WHAT A SHOT….WHAT A GAME!!!!!!!!

Mar 26, 2009 - 10:03 PM

Okay, so Andy stayed at home (to watch Season 2 of West Wing….BORING) and I went out on the town hitting up Harpo’s for an FN’A reunion with Casey, Katy & Ben for the Sweet 16 game of MU -vs- Memphis.  The night was fantastically fun and the game was AMAZING!!!!!!!  The Tigers pulled it off in the end, but they were making me quite nervous.  Here’s the shot and the photo of the night!  I was rockin’ the KCTV5 Airwaves!!!!!

GOOOOOOOOO TTTTIIIIGGGEERRRSSSSSS!!!!!

It’s after midnight, I should be…..

Mar 03, 2009 - 11:16 PM

sleeping, or finishing my book club book (this is book #3 that I have not finished in time for book club, I’m the worst) but instead of catching up on my sleep or reading I thought I would catch up on jandyland.com!

It’s been over a month since I last wrote.  Between starting my new/old job, turning 28 years old, getting sick from something I caught at my new/old job and figuring out just what the heck is wrong with that Octomom anyways, I’ve been busy!  For those of you that don’t know, I started back at Punkin’ Patch on February 9th and I’m so happy!  My days in radio have officially come to an end.  It’s bittersweet in a way, but I knew that I had done everything I had wanted to in the crazy world of radio and my life was ready for a change and I couldn’t be any happier!!!

The job is great!  Right now I pretty much am a “floater” which means that I have a different room almost everyday I’m there, but eventually, I hope to be in a permanent classroom.  I’m into my third week and I’m just working hard at continuing to learn the different rooms schedules, all of the kids names and keeping their noses wiped (P.S. Winter is the WORST time to work in day care.  Between snotty noses and coughs, it’s enough to make you want to bathe in Purell at the end of the day!) smile

Other than that, there’s not much more to report at this time (sorry, I know I’m boring sometimes!)  Better feed the hay and hit the cats, or is it, feed the cats and hit the hay?  Either way….better head to bed.  G’night!

Hello to Mike

Feb 15, 2009 - 08:46 PM

Last week at Jamie’s fiesta themed birthday party we decided to record a message to our friend Mike & his wife Katie (http://ktyrock.blogspot.com/) who are currently serving with the Peace Corps in Africa.  The video will only make sense to those of us who heard the story of Mike trying to carry his mail from the post office back to his apartment.  Enjoy!

(Sorry for bad quality, accidentally set the video settings to low res)

UPDATE: Adam wasn’t at the party so he was not in the video.  When he saw that we made a video to Mike, in true Adam style, he had to try and one up us.  Below is his masterpiece.

A Jandy Fit Update

Jan 28, 2009 - 08:59 PM

So, tomorrow will mark two weeks for me since I joined Weight Watchers online (it will 2 weeks for Andy on Sunday) and together we are down almost 10 lbs!  5lbs for Andy and 4.5 for me.  WooHoo!!!!  I will admit, I did have a moment of weakness tonight…okay, a big moment of weakness tonight when Jo and I hit up the movie theatre to see “Rachel Getting Married.”  Here’s the culprit…..

Yes, the dreaded (yet, delicious) Peanut M&M’s.  I knew I shouldn’t have gotten them, but I did.  And I ate them.  And they were divine.  But new Jamie now knows instead of feeling bad for my fall, and continuing to cheat, I’m gonna’ get right back up tomorrow, dust myself off and start back up at the good stuff (and I mean the stuff that’s good FOR me, not the stuff that I think is good!)

I hope that everyone else is doing well on their resolutions too.  Don’t drop them yet, and if you already have….pick them up again.  2009 is the year of change!

President Barack Obama…you gotta’ love him!

Jan 18, 2009 - 06:47 PM

What an exciting week ahead of us!  On Tuesday, Barack Obama will become our 44th president.  This is AMAZING!!!

I’m so thrilled and ready to see what this man will do for our country over the next 8 years (oh yeah, I said it!)  I love that he actually stops to think about things before he acts, I love that he does what’s best for the people…and not just for his party, I love that he has given this country a renewed hope and allowed people (like myself) who never in their lives thought they would see an African-American President realize that in this life, and in this country….ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE!!!!

But, one of the things that I love the most of all is that at his core, he’s a family man!  Yes, our past presidents have been married and have had children in the White House, but Barack Obama is a man who knows that a great family with solid family values is so important in the fabric of himself and of this country.  I truly think that people will see the most powerful man in the world taking time out of HIS schedule for his family and realize just where their priorities lie and that they might need some serious readjusting.  Barack is not a man who grew up with a nuclear family, and that just shows what this country is made up of.  A family is the foundation on which the person you will become is built on.  Whether your family is a Dad, Mom & 2.5 children, a child raised by a grandparent, two Moms and three children, or a family consisting of no children at all….A family is a family, no matter how you cut it, and Barack Obama has proven that it is one of the most important things in our lives!

Below is an excerpt from a letter to his daughters; Malia & Sasha, published in today’s PARADE MAGAZINE.  Click the link to read the whole letter.  We’ve got one great guy taking the reins on Tuesday!  God Bless Him!!!  Happy Inauguration Week!!!!!

 

“When I was a young man, I thought life was all about me-about how I’d make my way in the world, become successful, and get the things I want. But then the two of you came into my world with all your curiosity and mischief and those smiles that never fail to fill my heart and light up my day. And suddenly, all my big plans for myself didn’t seem so important anymore. I soon found that the greatest joy in my life was the joy I saw in yours. And I realized that my own life wouldn’t count for much unless I was able to ensure that you had every opportunity for happiness and fulfillment in yours. In the end, girls, that’s why I ran for President: because of what I want for you and for every child in this nation. “
