Had me a “Jenica” day

October 22nd, 2006 · 28 Comments

Wow! I’m proud of myself. I had a “Jenica” day. While I am quite convinced that Jenica has lots of kind of days, for me, a “Jenica” day is one that is very productive. I am in awe of the productivity of this woman. Nonetheless, I did pretty well myself today.

I did all of this and many other things besides:

  • Verified had NetFiles account and Helen could access
  • Washed load of clothes
  • Put all clothes away (a lot of clothes were waiting to be put away)
  • Put away summer clothes
  • Organized fall and winter clothes
  • Paid bills
  • Washed dishes
  • Lined up some graphics help
  • Read (multiple things, multiple times)
  • Grocery store & home office shopping
  • Updated Helen and NetFiles with work I did yesterday, and earned a half hours pay doing it.
  • Read Sunday newspaper

Now it’s time to calm down before bed. Need to step away from the computers.

‘night all.

    Wow, I want to have a Jenica day!

  • 2 Mark // Oct 23, 2006 at 12:17 pm

    I need a lot more “Jenica” days. In a row. For a while.

    But they are nice when they come! ;)

    Damn. All I had was a “Jenn” day. Bummer.

    Sorry to hear you fell ill. At least you made my list. ;)

    But then that reflects my (pre)productivity and not yours until you actually help me. And then only if you consider helping friends as “productive.” ;0

    Feel better!

    Man, I need me a Jenica day, too, and I’M JENICA. ;)
    Glad you’re basking in the glow of productivity!

    I don’t think my spam filter liked your existential claim to being “Jenica,” by the way. I found your comment wallowing around in with the stuff that belonged in there.

    Yes, I was basking. Didn’t do too bad this afternoon/evening either. This is mostly reading, thinking work right now though. Can’t much hurry either one of those along.

    Wishing you an excellent “Jenica” day! We can all use one or two now and again. And besides, I need you to come through for me so I can stay inspired! ;)

    Not that I don’t adore Ms. J, but when I think Jenica Day I think of one of those days when I woke up all jazzed about exercising later but as it turns out I have to eat stale crackers because I forgot I had a late class.

    i imagine there’s room enough for each of us to have our own idea of what constitutes a “Jenica” day, and it just goes to show how much we adore her.

    look. you probably never met me and never will. i am just some 12 year old in a little city in illinios. my name is jenica though. so i hace ‘jenica’ days!

  • 10 Mark // Apr 9, 2007 at 5:19 pm

    Welcome Miss Jenica and thank you for commenting.

    There is no such thing as “just some 12 year old.” I have no doubt that you are a wonderful individual. :)

    May all your “Jenica days” be forever wonderful!

  • 11 Jenica // Apr 13, 2007 at 11:03 am

    Thank you! :D

  • 12 Jenica // Jun 19, 2007 at 3:32 pm

  • 16 Mark // Oct 7, 2007 at 11:33 am

    Welcome Jenica! As you can see there are several of you out there. :) Although, I have only met one, too, to the best of my knowledge.

  • 17 Jenica // Oct 7, 2007 at 9:47 pm

    Hey there - how many Jenicas are out there. I’m from Good old Canada… and I’m 19. I’m glad you enjoyed the productivity behind the name. You definately described my work habits.

    Remember to rest thought. Balance is everything.

    Take care all.

  • 18 Jenica Too!! // Nov 9, 2007 at 3:24 pm

    Hey I am Jenica too. I am in Arizona! I am 15. I did not know there were so many Jenicas either. I have never met another one.

  • 19 Mark // Nov 12, 2007 at 7:16 am

    Hi Jenica and welcome!

    I have only met one face-to-face, but there seems to be a handful or two of you based on responses to my post. :)

  • 20 Janice // Feb 4, 2008 at 11:26 pm

    My daughter has to be the original. I named her Jenica in 1978. We have never met any other Jenicas but it is a beautiful name!

  • 21 Mark // Feb 6, 2008 at 1:29 pm

    Welcome Janice and thanks for the comment. So I wonder how you came up with the name; looks like a rearrangement of the letters in your name. :)

    But as for the original … your arrival at the name may well have been original for you but the lovely, young woman I spoke of in this post was born in 1976. Sorry.

  • 22 jenica // Feb 19, 2008 at 8:18 am

    hi im jenica.cn you be my friend?

  • 23 Lora // Feb 25, 2008 at 9:37 pm

    I knew a Jenica in 1977 in Napa and she was 4 years old at the time, she was so cute that my niece is named after her and she is 20 now.

  • 24 Jenica // Apr 12, 2008 at 4:37 pm

    Haha, i have these days all the time …
    im 13 and yes my name is jenica <3

  • 25 Jenica // Apr 25, 2008 at 7:42 am

    LOL I love that there are so many Jenica’s out there. I wonder if I’m the oldest.. born in 1977. I have met a few younger Jenicas.. but never an older one.. hmmm

  • 26 Mark // Apr 27, 2008 at 1:37 pm

    Welcome to another Jenica. :)

    I think you are close although the one this post was in reference to has you beat by a bit I think.

  • 27 JENICA // Jul 11, 2008 at 12:29 pm

    I will have to say I am most definatley amazed at the number of Jenica’s I assumed since I had never heard of another aside from myself that I could quite possibly be the only one… Silly me! I was born in 82′ and I’m in Missouri. My mother liked the name Jennifer and she liked the name Jessica so she put the two together and made “Jenica” quite cleverly I might add just not the first time this has happened apparently.

    Welcome, Jenica. Who knew there were so many since the 70s?
