As your loving mother I admit to handing down your phobia of the sun (skin cancer). You can blame that on your stylish grandmother, who by the way has reason for her worry. I must tell you that suffering from SAD myself has led me to the tanning booths or the white beaches of the Caribbean most recently, in search of a bit of a lift myself. There is a little bird on my shoulder whispering into my ear that I’m in danger and I need to act my age and quit caring about the pale color of my aging skin. But when I look down at my white gams and think about the new tennis skirt I’ll be sporting at the club next week with all those white women…I just can’t help myself…just this once. And I lay back in the warm sunshine (assuring your dad that “yes I have my sunscreen on!” even if it is only spf8), pull out my nook reader, order a $6 diet coke.
Goodbye winter blues.

(P.S. – This is your mother speaking….do not go to tanning booths, and always wear your screen – you know skin cancer runs in the family!)

I totally enjoyed your blog.

Jenna,
I really enjoyed your blog. Here is a new name for the boobs: I call them “my shelf” because my food ends up there.

So true about baby showers!!

Hi Jenna, my husband works with yours and directed me to your blog today. Just wanted to say thanks for the laughs. I’m sure I will keep up in the future!

Dear Jenna,

I received a comment from you on my blog in December thanking me for adding the green lemon to my blogroll. I regret that it has taken me this long to return the thanks.

It was so exciting and inspiring to me to receive a comment, let along a compliment from the very talented offspring of my favorite author! It has been months since I blogged, but re-reading your comment has me feeling inspired again. Hopefully I can be moved to share the things I need to, rather than the things I think others want to read, and maybe provide a little inspiration for others along the way. Thanks for the belly laughs every time I read one of your posts – you’re simply awesome!
