And the Winners are…

Only one person guessed all four real pears so the other two prizes will go to the first people who got three out of four. I know this was not easy, in fact when I was handling the pears, I had to tap them to make sure I remembered which ones were real.  The real pears were 1 – 3 – 4 – 8.

So here’s who won…

The only person to guess all four real pears was Jason! Good eye or lucky guess!!

The first two people to guess three out of four were Josh and Dan! (both guessed 14-7-8)

Congratulations, guys and I hope you enjoy your show memorabilia. My thanks to everyone for playing. This was lots of fun.  We’ll do it again.

UPDATE: We just heard from Jason and he sent us his picture…

Jason is from  Austin, Texas. He directs creative & product development for a home fragrance line (Seda France).

“I was a big fan of Jenny’s show, and I really love the recipes and cooking videos she posts now – I’m always learning new things from Jenny! Thanks again!”

And winner, Josh, has been a long-time visitor to my website so it’s great that he won today, too.

A Contest for Fans of my Talk Show

Tue., March 13th CONTEST UPDATE…. We’re halfway through the contest and here’s where things stand: Of 37 entries, only one person has guessed all four real pears and seven people have guessed three correct pears out of  four. Of those seven, four of the entries are exactly the same. So as of this update, you are all welcome to make a second guess.

I just uncovered some Jenny Jones Show promotional items and thought someone might like to have them. If you’d like the items in the photo, there’s only one way to get them: it’s a contest! To receive the Jenny Jones fleece zip-up, baseball cap, mug, teddy bear & keychain (I have three sets to give away), all you have to do is guess which pears in the photo below are real and which ones are ceramic. Here’s a clue: four are real and six are ceramic. Pick the four real ones and you win. One guess per person; contest ends Thursday. Which four pears are real? Enter your guesses in the comments below.

Good luck!

Week in Review

An Ohio church is offering a drive-thru Ash Wednesday blessing for parishioners who might be pressed for time. What’s next… confessions on twitter?

A woman in Philadelphia dubbed the “Black Madam” was arrested recently at a so-called “pumping party” where she was about to perform illegal butt injections. All those stupid enough to participate didn’t realize you can obtain the same result by eating doughnuts.

The Six Billion Dollar Man (CSI creator Anthony Zuiker) is in divorce court hell. His soon-to-be ex-wife may be getting $443,528 a month.  All that CSI equipment can’t seem to find evidence of a prenup.

A man in a wheelchair was arrested after robbing a convenience store in Florida. He took a 12-pack of beer and made his getaway but got stuck in the sand behind the store. Police found him there, in his wheelchair, drinking a Bud Light. I’m guessing this was the second 12-pack of the day.

Snooki is pregnant! This pregnancy is going to require a lot of money… unless they sell bulk paternity tests at Costco.

Bug Porn

Maybe it’s the romantic ocean breezes here in California because I see things. Nasty things. There are things going on out here, in broad daylight, and they don’t even try to hide when I sneak up and yell, “Get a room!”I think this one needs a caption…

He loves me.

Look what I got for Valentine’s Day!

He loves me.

I know he does because…

1) He takes out the trash.

2) I went to the mall once without my wallet and he drove there and rendezvous’d with me in the parking lot, handed me my wallet, and drove home.

3) He’s not afraid of big spiders.

That’s all I need… and the chocolates.

My new iPad carrier

My man, Denis, has been the love of my life for over 25 years but if the house caught on fire and I had to run back in to save just one thing, Denis would have to find his own way out. I would save my iPad! I love love my iPad! I take it everywhere I go – I even take it to bed to read or play games. I’ve been looking for a carrying case since I won’t ever leave it in the car but nothing came with a shoulder strap. So I decided to make one.

I went to Jo-Ann Fabrics last night and bought some reversible quilted material (cost: $4.66) and spent about 45 minutes to put it together. The wide strap is comfortable and now I can take my iPad everywhere I go and never have to leave it in the car. I left Denis in the car once but I was mad at him. Served him right. 😉

Hotel room angst

We drove back home yesterday after getting my stepmom moved. She’s now in a gated retirement community with good security so we have peace of mind. There wasn’t much time for fun or any shows but we can do that next time. We did have a great dinner buffet at the “M” which is a new hotel/casino as well as a really bad meal at the Mandalay Bay coffee shop –  don’t go there. The only gambling I did was the five minutes it took for me to lose at roulette and blackjack.

It’s so good to sleep in my own bed. Why are hotel beds so uncomfortable? Who knows what kind of abuse they take… Maybe there was a large man convention there last week and the Incredible Hulk and Andre the Giant were having pillow fights on that bed. Who can sleep anyway when you’re up all night looking for bed bugs? I have to stop watching those shows about horrible things in hotel rooms. This time I brought some disinfectant wipes and cleaned the doorknobs, phone, remote control (the worst!), and I found a hair in my bathtub! It was not mine. Next time I’d like to bring one of those UV lights and a pair of goggles to look for blood stains on the wall! I should just stay home!

What stayed in Vegas? My money!

Well, my gambling buddies, I wanted so much to surprise someone with a win but it was a bust. (: I told the dealer what I was doing and he suggested playing all the numbers at once for better odds.  I did and the number that came up was 33….. Boooo!

Since blackjack is my usual game, I tried that too – and I lost 20 bucks there too! Oh well, it was still fun and the next time I come here, I will try to win for somebody again. Thanks, guys, for playing along.  It looks like I have better luck with my baking.
