    Emarston1:

         Thanks for the tip. I am proud to share I'm a Jenny. One of the many, many 80's 

    Jenny's (I once had a class with 5 of us!!) so I'm sure I wouldn't be the only one here. I

    can't wait till there is more to share! A little sneak, I am strongly considering my

    something blue to be my hair! But there's no way I could have it for work. Maybe I 

    need to break out that brunette wig......

    You could always have subtle blue streaks in your hair.  I've actually seen people do this (not necessarily for weddings) but with dark brown hair with blue streaks.  It's subtle but it has a touch of punk rock.

    Or blue nailpolish.  Lots of ladies do blue nail polish.

    You and me, both :) I had two girlfriends in HS named Jennifer. I met my best friend (a Jennifer, spelt her name Jenni) in middle school and switced up how I spelt my name. I used it with a "y" in Elementary, then did it with an "ie" in Middle - HS.  So there was three of us, all who spelt our names differently (Jennie, Jenni and Jenny).

    ETA: To add to the mix, my DH's cousin's wife's name is Jenny, and we have the  same last name. Thankfully, her legal name is Jenny and not Jennifer. That was kind of the last deciding factor if I would just add DH's last name to my maiden, or change it all together.

    Wow Gwen, That is a lot of Jennys! You know, in 25 years all the Bellas will be having the same conversation lol!

    Emarston I love my crazy red hair, but I don't think blue streaks would work with it. Sigh, if only my ultra conservative boss would let me have blue. He hates the red but it is our compromise. I love the blue nail polish!

    @Susan - LOVE that you named your dog Chandler Bing.  Love FRIENDS as well.  I was watching the episode where Chandler and Monica announce their engagement and Monica kept yelling about her thunder being stolen.  I kept imagining her coming on TK and getting yelled at for using that phrase.

    Also I agree with Laura, lurkee loos need to come out of hiding !  We're all really nice (for the most part!).  The more people we have on the board the more active it will be :)  It's been kinda dead lately.

    Jenny- like emartson said- the blue hair might be cute as a streak under so you could see it if your hair was in an updo... also are you related to Mike?  I'm putting the pieces together based on your name and profile name.

    Nope, no Mike. Sorry..
