February 28, 2015<br />
<br />
Pleading with tears streaming down your little face.<br />
"YOU PROMISED!"<br />My heart aches because someone broke their promise...<br />I know it wasn't me. I wish I could repair the chinks in your armor<br />
you've put on too soon.<br />
<br />
Pure snow flakes streaming - you caught a glimpse at the door.<br />
"Oh! It's just snow!" you said brightly and you were innocent again.<br />
Your childlike outburst won me over.<br />
<br />
Little friend- streaming down the hall with your fast legs.<br />
You shined with "ten more---ten less."<br />
Let's uncover your strengths, treasures.<br />
I promised I'd love you no matter what choices you make.<br /><br />I'll keep my promise.<br />

Mostly I say it to be funny but also, I enjoy both things. Like many people, I associate food with happiness and making memories.When I get together with friends, we get a bite to eat. Birthdays, Easter, family cookouts, there's always something delicious to eat. Although I come from a family of good cooks, my favorites are simple. So without further adieu, my ten favorite foods...<br />
<br />
1. Chicken<br />
2. Steak<br />
3. Sushi<br />
4. Peanut Butter and Jelly with Cheetos<br />
5.Cheeseburgers<br />
6. Greek Salad/Caesar Salad/Mixed Green Salad<br />
7. Pizza<br />
8. Bread - rolls, baguettes, waffles, biscuits, etc.<br />
9. Beef Fajitas, nachos, burritos<br />
10. Grapes, Bananas, Peaches<br /><br />See? Nothing revolutionary. Probably even a lot like a kid's list of favorite foods. What are some of your favorites?<br /><br /><br /><img alt="Get Your Fashion On, Jana Faith" class="center" src="http://i1105.photobucket.com/albums/h358/freeborboleta/Designs/Jana%20EDYR/EDYR-Signature2.png" />Jana Faithhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05787971346958938167noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7400448979672113580.post-35475011698484606062015-03-30T20:49:00.001-05:002015-03-30T20:57:35.516-05:00Day 6: 3 Personality Traits I am Proud of... <br />
<br />
Day 6: 3 Personality Traits I am Proud of...<br />
<br />
There's really no way to complete this challenge without feeling like a fathead. I guess I'll jump right in and tell you 3 personality traits that make me great. <br />
<br />
1. Honest reactions and Honest Answers<br />
I cannot lie nor do I want to lie. If you want the truth, ask me a question then look at my facial expression. It always says what I'm thinking before my mouth does. <br />
<br />
2. I have good manners.<br />
Whether at QuikTrip (local gas station), at work, at church, or at school, good manners are important. Manners matter when holding doors. Yes ma'am and no sir aren't reserved for elderly only. It applies from the youngest pre-k students at school to anyone you see out and about. Manners help my communication with students and parents. They help with coworkers. And that old saying, "You catch more bees with honey than with vinegar" is true. If you're polite, people are a lot more willing to help you or just plain be around you. So YAY manners!<br />
<br />
3. I have a big heart.<br />
People are important. Friends are important. Family is important. Students are important. I rarely come across a person I don't like and when I've decided you're my friend, you are. I feel things deeply and wish I could fix problems. I worry about my students a lot. I know I was made for teaching. I think people are fascinating and there's almost always room for another friend. <br />
<br />
Seriously, no way to write any of that without feeling super gloat-y. What are your favorite personality traits? <br />

<br />
Day 5: My guilty pleasure<br />
<br />
I asked my husband what he thought my guilty pleasure was. "Oh, you have a lot of them. You like booty music. Any songs about booties, but I feel like they're not really guilty pleasures because you don't mind talking about it."<br />
<br />
True story, ya'll. I do love a good song about booties. First of all, it's funny. Call me juvenile, but it's plain hilarious and I don't know how anyone can be serious when they're singing about booties. So funny! Second of all, booty songs usually have a good beat. The truth about me is there's no way I can dance inappropriately so booty songs are just silly in my book. <br />
<br />
May I present to you.... my "guilty pleasure"<br />

<br />
Day 4- My Earliest Memory<br />
<br />
As an early childhood educator, I know research shows the first two years are the most critical in development and growth. That being said, most people don't <i>remember</i> anything from their first two years of life. I know I was dearly loved and my mom spent lots of time talking to me and took me everywhere. I know when she complained about her back hurting, my daddy fussed, "Well, wiiiiife, if you'd put her down your back would feel better." I know I never lacked for quality time with a loving adult.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://s613.photobucket.com/user/bananachica1/media/Mobile%20Uploads/2015-03/227342E3-4B15-4BFB-B0E3-7B30EE852F78.png_zpso3zbf7o1.jpeg.html" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo 227342E3-4B15-4BFB-B0E3-7B30EE852F78.png_zpso3zbf7o1.jpeg" border="0" src="http://i613.photobucket.com/albums/tt220/bananachica1/Mobile%20Uploads/2015-03/227342E3-4B15-4BFB-B0E3-7B30EE852F78.png_zpso3zbf7o1.jpeg" height="320" width="315" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
My earliest memories must be between 3 and 4 years old. I remember standing on my bed looking in a mirror to cut my bangs. I had a sense of foreboding, a quickening in my chest, knowing it was something I shouldn't be doing. I remember going to the zoo with my parents and my big brother. My brother and I were really good pals. I remember wearing my swimsuit outside to play with tubs and buckets of water in the driveway. The obvious thing to do when swimsuits get wet is take them off. (I jest because that's what I did.) I remember being flogged by a rooster. <br />
<br />
There's an abundance of pictures from my
childhood, so I can never tell where the picture end and the memories
begin. One thing is certain; my earliest memory is love. <br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
Day 3- Meaning of my business name - FearlessFaithVintage<br />
<br />
I love "rescuing" vintage. I have loved vintage from the time I was a child. My elementary school yearbook has proof!<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://s613.photobucket.com/user/bananachica1/media/Mobile%20Uploads/2015-03/7853c9e3-16da-46ec-a883-1295c86069c9_zpssuydinds.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo 7853c9e3-16da-46ec-a883-1295c86069c9_zpssuydinds.jpg" border="0" src="http://i613.photobucket.com/albums/tt220/bananachica1/Mobile%20Uploads/2015-03/7853c9e3-16da-46ec-a883-1295c86069c9_zpssuydinds.jpg" height="277" width="320" /></a></div>
That shirt I'm wearing was delightful. The colors were incredibly UNFLATTERING on me...but neither here nor there at this point. Proof is in the pudding, vintage is and always has been my jam.<br />
(I was <i>obviously </i>concerned that "me" wouldn't suffice, hence me also adding "Jana".) <br />
<br />
2 Timothy 1:7 "For God did not give us a spirit of fear but of power and love and self-control" (English Standard Version) I have a tendency to overthink things and I knew God would not allow me to love vintage so much without a purpose. So I stepped out fearlessly and began selling vintage on Etsy and Instagram. I've made some diverse virtual friendships and learned running a business is harder than it looks.<br />
<br />
And finally, Faith is two fold; it's my middle name but it also means I have faith in Jesus and know my Heavenly Father always provides what I need and more than enough.<br />
<br />

Day 1: Introduction<br />
<br />
<br />
Many regular readers of Every Day is Your Runway already know me in real life, so an "introduction" may be redundant. But... after months of silence and a good talk with a friend, I'm making time.<br />
<br />
Hi! I'm my daddy's baby and my momma's only. This is why I'm rotten, not spoiled rotten with things, but spoiled rotten with love. I'm a perfect mix of my mom and my dad. I love people and I really love children. I wanted to be a country singer when I was six years old but now I hardly listen to country music. My favorite songs as a child were "All my exes live in Texas" and "Boot Scootin' Boogie". <br />
<br />
I started dance lessons when I was three. I took karate for a month because I thought the gi was cute. I used to eat chapstick and made "blush" from ground up sandstones. I love the purple flowers most people call weeds. I call them horsey-head flowers because they look like horses heads.<br />
<br />
I have two sisters and a brother. My momma is one of my best friends. I was the apple of my Grannaw's eye and my Grandma Jessie thought I had perfect eyebrows. People used to say I looked like Aunt Martha, but I say I look like me.<br />
<br />
I'm theatrical and dramatic and never give the short answer. I have the "G-Gene" and I'm proud of it. I'm married to Joe. He's still the cutest guy I've ever seen. <br />
<br />
I teach first graders and kids are my favorite kind of people. I watch way too much television. I'm a perfectionist who's too hard on herself but kind of like Joan of Arc, "I'm not afraid. I was born to do this," teach, that is.<br />
<br />
I love Jesus. I like glitter. Three things I'm good at: sleeping, eating, and reading. Kids wave at me in random places like the movie theater. I cry easily, when I'm happy, sad, frustrated, or angry. I love with my whole heart.<br />
<br />
I miss my Color Guard days of high school but still enjoy dance class with my favorite Miss Patti. I identify with being artsy even though I don't make lots of art. I consider my artistic outlet my outfits. Thrifting is my favorite hobby, today, anyway.<br />
<br />
I still chew my nails, even though my big brother told me not to. I love all things vintage and there's not a lot of fashion styles I dislike. I wish I would have taken that extra six hours of Spanish so I could have minored in it.<br />
<br />
I guess that about sums me up.... Hi. I'm Jana Faith and I think I'm pretty great. Most of the time. <br />
<br />
<br />

Is this thing on? Sunday Social with Neely & Ashley <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<b>1. Favorite Genre of Music?</b><br />
Generally, I like poppy music with a good beat for dancing. I especially love songs about booties and shaking them e.g. Jason Derulo's Wiggle Wiggle, Baby Got Back, Country Girl Shake it for Me, and the like. This is hysterical because in spite of nearly three decades of dance instruction under my belt, my club dancing is atrocious and I dance shamelessly.<br />
<br />
<b>2. Favorite Genre of movies?</b><br />
When watching at home, the cheesier the acting, the better I like them. Late 90s-Early 2000s movies, 80s Brat Pack movies, Disney Channel movies and ABC Family have some of the best. When watching in theaters, I enjoy superhero movies, romantic comedies, family movies, but not anything that is stereotypically "boy" movies. <br />
<br />
<b>3. Do you watch Reality TV? If so what was the first show you
remember watching: </b><br />
I remember the first season of American Idol. It was my freshman year of college and I remember laughing so hard my sides hurt with my parents. I watch America's Got Talent, So You Think You Can Dance, and I like a lot of what's on TLC. <br />
<br />
<b>4. Actress you’d want to be BFF’s with? </b><br />
This feels like a cliche answer right now because she's gotten really popular but I like Jennifer Lawrence. She seems like a normal person. I also really like Mariska Hargitay from Law & Order SVU. <br />
<br />
<b>5. Actor you’d be happy to be stuck on an island with? </b><br />
I'd choose Tom Hanks because he's got prior experience with being stuck on an island. Maybe he'd have pointers on how to get home quicker. (<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cast_Away">Cast Away, 2000</a>)<br />

I've been hinting around at a hair cut for a while. I actually scheduled the appointment a month ago and nearly kept the secret from everyone... For a long time I've said, "When I cut it, I'm going big. At least ten inches". I knew it was DEFINITELY time to cut my hair for several reasons:</div>
<ul>
<li>My hair grossed me out. I know that sounds crazy but I'm kind of hair phobic. </li>
<li>When my husband (or anyone) hugged me, it pulled my hair </li>
<li>75% of the time my hair was in a ponytail. </li>
<li>It took for.ev.er to dry this horse tail -aka my hair</li>
<li>The more I thought about shorter hair, the more I was READY! </li>
<br />

<br />
</ul>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Donating my hair to <a href="http://www.locksoflove.org/">Locks of Love</a> has been on my Bucket List for some time now and knowing it goes to a child who needs it.... that makes it even more special. <br />

Alright, it's happened. I'm joining THE bandwagon. I watched Desiree Hartsock's entire season of The Bachelorette and was glued. I loathed myself for becoming addicted. The damage has been down and now, I'm live blogging (live typing???) and posting once it's done.</div>

<li>(Roll season previews) These crybabies. Why are they surprised at the things that happen on this show?! Frustrating!</li>
<li>I am having so much fun repeating what Juan Pablo says in my own imitation of him. </li>
<li>Sean just said he knew he'd picked the right girl when he was scrubbing his dog with tomato juice and baking soda with his fiance. To which I exclaimed, "Now, THAT'S a show I'd watch!" Seriously, what if they put couples in real life scenarios like a) steam cleaning carpets b) plunging toilets c) scrubbing skunk stench? Alert the media, I have an idea! </li>
<li> I may be the ONLY woman in America who does NOT want a hug from Juan Pablo. Maybe there's something wrong with <i>me</i>??? I may give descent side hugs, but please, keep your hugs to yourself, sir. </li>
<li>Your Spanish is <i>terrible</i>, Chelsea. </li>
<li>Amy J. Massage Therapist. One word, two syllables. Awk-ward</li>
<li>Lauren from Edmond, please make Oklahoma proud. I dig your tragus piercing so I have high hopes. Wait! A man broke you heart a year ago? I'm sorry for that. Really, I am. Is this the best time for you to be pursuing a serious commitment?</li>
<li>Girl whose family is of Mexican descent whose name I missed (32), your Spanish is going to kick Chelsea's Spanish in the booty! </li>
<li>Oh, help him. More than 25?! 27...... nevermind... must not have been <i>THAT </i>overwhelming....</li>
<li>Awkward Pause City, here we come!</li>
<li>Awww, she brought her a bracelet! That's so sweet! Genuinely thoughtful and probably memorable. </li>
<li>How are you <i>supposed </i>to react to a bunch of women fan-girling in the back of a limo? </li>
<li>I notice everyone using <i>any </i>Spanish phrases they know. Heck! <u>Hola</u> will do. </li>
<li>Lucy's job is "free spirit"? Where do I apply for that job?</li>
<li>These women's gowns are all lovely. I'd wear every single one.</li>
<li>Lauren S. - you are a talented pianist. It's okay you made a mistake. "If you can't make a mistake, you can't make anything!"</li>
<li>I like you Chelsie, Earth Science teacher lady. Corny pick up line and all! </li>
<li> Ashley, first grade teacher, gold star. Mayyyyyybe I'm partial, but....teacher ladies have the corny factor on lock-down. Represent!</li>
<li>For. the. love. Why is Clare pretend pregnant?</li>
<li>Amy J., I super dig your hair. I may need to find a picture of you to take to a stylist....</li>
<li>My favorites always have sincere, non-showy first impressions. </li>
<li>Maggie! You're little accent is so endearing! I hope you get to stay so I can hear you some more. </li>
<li>OH WHAT A CUTE DOGGY! Kelly, you look like Jessica Rabbit. That is a compliment because she's a hot tamale. She's also not bad. She's just drawn that way. </li>
<li>Juan Pablo, you get points for complimenting Sharleen's dress. </li>
<li>Andi tells the Bachelor, "You're pretty cute." *raises eyebrow* Right. </li>
<li>Anyone else ever noticed how a bunch of women talking really do sound like a hen house? Just me? </li>
<li>"It feels like you're meat. That they wanna eat you." BAHAHAHA!!!</li>
<li>Lipstick on your potential boyfriend's cheek that is not the same color as yours....</li>
<li>Lucy, I like your flower crown, your dress, your style, you free spirit..... I'm not sure Juan Pablo gets your schtick. </li>
<li>Stop it. Stopitstopitstopit! Massage therapist lady, QUIT! You're making us ALL uncomfortable. No. Oh dear. No. Ick. You make me need to throw up. Juan Pablo even thinks you're awkward. Don't. </li>
<li> How many times do you think we'll hear, "If I don't get a rose, I will be absolutely devastated?" If I were a drinking gal, that could be a game in itself. </li>
<li>Fangirling. Fangirling. Fangirling *insert dramatic eye roll here*</li>
<li>Sitting. On the couch. With a cranky facial expression. Will not get any positive attention. Stop that.<br />Sidenote: Dear Lauren H., sweet girl, I wish I could give you a hug. You need more healing time. This may not be the right spot for you. I won't be sad if you be honest with yourself and come back to Oklahoma. Also, a man/husband/relationship will not be the place to find your worth. </li>
<li>Yep, he likes Sharleen. He admires that she's classy and covered. Modest is hottest y'all. He looks at her differently than the ones who bore more skin. Watch it. You'll see it, too. I bet he gives her the rose. Betcha. OHHHHHH BABAM! Why does she keep calling him "sir"?</li>
<li>Catty women being catty. I see you cutting your eyes every time someone that's not you gets a rose. </li>
<li>Oh dear Oh dear Oh dear. Cat, Kylie - ..... sounds the same, right? Awkward doesn't begin to describe it. </li>
<li>Lucy hugged Chris Harrison more emphatically when he told her she was going to be on the show than she did Juan Pablo who just gave her a rose. </li>
<li>I can't ignore it. I can't. I can't let it sit... but when Amy J. (massage lady) said "Sometimes people don't feel you the way you feel them." Well.... that's all I have to say about that. </li>
<li>Juan Pablo seems genuinely concerned for these women's feelings. He let the First Impression recipient know he's been in her shoes. He even mentioned the Rose Ceremony is his least favorite part. I sincerely hope he finds his mate...mostly because that's why we're all watching. Because we like the drama and everyone loves a good love story. </li>
<li>I predict Sharleen excuses herself from this season before he's ready for her to go. </li>
</ol>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Do you have any favorites? Who are you pulling for? Let's dish!</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
As always, this season promises LOTS of drama! Can't wait to figure out who screams, "I HATE YOU JUAN PABLO! I HOPE YOU DIIIIIIIIIE!"</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Lastly, The Bachelor thinks American females are all about gratuitous shirtless scenes. You're welcome, ladies. Sincerely, ABC. </div>

</div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">
<br />
<br />
<b>Feeling</b>: Restless. Trapped. Winter does this every time. The cold, the lack of sunshine, too many layers...ugh. I've had almost two weeks off school and I think I need a schedule to exist peacefully. So there's that...<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://s613.photobucket.com/user/bananachica1/media/44e44958-e7d2-49dc-b17f-851ecfb531aa_zps647b87ac.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo 44e44958-e7d2-49dc-b17f-851ecfb531aa_zps647b87ac.jpg" border="0" height="388" src="http://i613.photobucket.com/albums/tt220/bananachica1/44e44958-e7d2-49dc-b17f-851ecfb531aa_zps647b87ac.jpg" width="325" /></a></div>
</div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">
<b>Watching</b>: Desperate Housewives on Netflix has been the most commonly played thing lately. Tonight I watched my FAVORITE show: Parenthood. Seriously, don't we all wish we could be part of the Braverman family? If you're not watching Parenthood, you're doing it wrong. </div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">
</div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">
<b>Reading</b>: This school year, I've only read to help me get to sleep at night. I usually reread things again and again and I'm currently reading The Confession by John Grisham. He's definitely a familiar favorite.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">
<b>Thinking About</b>: We go back to school Monday for a professional development day and although I theoretically could live a life of eternal homebodiness... realistically I need structure.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">
<b>Eating</b>: There is a 6 pack of Wholly Guacamole in the produce section at Walmart that is bombtastic. That and homemade bread have been my sustenance the last 3 days. If you follow me on Instagram (everydayisyourrunway or FearlessFaithVintage) you can see the bread I made. </div>

<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">
<b>Looking Forward to</b>:<br />
- Continuing to pursue my word/phrase/goal for 2014: Clutter-Free</div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">
- Learning embroidery<b> </b></div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">
<b>Making me Happy:</b> Grace<br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">I'm terrible at keeping resolutions. Reoccurring resolutions have included: "Read my Bible More", "Eat healthier", "Be more organized", "Exercise consistently", etc. This year, I want to get clutter under control in our home. Instead of waiting until the New Year begins, I've already begun clearing small spaces and I hope to make better habits that will stay with me throughout the year. If you have any helpful hints regarding clutter control, feel free to share. I'm always open for new ideas!</span><br />

<br />
For the <i>one </i>who reads this and <u>needs </u>it...<br />
<br />
<a href="http://s613.photobucket.com/user/bananachica1/media/CryBabyPin_zpsd9a766d2.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo CryBabyPin_zpsd9a766d2.jpg" border="0" height="150" src="http://i613.photobucket.com/albums/tt220/bananachica1/CryBabyPin_zpsd9a766d2.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
I cry when my heart is full to the brim and the only way to possibly contain what's inside is to let some out my eyes.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
I cry when I have reached my frustration level and I can't go on without a good cry.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
I bought What Dreams May Come for days when I need a good cry. (Let it be noted I've never watched it for that purpose but should the need arise, I have the movie.)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I cry when all the children and teachers in our little school, my home away from home, come together for a teachers versus students volleyball game. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I cry when my feelings get hurt.<br />
<br />
I cry when I am singing praises to Jesus.<br />
<br />
Sometimes, I cry tears of gratitude and thankfulness when I look over and realize I get to spend life with my husband.<br />
<br />
I even cry when I hear Pink sing Just Give me a Reason or Miley sing Wrecking Ball. (But let's face it, who <i>doesn't</i> cry when they think of Miley these days!?) </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
From the time I have memories, my amazing momma has told me, "It's okay to cry. Get the cry over with and then move on." </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Piano lessons, dance class, Mrs. Rowland's math class, 9th grade Geometry, staff meetings, hurt feelings and more... if you've known me for any length of time- whether as a child or an adult - you've probably seen me cry. It's part of who I am and <i>that's okay</i>. I've always continued after a good cry. Usually, I cry because I care. I'm not a cry baby. I'm tenderhearted. Crying does not make me weak. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
When tears are cried and left behind in a healthy way, they're cathartic. They can give the release you need to be strong or they can escape as a symbol of immense joy. <br />
<br />
"Record my misery; list my tears on your scroll- are they not in your record?" Psalm 56:8<br />
<br />
Jesus sees our tears and He rejoices with us when they are joyful and mourns with us when they are sorrowful.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's <i>more </i>than okay to cry...</div>

<br />
<br />
<br />Hello, my name is Jana and I'm a people pleaser. <br />
<a href="http://s613.photobucket.com/user/bananachica1/media/071_zpsf43c9882.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo 071_zpsf43c9882.jpg" border="0" height="502" src="http://i613.photobucket.com/albums/tt220/bananachica1/071_zpsf43c9882.jpg" width="375" /></a><br />
<br />
Whew. Now that I've gotten that off my chest... it's exhausting trying to make everyone like me. The older I get and the longer I live the more people I come across who decide I'm not their cup of tea. It's exhausting keeping a mental tally of people who said they a) don't like me b) think I'm too nice c) too perky d) phony e) fill in the blank.<br />
<br />
This has been a lifelong habit. In elementary school I had people threaten to beat me up. In high school someone outright told me they didn't like me. In each instance, I tried my darnedest to make these people like me. As an adult I've come across more people who don't click with me and I usually want to "fix" it, somehow change their opinion...<br />
<br />
I have something to say to myself and other people pleasers....<br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;">STOP IT!</span></b><br />
<br />
In all the self defeat and nonacceptance ... we're only causing ourselves frustration, anxiety, and pain. Stop questioning who you are and wondering what's wrong with you. You have been uniquely designed and the way you are is good. "Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart; I appointed you as a prophet to the nations." Jeremiah 1:5<br />
<br />
Not only did God set you and me apart, he took the time to do this...."And even the very hairs of your head are all numbered." Matthew 10:30 I've got a LOT of hairs. Why am I worried about what anyone thinks of them? God already counted them and set me apart to do great and mighty things. <br />
<br /> <br />
So who are you trying to please? Who am I trying to please? This, my thirtieth year, I've realized I need to stop. I need to stop being self conscious about whether people like me. I need to stop doubting my abilities and apologizing for being a "bossy pants." I'm not bossy. In fact, I'm probably one of the least "bossy" people you'll ever come across. I need to take ownership of the gifts and talents I've been given. I need to stand firm on God's promises that his gifts and call are irrevocable and stop apologizing and trying to please humans. <br /> <br />
<br />
"A<span class="text Gal-1-10" id="en-NIV-29068">m I now trying to win the approval of human beings, or of God? Or am I trying to please people? If I were still trying to please people, I would not be a servant of Christ. Galatians 1:10 NIV </span><br />
<span class="text Gal-1-10" id="en-NIV-29068"><br /></span>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Um.... teacher face???<br /><br />Here's hoping to my best year in first grade, always remembering what it's like to be the newbie, and never letting go of First Grade Jitters. Pretty sure my nerves mean I care. <br />

I bought Crocs<div style="text-align: center;">

I know what you're thinking. I thought it too. Gone are the days that Crocs look like gnome shoes.<br />
<br />
At my teacher-friend's request, I went with her to exchange a pair of Crocs. She said not to make fun of her shoes because they were Crocs. I truly had to bite my tongue. Once I saw the shoes I couldn't believe they weren't hideous. As a matter of fact, they were cute, kind of like jellies. And when I slipped them on... whoa momma. They were comfy! Perfect for teaching first graders. Within three days I had two pairs of my own: one black and one brown. <br />

Please ignore price tags. The reason they're pictured is so you can get the information you want in case you decide to get your own. When I bought mine they were buy one get one half off so the price was fair, especially for a pair of comfortable shoes I'll wear often.<br /><br />

<br />
<br />
As of today, school officially starts in seven sleeps. And without fail, my back-to-school jitters are kicking in. By nature I'm a bit of a worrier and this year is no exception. Each year I get jitters just like my first grade darlings and it's to be expected after a summer of carefree fun and fashion. The way I dress in summer and the way I dress during the school year... I feel like I'm not the same lady and the clothes come from a <i>costume</i> closet. <br />
<br />
<a href="http://s613.photobucket.com/user/bananachica1/media/052_zps8bd3d87f.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo 052_zps8bd3d87f.jpg" border="0" height="400" src="http://i613.photobucket.com/albums/tt220/bananachica1/052_zps8bd3d87f.jpg" width="308" /></a><br />
<br />
Here's an interesting tidbit about me...Some days I have to put on a teacher 'costume'. My college professors were worried I wouldn't speak loudly enough and I would struggle with management. But I found a trick... if I dress like a teacher, I act like a teacher. <br />
<br />
My first year of teaching was less than ideal. In fact, I struggled with classroom management (aka student behavior). One little tweak in my wardrobe helped change my attitude. Instead of wearing whatever fun clothes I wanted, I began dressing professionally. I immediately noticed a positive change in my behavior and my students' behavior. Although many early childhood teachers advise against dressing up my philosophy is: clothes are washable. <br />
<a href="http://s613.photobucket.com/user/bananachica1/media/b84062d3-7fba-4405-842b-1d5f654a5ad5_zps8dd0ccf2.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo b84062d3-7fba-4405-842b-1d5f654a5ad5_zps8dd0ccf2.jpg" border="0" height="400" src="http://i613.photobucket.com/albums/tt220/bananachica1/b84062d3-7fba-4405-842b-1d5f654a5ad5_zps8dd0ccf2.jpg" width="167" /></a><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;">(Also, do not judge the clothes on the floor behind me. I like to keep it real, people) </span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://img1.imagesbn.com/p/9780395401460_p0_v2_s260x420.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><br /></a></div>
I usually start the year off strong and always dress professionally for conferences, meet the teacher, and anything dealing with parents. Throughout the year, I integrate my fun clothes but much like Miss Nelson from <a href="http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/miss-nelson-is-missing-harry-allard/1001878902?ean=9780395401460">Miss Nelson is Missing</a>... I have my alter-ego for when my darlings get out of hand. Shhhhh.... help me keep it a secret. Otherwise this trick may lose its magic. <br /><a href="http://img1.imagesbn.com/p/9780395401460_p0_v2_s260x420.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://img1.imagesbn.com/p/9780395401460_p0_v2_s260x420.jpg" width="255" /></a><br /><br />
For now, my teacher clothes are still in the closet... So enjoy some summertime Jana. I like her wardrobe more than Mrs. C's. <br />

<br />
<br />
So... a fast talking salesman knocked on your door and you made the mistake of letting them inside your home. What they're saying sounds <i>really </i>good. In fact <i>too </i>good. I once had a wise man tell me, "If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is." I REALLY should have listened to him, especially last Wednesday when I could hear his voice in my head as the salesman was reeling me in hook, line, and sinker.<br />
<br />
Short version: a door-to-door salesman came to our house, told me about an amazing deal on an amazing product. We waited for my husband to get home and within a 3 hour period of him knocking on our door, we had this amazing product installed.<br />
<br />
After the seller and installer left... my husband and I did a quick Google search of the company and found numerous horror stories on the company. The more I read, the more freaked out I became. I slept terribly. By 5 a.m. Thursday morning, less than twelve hours after installation, I was on the phone with my daddy and we got this situation under control.<br />
<br />
<img alt=" photo 83e76b91-3b5e-43d0-88a4-0f62d1c7ef21_zps99dcfa26.jpg" border="0" height="339" src="http://i613.photobucket.com/albums/tt220/bananachica1/83e76b91-3b5e-43d0-88a4-0f62d1c7ef21_zps99dcfa26.jpg" width="225" /><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Plan of Action</b></span></div>
<ol style="text-align: center;">
<li><b>Act quickly</b><br />Obviously, we immediately checked out the company online. We then read the contract to find we had three business days to write a handwritten letter of cancellation as stated. Any contract will have cancellation procedures. <br /><b><br /></b></li>
<b>
</b>
<li><b>Put a Stop Payment on the amount to be drafted at your bank.</b><br />The following morning I was at our bank when it opened and we did something called a stop payment on the amount the company was supposed to draft. At my bank the stop payment cost $30. It may vary but in the long run, it's better to spend the money now than end up paying the contract in full if you want out.<br /><b><br /></b></li>
<b>
</b>
<li><b>Write a letter of cancellation</b><br />Our contract paperwork specified a <i>handwritten </i>letter of cancellation. If you're uncertain what that should look like here's the <a href="http://www.buzzle.com/articles/cancellation-letter-template.html">template</a> I used. <br /><b><br /></b></li>
<b>
</b>
<li><b>Mail the letter of cancellation via 24 hour delivery guaranteed certified mail.</b><br />We took the letter to the USPS and payed to have it shipped overnight. This was $19.95. After leaving the post office, I entered the tracking number on the USPS website and began receiving notifications via email regarding the location of my letter (very helpful for peace of mind).<b> <br /></b></li>
<li><b>Call the company to verify cancellation.</b><br />By Friday, I got an email saying my letter arrived. I called the company to verify I'd completed the cancellation procedure. I documented, documented, documented. Make sure you document each procedure you do.<br /><br /><br />After this experience I was angry and repeatedly apologizing to my husband for "getting us into this mess". I felt like a cliche of a helpless, naive woman. Fortunately, I was reassured lots of people have made similar mistakes. I am so thankful someone wiser than me helped me through. I hope this is a helpful resource for someone else. Know you're not alone. <br /><br />In case you're curious... these steps insured prompt cancellation. The company called today (August 6, 2013) and tried to get me to change my mind. <br /><br />Moral of the story is - if it's a door-to-door salesperson... keep the door shut! <br /><br /><b>UPDATE: </b>10:37 p.m. August 7, 2013 a representative from the above company knocked on our door to "uninstall". These people SCHEDULED an appointment to come tomorrow between the hours of 4 and 7. I am livid. Beyond rude to do any type of "customer service" after 9 p.m. <br /><img alt="Get Your Fashion On, Jana Faith" class="center" src="http://i1105.photobucket.com/albums/h358/freeborboleta/Designs/Jana%20EDYR/EDYR-Signature2.png" /></li>

Glasses became a part of my life in 5th grade.<br />

1996 1997<br />
Fortunately, styles have changed and <a href="http://www.glassesusa.com/">glasses</a> no longer take up half a gal's face, ifyaknowwhati'msayin amiright?! *wink wink nudge nudge* Amen from the 90s girls! <br />
<br />
Over the years I've had many different clothing styles and my glasses have always been the finishing touch. <br />
There are SO MANY fashionable, trendy, and classic <a href="http://www.glassesusa.com/" target="_blank">eyeglasses</a> looks available though <a href="http://www.glassesusa.com/">GlassesUSA.com</a>!<br />

I got to use their Virtual Mirror feature to try on all different styles. I used the camera on my laptop to upload a quick picture, centered the targets for where my eyes are, and voila! I was able to get a good idea of what I would look like with each style. I love this feature because as a near sighted person, I always have a hard time getting a good idea of what I might look like with different frames. With the Virtual Mirror I can still wear my glasses or contacts from the comfort of my living room while "trying on" glasses. <br />
<br />
<br />
Go on- give it a try. It's so easy and convenient!<br />

First, I used a white opaque paint pen (available at your local craft store or Walmart). Then, I used a regular needle and thread to embroider around the pocket of the shirt. I used lots of different colors because that seems more appropriate for my own little Pocket Full of Sunshine. <br />
<br />
Then I used 3 different sizes of paint brush and multiple bottles of acrylic paint to do a random, layered design at the bottom corner to balance out the pocket. I sort of drippled the yellow on to finish it off. Easy peasy!<br /><br />Also noteworthy: I washed the shirt on the gentle cycle before I wore it and I didn't use any type of setting agent. <br />
