The Legend

My photo
"One-N-Jen" Explained: It started many years ago, I would even say when I was first born. My mother loved the name Jennifer,but the bumps of the 2 N's irritated her. For practical reasons she spelled my name with a single N. I enjoy the artful look of the revised name. The only flaw is that I always have to correct people when they write it. My tale begins on an average day; a day of correction. I was amending my name for the billionth time when I created the masterpiece; an easy way for people to remember the spelling. The ingenuity was a stroke of luck and was an accident. "I am a One-N-Jen," I stated. It was then that the nickname velcroed itself to me. So it is: I am a One "N" kind of Jen.

Voluminous Pants


I performed today for the Special Speaker Series on campus, so I'm wearing my professional trousers. They flare dramatically at the bottom, making them voluminous. Although the flare makes my bottom look small, sometimes I do feel ridiculous. I wonder how many people think I look like a hippie.
I walk and my pants hula-hoop around my ankles. Back-and-forth, back-and-forth. Yeah, embarrassing. I feel like a clown in a circus that can make my pants perform magic tricks. I have to remind myself that circus and hippie pants are a state of mind...it's a state of mind, Jen...it's all in your head. That's what I tell myself, anyway.
