What's In A Name?

What's in a name? Everything!

After many months and days of contributing to blogs, I've finally taken the plunge. The decision had already been made, probably from my first contribution to Eric's blog, what, a year ago? All along came the encouragements from all my favorite bloggers, i.e. "Go ahead, Janie, blog!", and many e-mails and questions and answers traded back and forth between bloggers and myself.

But. I'd. Not. Thought. About. A. Title. For. My. Blog.

Now, that's planning ahead.

Well, to my credit, I didn't think I'd start the blog until after the first of the year - when hopefully, we would be through the holiday party cycle, the duplex would be finished, all my end of the year reports at work would be submitted in a timely fashion, hunting season would be over, the sporting clay season would not have yet started, blah, blah, blah.

("Oh, ye of little patience," she mutters to herself.)

So, last night, I started the process of setting up the blog. And then I found I had to name the thing! Worked on it for about an hour, or three. Wrote down all these possibilities, all the while checking on availability. Ran into the bedroom to vet the choices to MLH, who promptly said, "Janie, not now, honey!" and turned over and went back to sleep. Bummer. In the process, I woke up our beautiful solid liver colored 3 year old GSP, Zack, who promptly took the opportunity to go outside - and it was what, 44 degrees? Ah, well, y'all know the drill.

Well, I'm here. I've taken the plunge. Chosen a name. Created a baby template that should mature as I learn this game. Hopefully, I can live up to the demands of posting regularly and well, all the while having fun and creating some enjoyment for others.

Zack and I are heading up to the duplex to check on Stephen (and progress of the duplex renovation!)

Have a lovely, blessed day today!
