Pin It I realize that naming this section of my site, GET OFF YOUR BUTT AND WRITE . . . has simply failed me . In fact, a few people that shall remain nameless (Berta ) have reminded me tactfully of this fact. I think I’m grateful for a life too boring to write about! Days back, weeks ago . . .well at least a year ago, I was tagged. It’s genealogy people, and I dismissed it and played too busy to respond. I’ve not been tagged since. It’s my procrastination punishment. This was it, genealogy that must be recorded and written down for future lineage of Jonna. Poor souls . . .
Jonna – ology
1. I try everyday to eliminate sugar from my diet. Every day has been a head hung failure.
2. I’m at peace when I’m home. I don’t like crowds. In fact, I’d rather not leave the house at all.
3. I’m 9 years younger than my sweet husband. This is good – he can never call me OLD!
4. I have a nervous habit…I can’t stop wiggling and tensing my toes. I also realize how weird that must sound. By evening, I feel like I have shin splints up my legs, and NO…..this does NOT stem from my childhood.
5. I love a clean house, and clutter makes my skin crawl. I’d rather clean toilets than do yard work. Feel free to use my toilets, cuz they are clean.
6. I play the piano, and taught lessons for years, taught dance and I also owned a hair and nail Salon. You’d never guess that by looking at my own pathetic hair and nails. (I must do something with my heels as well . . . crap . . . spring has sprung.

So, now I’m supposed to pass this award on to 7 people. I enjoy so many people’s blogs, so if you are reading this, consider yourself awarded and tagged!!! For now, jonna-ology is now complete.
LOL! You are a hoot! Loved this!!!!
I just about peed my pants when I read this:
“How many pairs of flip flops do you own? 2 pair – That reminds me . . . a couple of weeks ago, the prayer giver in Sac. mtg., flip flopped her way clear up to the podium. It was flipping annoying! ”
YAY! Someone else who thinks the same as me about the inappropriateness of flip flops at church! ; D
WE have so much in common. Thanks for this.
Oh boo. Now I’m tagged got I read all the way to the bottom. ; S
I will post soon.
Mom you are just hilarious! I loved reading that so much. Some of them I could have pinpointed, and some threw me for a loop. I love how you added humor to most of them…and then it made me emotional when it asked you what you looked forward to. I hope Grandpa is feeling better as!!! I will try and do this asap. I wish that you would do more posts like this. I love reading your answers. I just think your amazing! Maybe for your 31 anniversary, dad will let you get a new lawn mower. I think you need to do a post about the little Honda. That would be something hilarious for everyone to read! I love you mom!
Jonna, you have a terrific sense of humor. I try to write anything witty and I end up feeling like a big dope! 🙂 Thanks for sharing!
