Where go? What Do?

Where go? What do?
One of the many choices I considered while naming this blog. It's something that my children and I used to say to one another.
Where go? What do? It was our casual way of asking how your day was or what kind of mischief you were about to get into. It usually brought a big grin and a pause for long enough to chat and laugh and be close. But not always.

Where go?
I suppose I should write about who I am and where I've been. Not just the geography of the whole thing but where I have been in lifes journey. This is something I have often wondered if I really should do or not.

I have a lot of skeletons in my closet. Some of them still rattle.

What do?
The saying "Been there, done that, got the t-shirt" completely applies to this old broad.
There are days when I feel as if I am the life sized cutout from a country western song.

As I sit here and ponder just how much of my life I want to post on the Internet, I wonder how much of myself I am willing to expose to the entire world. At this very moment - maybe not so much.

After all, if you give of yourself by reaching out and opening up, you take the risk of being hurt. But then again if you don't take chances you cannot grow.

I'll figure it out. For now though I think that I'll just start with the now.
Maybe later I'll go on to the who, what, when and where.

Naming a blog is HARD!

Registering a blog name has been interesting.

Just the thought that it would take two days to come up with a name for this blog irritates me. While searching for a name that would be catchy, relate to my life and personality or have meaning, has shown me that people are infinately self centered. Myself included.

Not News to you? Of course not.

Have you any idea how many really fabulous blog names there are out there where a person has registered it, and then just let it die? Some are five and six years old. Perhaps even older. Names I would have gladly used, except that someone used them once or not at all and then just chucked them into the bottom of the closet like a dirty sock and forgot about them. It's a shame really.

While looking for a blog name I looked at the names of blogs I really wanted. I was trying to see what sort of person would be like minded enough to choose the title. I found I have nothing in common with most of them. I did run across one young ladie's blog where she posted something like "I find casual swearing completely unacceptable" I found her high horse attitude kinda pissed me off but the two words stuck enough that I jotted them down.

So here I am casually swearing under my breath at those who abandoned the many delightful little blogs.

I thought I was settling for this name, but now that I look at it - it suits me perfectly.
