Let the Voting Begin!

Remember when I asked you all to think of roller derby back-up names for me? Well, it's time to vote!

I had a lot of suggestions on the Facebook page and my personal page. I ran them through the database, and posted the ones with no conflicts or "low" conflicts. So, if you see your suggestion listed in the poll, it means you're original and creative... Get down with your funky, ingenious self! ::bom-chicka-wah-wah::


The poll will stay open until midnight, February 28th, and the creator of the name with the most votes will receive a signed copy of my book, Everything I Need to Know About Motherhood I Learned from Animal House, so make sure you send all your friends to vote for your entry so you can shamelessly stuff the ballot box.

If you're on a mobile device or blog reader, or receiving an email subscription, you may need to visit this post directly on your computer to see the poll and participate. ::Quick check - Can you see the poll below? If not, I'm talking to YOU!::

Poll: Dressing vs. Stuffing - Does It Matter if It's Shoved Into a Bird's Butt?

Today, The Gonzo Mama asks that age-old question: Do you still call it "stuffing" if it's not shoved into a dead bird's butt? Or do you call it "dressing" instead?

Help Us Name Our Babies for the Adoption!

Good news! We are doing the last round of paperwork for Curlytop's and Snugglebug's adoptions!

Included in this infernal stack of paperwork is the document in which we declare the girls' new legal names. Um, yeah... So now we have to decide how we are going to spell the names we picked out for them two years ago.

Wanna help?



Of course I value your input, my dear readers. I am anxiously looking forward to finding out what you think I should name my children... Just know that if I don't like the majority answer, I reserve the right to overrule it.

We are not changing the babies' first names much; just changing the spelling for one and lengthening the other. We are giving them new middle names, though.

Just don't get all, "OMG - You're changing their names?!" on me, because let me tell you... I've had Curlytop since she was seven months old, and Snugglebug since she was five days old. I think I've earned a little creative license, okay?

It's not like I'm Angelina, completely changing a five-year-old's name. OKAY?

Also... in case you were interested (and I know you were), Annmarie (or AnnMarie) is a mashup of Mr. Wright's mama's middle name (Marie) and my mama's (Ann).

AND... Sinclair/Synclair (or Sinclaire/Synclaire) is an extension of my brother's middle name, which is Clair.

Yes, he knows it's a fat girl's name.
