1. … back when we used to run around the house starch naked.
2. Congrats on your short story’s horrible mention!
3. At first it might seem funny surfing blogs of “strangers” and commenting, but before you know it — you’ll smile every time you think of your blog biddies.
4. I’ll be the one bawling out my eyes.
5. Whatcha gonna do with the trolls when they come to inslut you?
6. What has gong missing of yours that you still think might turn up?
7. I already have 6 new typos for the nest batch, just 4 more to go!
8. I too considered hiring a life catch to help straighten out my direction.
9. May I suggest one of those dew-fangled ones?
10. I finally peeked at my site stats WordPress Guru, Kim Woodbridge set up a couple of moths ago for me.
Here is the entire series thus far, in case you are interested. 🙂

That wonderful new “Seriously Weird” tagline on my header? I owe that little gem to Robin Birch of Let’s Live Forever. It was her succinctly apt response to my recent “So there!” (3 big beers and a donut for lunch) post. Thanks, Robin — it’s so perfectly me!
So… I am wondering, my lovely blog buds, if you might have other ideas for good taglines for me? I’d like to use some of your suggestions in the future, with an acknowledgement and a link to your site in a sidebar widget. No big prizes for this one, friends — just the fame and infinite glory! And the taglines I choose, I’ll leave up on my header for a week or two or three. Maybe use them in future years too, with the same acknowledgement to you.
Some of my other taglines since I started this blog have been…
- Singing, Songwriting, Bra-Flinging & Such
- Fannie Junster
- Grannie Jannie
- Now with less eyeball, but more brow
- Totally somebody now
- Warning: may contain traces of poetry
- A garden of humble self-absorption
- When in doubt go for the fun
- Fun is really quite a good thing
- Changing the world one wedgie at a time
- A surprisingly nicheless niche
- Home of the wedgie wedding
- Home of the-perming-of-the-bangs
- I need a man with a chainsaw
So? Any ideas? Please?
I’ll leave this open for over a week. I’m sure I’ll post again in the meantime, but you are welcome to come back here and enter this fabulous “contest” until… 11:59 p.m. Texas (Central Daylight Savings) time on Saturday the 14th of March, 2009.
Limit of 100 entries per household, per day.
Void where funsterment is prohibited.

Okay, be like that!!! My “What-Jannie-Funster-topics-would-you-like-to-hear-more-about” poll is over and no one gave a hoot about my Diet, so that’s all this post is about — my Diet, which I mean in the true sense of general nutritional intake, not in the weight reduction way (altho, yes, I’d love to lose 8 pounds.)
Breakfast: 2 small turnips, 2 ounces raw tofu, 2 tablespoons teriaki tiramisu.
Lunch: 3 big beers and a glazed donut.
Dinner: 13 Cheerios, 17 Spaghettios and 2 slices Domino’s.
Now let me go cry in a corner over no one caring what nutrition I’m upholding my sacred temple with.
Boo-hoo (peeks from between fingers to see who’s watching.)
What? My foodage is weird? Come on, you must eat weird too, don’t ya? Sometimes? Ever? Confess all to the Jannie-Meister — after all it’s just you ‘n me reading this.

1. Why does an hour of blogging seem like 5 minutes but an hour of barre chord practice seem like 5 hours?
2. Why, when there are 20 (I kid you not,) of my husband’s salad dressings in the fridge, does he usually polish off my only favorite — the Newman’s Balsamic Vinaigrette?
3. Why does same (wonderful, loving,) husband still ask me where the scissors, stapler and pens are — when I’ve kept them in the same location for almost 19 years?
4. Why hasn’t my hair, except for the bangs, gotten noticeably longer since I last had it cut at Great Clips six months ago?
5. Why do I live in hope I’ll find some thong underwear that are actually comfortable?
6. And why, oh why, are there so many songs about rainbows and what’s on the other side?

When I was 6 my new stuffed panda up and disappeared and I’ve never gotten over it. I still think it might turn up any day.
Same for the Alden Nowlan “Smoked Glass” poetry book I bought at a yardsale for a buck. Vanished in 1991. (Insult to injury, if you can find a copy now it’s worth A LOT.)
And last week I misplaced (I hope misplaced is the word, and not “lost”) my little digital recorder for songwriting ideas. Now I’m on my third recorder, as about a year ago my first one was stolen with my laptop bag. My laptop wasn’t in the bag at the time, whew. Even now, when I go back to the cafe where I last remember seeing the recorder, I expect it to be lying on the table where I chugged a half-caff and wolfed down some banana nut bread.
What is it with these things that go missing we’re never quite able to get over the loss of?!
What has gone missing of yours that you still think could turn up?
