Naming Children
Because of the slight excitement on the post about boys, I thought that something about how couples name children might be a fun topic.
Little Snobaybe had NO idea that there was always a kerfluffle whenever I tried to meet minds with my childrens father, and come up with a name.
So said number one child, my estimable Sean, who by the way is going to Ohio for his education as a pharmacist by the way, was due. And we STILL couldn't agree on a name, and my ex didn't agree what with all the 9 months of non-stop sickness, labor ect, that I should get the right to name the baby my choice over his. Harmpf...lol
Well about three hours before my water broke (always my first sign I am labor which is a good thing, because one contractions start, WATCH OUT!) he suggested Shaun,Shawn, Sean.( all listed here for everyone's favorite pick! OPkay, so I missed a few Irish variations, but the point is there!)
Well, the story I thought poor Snobaybe knew so she wouldn't assume I was yelling at her, was that I went to grade school with a Shawn and a Shaun. These young men were so GROSS! there is not other word for it. They would bring nude pictures and show them around at school, they would throw up on purpose and one of the two I am pretty sure had NEVER met a bathtub or shower in his life.
There was NO WAY, my child should it be a boy, would be a Shawn or a Shaun because of it. No insult intended to anyone that OWNS those particular spellings, okay? Lol. just my own NO! My ex then said "Well how about Sean, like in Sean Connery?" I thought for a minute, and then said. "Sold!" A compromise I can live with.
Anne Shirley of the Anne of Green Gables is right.. the spelling really does matter!
So. what about you all, how was naming children for you? Or what names do you like?
It could be fun to talk about!

Okay Noelie,
Michael sent this to me and I had to put it up just for you! I'm sure you have seen it before. :)
Things I've learned from my Boys (honest and notkidding):
1.) A king size waterbed holds enough water to fill a 2000 sq. ft.house 4inches deep.
2.) If you spray hair spray on dust bunnies and run over them withrollerblades, they can ignite.
3.) A 3-year old Boy's voice is louder than 200 adults in a crowdedrestaurant.
4.) If you hook a dog leash over a ceiling fan, the motor is notstrongenough to rotate 42 pound Boy wearing Batmanunderwear and a Superman cape; It is strong enough, however, if tiedto apaint can, to spread paint on all four walls of a 20x20 ft. room.
5.) You should not throw baseballs up when the ceiling fan is on. Whenusing a ceiling fan as a bat, you have to throw the balla few times before you get a hit. A ceiling fan can hit a baseball alongway.
6.) The glass in windows (even double-pane) doesn't stop a baseballhit bya ceiling fan.
7.) When you hear the toilet flush and the words "uh oh", it's alreadytoolate.
8.) Brake fluid mixed with Clorox makes smoke, and lots of it.
9.) A six-year old Boy can start a fire with a flint rock even thougha36-year old man says they can only do it in the movies.
10.) Certain Legos will pass through the digestive tract of a 4-yearoldBoy.
11.) Play dough and microwave should not be used in the samesentence.
12.) Super glue is forever.
13.) No matter how much Jell-O you put in a swimming pool you stillcan'twalk on water
14.) Pool filters do not like Jell-O.
15.) VCR's do not eject "PB &J" sandwiches even though TV commercialsshowthey do.
16.) Garbage bags do not make good parachutes.
17.) Marbles in gas tanks make lots of noise when driving.
18.) You probably DO NOT want to know what that odor is.
19.) always look in the oven before you turn it on; plastic toys donotlike ovens.
20.) The fire department in Austin, TX has a 5-minute response time.
21.) The spin cycle on the washing machine does not make earthwormsdizzy.
22.) It will, however, make cats dizzy.
23.) Cats throw up twice their body weight when dizzy.
24.) 80% of Men who read this will try mixing the Clorox and brakefluid.
Those who pass this on to almost all of their friends, with orwithout boys do it because:a) For those with no children - this is totally hysterical!b) For those who already have children past this age, this ishilarious.c) For those who have children this age, this is not funny.d) For those who have children nearing this age, this is a warning.e) For those who have not yet had children, this is birth control.

Marsha! Marsha! Marsha! Marsha! ha.. Noelie!
| You Are Marcia Brady |
 Confident yet kind. Popular yet down to earth. You're a total dream girl. You've got the total package - no wonder everyone's a little jealous of you. |
Brady Personality Quiz
K everybody this is a wake up call!!! We've been sitting latent too long so here we go!
| You Are Bobby Brainy |
 Ultra competitive, you will do almost anything to win. From pull ups to pool sharking, you're very talented. And while everyone is aware of your victories, they still (affectionately) consider you to be a little brat! |
Kinda funny since dad calls me the little brat ;)

Insignificant Microbes
I'm sure we wish we could say this about someone else, but anyway, I put up a fun thing on our blog, just to help us remember this is all for fun, and not to be taken seriously! Yes in the blog world the blog is just an insignificant Microbe! Can you believe it us, the low, on the low, of the evolutionary chain!

For Tigersue
Just so you know I refrained from publishing a comment on that site, that seems to be up for bat for K., but if I had this is what I wanted to say, or at least a portion... I suppose I shouldn't let it bother me, but it really does that some people refuse to really "learn" anymore and do research and really attempt to become intelligent or understand why things work certain ways for certain people instead of bashing what they do not understand.
I am glad that you recognized the LC diet as a good option for those with these issues, but in a logical sense, why would it be ok for just those people and not others, or thereby be against the word of wisdom and wouldn't those with these issues still be expected to adhere to the word of wisdom? I would be interested in knowing why you feel that it would be against the word of wisdom, because IMHO I don't feel that it is. I'm thinking that maybe you should read up on the LC diet a little bit more, it's not truely about eating tons and tons of protein, but more or less not using CARBS to fill up on, which as I recall would be against the word of wisdom as well, because the word of wisdom is about balance and limits. It's more about balancing everything you eat. People tend to repeat for rote what the fda says is right, just because that's what they think works, (kinda like how the world used to be considered flat???)and not because they truely understand what goes on in your body from a physiological standpoint, I'm not attacking you directly, I just feel that society should be a bit more open minded and learn how to use their brains to really think and figure things out and do real research, and see things from ALL standpoints intellectually. I don't myself believe Atkins is a correct way to do things, it's too extreme, but there are others that are good... check out dr schawarzbein's book it might give you a better insight to why this actually works. And won't kill your body like your father assumes. Trust me... at one point I felt the same, but being a biology major forced me to look at it chemically and physiologically rather than just from an emotional standpoint, I guess my real point is people should find what works for themselves and not worry so much about what other people do to "diet", it's their life and they can do what they want, just accept them and love them, if it works great! If not oh well...

Hello everyone, Just an update in my little small world. I started a new position at my company. (don't want to name names incase stalker is lurking). But those that are important already know where I work.. ;-)
I am in the finance department, and customer service. This is a great opportunity for advancement and resume incase I move out of state in my future.. who knows.. but maybe.
Right now I am still recovering and healing from stuff... doing the best I can.

Song of the week:
With all the TV Nostalgia I wrote about on my blog I got to remembering "The Partridge family" this morning as Marlei was watching something where "I Think I Love You" wsa being played.
I gotta tell you guys I do love alot of Pop Songs. I admit to listening everytime some collection from the 70's comes on. I even went playing around on Popcorn
(I also got a copy of "I can feel your heartbeat")
Yup.. a sucker for pop and love songs. That's me.
