My Favorite J Name
Jacqueline "Jackie"
It's my oldest daughter's name. My husband is one of four boys, so we assumed we'd have a boy. We loved Jack Bach. It sounded so official and important. When we found out we were having a girl, Jackie made sense.
My Favorite J Activity
Jigsaw puzzles
It's my middle daughter's favorite activity, and one of the few things she'll sit down to do.
My Favorite J Saying
"Naked as Jaybird"
Growing up, my dad always said this. When I was young, I asked him why anyone would walk across the street naked. I was confusing this with jaywalking.
My Favorite J Destination
Jamaica
My husband and I honeymooned there in 1995.
My Favorite J Pastime
Journaling
I think everyone should do it! Even if you are not a writer, it is free therapy and a way to let it all go.
Judy Blume
Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret was an important part of my teenage years. I could "ask" questions of Judy Blume that I couldn't ask my parents.
My Favorite J Disney Character
Jasmine (Aladdin)
Our girls named our dog after Jasmine. It quickly became Jazzy (my favorite J dog of course).
A Few Other J Faves
Jello over Jam
Jesus' teachings
Joy, Jubilation (especially Jumping for Joy)
Jewelry
Junie B. Jones (my kids made me put it!)
J Things I Could Do Without
Jello
Jelly Beans
Jagermeister (there's a long college story to support this)
Jealousy
Jiggly (when it can't be contained by shapewear)
Juice
Judgement
A J Thing I've Never Done
Jury Duty
I move so much that they've never found me. Of course, now they will.

Judy Blume is one of my favorite J authors too. Great favorites in all these J categories.
Well, my name is Julie and my husband's name also begins with J...so I can start there. Other J words that strike me: journey, Jesus, jousting, jovial, jack-in-the-box, Johann Sebastian Bach (hey, how about that one?), jaguar (car or animal), justice, and jungle. Nicely put, Tia.
So what did your dad mean by naked as a jaybird then?

Carrie, Judy Blume rocks! I've only read her teen books, but one of these days, I need to embrace the fact that I'm an adult and try her other ones. ;-)
Julie, So glad my favorite J blogger/commenter stopped by! And yes, how could I forget Bach?
Elizabeth, No clue what he meant. I even looked it up online, and the origin is murky (actually most sites couldn't come up with anything at all). Birds aren't naked...
May have to borrow this idea of a 'J' list...I am behind...trying desperately to catch up...and am 'foggy' with no words in the brain to get going.
Great site!
Happy A-Z
Carrie
Carrie, Hope the words are flowing now and the fog has lifted. ;-) Thanks for stopping by and taking the time to comment.
