First MJC box sticker I ever laid my eyes on. I knew it when I saw it.

Days like today remind me of when I first started at MJC. It was in the Fall and it was getting chilly, but not jacket whether yet. I remember walking up to Fairfield Manor (MJC’s first home besides Denise’s living room) scared out of my mind. I had worked at stores before, but this wasn’t a store it was a Company. I don’t know why, but for some reason that made all the difference to me. I walked in, as Denise describes it “like a big ball of sunshine” (more like a shaky girl who can’t stop sweating), and that was that. I was hired on the spot. They must have REALLY needed someone to pack! Ha. And after that? It’s all history. 3 years of it for me.

Does anyone remember when I had my own MJC blog? That goofy little thing. You have no idea how flattering it was to write for Matilda Jane and to be able to write TO YOU. I mean, back in the day Denise was the only blogger at MJC and to me it was HUGE that I had my own blog, for however long it lasted. My how things have changed, now we have a blogging schedule! You can expect to hear from me on Mondays, Kayla on Wednesdays, and Desi or Carrie on Fridays. Of course you will hear from Denise anywhere in between. Now I bet some of you have noticed it’s Tuesday…But hey! I’m gonna try to stick to the schedule ; )
I haven’t had a contest in forever and all this talk of my old blog has me sentimental. How about the first person to leave the link to my old MJC blog as a comment will get something good from the new 433 building. You know what that means—Platinum!
Oh, even better! Whoever tells me who signed a contract to clean our first MJC fridge each week will get something REALLY good.
LOVE, SAM






Gabe!
I’m guessing your hubby signed a fridge cleaning contract 😉
I am sooo late to this but I think it was Becky 🙂
Wish I had looked at this before I went to work 🙂
Funny – my daughter was wearing that dress on the left today. She picked it out. So many compliments all day long.
http://matildajane.typepad.com/confession_of_a_mjc_packe/
Becky signed the contract…
I so would have one this earlier!
I still have your old blog tagged in my faves and I saw the upload this morning!
Way to go girls!
“Becky, Beck-the-bride-Pence” was brave enough of sign the contract. She has to be a sweet person to volunteer!
Sam :)…or David???
I am hoping you pick a random winner;)
SO Beautiful Girls.
I do remember the first time you wrote and it is always good to hear from you. It will be great to hear from Kayla, Desi, Carrie, you AND Denise. Lots to look forward to!!!
And………..I’m way late but it was Becky who signed the clean the fridge contract.
I remember meeting you, Sam, at the Plymouth art fair. It was the last one MJ was at, so probably 3 years ago – close to when you started.
It was a super hot day at the art fair, and you were working sorting and hanging clothes from the u-haul. You helped me find a few things.
You were wearing a cute skirt, maybe a tween size one. And yep, I think a ball of sunshine is an accurate phrase – even though you were working hard in the heat, you were still shining. Congrats on 3+ years 🙂
I know i am way late, but that I would say Becky Pence and the website is http://matildajane.typepad.com/confession_of_a_mjc_packe/
Story of my life, always late 🙂 Better late then never I guess 🙂
This is inspiring me to want to start a blog. http://matildajane.typepad.com/confession_of_a_mjc_packe/
And Becky Pence signed the contract!
PS, that’s the fridge I currently have in my dorm room. Precious:)
I miss your blog, not that I don’t love this one!
http://matildajane.typepad.com/confession_of_a_mjc_packe/
Here is the link: http://matildajane.typepad.com/confession_of_a_mjc_packe/ and Becky signed the contract:) Here’s hoping for a random. You all make this too fun, can’t stop following!!:)
I am like comment # 190, but hoping for a random “I feel sorry for this momma that is late to the game, so I’ll send her something anyway” pick! 😉 😉
So, to answer your questions…Your first MJC blog was http://matildajane.typepad.com/confession_of_a_mjc_packe/ and the person who signed the contract to clean the first MJC fridge weekly was Becky…eww, poor Becky!

The address to your blog is easy. I still have it in my Tool bar. Out of the 8 links, yours is the only one that I don’t visit daily anymore but can’t seem to remove it. I check it every once in a while just to see.
http://matildajane.typepad.com/confession_of_a_mjc_packe/
And Becky was the first for the contract.
http://matildajane.typepad.com/confession_of_a_mjc_packe/
First person to sign on for fridge cleaning: Lynette? or Chris maybe? Just a total guess. I remember the blog and your love of all things owl related AND if you have a Kroger up there they have some super cute kitchen owl stuff.
I also remember meeting you and your super awesome bracelet collection. The kids remember you as well…especially Kylee. She wants bracelets like Sam’s. LOL.
you did! 🙂

It was Becky Pence who signed the contract…but some of my favorites from your blog were from the beginning…when you had a contest for people to figure out how many bracelets you were wearing in the original pic or the pics you took of your room…the excitement of the harry potter releases..oh, I could go on. Those were the days of reading about the mjc packer!

Not sure if this is yours or Denise’s…
My guess is Gabe or Joe. Now that Joe has his own line of bags there, maybe he thought he would expand his business and make a little extra money on the side! 🙂
first person to sign contract to clean out fridge…. Amber???
