Thursday Thoughts

1. The ladies have spoken, Mr. ESPN shall remain - if Dennis doesn't like it he can start his own blog (yeah - like that will ever happen). Although I did laugh about Laurie's suggestion of "Sweet Love". That would only work if I blogged when I was drunk. Not sure that would work since I blog a lot from work.
2. Bunco - had a nice time with the ladies last night but didn't win a darn thing ... last month I won the prize and my cash back. Oh well still a good excuse to hang with the neighborhood ladies. Plus my neighbor brought me her daughter's Little Red Riding Hood costume for Chatty to use. Gotta love hand me downs!
3. At soccer practice one of the dad's told me that he went to school to have lunch with his son. His son is in another Kindergarten class (who happens to have the same lunch period as Chatty's class). Chatty walked all the way over to this boy's table to say hi to his dad and remind him they play soccer together. Can you tell she is super social and loves all the kids dads?
4. My sweet friend the Kingston Queen is getting married tomorrow and will officially become the Queen. She is such a sweet person and great friend. It's weird to think I hired her out of college 6 or so years ago (I think it has been that long). Chatty is going to the wedding with us so she can see what it is like in preparation for her Flower Girl duties in January, plus she loves a good party and dancing! I will post some pic this weekend or early next week.
5. First soccer game of the new season on Saturday ... Chatty is very excited to be playing again ... Nana and Poppa will be there for all the action. May have some stories about the new Soccer Team Mom who is causing quite the rucus ...

Say My Name, Say My Name, Say My Name

Ok now I will have that Beyonce song in my head all morning. I was talking to Mr. ESPN last night and said, hey I gave props to your Phillies on the blog yesterday - you want to see it? I pull it up and he looks at it and criticizes it. First he says it is copyright infringement with the logo, then complains that I may jinx his team by posting about them and finally says "can't you think of a better name for me on the blog?" Before I started the blog I asked him for suggestions for the blog title and our "character" names. Did he have any suggestions or want to be bothered with it at that time? Nope! Last night when he complained about being called Mr. ESPN, I asked him if he had suggestions for a different name and of course he didn't. Sounds like most politicians these days, complain about the current state of affairs (i.e. health care, etc.) and have no valid solution to put forth! I thought this name was perfect for him since he is so obsessed with sports and that channel (or one of it versions, i.e. ESPN2, ESPN News, etc.) is on at our house more than any other channel. I won't even go into how he brought a second tv into the family room last weekend so we could watch 2 games at one time (no that wasn't the first time he has done that).

So ladies I will send it out there to you ... any suggestions on a blog name for him? His real name is Dennis (don't ask why I don't just use our real names - I just thought it would be fun to go by something a little different), growing up his family called him Dennie (I hate this name with a passion sounds like a pansy), in college they called him Big D (I hate this for him too because Big D is Dallas not my husband) and most of the time I just call him D. I am sure he will be thrilled that I am asking other women for their opinion on his blog name, but that's what you get when you complain.
