I want to switch my first and middle names, because it's a pain in the butt going by my middle name but having half my official paperwork in my full legal name.
My sister! All the girls in my family have my mom's middle name as their first names. We were meant to go by *our* middle name. Which causes serious problems in a world that likes to act as if middle names should only be initials, if acknowledged at all. Of course, if I legally changed my name, I think my mom would be hurt.
My brothers (as usual) have it easier. They all have my dad's name as their middle names. I asked my parents why they did this and they said it was to forestall fights between in-laws about which family names got immortalized as part of each kid's name.
Had my first leftovers from my family's T-day. Sadly, there is no pie left except for a boughten banana cream pie and a LARGE boughten pumpkin pie (still sealed). I'm consoling myself by telling myself the pies that are gone were likely boughten and nothing special. B'fast consisted of a bit of turkey, gravy & stuffing. And some of the cranberry jello thing I made. That's the nice thing about making something you like that not many others like - there are leftovers. I made it not to be selfish, but because it actually is a traditional dish from my mom's side of the family.
It's relatively silent here right now. Either my brother's family are visiting his in-laws in town or they've left. Either way, I'd best take advantage and get to the recording I've had to put off for 2 days due to lots of house noise.
