🎄✍️ My Poem To Santa 🎄✍️

🎄🎅🎄🎅🎄🎅🎄🎅🎄🎅🎄🎅🎄🎅🎄🎅🎄🎅🎄🎅🎄🎅

Santa, you’ve known me since I was a kid,
Remember when I wanted a teapot with a lid?
You came through then, and lots of times after,
When I wanted cartoons, you brought me laughter.

But then as a teen I begged you and pleaded
For something I desperately wanted & needed.
I didn’t ask for skates or some rubix cubes, 🛼
My request was simple… Just give me some boobs.

You either got people’s letters but didn’t read them,
Or you simply decided I didn’t need them.
I was mad at you all year ‘cuz my boobs didn’t grow,
But then by my twenties, I gave you another go.

“Santa,” I wrote, “there’s something else that I need,
It’s important to me so I’ll beg and I’ll plead. 🙏
You owe me for the boob thing, so now here goes:
I got my mother’s eyes but my dad’s big nose.” 🥸 👀

You remember me asking if you can make it teeny?
You wrote back and said, “I’m Santa – not Houdini!”
In spite of your rejections, I continued to believe,
Surely my next ask, I’m bound to receive.

So at 40 I gave it another shot,
About those boobs, maybe you just forgot.
I could use them now, even more than ever,
You said, “When do you want them? How about never?”

Boobless and hopeless, I wanted something for me,
So I bought implants on sale – buy one get one free!
They’re gone now and that is good news,
But there’s still one more thing I can actually use.

I’m 79 now and my boobs finally grew,
But when I look down I feel kind of blue.
You sent my boobs but something’s bothering me….
Can you change them from a 34-LONG to a 34-B? 😀

🎄 Merry Christmas, everyone! 🎄

Here I Am at 79! 🙂

Here is an un-retouched photo taken at home. I admit I’m anxious about showing myself at 79 but my hope is that by showing how healthy I am, I can motivate others to adopt a healthy lifestyle. So two weeks ago, I decided to add a “Health & Beauty” page to my JennyCanCook website.

I wasn’t sure what to expect but it looks like a lot of people are taking note so it’s keeping me busy… too busy to manage both blogs. So for now, I am stepping away from this blog and plan to focus as much as possible on what I love the most: sharing my love of cooking and now my health and beauty tips. I seem to have made a difference with my popular recipes and now I hope to do the same by sharing my lifestyle as well.

As always, there will be no ads and no paid endorsements. I am not doing this for money, I’m doing it to make a difference. If interested, you can find my new passion at www.JennyCanCook.com or just click here. 

🍁 Happy Thanksgiving, everyone! 🍁

“We Have Company!”

Here are just some of the beautiful birds that stop by and visit us at home. They are a band-tailed pigeon, California quail, Northern flicker, and Western bluebird. There are lots more that come by every day and it’s so much fun to see them, but I don’t have much good to say about one of the others: CROWS! If they’re really as intelligent as they say, why don’t the crows come up with a less disturbing sound? They always sound like they’re upset about something.

He Loves Me ❤️

I wanted chocolates for my birthday but my husband gave me a fire extinguisher for when we light all 79 candles on my birthday cake. 🔥 Gotta love a man who looks out for you… 😍

 

Unexpected Visitors

“Wait a minute! This food is not for you! It’s for the normal birds – finches, blue jays, woodpeckers – not for you! Where did you even come from? This is California, not South America!”

I couldn’t believe my eyes the first time these gorgeous parrots showed up. I don’t know where they came from but they are now living in my backyard. I was feeding the “normal” birds for a couple of years but this year, these Nanday parrots came by and said, “Hey guys – free eats! Alert the whole gang!” It’s now become a daily visit (actually several times a day) and it’s getting crowded.

They come 10 or 12 at a time and they crowd onto the feeders for front row seating, shoving each other out of the way. It’s kind of like Black Friday when flat screen TVs go one sale at Walmart. They’re all trying to get there first. And I detect a bit of an attitude. They must know they’re pretty because they pose while they’re eating to show off that they can eat with their “hands” like we do while easily balancing on the other one. I’ve never seen a bird do that before.  I’m torn between just watching these stunning, colorful creatures or shooing them away so they don’t eat all the food in one day. You know how they say pretty people always get special treatment? Well these pretty birds are getting that from me. I feel blessed to have them coming to visit every day. I’m just waiting for bird food to go on sale.

My Christmas Poem

My Beef With Santa

Hey Santa, What’s up Dawg? You chillin’ tonight?
Don’t get too cozy, ‘cuz I’m about to pick a fight.

I didn’t get bupkus last year, thanks to you
I wrote you a letter – how much good did THAT do?

You’re lucky you’re up north and not down here,
I would kick your ass. Somebody hold my beer!

Listen, fat man, you better stop slackin
Deliver the goods or bad things can happen.

Just bring me my stuff – I am not jokin’
If not, you may have to sleep with one eye open. 👀

I’ve been planning revenge through most of the year
Be a shame if something happened to one of your reindeer.

I’d be careful before drinking that next shot of eggnog,
And you may want to protect your precious little yule log.

My list this year is the same as my last one.
I’ve made my point, so don’t pull a fast one.

Just bring the nail clippers and hat – no games or schemes
Or I will haunt you and your elves every night in your dreams. 👻

Now I’m sorry for causing you all this stress
Cuz I just found those things at CVS.

I still love you, Santa! 😍

Senior Discount



I turned 78 today. Technically, I’m in my 79th year and that means I’m approaching 80! I think I still look good but when I ask for my senior discount, nobody ever says, “Com’on now…. really?” 😀

My Glass Teapot Arrived!

Maybe it was hard to see the bright red “Fragile” sign on the box.

Maybe it fell off the truck on a hill and catapulted down into a concrete wall.

Maybe they sat on it to have lunch.

In any case, the teapot survived. It’s good to anticipate the worst but hope for the best.

I Grew My Own Cucumbers!

Where did I go wrong? I bought the plant, put it in the ground, and waited. I saw yellow flowers, then tiny little cuces starting to grow. This was so exciting! There’s no cucumber school but how hard could it be? I present here two of my better looking cucumbers: One is curled up like it’s taking a nap and the other one… well I don’t know what happened there.

On the bright side, even the squirrels didn’t want them and they tasted pretty good, after the challenging surgical process of trying to peel them. Next year: tomatoes! 🍅

Brooke Shields on the Jenny Jones Show

It was 1991, my first year on television, and my first big star interview. I was a bit nervous but Brooke Shields was so down to earth and easy to talk to. She openly talked about her career, her love life, pet peeves, and even took questions for the audience. She was super nice and the audience loved her.
