Midnight again.  Work in 8 hours.  Can't sleep.  Did you ever have one of those toss and turn nights?  Well try having a toss and turn life.  I'm a born night owl with a day job, and I'm here to tell you I ... I think I fell asleep at my desk for a minute today.  I hope no one saw me.  Yes, I'm also one of those notorious cat nappers.  No, I don't steal cats; I can sleep, sitting straight up if need be, for a 10 or 15 minute nap and feel refreshed.  I don't think I did that today at my desk, at least I hope not.  Although there are some days I exclaim loudly (in my head) "just fire me and get it over with" I'm not insane.  I used to love my job, but now it's just getting on my nerves, but if I'm ever leaving it, it's going to be because I said so, and not with the office manager tapping me on the shoulders saying "come on, get up, pack your stuff, it's time to go."  Yes, you can tell, I've thought this through many times.  I've learned that sleep is precious.  So although I don't get much of it, I do treasure it.  I just think that when I go to work, I should be safe and leave my sleep at home.  What do you think?

Well, I'm still up, still signed on, I guess for a while, so try to give me a buzz, I'd love to chat.

Ciao for now, Jenna J

Well, we've made it to the middle of the week, optimism reappears in anticipation of the weekend.  Even if you're not doing anything on the weekends, for most of us, it's our time.  I think that if I were ever to retire, that will be the one thing I miss about work, looking forward to the weekends.  As a retired friend of mine says often, 'when you're retired, ever day is Saturday' and he's right.  I can't image.  I long for a time when I can work and play on my own schedule. 

I like to write and draw and do various other forms of art.  Sometimes inspiration hits you at the oddest times, and you know that if you don't act on it right away, the idea will fade, the optimism will pass, and if you try to recreate it at a later date, the results are never what you envisioned.  And so, I stay up late, since most of my inspiration comes to me at night when my brain can be relaxed and quiet.  During the day, my body, my brain, my very being belongs to the 9-5 and that's fine, but it just puts a damper on my most creative hours.

I've managed to catch some of my writing inspirations on my cell phone, which has a memo recorder.  When I have an idea pop into my head for a story, I just click on my phone and I can record it and play it back later.  It's one of the most useful inventions I've ever had the chance to use.  Now, I never lose an idea.

Well I'll be signing on shortly, about 2 hours from now, so give me a call, I'd love to hear  from you.

There are two intense planets visiting a very intense sign today.  With Venus in Scorpio for nearly all of November, and tonight's New Moon in Scorpio, I'm betting there's a lot going on today in the world where my blog articles go.   Astrology is a passion of mine and on a night like tonight ....  Anyway ... Venus in Scorpio urges us to scuba dive into the depths of our emotional ocean, and also bring new energy to our personal relationships.  The New Moon in Scorpio urges us to share a little more of ourselves with others, our deepest passions and emotions.  Scorpio, itself, rules s-e-x (and death too, but that's not where this is going).  With this ménage à trois twinkling in the twilight, tonight might get interesting for a few of you out there.  Enjoy.  Oh, and PS:  New Moons are the signal of "new beginnings" ... So write me back everyone and tell me how your night went.  Ciao for now, Amore.

Actually, I wouldn't say addicted as much as I'd say intrigued.  Every day I wonder who will call, who I'll meet, what new experiences I will find.  It's true that we're here for the people that call us, but that doesn't mean that we shouldn't or couldn't get something out of the experience - it is a social platform afterall. 

The weird thing is that I'm an intuitive, and that has helped me a lot to make the experiences of people that call me satisfying and dare I say comforting.  At least that's what I'm told; and that makes me feel good.  I started on Keen as an advisor in a psychic capacity, and I was good, I helped people, and that's what I wanted to do, but I find that flirting is less draining on my sensibilities, as I also absorbed a lot of the feelings of the people who called me, and sometimes it brought me to weird places in my mind, body and soul.  It was actually more draining than I ever expected.  Kudos to the advisors that are strong in their fields, they do good works. 

Flirting, however, not only allows me to give of myself to others, but I get a lot back in return as well.  I find myself daydreaming  during the day and wondering what the night will hold, and everytime the phone rings, I find myself anticipating the call, and that's an exhilerating feeling.

Having said that ... I hope you call me now, as soon as you finish reading this blog, knowing that I'm going to do all I can to relax you, assure you and make you feel as special as I know you are.

I've gotta say, I'm obsessed lately.  I'm enjoying signing on and flirting in almost every spare waking moment.  It's become addicting.  I actually considered skipping work today to see who I could meet during the day.  I've met so many wonderful people from all walks of life, from all states in the US.  It's got that "first date" feeling, and I can live that sensation over and over each time I sign on.  Who wouldn't become obsessed?

So you go out to the store, or an occassion, maybe a party, and there's tons of earthlings just like you - just nice people who would really like to meet similarly nice people, people they have stuff in common with, people who can introduce them to new interests.  Then why is it sometimes so hard to connect?

People who aren't confident can put up an air of "leave me alone" even if they're thinking something completely different.  People who don't talk much, can seem aloof, or bratty, when really, they're probably very nice.  How will you know, if you never say hello?  Sometimes people might seem "too beautiful" to approach, even when they're probably really nice people, who probably have no real friends because people are afraid to say hello for .... follow me here ... fear of rejection.  And the cycle completes ... back to the beginning of the para ... you know, not being confident..., afraid of being shut down?

Well, luckily for you all I'm an official people watcher/listener, a human observer of fellow humans.  I guess I basically just like to learn what makes people tick, it's so interesting.  I like to meet people, flirt with people, make friends, and sometimes (although I don't like it), i've made a couple- few frenemies along the way.  It's the cycle of life ... which, by the way is not a cycle per se, it's the whole of many cycles.  We're like a bunch of pinwheels planted on a lawn on a windy day, spinning around, cycling around, worried about whether other people will think we're prettier than the others or bigger than the rest, when that doesn't really matter at all.  The pinwheel's beauty is in it's uniqueness.  Sometimes the petals get dings and dents from everyday wear, but that just makes the sunshine on them a little differently, it makes them special and unique.

(drumroll please) (yeah, yeah, okay, i'm almost done blabbling, promise) The only person you really ever have to impress is yourself.  Love yourself, short or tall, the flower on the wall, love yourself.  If you like yourself, accept yourself, and know deep down that the person you see in the mirror each day is the real you, love them, embrace them, and then this amazing thing happens ... everyone else feels pretty much the same way about you too.  It's not something your aiming for, it just happens. And that really does complete the circle. 

Be kind, be a friend ... but first, to yourself, and then you'll be able to give that friendship to others, without even trying. 

Jenna's tired now.  uhh, don't say it ... haha ... just say goodnight Jenna.  'Til next time ...

 

 

I was up really early this morning.  I did everything I had to do as quickly as possible so the rest of the day could be for me ... before i knew it, it was 2:00 and i still had to get into the shower.  Finally, I'm done, and into the shower I go.  I must have stood there a while soaking up the hot water, it's so cold out, and before i knew it, the water turned cold.  I was trying to get warm, not cold.  After i put on my makeup and dried my hair, and put on something cute but comfortable clothes, I decided I wanted to make brownies.  Bad idea.  The mixer was acting up and I managed to spray brownie batter all over every part of my clean kitchen, and me.  My hair, my face, you name it.  So there I am on my knees scrubbing the floor, again.  Like Deja vu, I'm sure I did this before, yes, i did, just this morning.  I managed to salvage some of the batter and put the pan in the oven.  In about 10 minutes when they're done, I'll be getting back into the shower.  There better be some hot water!  Guess I'll come back later and tell you how the rest of the day went.  If you want to tell me how you're day went, feel free to call me or email me if I'm not online, I will definitely email you back when I'm finally relaxed and not otherwise occupied. 
Well, if i was going out tonight, I guess I'd already be there or at least be getting ready, but I think I'm becoming a homebody.  I could blame daylight savings or the lack thereof, or the long week it's been ... truth is, I can't pinpoint any one thing to blame.  All I know is that I don't think I can put my heels back on.  My feet are rebelling.  I wore these platform sandals today, red.  They're my favorites, and usually quite comfortable, but right now, my feet don't even want to wear socks.  They've told me so and I believe them.  I'm actually looking forward to a quiet weekend, which, uh oh, usually means it will be anything but.  Things usually go quickly from bored to bad for me.  I'm learning to embrace them both and just go with the flow. 

You know what I'm talking about when I say "one of those days" I know you do.  We've all had them.  First I locked my front door and left the keys inside.  I never do that.  Well I guess I really can't say that anymore.

Blab-d-blah ... boring, uneventful day - but still nice and somewhat normal afternoon ... and then ...

the outside light blew out, I went to change it and it started to pour rain.  I never did change the bulb.  It's pretty dark out now.  I broke a glass washing the dishes.  I bumped my head on the corner of the door, sharp turn, not looking, big bump.  I don't dare say the "what ....?"  I just won't say it. 

I just had the thought to polish my toes before I go to bed.  Probably not a good idea.  Polish on the floor, sheet marks on the toes ... yeah, really not a good idea.  (You know I'm going to do it anyway, don't you?)

Some people can be shy to make new friends, and that's perfectly understandable.  It's a crazy, scary and competitive world out there sometimes.  And sometimes, it's also a friendly, flirty, and fun world, especially when you can make new friends while in the comfort and privacy of your own home.  Keen is a wonderful place to make friends and flirt a little ... because we're all here for the same reason...to connect. 

There's no need to feel shy or inhibited with me.  I'm very easy to talk to and I simply love making new friends.  I've already met some very nice and genuinely sweet people on Keen and I am looking forward to maintaining those treasured friendships and making more too. 

I'm a redhead and naturally flirty and fun.  I giggle like a schoolgirl and love to laugh and talk.  So don't be shy.  Click on my profile and let the first few minutes be on me as my sign of friendship. 

Talk to you soon (or right now) ...

It's been quite a week, Halloween, the end of daylight savings, and now a full moon.  Most people are experiencing stressful lives these days.  No one needs to go it alone though.  If you need someone to chat with, vent to, or just de-stress, you should call me.  I'm here to listen and offer advice when you want it.  It doesn't matter why you call, Jenna is always here to lend an ear and offer the gift of friendship.

I'm the girl people go to when they need a friend or just someone to listen.  People have always been drawn to me in that way because I'm sincere and very sensitive.

I love the fall weather, walking outside in the fresh crisp air, hearing the sound of leaves under my feet.  A cool breeze chills and awakens your senses.  Walking through the woods, you feel like you're alone and far from all your worries and all the pressures of the world.  It's quiet but for the sound of the breeze blowing the last few remaining leaves on the trees, and birds singing as they fly back to their nests, safely home again.

That's my signal to come go home too, as the sun starts to set and the woods grow dark, and the chill in the air gets chillier.

Home again, it is warm and cozy, relaxing.  I pour a glass of wine, light some sented candles and throw a log on in the fireplace and wrap myself up in a warm blanket.  It's dark outside and I can hear the wind blowing ever stronger outside, like a storm with no rain.  Inside my cozy little place, it's dark too, but for the fireplace and a few candles, the blanket gives me a cozy huggy feeling and I enjoy the relaxation.

Let's have a glass of wine together.  Come sit with me on my big comfy sofa with puffy soft cushions.  We'll warm ourselves by a fire and enjoy some good conversation.  We can talk about what's on your mind and I will listen intently and offer stimulating conversation.  Don't wait another minute ... I'm here, and I'm looking for someone to enjoy some good conversation with.

There are so many people who just need someone to talk to, or to have someone who will listen to them, make them feel comfortable and safe.  Let's face it, there are just some things you'd rather keep under your hat because you think your friends or family will look at you differently or judge you in some way.  This is the place where you can talk about it ... our call will be completely confidential and I never judge anyone.  You can call me and talk about everything in between the earth and the moon and it's all completely confidential, safe.

Everyone needs to have someone to confide in, so don't wait.  Give me a call, and let's chat.

Sundays, as I just wrote about recently, is "my fun day, my I don't wanna run day."  That song by, entitled, Manic Monday, by the Bangles, is just one of those songs that says it all and says it right.

Anyone who knows me, knows that I place, although not purposely, meanings to each day of the week.  Mondays are a definite "ugg!" especially when it's nice out and I don't feel like doing grownup stuff.  I'd rather be outside, talking photos, taking stock.

Tuesday starts the confusion.  The time travel between Tuesday morning and Wednesday night is a complete blur to me.  I'm lost in work mode all day and it's all at I can do to get thru the day; I can't wait to get home.  Inevitably, I find myself saying, "what day is it?"  Even people I text or talk to ask me ... "what's today"?  Half of the time, there's a calendar in front of you, but you just don't want to look.  You know that the weekend is just to far away, and your eyes just won't let you look at the calendar, like it would look back at you and laugh. "Aha, your precious weekend is miles away."  (I have a really caddy calendar.)

Today, is Thursday.  I'ts the prequel to Friday, and the start of the weekend.  Time to do anything that needs to be done, so the weekend is free!  I love Thursdays.  I especially love Thursday nights, because when I wake up, the first thing I'll say is "it's Friday!" with a big smile on my face.  And then the boss will come into work and ruin it all, but hey, I'll get over it. 

Have a great Thursday night!  It's something to celebrate.

(I know I didn't mention the Saturday ... maybe I'll tell you another time)

Everyone has obstacles to overcome at one time or another.  Whether it be personal, professional matters little.  The one thing that can get you through a rough patch is talking to someone who really cares and is tuned in to what you're saying.  It makes me feel good when I can lend a listening ear to someone or give them advice on something that's on their mind.  I can hear the relief in their voice, because sometimes all it takes to give you a new perspective is spending time on something and then releasing it.  Let it go. 

I have my own obstacle to overcome today, I need to get past that non-rating and that negative two next to my name.  (I simply missed one call and now I need to get back on track.)  People must see that rating and think, "wow, she must be boring" or something like that.  Nothing could be farther from the truth.  I'm sure you can help me redeem myself and rid me of that nasty ol' two - that Scarlet Letter.  I can do it ... with your help :)


Call Me ... Jenna ... and Rate My Day!
