Just for Giggles. Seriously...

Here's a website that I have visited a few times in the past. It's pretty damn funny. I have no idea if these folks are truly writing Handbag and asking for baby naming advice or if it's one big joke. Some of these are just too good to be true.

And again, may I note that I just find this generally amusing, it is no way commentary on anyone's choices. OK? Please? I promise. In fact, I see a baby name in here (albeit in a different spelling than I would choose) that I have in mind if we would ever have another girl.

Okay, that site definitely needs perusing! Very funny! Gosh, we should have been more inventive...like Rachelle or Genyvyve or we could have called Eli, "Even" so then he would have REALLY fit his personality - Even Kuehl.

I was thinking...you know, Josiah is probably the only kid around with the middle name Snelling, so when it comes to "different", Hans and I are there too. To some extent, anyway. I would have preferred Raychelle. Actually, most people spell my name Raechel, which I think is strange, as to me, Rachel is the simpler of the two.

Some very funny stuff there. Seriously, what is it with all the 'y's? Though I do have to admit that 'Pytor' would have been a pretty cool name. Hmmmmm...

Dammit Jan! I could have been
"Gynyvyyve Gryce Elyece"...
Rachel, "Snelling" is a different name, but at least you put it in the middle.
Unique names are great (Genevieve, Eli, Josiah)--weird names that nobody has a clue how to pronounce and just have random vowels and letters added...irk me to no end. Sorry if I'm offending anyone, but I truly can't help it! It's one of the few things that make me want to poke my own eyes out just so I can't read the name.

Sunday

Moody, cloudy Sunday morning in bed with coffee and a new book.  Wrapped up reading a book that could have been so much better, had the characters had a little more...character.  It was a skimmer, for sure.  As I've gotten older, I have given up the notion that all books were meant to be read start to finish.  I've waded in as much as a couple hundred pages before letting go and putting one down.  There are too many books and too little time to waste on a book that doesn't keep my attention. If the rain holds off, I'm looking forward to hooking up this cleaner spray to my hose and spraying my windows and siding.  I know, I know...life is so exciting, right?!  Have I described where I live, the pipestem?  That is the Virginia vernacular term for a little offshoot lane that branches from the main road, upon which are a few homes--in our neighborhood, probably 4-6 houses on each pipestem.  We have four.  Next to us is Car Hoarder Neighbo...

Cherry Blossom, Part II

Tired of cherry blossoms yet?  Oh good, because here are a few more:     These are from just a few hours ago...the cherry blossom or sakura, is truly ephemeral.  The blossoms appear almost overnight and won't last more than a few days, depending on weather.  It's important to get out and appreciate them while you can.  The Japanese actually have a term, hanami, for the "sport" of viewing sakura and there are many, many places in Japan where people flock to see sakura in breathtaking settings.   I'll settle for CFAY, since I'm still single parenting and the Japanese school children are on spring holiday, so the crush would be intense anywhere we would go.  If you saw my last post, you know I had to bribe the kids with ice cream for a two hour trip down to Miurakaigan to view the blossoms a couple of weekends ago.   It's been a busy couple of weeks.  I had a new class start up, just the other half o...

This is 45

-
I think I need to get into it a little more to really FEEL it, but this is 45.  Middle of the road?  Maybe.  Both of my grandmothers made it past 90, so we shall see. All of the most important people in my life wished me a happy birthday today, including the adorable people who made me and brought me into this world.  It is my habit now to thank THEM for my birthday, because let's be honest, if that man didn't love that woman, I wouldn't be here,  right now.  Thanks, guys...totally, 100% serious. The Captain was out of town for my birthday weekend, he got back at supper tonight, unerringly arriving just in time to sit down and eat.  It's really OK.  I started out my weekend on Friday at my favorite shopping joint, then returned home, changed into sweatpants and settled in for some trash TV watching (in this case, the completely stupid "90 Day Fiancee" (don't get into it, it's like watching a car wreck that you could see coming miles away))....
