And so it begins

This blog is a conversation, a confab, between two women. Others are free to comment of course, but mostly it's about (me) us. You see Jeniene and I have been friends for many years, but we are not just friends, we are kindred spirits, we are soulmates. We eat MARMITE together. And no one just does that.

Jeniene and I are married to guys who went to high school together. The first three letters of our name are the same. We are both mothers of only children. We love wine and stinky cheese. We are both fans of George Michael, indeed Jeniene can be found on the WHAM "Wake me Up Before you Go Go" video. We love to surf, me having done it for a week, Jeniene having done it throughout her life. We LOVE to read. We are both emerging novelists. We are sarcastic as hell. We are smart as shit. We love wordplay. We are, for the most part, separated from birth. My adoption makes it easy to believe that we were torn from each other at an early age. This fantasy could only be true if you can't see us. You see, this is Jeniene...And this is me, Jennifer.

And this is our blog. Prepare yourself for an adventure.
