Happy Birthday Jen

Jen turns 27 today. Here are 10 things you might not know about her.

10. During Jen's early years she made up her own swim stroke called the quinn. Since she is the only person able to do it she wins every time she challenges some one to race.
9. When my sister Susan first met Jen she thought Jen was deaf because of her strong Boston accent. Jen pronounces the word "arm" like "ahm".
8. Two years ago Jen learned how to play euchre. She still has a lot to learn.
7. Recently Jen went to see Justin Timberlake perform on his home turf of Memphis. Not even the searing hot pain of passing a kidney stone could keep her from going.
6. Jen has a very strange food palate. She hates dessert but will eat anything else as long its smothered in ketchup. She can also out eat most people, including me, at Texas De Brazil.
5. Jen is addicted to Starbucks. Her favorite barista Brooks knows when Jen is coming in and has her order ready for her. Jen doesn't own stock in Starbucks but she should. Jen's frugal husband Damon has asked her to cut back on Starbucks, but Jen threatened to cut him off.
4. Jen has a twin brother. They are not identical. They can communicate with each other using a secret twin language.
3. While growing up Jen was very small for her age. Her parents told us that one time a stiff breeze actually blew her down the street. After that they kept her chained to a tree in the backyard.
2. Jen is the Queen of gossip magazines. Each week she reads Us Weekly, OK!, In Touch and Star. After she is done reading it she tears out all the articles and pastes them into individual scrapbooks, one for each celebrity.
1. Since getting her new Buick Rendezvous last year, Jen has been pulled over 8 times by the cops for suspicion of vehicle theft. Each time Jen has to prove to the police officer that a 26 year old actually owns a Buick and that she didn't steal it from an old lady.
