As common as water

So my sister Jen is sick of her name. She is so frustrated with her normal unassuming name. She said that she may as well be called Jane Doe. She told me a funny/frustrating story about her name and I am going to share it  but first a little background.

She called my mom the other day and demanded to know who decided to name her Jennifer. Before she was born, they had almost decided to name her Kira. When she was born though, they decided she didn't look like a Kira, she looked like a Jennifer. Jennifer thinks that her name is boring and so common. She has had problems with her name for a long time.

It all started in kindergarten when there were 3 Jennifers in her class. At that age, they don't use your last name much so there was a lot of confusion and identity issues I'm sure.  The next time she had problems was in 6th grade. She was in the lunch line trying to pay for her food and the lunch lady informed her she didn't have any money in her account. She was embarrassed about holding up the line while she fixed the name issue with the lady.  There were 2 Jennifer Wards (apparently her name is so common that it is safe enough to plaster it all over the internet) at the 6th grade center. After all this hullabaloo with her name, in college there was another Jennifer Ward. She actually had an initial. A middle name would have helped Jennifer distinguish herself better but she doesn't have one. Jennifer L. Ward got all of Jennifer's emails.  She actually got a disgruntled email from this Jennifer asking her to tell people exactly how they should email her to get the right Jennifer.  Jen even got this Jennifer's transcripts mailed to her. On her own transcripts they had things that were dated and belonged with the other Jennifer. So confusing.  But wait, there is more. This next story is why my mom got the phone call.

Recently Jen and Cody sold their townhome.  The bank approved most of it but suddenly Jennifer was blacklisted.  There had been another Jennifer Ward that had committed bank fraud. They  froze the loan application until she could prove that she wasn't the same Jennifer Ward.  A simple social security number later, and everything was straightened out.  Now she feels like she should just go by her SSN so people won't get so confused. I told her that a ton of people would have 529 as their first name if we all went by our SSN numbers. She admitted defeat on that idea.  While she was calling mom to complain about all these annoying incidents in her life, my mom started singing her the go eat worms song. She then handed me the phone. Apparently I have more sympathy because I still have my uterus. Who knew?  I was laughing my guts out while Jen was explaining her aggravations while mom was singing about going to eat squirmy worms.

Don't tell Jen, but at Party Land I found some gummy earthworms I'm going to send her. She will laugh about it, then she will eat them on her pity pot. Seriously though, that girl is hilarious and I had such a fun time talking to her about all this.  She fervently told me that her baby WILL be named Jonabeetha (inside joke, she told Jon she was naming her baby after him) and that she would be unique and not have to go through the same torments that plain Jane Doe Jennifer Ward had to put up with her whole life.  I hope Jonabeetha has a sense of humor, she is going to need it to deal with her mom.

A year review in facebook statuses

I wanted to copy and paste all my facebook statuses for the past year. I thought it would be fun to look back at them. This will probably be a long post. My life has changed a LOT. Last year around this time, I was embarking upon a long spiritual journey. :)

Compliments are free and that's just about all I can afford so deal with it.   (10:56pm)

Dear Facebook friends, When you post your pictures, there are arrows near the share button on your photo. You can turn them so that they face the right way! Now, I'm not trying to be rude I just love looking at your pictures and it makes it a lot more pleasant if I don't have to tilt my head to look at them. I'm not a creepy stalker though. Yeah.   (9:15pm)
Nia- "When I grow up, I'm going to be just like you Mommy. Someday." Now that is a glowing recommendation and a great way to start your Sunday. Time for the primary program! I even have a part :p   (8:32am)

What is up with all the guys in V-necks lately? Eww   (12:19pm September 13th, 2010)
Is cleaning while her kids pretend to clean their rooms. There is a suspicious amount of giggling coming from that direction. I'm sure the giggling is proportional to the amount of cleaning that isn't getting done.   (6:54pm September 12th, 2010)
my phone is in a safe place where I won't lose it...   (6:11pm September 12th, 2010)
My life was deeply affected by the aftermath of 9/11. I know it is a day that still feels fresh in most people's lives. I'm proud to be an American and I am thinking of all those who suffered through this tragedy and may still be suffering.   (4:44am September 11th, 2010)

I'm a mother of two, I work in retail for a non-profit organization that does a lot of good for the community, my eyes are gritty from lack of sleep because of a really good book I started reading last night, I like to sing, and I am a Mormon...(Those ads on the side feel a little politically incorrect but they are catchy)   (8:10am September 4th, 2010)another successful Friday night :p Bejeweled blitz until I can go brain-dead enough to fall asleep.

has had a great day so far! Went and got a haircut with Nia before dropping her off at her school, she LOVES that kind of stuff. Spent the extra dollar to get my hair shampooed, it was so worth the scalp massage done by a seriously cute guy. I saved 14 dollars at costco on gummy vitamins and rice crispy treats (essentials) and now I'm enjoying a delicious pasta in a quiet house.   (1:17pm August 30th, 2010)

Dear Cafe Rio Tuesday special, I saved myself for you and it was worth it. Love, Natalie.   (2:12pm August 17th, 2010)

He brought me in a lap tray for my drinks so I could reach them easier. He did this all on his own.   (10:11pm July 29th, 2010)

wishes she could go to Mr. Lister's Opus. :(   (11:37pm May 18th, 2010)
"Do mi so do" That's the sound Tuesday makes.   (7:35am May 18th, 2010)
Do you ever wonder why you have all those people on your friend's list when the bulk of them never even talk to you? I usually just hope they play the same FB apps as me.   (10:56pm May 17th, 2010)
haha read this on a website. After watching a ClearBlue pregnancy test meter commercial that says 1 in 4 women can misread a pregnancy test, I've decided that those 25% don't need to have children. MLIA.   (10:01pm May 17th, 2010)
blech. That's the Monday sound!   (7:59am May 17th, 2010)
If I loved you, word's wouldn't come in an easy way.   (9:42pm May 16th, 2010)
When you only have two or three friends, it's easy to get lonely when they are too busy with life to talk/text to you.   (5:56pm May 16th, 2010)
is going to a rehearsal and then off to work!   (8:32am May 15th, 2010)
Sometimes you need friends to have fun with so you can just forget about stuff.   (6:46pm May 13th, 2010)
Oh happy day! Nia pooped in the toilet!   (8:42am May 13th, 2010)

So Kaden was up singing with the primary during the prelude music today. He's a little unsure of the words to the mother's day songs they were singing. It gets to a part where it says Mother I love you and he points at me all cool like. Cracked me up and touched my heart.   (11:00pm May 9th, 2010)
Don't worry, someday this will all be worth it!   (10:12pm May 9th, 2010)
Curses to ice cream and exes!   (10:04am May 8th, 2010)

It burned the whole time and I couldn't see and I just had to sit there. The hour before wasn't pleasant either. Oh well, at least it's good for me!   (6:50pm May 6th, 2010)

blech.   (7:42am May 3rd, 2010)

Thank you, friend, for being the answer to my unspoken prayer.   (11:21pm April 27th, 2010)
You are on my mind and in my prayers. I'm sorry that life keeps throwing poop at you.   (10:46pm April 26th, 2010)
Did you know it's pretzle day? Nia and I got free pretzles at pretzle time for singing twinkle twinkle little star. Haha   (1:21pm April 26th, 2010)
Surprise! It's like finding 3 nuts in your peanut!   (9:48pm April 24th, 2010)
Icky donation of the day: underwear with the pad still stuck to it.   (11:02am April 24th, 2010)

One time when I was at church, the first councilor was conducting. When he announced our rest hymn, which was Let us all Press On, he said that we would sing Let us all Pass On. The bishop probably laughed the hardest.   (11:04pm April 17th, 2010)
where's 70 children when you need them?   (2:20am April 17th, 2010)
Nia wipes kisses off. Today my mom asked her why. She said "So I can get more kisses!" awww   (10:25pm April 14th, 2010)

We take so many things for granted. Like the ability to talk and having 2 ears! I still have 2 ears at least.   (11:33pm March 25th, 2010)
Sometimes I read the status messages in a petulant 3 year old voice. Kids crack me up when they talk in third person.   (8:59am March 25th, 2010)
has an audition tomorrow and she is losing her voice. :(   (9:47pm March 22nd, 2010)
Sadly, not everyone has a happy ending in their story. Or a happy beginning and middle. The most that some people can hope for are happy moments. Be thankful for all that you have. Life is too short to wish for things to be better. Enjoy what you DO have NOW!   (2:33am March 22nd, 2010)
thinks it is amazing that as a mother you can go from knowing everything to knowing nothing at random times during the day.   (7:36pm March 18th, 2010)
What are some of your pet peeves?   (11:14pm March 14th, 2010)
Apologizing does not always mean that you are wrong and they are right. It just means you value the relationship more than your ego. -I don't know who said it but I thought it was awesome   (10:37am March 13th, 2010)
Scissors are overpowered. Rock is fine. -Paper   (10:47pm March 12th, 2010)

Just saw When in Rome. Great movie!   (10:43pm February 27th, 2010)

Name that movie: What do you want me to do? Dress in drag and do the hula?   (10:04am February 25th, 2010)
It's almost Friday. We can do this!   (8:04am February 25th, 2010)
is glad she cracks herself up. Constant entertainment since I can't get away from myself!   (6:10pm February 24th, 2010)
was doing so well and now everything is thrown for a loop. How can something so innocent change our emotional equilibrium so dramatically?   (5:15pm February 23rd, 2010)
My rental car is sweet! I hope it takes a long time to fix my car haha.   (3:14pm February 22nd, 2010)

This morning, Kaden told me my curling iron was bad for my hair and that it made my hair lmoltershale. He then proceeded to try and get me to get an in-styler.   (8:32am February 21st, 2010)

Ah Kettle corn how I love thee! Sweet and salty at the same time.   (9:37pm February 18th, 2010)
Our imperfections make us the unique individuals that we are and are the reason why we are so interesting, love-able, and human. How we deal with and overcome our weaknesses show our strength of character.   (10:12am February 18th, 2010)
Uh oh! From the age of thirty, humans gradually begin to shrink in size. I'm doomed.   (11:34pm February 15th, 2010)
Thank you for caring about my life and being there for me even if it was just a small chat to ask me how I've been or to tell me hi. I have some good friends that make getting through tough times a little easier. The stress is slowly abating and life is getting back to normal. I know I'm silly and there are so many out there who are worse off than I am. I need to keep remembering that and stop focusing on myself. :)   (12:25am February 15th, 2010)
hates that she makes typos when updating her status with her phone. :p   (6:23pm February 14th, 2010)

Cuddly blanket and book weather.   (9:19pm February 9th, 2010)

feels like she is getting sick, the stress may be doing her in. :p   (9:08am February 6th, 2010)

apparently prefers geeks, even in her dreams!   (5:54pm February 3rd, 2010)
copy and paste this status if You know someone who is an AWESOME mom! Someone that doesn't give up even when their kids are non-compliant and cause eye-ticking! Thank that mom for doing her best to raise up children that won't turn into psychopathic killers someday. Thanks Marie Oliver Peterson for all you do!   (9:42pm February 2nd, 2010)
thinks the FB trendy status things are fun, especially when you are at your wit's end and just simply cannot think of a witty thing to post.   (9:28pm February 2nd, 2010)
needs an awesome status message that will cause laughter, insight, and love to those that read it! Pretend this one did that cause my brain won't work tonight. Thanks!   (12:22am February 2nd, 2010)
hates that texting has become the number 1 way of communicating. There isn't enough punctuation in the world to make up for hearing a voice or being face to face with a person. Take some time out of texting and typing and use the phone for what it was invented for! ;) This isn't aimed at anyone, just something I've been thinking about.   (6:52pm January 31st, 2010)
sometimes wonders if it is all worth it. :p   (9:39pm January 30th, 2010)

realized today that it's hard to keep 5 year old focused on primary lessons and they say the most random things!   (9:59pm January 24th, 2010)
When all your friends ditch you, remember there are always books to be read!   (8:30pm January 23rd, 2010)
It sucks being so funny when it hurts to laugh! I read that the average person laughs 15 times a day. I'm way above average in that category. :p   (7:23pm January 22nd, 2010)
got 30 stitches in her face and is now minus a birthmark. Good times :p   (2:45pm January 22nd, 2010)
The things in life that are worth the most are the ones that you work for the most.   (7:44am January 21st, 2010)
You never know what tomorrow will bring. Tell everyone in your life how you feel about them. They may be gone before you know it. :)   (6:01pm January 20th, 2010)
thinks life is too short to waste it being too scared to experience it.   (3:22pm January 20th, 2010)
When simply being with someone makes up for all the sacrifices, you know they are a keeper. Hold on tight and don't let go.   (10:47pm January 19th, 2010)
loves reading and listening to the rain.   (10:00pm January 19th, 2010)
has mostly weird friends. The ones that aren't weird are nice. Some are both! Some are my friend's because I'M nice. Which category do you belong in? ;)   (10:53am January 15th, 2010)
Natalie's quote of the day "f your stalker lives so far away, that's good. Then it's just flattering. They can't actually hunt you down and kidnap you for basement experiments in pain and tickle torture."   (5:03am January 14th, 2010)

It's WAYBACK WEEK!!!!!! RETRO RETRO Change your profile pic to a picture of yourself when you were young!! Copy and paste this and share in the fun :)   (9:17am January 12th, 2010)
Ladies, your red, black,pink, blue, white, butterflied, cheetah/zebra printed, and clear or nude bra colors made the channel 4 SLC news tonight. Facebook doesn't know who started it going but the Susan B Kolman foundation says it was a great way to raise awareness for breast cancer. Way to go! Post this on your walls and spread the word again!!   (9:25pm January 10th, 2010)

is glad her face doesn't hurt as bad today. I think I was in denial thinking that getting a hole poked in my head would be easy and painless. At least today I'll be able to laugh with no achey side-effects! Happy Friday everyone!   (7:53am December 18th, 2009)
had a babopsy. It's good that her twin isn't unborn.   (12:23pm December 17th, 2009)
Someone came to visit me at work today! My boss mentioned that they were about my age and good looking. ALL my friends are good looking, sheesh! She did narrow it down by mentioning a goatee and glasses. If anyone knows the mystery person that came to say hi to me, let me know so I can return the favor!   (12:37am December 16th, 2009)

Kaden woke up cranky today. I offered to make him cinnamon toast to cheer him up and he said, "Hmph, you always try to make me happy when I don't want to be." I think that's one of the nicest things he has said to me!   (9:07am December 1st, 2009)
Kaden informed me that animals with sharp teeth are carnivals. Lol   (6:47pm November 28th, 2009)

wishes Jimmy Johns was open, she is craving a #10.   (11:38pm November 24th, 2009)
Today, I had to volunteer at the hospital gift shop for a couple of hours which is usually a really boring job. About an hour into working, an old man runs in. He starts looking around frantically and I asked if he needed help. His response? "YEAH! My grandson's going to find me and I'm not letting a 7 year old beat me at hide-and-seek!!" I let him hide behind the counter for the rest of my shift. MLIA   (10:06pm November 24th, 2009)

A best friend is someone you can talk to every day, have nothing to say, and still are able to fill the conversation up. Sometimes you try and figure out what the heck you talked about and all you recall is a song about a douche...   (5:30pm October 21st, 2009)

Today, my friend ask me if Mormons celebrate Christmas, because I am Mormon. I told her that we don't, but we celebrate Nomrom (Mormon backwards), just as a joke. She believed me, even when I told her about the ceremonial green jello. She will be coming to celebrate with me on December 27th. I am so excited. MLIA   (3:49pm October 17th, 2009)
