Five Things...

Found this blog which participates in Talking About Thursdays and I thought I would give it a whirl every Thursday.  I need topics to write about from time to time and need motivation.  I have been a bad blogger the last couple of weeks -- mainly because my schedule hasn't dictated much time, but still.  I enjoy blogging and should attempt to do it more often.

Without further ado:  Talking about Thursdays: "Five Things About Yourself."





1. My name is Jaye -- my dad named me and I love my name.  I have only met one other girl Jaye and it makes me feel special that there aren't too many of us in the world.  I used to go by Jaye P. (and still do to those friends who know me as Jaye P.), but for some reason switched to Jaye when I started working.  It would make me happy if you would call me Jaye P.

2. I love Coca-Cola (and will not drink Pepsi) and feel my day isn't complete if I don't drink at least one.  I also love all things sweet and chewy (sour patch kids, sour gummy worms, skittles, etc).  I have at least cut most candy from my diet.  I don't think soday will ever go.  And yes I know how bad it is for me.

3. I am too busy for my own good right now.  Work here at the Girl Scouts has me overwhelmed and yet I am still attempting to take a class for grad school, apply for grad school, hang out with friends and spend time scrapbooking.  Why?  Because i don't want just one thing to rule my life.  However a lack of sleep may soon make me have to choose.  That and not enough getting done.  How overwhelmed I currently feel makes me wonder how moms ever do it.  Is it a gene that gets activated once you become a mom?

4. My plan for when I get out of debt (stupid spending habits) is to save money to travel many places.  On my trips to take list: drive across country; tour the West Coast (fly into San Diego and head north); Australia; New Zealand; Texas... oh and many more.

5. If I could change one thing about myself, I would make it so I have actual musical talent -- but in a way that I could become a 'triple threat' and do musical theater.  When I was young, I would have changed my height (I am tall), but now I am ok with it.  However, I wish I could sing, dance and act.  Instead I love all things musical theater and my current obsession is Glee.  Makes me feel like maybe I could be good to (ha! in my dreams).

Jaye P - I loved this post and am so glad you joined in.

Good for you for pursuing grad school. I think that's great. And as far as your love for singing, etc, have you tried it? I think you should.

Looking foward to having you join in again!

Fun to get to know you! I love your name. Very unique. Oh and I am a huge Cola fan as well, not Pepsi so much, although I am trying to cut sugar out of my live, but just seeing the word "Cola" in your post is sending cravings! Yikes! Have a great day!

I've never hear your name and think is beautiful, different and unique.

Great list, nice to meet you.

Have a nice day.

Stopping from My Cup 2 Yours.

Hi Jaye P,
I'm a diet coke girl. Gotta have one every day with lunch. And I would love to travel some day, too! I think I'd start with an Alaskan cruise.

Nice to meet you!

Hi Jaye!

I'm stopping by from My Cup 2 Yours. It's nice to meet you. I haven't had the opportunity to watch Glee yet, but I hear it's hilarious. I've heard all the music, however (teens).

Because I can sing, I find myself singing along to the radio and it drives my daughter crazy. Have a good one.
