About Me

Hi. I’m Jen. So, this page is about me, huh? Kinda selfish seeing as the blog title and most of the content is dedicated to my daughter, Sprite. No, it’s not her real name. We just call her that.

Well, what would you like to know? I am a 31 year old (at time of writing and maybe sticking to that number for a while because I will conveniently forget to update my profile..that sounds good.) native Floridian married to a wonderful man who keeps trying to convince me that he has ADD to cover his forgetfulness. His name is John. That's him next to me in the picture. The model I rented didn't show, but John took one for the team and posed with me. You’ll see him mentioned here and there in the site too. He’s a geek. He’s the reason my site has pictures. Thanks to him, my site has a built-in IT department. I bet you wish you had a geek now too, don’t you?

Blue and Harry are the dogs we’ve been keeping since 2000 and 2002 respectively. They make appearances here and there as well, however, at contract renewal, their agent wanted more than scale for their work and executive producer billing, so I add them when I can afford them.

I am a work in progress who is addicted to her treamill. You see, Sprite did a lot of damage while in the womb. I mean it. She knocked down walls, put up columns and borders where there should have been load-bearing walls, all while on a renter's lease, and the entire thing caved. I just got the permits approved, so re-building will be a long and drawn out process since the contractor is a little flighty when it comes to deadlines. But he’s cheap, so I went with him.

Anyway, I love snark. I love everything about snark. Some of my posts will be chock full of it, can’t step on the grass because you’ll get it all over your shoes no matter how many times you hop full of snark. Some of my posts will be poetry, sometimes funny, sometimes meaningful, sometimes hokey, sometimes even pokey, and always inspired by Sprite. All of the Sprite’s World posts are written by me in her voice. If you see it in Italics, and it’s not an Editor’s Note, it is Sprite’s voice. I figure, until she’s able to speak coherent sentences full of nouns, adjectives, and prepositions, she’s at my mercy. I can get away with it now, but you’ll probably see me begging her for her forgiveness on Oprah in about 17 years.

I like to put up photo essays on the weekends, because I have a job which keeps me from writing on this site 24/7. There’s usually something new every day, because I needed something else to do with my time at work other than work, right?

Oh, yeah, Sprite. The reason I blog. She was born in November, 2006. She’s the first girl for both sides of the family and an absolute princess in everyone’s eyes except her own. She acts more like a sprite than a princess, and John and I are her biggest fans.

So, that about wraps it up. Happy reading. Leave a comment when you enjoy something. I don't bite. Sprite may, but I'm pretty harmless. And if you thought reading this bio was a waste of your 5 minutes, I'm keeping them anyway. No refunds.
