(Our most recent guest Mad Libber was Marie from Make & Takes. You’ll love her “It’s About Time” Mad Libs!)
Today’s “A Visit to the Dentist” post comes to us courtesy of Jen and is from the Mad Mad Mad Mad Mad Mad Libs book.
From what I understand, Jen of Tatertots & Jello is famous in the phenomenon that is the crafting blogosphere. Having very little crafting skills, it took me a lot longer to figure this out than most. I will say, for a celebrity, Jen is pretty dang approachable. And nice. And sociable. And cute. And she smiles A LOT. If only I’d been born with even 1/100 of Jen’s craftiness (or Becca’s or Michelle’s for that matter), I might dust off my sewing machine more often than once every three years.
Now that I’ve met Jen, I am looking forward to catching up with her at future blogger events. Perhaps if I stand close enough, some of that craftiness will rub off on me. One can hope, right? After the story you’ll find a few interesting facts about Marie. Enjoy!
A VISIT TO THE DENTIST
by Jen
Yes, this really is Jen’s life…
Name and/or nickname: Jennifer or Jen
Blog(s) and/or website(s): Tatertots & Jello
Where you grew up: Michigan , New York , Connecticut
Favorite childhood game: Husker Doo
Super cool mom moment (i.e., one of those moments when you were the coolest mom ever): I haven’t had many of those. Crepe night is always very popular!
Totally uncool mom moment (if you’re willing to share): So many of those. Embarrassing my children in public.
Your go-to “drug” of choice (e.g., Diet Coke, chocolate, Peeps, Venti anything from Starbucks): Diet Coke plus chips and salsa.
Your guilty indulgence (e.g., reality TV shows, pedis, chick lit): Chick Lit, love to read. Love any Rob Lowe movie or television show. Also I love any sales and getting a good bargain!
If you were stranded on a desert island, preferably in the Caribbean, which famous person would you want with you and why? Umm, Rob Lowe, although my husband might not be too happy about that. I probably should take my best friend instead!
Happy Monday!
Finding Home
Glad to know I am not the only one who has not gotten over my 80’s love crush of Rob Lowe! Brothers and Sisters isn’t even worth it now! I hope he finds something new to be on. Although none if it will ever be as good as St. Elmo’s Fire!
Emily
I have to agree–Brothers & Sisters is definitely not the same after Rob’s departure. He is a hottie!
Kristina P.
She seems delightful. And I believe I’ve met her, but considering I’m not in the crafting blog world either, I had no idea how big her blog is!
Emily
Another reason why you and I (and Steph) are such good friends…that whole lack-of-craftiness thing. ;)
jen @ tatertots and jello
That is sooo funny! I love your Mad Lib Mondays Emily!!
Thanks so much for having me. I think you are so adorable, beautiful and nice!

Emily
Awwww, thank you, Jen. It really was so much fun featuring you today!
debbie
I need to read more crafting blogs so maybe it will rub off on me. Wait, is piling laundry up considered a craft?
Emily
Totally! Piling laundry and dishes!
Christine
LOL @ debbie’s comment…yes I do believe stacking laundry is considered a craft! Love, love Jen and her blog as well…she is the crafty one! =O)
Emily
I’m thinking I could be super crafty if you’re talking how many ways to turn quesadillas into a real meal…

This is my first visit to your lovely blog. But since I read that you like Diet Coke, that means that we’re bosom buddies right off the bat! And I’m totally diggin’ Mad Lib Mondays. We frequently have Mad Lib Saturday and Sunday around here. And I’m sorry but no matter how old I get, putting “bum” in there makes me laugh. Even when I shouldn’t.
Anyway, the reason for my initial visit is that I’m a card carrying member of the “Tatertot Jen” fan club. (I am actually thinking of making cards, that’s not a lie). And having met her in real life, I can attest that she is both delightful and crazily talented. Plus she has super skinny legs that I covet. But that’s neither here nor there….
Thanks for letting me visit!!
Emily
Well, hello! So glad you stopped by, especially if you’re a Diet Coke fan. More of us need to stick together. ;) If you do design those cards, make sure I get one!
Steph
I have had the pleasure of meeting Jen a few times. She is so sweet and fun. Thanks for sharing more about her.
Emily
She is so sweet and fun…kind of like you. ;)
