I am Jeanine. Sterotypically, I'd be termed a "soccer mom." That use to make me angry. Now, I guess the term is "adapted", I've adapted. These days I'm on a game show (not unlike Jeopardy). I thought that was great. Until I got there. What a disaster! I'm typically pretty angry, but this whole ordeal is just making me pissed. My animosity in its entirety has been channeled and is now aimed at the host. (as I've spent countless hours in anger-management classes, I have kids you know.) I'm not sure what his deal is, but he certainly thinks he's superior in some way. Of course he knows the answers. He's got the cards. You see, he may not know it, but I cannot be wrong about all of this. There is no way. I am always right, even when I'm wrong, which I might sometimes know to be true but NEVER admit. And my Muhammad answer?!? Come on! That was so unfair. I should have gotten that. Idiot! And then there are the other "contestants." If we can even call them that. They are complete idiots. Ron is a geek and Cindy a valley girl - she's got to be "like" 18. The thought I didn't notice, oh but I did. There's more to me than the green jogging suit and earrings might let on. Since we all tied - with $0 to our names - we come back for round four on May 15th. It's so far from over! Just you wait. Jeanine's gonna be back!
This whole "God thing" is confusing. Maybe my answers, and the whole premise of this drama - the questions and responses that are making people laugh - will also make them listen. Hopefully it will make them think about their Adventures in Missing the Point . And maybe, just maybe, being Jeanine will bring someone to Christ.
Back in college, in 2004 when blogging was hardly even a thing yet, I was here. Blogging before blogging meant anything to anyone. You can look in the archives for my past writings, but it was much more like a journal in the past. When we started fundraising, I messed around with the idea of launching something new for this new phase of our journey but actually hated that idea. I am a sum of all of my life and so much of it is here already. So I'm keeping it here. At least for now.
My main focus these days is blogging about our newest journey into the bizarre and wonderful world of gestational surrogacy. Posts dated 2013 and forward will trend heavily toward that journey. I don't promise everything I write will be about though. There might be other things that sneak in occasionally.
Please come along our journey with us. As the saying goes, "The more, the merrier!"
