How do you spend your time away?

I had a wonderful time today during a scrapbooking crop at my friend Katie's house. Along with 9 other women, I enjoyed creating, chatting, and chowing down on yummy food. I always look forward to these kinds of days away.

Do you know if you share your name with someone famous?

I was interested in seeing what I would find if I did a search on my name. So I Googled "Jennifer Hopkins" and came across this site. It makes me wonder how many of us there are in the world.

What is your favorite color?

My 2nd graders started a new unit in math yesterday on graphs. Today I surveyed the class and asked each student his or her favorite color. Interestingly enough blue was the most popular. When I asked Leah and Elizabeth what their favorite color is they both said PINK! Their responses didn't surprise me. In fact, they just made me want want to buy the pink cupcake cookie jar below from Fruit Fly Pie even more. I think it would make a perfectly pink Valentine's Day present!

How are you feeling today?

This question and others like, "Are you sore?" and "Does this muscle hurt?", are ones Tim and I have been asking each other for the past 10 days. That's because our bodies are aching with our new workout program. The change in our daily schedule has been painful on our bodies as well as an adjustment to our family life. However, we're hopeful that all of our hard work will pay off in the end.

Could this be my last month as a consultant?

In 1999 I decided to become a Creative Memories consultant. At the time I was teaching special education at Grand Haven High School and it was a perfect way for me to maintain my scrapbooking hobby at a discount. However, not long after signing my contract, with quarterly minimums high and sales low, I ended my business. Then over a year ago CM introduced a new framing line. Since I was not teaching I decided to try again. Unfortunately the new addition was not profitable for the company and in December the line was discontinued. I am now thinking that February may be my last month as a consultant.

Should we call him Frosty?

It was a perfect day to make a snowman and the whole family took part in the construction process. We used a kit I bought a few years ago along with some sticks from the woods by our house. Elizabeth decided we should name him and Leah agreed. We'll see how long Frosty survives!

Are you addicted to blogging?

After posting every day last month I can officially say that I am addicted to blogging. I took a quick 10 question quiz and my results indicate that I will be a famous blogger someday. Well, I highly doubt that, but I have to admit I'm having WAY too much fun!
