I’ve decided to update this since the original is about as on-trend as shouting ‘WHAAAAASSSSSUUUUUP’ while wearing Uggs. I’ve kept my original ‘about me’ section below for The Smithsonian, who are someday going to have it framed on a wall next to my wax-work. You’re welcome, world.
I don’t blog under my real name however I think this blog is a place where I can be 100% myself. I am a teacher, and a lover of animals, poetry, literature, humour and astronomy. I love talking about anything, and the more I can learn, the happier I become. I love to meet new people, both virtually and in the real world, although it certainly seems easier here, right? So why not say hello, have a rummage around or leave a link and I can visit your blog. Here’s some fancy internet tea for you. Enjoy!

ORIGINAL
My name is Jane except it’s not Jane. Confused? Good, you will be.
Come in, make yourself comfortable. Take off your bra if you like.
I’m one half of a quite dynamic duo. He’s the Robin to my Batman, the Watson to my Sherlock Holmes, the Randy Jackson to my Simon Cowell. Okay, we spent most of our time on our recliners throwing Pringles at each other but once the Olympics makes this an official sport, you’re looking at two future medallists. So there’s that. We also argue about silly things. Wait, is arguing about me leaving teabags in the sink silly? Yes, silly things.
Because of my job in the CIA, I must remain anonymous. So technically I could be sitting beside you right now. *Allows you time to suspiciously look at the person beside you with narrowed eyes*
Come, peruse my blog and realise how normal you are compared to me. I look forward to you judging me.
My pleasure Janey!
I haz an award for you: the Sunshine Award. Feel free to partake or not. http://thehashtaggeneration.wordpress.com/2014/10/25/sunshine-award/
kthxbye.
Aw thank you so much 😀
Hey Jane! I have nominated you for the Lovely Blog Award…I bet you are quivering in excitement 😀 You know that I think your blog is amazing…and hilarious!!!! You don’t have to accept this award, but I would love for you to pop over to my blog and come celebrate! There will be imaginary champagne and lots of glitter! http://insidethelifeofmoi.wordpress.com/2014/11/03/my-big-fat-award-ceremony/
Made my day 🙂 danke!
I’m glad 🙂
Hi Janey, I nominated you for the Very Inspiring Blog Award. I know many are not into the award scene and I don’t know if that’s your case, but I couldn’t resist mentioning your blog in my post 😀
Hi Katarina, I nominated you for the Very Inspiring Blog Award. I couldn’t resist mentioning your blog in my post 😀
Thank you so much André, that really means a lot 🙂
Ahhhh, this previous reply wasn’t for you (the first was though).
The wonders of the award season and me listening to music and singing around while in charge of the copy paste function… result as you can see above – not good 😀
It can do crazy things to a person! Seriously though, I’m very flattered 😀
Thank you for giving us posts that make people smile. You’d be surprised how many times I’m going to work and thinking about what I read in some of the blogs I follow.
One of these days I couldn’t stop laughing with potential use cases back at work for the sentence “here is a seal of approval – good job” 😀
Thank you for the bra off invite, I’ve been waiting all morning.
Finally, someone gets me.
I have nominated you for a Liebster Award! https://foxyolive.wordpress.com/2014/12/07/i-was-nominated-for-a-liebster-award/ Acceptance is voluntary 🙂
Aw thank you so much! I will check out your post 🙂
You’re welcome!
You seem to be a hilarious personality Jane. I’ll keep an eye on your blog for my dose of humor 🙂
Why thank you 🙂
ThanK you so much for the follow! I look forward to relaxing in post bra state, and reading you blog! 😊
Haha, thank you for following and for making yourself comfortable 😂
Loving this blog so far.
Recently met an irish man any tips? haha
http://theredlandrapscallion.wordpress.com/2014/10/06/the-tinder-comedown/
Thank you! I had a peek at your blog and it’s great. I’m in the supermarket so not able just yet to have a proper look, talk about multi-tasking!
Irish men are so easy to please 🙂 Be nice to their mammies and keep him fed and he’ll be grand 🙂
The CIA? *gulps and thinks about running* Are you guys after me? I’ve always thought it was a possibility.
Don’t worry Professor…we won’t tell anyone about your secret love of Taylor Swift music. Or the moonwalking.
Dadblameit! That’s not true…hey, you don’t have cameras in my home, do you?
Er, no…of course not *laughs uncomfortably while disabling cameras*
You know what, this professor may forgive all that dadblamery, if you let me join. I’ve always imagined myself as an agent. And I’m already a warrior so that has to count for something.
Sure, just leave your conscience at the door and come on in.
I’m heartless…but I’m not sure how to get rid of my conscience, I fear.
In reality, I felt guilty when my Tamagotchi died so I also have a conscience. We’ll get along just fine.
What’s that exactly? Such a weird saying, I must say.
Tamagotchi? A virtual pet that I had when I was ten that I named Mildred and got weirdly attached to.
Rats and a Heifer. I feel strangely upset that I didn’t have one. Mildred is a good name, I think.
They were no substitute for a real pet but I was too young to be allowed one. Mildred is a wonderful name.
There are still Tamagotchis if you feel like appeasing your inner child.
My inner child died, I think.
Oh dear. Although that would make a great title for a book so…there’s that.
*laughs* That is a very good point. He died when I lost my heart, I do believe.
Jane you have such beautiful page!!
Aw thank you so much 🙂
I can’t believe I never saw your ‘about’ page! See what a new theme does! 🙂
Haha, it’s been here since the start! Actually, it could probably do with a change!
I think I leaped into your blog and got caught up in the mayhem. 😉
Haha, it is totally crazy here! I’m glad that you did leap in 🙂
ME TOO! 😀
Here, I’ve been saving one for you 😉
If you want to. 😉
Yaaaaasss!
This may be a long shot, but did you get, “Take off your bra if you’d like.” from the first Scary Movie? If you didn’t, spot on little lady.
Yes!!! Hahaha, finally someone gets it! Even when I was writing it, I felt like no one would get it. Miss Mann, so funny.
It was the very first thing that came to mind hahaha!
Great blog. I came across this as part of the Blog Pitch Party 😀
Thank you! Glad to meet you Gary 🙂
Thank you for following back. My son, who you know, recommended you, Tom at Cats at the Bar. I’m enjoying your blog already. 🙂
I was wondering about the name lol! Thank for following 🙂
I’m not here to judge, only to nominate. And possible steal an owl…..
https://weight2lose2013.wordpress.com/2015/03/13/the-cba/
Thank you so much! I’ve been a bit absent but I’ll get to this, promise 🙂 thank you
Can I keep the owl?
Of course! It’ll be a hoot. I need some new material 😀
Of course! It’ll be a hoot. I need some new material 😀
Glad to have found your blog, and you’ll be happy to know (or not?) I have shed my bra for the evening.
Funny bio. Looking forward to reading your blog.
Hey Maisy! Man, I love that name! Hey, we’re all friends around here, whatever makes you comfortable. Thanks for stopping by!
I linked you into a poetry challenge! 😀
Ooh, I’m intrigued 🙂
Wow!! What an Intro 😉
Loved your funny side. And Love to come often to have my dose of laughter 🙂
Thank you, dear for liking my work too 🙂
Cheers!!
Aw thank you! You’ve brightened my day 🙂
Glad to know that 😉
Janey! Where are you? I know that you’ve been nominated before, but……
https://weight2lose2013.wordpress.com/2015/04/30/versatilis-dardos-trophaeum/
As always, don’t feel obligated to participate.
I hope all is well with you,
Rob
HEY! Omg thanks so much for this 🙂 I’ve been basking in post-engagement bliss and trying to think of multiple ways to get people to look at my left hand haha!
Congrats, Janey! hahaha! Want them to look at the ring? Slap them on the side of the head and they’ll look. 😀
Thank you! Ha, I hadn’t thought of that 😀
So, all is well, Janey? I’m sure that you’re very busy planning things.
Everything is good, thank you 🙂 and I hope all is good with you too! In Ireland, engagements tend to be quite long. It’ll probably be a few years until we’re married but no harm in starting to plan a few things 😀
Janey, your guest blog has been posted!
https://weight2lose2013.wordpress.com/2015/05/20/janeys-guest-blog-2/

Rob
Oh brilliant! Thanks for having me 🙂 I really enjoyed it!
I love your about! You have a wonderful ability to welcome people and show them that they are great the crazy way they are… lol. I am happy I found you.
Aw thank you! I was just reading your ‘About’ section and it is very well written; such a great way to introduce yourself 🙂
Thank you, Jane! I love to find out about how much more “normal” I am … lol… I don’t think I will find big differences 😃
Ha, just give it some time 😄
😃
Hi, Janey! I nominated you for the Encouraging Thunder Award. I only follow you shortly, but what I saw and felt so far was enormously powerful. Of course you don’t need to feel obliged to participate. The post will be online in about an hour: http://wp.me/p4APKf-1go
Wow, thanks so much Erika! *does happy dance*
I will check out the post, thanks again 🙂
😊 😊 😊 You are very welcome!
Hi Janey! I know that you’re busy, but I’ve nominated you for a blog award. Please don’t feel obligated to join in:
https://weight2lose2013.wordpress.com/2015/06/03/dreams/
Oh thank you so much! I lost my wallet today, my car broke down and I had to walk five miles to get home but this really cheered me up, thank you Rob! X
That is one horrible day, Janey! I think that the wallet loss is the worst of the three. What a pain it is to get everything replaced. 😦
It could always be worse so I’m choosing to stay optimistic! There was nothing much in it anyway, except my Starbucks card haha. But now I won’t get my free frappe. First world problems eh?
No free frappe? The horror! 😀 I lost my wallet last year and was completely lost without it. It was only after I had replaced my license and credit cards that I found the original. Life is funny that way. 😉
It was found! I left it on a picnic table while I was petting a cat 🙈🙈 that’s typical me haha. So now, frappes for all haha!
That’s just Murphy’s Law, what happened to you!
No frappe for Rob that day. lol
Sorry to dredge up such awful memories lol
Hi Janey, I nominated you for a 3-day-quote challenge :). Don’t feel obliged to participate: https://erikakind.wordpress.com/2015/06/08/3-day-quote-challenge/
Wow, thank you Erika. I love this! I will do this as soon as I can 🙂
So cool! Glad you enjoy it being nominated. I am looking forward to your quotes! 😊
Jeepers Jane. *slowly turns head to look at 6 month old baby sitting next to her*
I think you pooped your pants!
Lol!!
Hello it’s great to finally find someone as “normal” as we are!
Haha! Hello! And great to meet someone so “normal” too. I’m actually doing exaggerated air quotes while typing…so talented!
I’m on holidays at the moment and my internet connection is poor, but your blog looks amazing!
Thanks bunches! Ok, what are exaggerated air quotes? Share, share, share!!!
I’ve nominated you for the Allergic to ‘E’ Challenge. If you’d like to take part here’s more information in my post. 🙂 https://naturallydreamy.wordpress.com/2015/06/15/allergic-to-the-e-challenge/
