About Me, Jenny Dean, Creator of Floppycats.com

Rags and Jenny

Hello. My name is Jenny Dean. I am the creator of floppycats.com.

I get many requests wondering about me, what it is I do and why I have this website about Ragdolls.

So in an attempt to do a better job in answering those questions, I made this about me page.

I am a 29-year old female, desperately trying to make a living from home, so that I never have to return to the working world of every day office work again.

Let’s rewind a bit. I was born and raised in Kansas City, MO.

After graduating from a private high school in Kansas City, I spent my freshman year at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, TN. I decided that I didn’t mesh well with southern women, so I applied to the University of Kansas (where a lot of my high school friends were attending) and transferred there. My first semester there, I realized it was a mistake to transfer there. All my high school friends were settled into their new group of friends and the Greek Life there was a little too much for me to handle.

So my second semester of my sophomore year, I decided to commute back and forth from Lawrence to my parents’ home in KCMO (Kansas City, MO).
I later transfered to the University of New Mexico to finish my Bachelors Degree. In hindsight, I should have started there from the very beginning, but I suppose things happen in the time and manner they are supposed to.

After UNM, I left to return to Kansas City, after college, to pursue my Masters in Spanish in the summers in Middlebury, VT.

Among other reasons, I returned to KC because I was/am totally crazy about my cat, Rags. Rags was a seal mitted Ragdoll cat who was given to me and my three siblings when I was 10-years old. Rags and his brother, Cosby, who died at 10 months old, were replacement cats for my first Ragdoll cat, Skittles, who died at the age of 2. I got Skittles (age appropriately named) from my grandparents as a birthday present when I was 8.

While back in KC, I worked as a substitute teacher and a field hockey coach for the private school I attended as a school girl. I also learned to learn a little about me. Before my first summer in Middlebury, VT, I went on a trip through Europe for three months by myself. It was one of the most extraordinary experiences of my life about me. I went to several different countries and saw over 17 famous cities.

In the process of getting my Masters in Spanish from Middlebury College in Middlebury, VT, I attended the University of Missouri-Kansas City to get a Master of Arts in Liberal Studies. Sounds sort of hokey, I know. It was the best program I could find outside of the Southwestern United States that would allow me to study Chicanas (Mexican-American women). So I did and my Masters Thesis became a book.

After completing both of my Masters degrees in August of 2004, I started the job hunting process while substitute teaching again. I finally found a job the following February and began to work as a Customer Service Representative for a local roofing manufacturing company.

I stayed with that company and moved up in the ranks, leaving the company 2 and a half years later as the Inside Sales and Customer Service Manager. I left because I was so miserable I couldn’t see straight, my boss was a complete imbecile who didn’t follow through with anything and lied through his teeth…

I came home with high inspirations of working from home and making it big and about me. It’s been a long road, one I am still walking on, but would prefer to be running on. I honestly believe there is a lot of money to be made from building websites. Besides Floppycats.com, I also have a website about Antioxidant-Fruits. I hope to hell, I am right. I would hate to return to an office.

I do have a disease of the thyroid, called Graves Disease, which you can learn more about by visiting my other website: www.antioxidant-fruits.com – to learn more about me and my interests.

That’s it for now…
