So, friends, I think I figured it out!! A perfect blog posting schedule for me.
Wednesdays will be photo-only days, with a little description, of course. And Fridays and Mondays will generally see meatier fare offered here. Not that pictures cannot be meaty — I don’t mean that at all. Let’s just say, Wednesdays will be a bit of a “breather” day for me. Whoo-hoo!!
So that’s the plan I’m really really excited about.
I was considering closing comments on the Wednesday photos, to allow me to keep up better with bloggity wonders, but as people offered their astute input on that query, I changed my mind.
Can you all handle the updated Jannie plan?!
Can I hear some doopity-doos????
Love to all.

Totally forgot to tell you that I guest-posted over at Patricia’s Wisdom a couple days ago. She’s off to Scotland on vacation, don’t you know, Patricia is. Over there flinging her kilt to the wind.
And to tide you over in the image department, here’s a photo of me with an apparent wine glow when Kelly was 3. I really miss that pink hoodie — Kelly’s second bunny, a.k.a. Loveable Fluff Of Terror, munched it full of holes. You ever have a rabbit in the house as a pet? What a hoot that was.
And a Deep Question… Where do you see your future in blogging and / or the future of blogging in general?

Remember tree nymphs stole my digital voice recorder? Yah. But I don’t begrudge them, they’ve got song ideas they need to catch too.
One of the files on my recorder contained about 30 brilliant questions I’d compiled one day when I was feeling especially jaunty. A list for Kelly’s seven-year-old video interview. (A video which I’ll post here. Eventuellement. Probably in 2 installments.) Which will now have to be her 7 and 1/2 year interview. And by the time I actually get to it, it will be closer to her 7 and 2/3 year interview. Oh My God, my baby’s growing too fast. Where is the time going!?!??
But enough of that!
Alas, the mood of that jaunty day seems to evade me now and I can’t remember any of those inspired questions.
I’ve managed to eke out a few again…
1. Where do you see yourself 5 years from now?
2. What do you think is humanity’s greatest current challenge?
3. If you could go one place in the world, where would you go? And why?
4. If you could meet one person from the past who would it be? And why?
5. If you could ask God one question, what would it be?
6. If you could have your kitty answer one question, what would it be?
7. Who wrote the book of love?
But I need your help! I’d love to hear your ideas for questions to ask Kelly for her video interview. If you could please submit them to my EFCS (Everloving Funster Commenting System) here below, I’ll be eternally even more in your debt than I already am. Thanks in advance.

”The Sister” And “The Niece,” couple years or so ago.
Did y’all think I was up drinking beer with the angels ’cause I haven’t posted for 4 whole days? Nope, not going to get rid of Jannie quite yet, but I did give Rosie (lovely sister depicted in photo above,) my blog login info, just in case…
So… this weekend while searching through a box of old papers for my “Taming Your Psychotic Hamster” manual I came across the 97-word essay I wrote once to supplement the veterinarian’s assistant job ap I filled out. I was perfect for the position but never did get a call-back. What oh what, could have gone awry? I mean, was there something I said in the essay below that could’ve put them off?
“I’m qualified for this job because I’m continually dancing. I got a college education in the bathroom where I majored in biscuits and I consider myself very fragrant and wholesome because I’ve worked as a chandelier. I’ll be working to support my porcelain husband and our three dentists, am looking for a job that pays between $4.00 and $2799.00 a year and I have extensive experience using staccato leg-lifts and a whisper. Moreover, I have a naked attitude that makes me good for ice skating. I think these, among other qualifications, make me right for this rubber job!”
(Okay, so I did it Mad-lib style but what was I missing?)

LANCE, you are the winner!!!
Catherine said, “I’m going to have to call LANCE the winner with this post…. Thanks for the amazing and symbolic idea, Lance! And thank you Jannie, for hosting this whole thing… I’ll take a couple of photos of the disposal… Catherine”
Well, if that ain’t the greatest thing! You can read Lance’s contest entry in the comments below here. And if you aren’t familiar with Lance’s “Jungle Of Life” blog yet, you need to do yourself a favor and immerse yourself in his pool of lightness and well-being. So, in case you didn’t get it those first 4 links, the winner is Lance, Lance, Lance !!! And one more for HAPPY NEW YEAR luck, LANCE!!!!!
And I, Jannie have to personally give Glenn an honorable mention for all his totally mind-bending ideas, his is a one-off imagination for sure and I love his comments on this blog. And to each and every one of you for giving your ideas and making this such a blast, TANK THANK YOU ALL! Jannie xo
Below is the original post…
*******************************************************************
2 days ago I linked to a certain “100 Words A Day” blog post. Remember the heartbreaking hilarity of that effing clover?
Well, it seems Catherine is up for ideas on how to best set that clover, thus herself, free.
She writes, “I plan to ceremoniously dispose of the clover on January 1. It looks pretty much EXACTLY like the pic that Jannie posted. Any good ideas for ritual clover sacrifice? Throw it off a tall building? Run it over with the car?”
Jannie suggests that Catherine toss the clover in a blender with 1/8 cup of olive oil, a raw egg, 2 cups water, one dash pepper, 2 dashes salt, one hair of her head and a squirt of liquid dish soap. Whip on highest speed for 1 minute. Then pour the mixture at the rootline of the nearest evergreen tree while chanting, “Oogie, oogie, boogie-boo, I pour this goopy-goo on you. 2008 was rather sucky. But 2009 will be effing lucky.” [ But I am, of course not eligible to participate ! ] [ Edit at 9:45 a.m. Monday the 29th. ]
How ‘bout you, Blogging Buddies?? Suggestions how Catherine might sacrifice the offending clover? And whichever idea Catherine likes best, the WINNER will receive not one, but two, YES, TWO autographed copies of Jannie’s upcoming “I Need A Man” CD !! You may enter as many tmes as you wish.
Contest closes at 12:00 noon, Central Time Dec. 31 2008.

As I’ve mentioned in e-mails to a couple of you lately, how can you be sure who Jannie Funster really is? Or if I even exist at all?
Am I actually an 89-year-old man living in a drafty hut with 17 cats in Eastern Mongolia? Or a former champion mig welder putting myself through the University of Nevada law school by working part-time as a Cirque de Soleil contortionist? Could I be a spy with a penchant for munching raw carrots while flinging my bra in the moonlight, who couldn’t sing a note (let alone write a song,) if my double agent life depended on it? (Darn, I swore I wouldn’t mention the word “bra” in a post again for at least a week. Whoops.)
But … here’s your chance to know The Real Jannie. Ask me anything you’d like about me. Anything! Serious or silly, I will answer all queries to the best of my knowledge and my somewhat limited intellectual abilitites.
Fire away!
– Jannie. (Or am I?)
