Little bit about Me and my blog

About Me
I honestly thought I was never "cut out" to be a Mom or Wife. Then I met Mr. B when I was 20. I knew immediately he was going to be an important part of my life, I just didn't know how. We started dating about a month after we met and within three weeks I knew that I loved him. A deep, serious love I had never experienced before. He is my best friend, which may be a cliche, but it's true. Somehow, even though I never saw marriage in my future, I became a wife two weeks after I turned 23, and a mother when I was 25, and the first mother in my group of friends and immediate family. There was quite a learning curve, and even now I am completely lost about 90% of the time.

My oldest son Drew was born in January of 2005 and Jacob was born in October of 2007. They are fricking awesome, and they also drive me nuts.

About Janana Bee (The Blog)....

One day, in late 2006, while on my newfangled Myspace account, I decided to write a little blog post. Then I wrote another. More friends commented and then I wrote another. I was on a blogging roll! I felt so inclined, I decided to write it on a real blogging platform, Blogger! Most of my stories are about learning how to be a Mom and still trying to be Janna as well. Photography is also evolving to be an important part of my blog, also.

My blog title is a play on my name. My real name is Janna, but sometimes people have called me Janana (you know, as in "Janna Banana"). So while my real name is Janna my blog is called Janana. I know it's confusing, like I said I dove into blogging headfirst without thinking about the possible confusion. If I could change it now I would, but now it seems part of me. Feel free to call me Janana or Janna, I will respond to either one. Bee is not my real last name, but rather a combination of my maiden name and married name and also it's a nickname.

So here I am, trudging through life, working full-time and trying to be the best I can be everywhere, including bloggy land. I love and hate it all. (Don't we all? If you say you don't, you are lying.) This is my journey, told through my warped mind.

I really have learned a lot from blogging and the blogging community, and have made some great friends. Please feel free to comment or email me (or follow me on twitter). I will respond. I really love reading and writing blogs and I have made some good friends from this experience. Drop me a line and say hi, or leave me a comment. I will get back to you as soon as I can.

So I tried something new... Also Blog makeover Contest!

Something different, and I don't know if it was a success or a failure or something in between. Anyway, I hope those that read today's post at least find it somewhat amusing. I will have to out my sister, Amber in the comments who noted that "there is something very very wrong with [me]". I think she thinks that anyway, but I don't know if my last post helped my case.

Ah well... I added a little spot for if you don't want to comment... so if you want to go ahead and click a button, I will have an idea if you liked something (or not) without you having to reveal yourself. It's right down by the comment spot.

Also, if you read this and like this, please follow me. I need the self esteem boost, what can I say?

If you have been reading for a while, you have probably noticed that my blog has changed it's look several times. This is because my template is somehow corrupt and I have been trying to fix it, and no one seems to know what is wrong (and you can't email someone, you have to subscribe to a help forum. Really starting to HATE blogger). So on that note, I am plugging a blog makeover contest that Angela is having over at Bringing Creativity. Because I really would like to have a customized header at least, and her blog is very pretty. I would tell you to enter it, but darn it, I want to win.
