Name My Kitty

Huh? What’s a euphemism?

Anyway…

Here’s the thing: my cat doesn’t have a name. And I am a really, really bad pet name thinker-upper.

When she was first given to me, we didn’t get along so well. I was super frustrated with her and she seemed less than happy to be with me and Louis.

Left Out

I didn’t like the name she came with, “Baby”. And anyway it wasn’t her real name – some things like that you can just tell are all wrong. So I ended up calling her kitty all the time.

I finally decided that would just be her name. Kitty.

But now…

My Kitty 2

Now I luuurrrv her.

And I just feel wrong calling her kitty. I always knew that was a placeholder, not her real name.

Kitty

You talkin’ to me, lady? Cause I don’t answer to “hey you”.

My problem is I have no idea what her real name is.

I need help finding it.

Looking Out

I know it’s out there somewhere. If you’d let me out, I could find it for myself.

I’m pretty sure it’s multi-syllable. And it may start with a C. But maybe not.

That’s all I got.

We need your help!

What do you think her name should be?

the Infinite Monkey speaks: on the strengthening of good

Random brilliance from across the blogosphere…

.

Because that’s where evil always screws up – it hurts people, and there are those who will never recover; it wounds us collectively in the short term; but it galvanizes the good in humanity.  Evil almost always results in the strengthening of good.

Two, Two years of blogging ah ah ah

Today marks my two year blog anniversary.

I was just telling somebody yesterday that blogging has changed my life.

It hasn’t changed who I am.

But it has changed what I think about who I am, and what I’m doing with who I am.

.

Blogging has changed what I think about who I can be.

I am living in the same house and driving the same car to the same job.

And yet my life is on a different trajectory than it was before.

The little circle that was my life two years ago is now the circumference of the world.

And the goals that I’ve set and the steps that I’ve taken to grow myself are a direct result of what has been happening in this space.

That’s a pretty cool thing.

–

So I want to take a moment and say thank you.

Thank you so much for being here with me, for visiting me and chatting with me, for encouraging and supporting me.

To those of you who blog, thank you for all you put out there for the world to see.

Thank you for sharing of yourselves.

I started the Infinite Monkey posts because what you say matters.

Because it makes us think, feel, laugh and understand.

That’s a truly great thing.
