How to Survive Life in the Suburbs

The Name Game

in Uncategorized on 04/03/09

I jumped into this bloggy world head first. I knew I wanted to write about my life here in the Suburbs. Perhaps document some of the crazy happenings, occasionaly note my disgust, and share my joy. My biggest hopes, to get my creative juices flowing and carve out some time just for me!
I was so enthusiastic I quickly “designed” my page and started writing. I really didn’t have a clue what I was doing, just stumbling along.
It’s been a couple of months now and I have to say I am now a blog addict! I love to read read read those blogs, and get a thrill from each comment and each new follower! Who new anyone would ever follow me! Wow!
I now realize I have missed a very important step. I do believe it is time to come up with some more permanent type ..cutesy and descriptive…names for those who I dare share about in print. What to call all of these important people in my life that I so often reference?

Let’s start with Hubby. I think he shall just remain Hubby. This moniker can be added to as needed. For example. That Clueless Hubby, my Sweet Hubby, Darling Hubby, Frustrating Hubby of mine, or maybe that should say Frustrated Hubby! Squishy Hubby, Adorable Hubby, Love of my Life Hubby. Yes, I think Hubby will suffice.

I also have two darling daughters. Much too generic.

Darling daughter # 1 (10 year old going on 16): Options would include.
CheerGirl (already in use by I blogger I love to read), GymGirl, AthleticOne, SassyChild, Brainiac, GiftedGirl, TeenBaby, or BabyTeen, SocialButterfly,or even DaddysGirl. The problem, I don’t think any of these come close to summing her up. I think I shall dub her BlueEyes for a while and see how that goes. Form the moment this child was born people have remarked on her unbelievable blue eyes and dark brown hair. Yes, BlueEyes it is.

Darling Daughter #2 (7 year old, quiet fashionista) options would include:
SweetGirl, QuietOne, ThinkingChild, Blondie, LittleOne, Boo, DancerGirl, SwimmerGirl, SunSeeker, GroovyGirl, Giggles, or even SarcasticOne. Again, impossible to sum up in one little word, but I think the most obvious choice for my youngest is the first. Darling Daughter number two shall be called SweetOne.

Hubby, BlueEyes and SweetGirl.

Better not forget Chips the fish and Shadow the faithful Black Lab.
Ahh. That feels better. Let the blogging begin.

      Im glad you started your blog, too! It’s fun to follow.

      Our nicknames were easy … my husband was a gamer long ago. And I met him through a friend he gamed with, so, I knew him as his gamer name before I knew his real name. So … Magneato grew into The Neatos: Magneato, Pretty Neato, Super Neato, Damn Neato, etc …
