Hi Y'all.
In case you haven't noticed... I've been absent. Blog absent.
Intentionally.
It's not you... it's me.
No, really. It is me.
I don't have love for blogging. Not right now.
The things I have to write about are for me, and they belong in my personal journal. At home.
So, while I have decided to keep this blog up (more for personal reference than anything else) I have done away with the comment section.
(You would not believe the amount of spam comments I just had to delete. Like, legit a thousand!)
If you wanna keep dibs on me then stalk me on Facebook like a normal friend. lol. You can peep me on Twitter (which I hardly use) or Instagram (which I use more frequently than Twitter but not as frequently as Facebook).
Maybe I'll come back to blogging.
Maybe.
It will probably be all #crossfit #paleo #projectlife
Consider the hashtags your fair warning.
I still love you, my party people.
Don't cry.

One Little Word : 2013
Hello beautiful people! Happy New Year! And what a year it's been, hehe.
So... as I said before... I am totally choosing a word for Ali Edward's One Little Word ... and it is...
Positivity
I don't even think this is a real word (like dictionary word) so we're gonna go ahead and call it a Jen-ism. Seems fitting.
The short-story on how I chose this word goes like this...
I kept seeing this word and using this word for, like, days and days in a row and I just really wanted something that means 2013 is going to be OUR year!
No more deaths. No more money problems. No more binges. No more excuses. No more weeks on end of sadness.
It's going to be a YEAR FULL OF POSITIVITY because we are going to wake up every morning and choose to be positive, to make someone's day by giving them a compliment, by talking someone off the ledge, by taking that flower arrangement class that you've always wanted to, by eating beautiful and healthy foods, by getting out and walking or running or hiking a mountain, by being grateful for every single breath of life that our glorious God has given to us!
Right!! Now go out ... and infect others with POSITIVITY!
Love Yous!

so long 2012
Because you can never have too many photos of your shoes ~ 12.31.2012
Happy New Years Eve!
It's been quite a year, hasn't it.
I, for one, am happy to start a new year, especially this one... 2012 had way too many 'end-of-the-world' connotations for my liking.
2013.
That has a nice ring to it. Plus, I turn 33 in 2013. I've waited my whole life to turn 33. I'm pretty sure it's because I wanted to outlive Jesus. He was 32. And we have the same initials. I know, that's weird. But, well, that's me.
Moving on.
I've been playing around with the ideas of joining in on the following:
Ali Edwards : One Little Word
Project Life : Elise Blaha edition
A Beautiful Mess : 365 Photo Project
I know, I know... all three of these together seem quite ambitious, but if you break it down, they all kind of intertwine together and that is what will make each of these project successful! Sidenote, I'm not making any promises that these will get completed, but the best of intentions are always there.
Usually the list of "resolutions" include such over-played and under-achieved goals such as:
- Lose Weight
- Quit Smoking
- Exercise More
I am not about to set myself up for disaster, so I'm gonna skip all the resolution crap. I do have a list of intentions... wanna hear them. Okay good.
I intend to stick with CrossFit in 2013. In fact, I hope to never stop CrossFitting, as it is quite addicting and much better for me than other addictions like smoking or drinking or doing drugs, all which I am against.
I intend to take more photos in 2013. Hence the above listed projects. But hear me out real quick-like. My babes are growing up and soon they won't let me take photos of them. Sucky, but you know how it is, growing up all teenage-like. Grr.
I intend to blog more in 2013. Can you believe that I only blogged 78 (this is post 79) in 2012!! Cray-cray! I'm typically a 100+ annual blogger. I sucked at blogging in 2012, and I had better make it up to you peeps. Bring on 2013 and the year of blogging we will name as poetic-ramblings-of-a-crazed-30-something-mom-of-teens! Rolls off the tongue, eh? hehehe
Okay, so enough babble. Do you have any resolutions? Any intentions? I wanna know, because I'm nosy like that. lol.
In all seriousness. I wish each and every one of you much love and many blessings in the new year. Good tidings of health and great joy. May peace and love be with you every day. Promisecakes!!
to the last of the greats
This is my Grandma Mickie.
Her real name is Agatha.
She turned 90 on December 9th, 2012.
Can you imagine... living on this earth for 90 years, especially the past 90 years. She lived through the Depression Era, she grew up in a time where girls didn't go to school after 8th grade, she worked on her parents farm, left home at 17 and was married and with child by 20. She has lived through her husband's passing, her only daughter's passing, and her only son's passing. She's been through seven wars including World Wars One and Two, Vietnam and the Gulf. She knew life before microwaves and computers and when they called cars "automobiles". She's seen the world change.

She passed away.
This was her wish. She was ready to go, and we were ready to let her go. On angels wings she flew up to be with her family. We will miss you Grandma, but we are at peace because you are finally at peace.
Christmas Decorating
Hi Guys!!
So..... are you decking your halls! I am! If you're following me on Instagram or Gramfeed you've seen that I have been into the Christmas decorations...
(Only in my house will you find Santa in Hunter Orange and Camouflage. Lol)
Decorating is always a tinge painful, so many boxes have my Dad's writing on them, and it's just another fresh reminder that he won't be here with us this Christmas. Daddy was always all about decorating. Presentation is everything... as he used to say. He took so much pride in getting the house all decked out. And I know that my Mom takes the same pride.
The Christmas lights are up around the house. The (fake) tree in my bedroom is up.
The real tree is up too, just not decorated. ((I'll get to that.))
But I did manage to get a few gifts wrapped for the in-laws (they have to mailed out).
The Christmas movies have been playing 'round the clock... Mickey's A Christmas Carol is one of my all-time favorites!
I can't decide what I love most about prepping for Christmas... the decorating, the wrapping of beautiful gifts, the movies, the music... oooh, the baking... that's to come. Stay tuned, for sure!
What's your favorite part?
