My kids started school last week. I am not sure how I managed with Jen being on vacation.

solid evidence there's really no "team" and that Jen is running her own social media. Any seasonal posts should be scheduled and go up regardless of where Jen happens to be in the world. Not that her hot take on BTS is anything anyone pays attention to anymore but from a marketing/social media management perspective, that's a usually high-performing message she sends out every dang year and someone should have remembered to put something up or to draft something for her approval.

Or maybe the team just really sucks.

I really don't understand why Jen keeps pushing herself back into the "moms with kids in school" demographic. For goodness' sake, talk about where you actually are. Talk about being the mom of grown kids. Talk about menopause. Talk about 50...oh, wait.

Droolings! I have an important announcement about FOR THE LAME podcast.

I was going to make you wait with beleaguered breath to hear my EXCITING news but my team and I have been simply BOMBARDED with requests about my award-winning podcast, which won an award back in '18 for best podcast about religion and spirituality.

Even though I've evolved - thank you DEE-CON-STRUC-SHUN, you can bet your a-s-s- (tee hee I'm so SPICY) I'm still honking that award-winning horn just to remind you that I'm a podcast BFD.

Are you ready for it? I have decided to take on a partner. Don't worry dewdrops, I have selected the PERF Beta Yes Girl Friday.

You will simply LOVE Crunchy Amy. She is SO DIFF than me. We are COMPLETE OPPOSITES. I wear short skirts, she wears tee shirts, she likes camping and I like...bleaches. Lots of them in my hair.

BTW, check out my LIFECHANGING hair vitamins so your hair can be in tippy toppy shape like the luscious mane of...well, there are a lot of words for what I've got going on up there, droolings, but you know the schill.

Hop over to stories to buy and use the code #GreenEggsAndHair for a discount.

Crunchy Amy and I love to do fun things together, like smashing the patriarchy and dissing purity culture. She really is the PERF side piece for FOR THE LAME. I say something and like an ADORABLE little windup witchy homeschooling doll, she says cute things like "Absolutely, Jane" and "No, your makeup doesn't look bad." LOVE HER.

Our inaugural episode will be Crunchy Amy and I talking to perpetual good sport, Ree Drummond. For whatever ADORABLE reason, she just cannot say no to my team, so we'll be interviewing her about her fave grown-ass lady salads.

Actually, Amy will be doing the questions and I'll ADORABLY interject with tidbits about myself and cute statements like "Trevor eats salad!"

I mean OF COURSE we know he does not, LOLZ. Shenanigans!

And, the best part is that FOR THE LAME will be broadcast LIVE from a 2013 Chrysler Town and Country Minivan - Touring Edition, no less!

And, since ratings and commissions are looking a little skimpy this month - I am in grave danger of not being able to afford lash extensions - please make sure you download FOR THE LAME wherever you get your podcasts and stock up on those FLOPL sleep gummies. I also heard Able still has a few things from the 2022 Jane Capstitcher summer line and they are mostly still fashionable.

You deserve it, bewildereds.

It's THAT time of year! The time of year when Jen reminds everyone that she knows ALL ABOUT BACK TO SCHOOL! Don't make weekend plans, have them food ready, all the things she repeats every single year. She missed the real back to school days because she was on her cruise and when the new podcast announcement didn't get much traction, she did what she could to get some likes and comments....

Kristen Howerton also does work with OnSite retreats as a therapist. Definitely a ton of former Christian influencer overlap all over the place.

So Brandon went to a non-rehab where his wife's good friend is a therapist? That's weird, right?

yes

Brando went to Milestones not the onsite retreat. Its a 30+ day residential trauma treatment center at onsite.

I wonder how Shonna/Shanna/Shawna and Tiny Tooth feel about being passed up for a 2013 minivan? #shenanigans

I loved the part of her introduction when she described herself as a sociopath! Really, Jen?!

I think Amy is more a "tent camp under a full moon" type "witch" who sages your house.

I think Jen has mentioned her in previous books, like 7? I seem to recall her mentioning a crunchy friend who would chime in with advice and it may be Amy.

Also, ink is expensive! How are these gals affording the tats?

I need for Jane Capstitcher to post on the Hatmaker snark reddit sub so I can give her an upvote.

WAIT.

Is Amy a “spells/dark arts” REAL witch, or an “I use essential oils and quote the movie Hocus Pocus” witch?

I don’t know how to tell the difference. It’s not the 1700’s and I’m pretty sure the “sink or float” test didn’t really work.

EWWWWWWWWW.......

Ugh. I AM a hippie granola homeschooler. There are a plethora of fun hippie granola homeschoolers already online and on podcasts.

Also, I don’t know who Amy is, but I love that Sis’s “sneak peak” of her was her arm tattoo. LOL. It has such a “Look what a COOL person I am!” cringe vibe.

This. Middle age middle class white ladies getting tattoos is the apex of silly coolness virtue signaling. I remember when one of the women from my former church got a Hatmaker related tattoo and talked about it being brave on social media. To quote Jen "I can't even..."

Anonymous wrote:I haven’t seen or heard this Amy person but I’m guessing she’s much younger than Jen if she’s a home schooler? Why wouldn’t she go with someone in the same stage of life as her?

I think they are roughly the same age although Amy looks older. She's just frumpy - kind of dated hair and style that makes her look older.

She's the perfect sidekick for Jen and zero threat to the Main Character. Yawn.

I think this new taking on a partner thing is just a tactic to talk about herself more. You can’t talk about yourself as much if you’re supposed to be interviewing or introducing someone. But her and Amy? She can sit there and talk about herself and her bullshit all the time.

100% this.

Guys. Jen and Amy are sooo different. Yes, they are both white Christian ladies in their late 40s who live in Texas and have a lot of kids and vote Democrat. But Amy likes to CAMP. And she uses essential oils!! She's practically a witch!
