

I've never been known as a "religious" person. But I am very very much a Christian. I put that out there because the faith I have is so strong. I've witnessed the power of that faith in my own life as well as that of others. So from time to time...you may see mention of that.

And my family is just as crazy as me. Don't let them convince you otherwise!!

Oh and I swear I am only slightly medicated :)

Mi Vida Loca. My Crazy Life.

So grab a cup of coffee....or glass of wine....or hey go all out and grab the liquor....and sit back as you journey into the day to day mishaps that make up my crazy life!
