December was fun, but now it’s time to go.
Our time together sure didn’t go by slow!
We skied, we danced and we made great friends.
After all the cake balls I ate, my stomach now distends.
_________
And then just last last week, I boarded a plane.
Headed back down South…I can’t complain!
California is nice, but way too cold.
Though it snowed here in Savannah (from what I was told).
_________
I’ve already read two books on my kindle,
and sadly, let my bank account dwindle.
My love is busy in Texas, making some gumbo.
But, alas, he arrives—the day after tomorrow!

December 28, 2010 at 12:25 pmWhat’s the song in the video? I thought you were going to crash! 🙂
I do enjoy the ditty, but I can’t believe you’re an E-book person! :O

December 28, 2010 at 1:21 pmHilray, the song is Ever Lasting Light by the Black Keys. I recommend you go to iTunes right this very second and buy the whole album. It’s really good.

Thanks for posting the video…it’s always way more fun to see videos that just pics or words.
And if your day job ever fails as a writer, cook, chef, or blogger extraordinaire (not happening!) but you always can rhyme. Poet, rapper, whatev’s…. 🙂

What books did you read on your kindle so far? I need some recommendations 🙂 maybe someday soon I’ll be converted to the dark side too haha.

December 28, 2010 at 2:56 pmI’ve read Redemption by Karen Kingsbury and finishing The Book Thief tonight. I try to keep the sidebar (to the right) pretty up to date with what I’m currently reading!
Adam
December 28, 2010 at 12:34 pmYou are quite the snowboarder! I need to know what song that is on your video since you guys have such great taste in music and all 😀

December 28, 2010 at 12:36 pmOh my gosh – okay so Adam’s voice is sex-yyyyy! 🙂
Love the poem. Yes – the Kindle! – downloading books would get me into so much trouble with an already maxed-out credit card! 😉 I joke…but it’s true…and really not that funny…
Estela @ Weekly Bite
December 28, 2010 at 12:38 pmSuper cute post! Love the video 🙂
Lacey @ Lake Life
December 28, 2010 at 12:40 pmAbsolutely love it! Especially the distending stomach, since I can relate after this past week 🙂
RhodeyGirl
December 28, 2010 at 12:43 pmYou are such a cute little snowboarder! Love Adam’s instructions as you go… sounds like me instructing Trig. You’ll be linking turns in no time!!!!!
jenna
December 28, 2010 at 12:43 pmgosh, i’m impressed! born and raised in the south i’m suprised you can even stand up on a snowboard! I guess its like surfing, maybe?
Tracey @ I'm Not Superhuman

December 28, 2010 at 12:50 pmThis is very cute Jenna.
California is cold? I’ve always thought Calif. was super warm.
I tried something new today and added a can of sardines to my lunch. I was wary – but figured I would be adventurous (like you) …that’s my way of being “risky”.
Kelly
December 28, 2010 at 12:54 pmIs Adam coming to your house to meet your parents??
jenna
December 28, 2010 at 12:59 pmYes! He’s coming on Thursday!
Kelly
December 28, 2010 at 5:56 pmIs this his first time to meet your family?
jenna
December 28, 2010 at 6:07 pmnope–we’ve all hung out a few times!
Liz @ Tip Top Shape
December 28, 2010 at 12:55 pmHa, I quite enjoyed this little ditty. And I have to say, after your kindle post I have started to consider getting one. I had similar feelings on it as you did before, but if you can be converted, maybe even I can!
Sara
December 28, 2010 at 1:01 pmFun little ditty for sure! I’ve never snowboarded—I believe though you are better than I will be, I’ll be flat on my butt.
Angela @ Eat Spin Run Repeat
December 28, 2010 at 1:02 pmWOOHOO Jenna you’re a champ!! Let me tell you, your snowboarding talents are about 1000x greater than mine!
Katie @ www.princessofpavement.com
December 28, 2010 at 1:23 pmYour snowboard has a mind of its own too 😉
grocery goddess jen
December 28, 2010 at 1:58 pmYou snowboard like I do! Well, I haven’t been on it in six years, but still. I think maybe twice I was able to go on my toe edge, too, but it was hard and scary. So much easier to stay on your heels and ride down like a sled. And that scenery is so gorgeous. Love Lake Tahoe 🙂
So glad Adam will be joining you ASAP! Can I ask – did your parents leave Florida completely? Weren’t they still living there when you moved last fall?
jenna
December 28, 2010 at 2:50 pmthey moved to Georgia last March!
Beth @ DiningAndDishing
December 28, 2010 at 2:17 pmmy good friend shattered her arm snow boarding this weekend! she’s a very talented skier so it was pretty surprising to hear. it’s definitely harder than it looks! props to you 🙂
Jil @ Big City, Lil Kitchen
December 28, 2010 at 2:28 pmToo cute! and yay for Adam arriving soon!
Kelli H
December 28, 2010 at 2:30 pmYour snowboarding video cracked me up. Mad props, girl!
Sarah K. @ The Pajama Chef
December 28, 2010 at 3:18 pmso cute! love it!!
Camille
December 28, 2010 at 3:50 pmHahaha, oh my gosh! You snowboard just like me! I find that if I face forward I go too fast and I am unable to fall on my butt if I need to stop 🙂

Danielle
December 28, 2010 at 6:40 pmhaha, great video! You did a great job! Soon you will get the courage to make that first switch to your toeside and then you will be blazing down the hills! Great song for the video too…and what a cute little poem 🙂

December 28, 2010 at 8:34 pmThis is so fun!! Where are you going, where are you going?!! HAHA I thought you were going to crash but you held it together! I’ve only done the ski route… I don’t have the guts to try snowboarding yet… something about your legs being fixed together by a board. I just can’t get over that!
Have fun with Adam!! Can’t wait to see what kind of crazy adventures you two get into in GA!
Laura Ann
December 28, 2010 at 11:13 pmlove this!
probably you should come down to san diego so you can see that all of california is not cold. :o) although, i guess it still might be colder than the south!
aubrey @ italktofood
December 29, 2010 at 7:23 amahhhh my home! I miss skiing. I love the view of tahoe. It’s so beautiful. I’m glad you had fun.
