A song about today...

Don't Give Up On Us, Baby

My creative blogging juices will start to flow again one day and I'll get back to a normal routine. I just know it. Most likely I'll end up filling you in on some of the things that have kept me away. 

I've also been saving up for a laptop! So....that's exciting!

In the meantime, I'll just post something when it strikes my fancy. 

Stay Fancy,

Two For One!

This race is incrediable! It's one of those races where you get out of the car

afterwards & sometimes just check you've got all your limbs in place.

If you hear me talk about the Indy 500 and IndyCar racing and you think to yourself, “Hmmm, sometime I think I might check that out. Jennifer sure is a geek about it. Maybe I’ll give it a look-see…”

And, if you have the Versus network…

TONIGHT is a great opportunity for you to check out IndyCar racing!

They're racing a doubleheader - The Firestone Twin 275s - at Texas Motor Speedway. The amount of laps they’d usually race will be split into two races - almost like sprints. So you could watch just one race…in half the time! A nice way to dip your toes into the IndyCar pool.

IndyCar at Texas is ALWAYS very, very exciting & action packed! They race wheel to wheel in excess of 220 mph, after dark under lights on a track with high banking. And, my goodness, they always get my heart rate up and and have me holding my breath at times as they’ll get three wide at times. Sometimes someone tries to be really brave (or stupid) and make it four wide.

Check it out! Like....NOW... I'm a little late in posting this. And race #1 is starting on Versus now.

I think this may be one of my favorite photos I've ever taken at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

Hello First Time Callers, Long Time Listeners!

Well, I am trying to pick up my pens and pencils, pack up my pencil box, and get back on this blogging train.

I've missed it. I've missed you. I've missed the outlet and the creative process.

I suppose for awhile there was just too much going on in my life....in the lives around me... And, quite honestly, I seemed to lack the time, focus, energy, motivation, and creative juices.

Now, there's some planning going on behind the scenes for...well, let's just call it "more". I have some great resources and partners in my life who are lending knowledge, help, and support for things to come. Very blessed.

From time to time I'll be jotting out some things with a mobile app - that I'm still figuring out how to navigate. So if some posts look wonky or less pretty...you'll be gracious about it, won't you?

Looking forward,

Jennifer

The Wonderful Cross

But Christopher Dwayne Tomlin, I don't think I have ever loved you more than I do in this moment...

(Eric, thank you for posting this on my Facebook wall.)

Yeah, yeah, yeah people...I know he's engaged. My crush is one of admiration and musical appreciation.

Don't stop the world. I'm not ready to get off.

Today the final episode of As the World Turns will air. I can't find the words. I have basically watched that show my entire life. Because my momma watched it. My grandmother watched it.

In the summertime we'd set our lunch schedule by, "The Show". "It's almost time for The Show. What do we want for lunch?"

Sandwiches on white toast with thick slices of homegrown tomatoes eaten in the family room before the TV while watching the families of Oakdale - The Hughes, The Stewarts, The Snyders...

I'm not ready to say good-bye. I don't have the words yet.
