The Anthology of Jenna – A to Z

I thought that this would be an interesting meme to herald the new year:

E is for Essential Item to Bring to a Party: Dessert!

O is for Overnight Hospital Stays: None
P is for Phobias: Heights and Drowning, my two greatest fears
Q is for Quotes you Like: “It is what it is.” This is my own saying that I use to remind myself on a regular basis that I can’t control everything and sometimes I just have to deal with what I’m dealt! 🙂 It’s become quite a catchy phrase since I now hear people I’ve used it around using it a lot…
R is for Relationship That Lasted Longest: My marriage of 6 years, with many more to come. (years, not marriages!)

T is for Texas: Never been there.
U is for Unique Trait: I seem to be able to pick up any skill that I put my mind to, particularly in the creative arts.
V is for Vegetables You Love: Carrots, celery, tomatoes, potatoes
W is for Worst Traits: Hubby calls me obsessive impulsive. I can get really focused on one thing to the point of being annoying sometimes.
X is for X-rays You’ve Had: Both hips for pain, nose after someone opened a door into me at work, neck and shoulder series for migraines, thumb when I broke it playing softball in 6th grade
Y is for Yummy Food You Make: I like to bake, so it’s all yummy! Creme Brulee is my most recent.
Z is for Zodiac Sign: Libra/Scorpio cusp (means I’m one or the other, depending on the which horoscope you read and where they make the split as far as the date ranges)
