Erin, that's FABulous news! Yay job! And a pretty great job, too!
Oh yeah, the southern double-name is ubiquitous. The famous Jim Bob Walton, Eddie Ray, and his son Eddie Ray Junior, Carol Ann, Jane Carol. I knew three Jane Carols growing up. And three Ann Maries. Caroline was always "Carralin". Then there's my cousin Effie June. And Zen's right, they're all run together in speech so they sound like one word.
My mother had wanted to name me Sarahjane. She didn't like Sarah Jane, but really liked Sarahjane, for some reason. Then when she knew she wanted to name me an H name, she considered Hildyanne and Hildysue. My mom's not southern, she just likes the compound names.
When I was coming up with a name for my firstborn, I very seriously considered Mary Jane. I wanted to somehow name her after my mom Mary but didn't want to call her the exact same name. In the end, I went with my mom's middle name.
Also Georgia's former governor, Joe Frank Harris.
I have an Uncle Joe Frank.
Daniel and I just had our Thanksgiving feast - ham with sweet potatoes, scalloped potatoes, sugar snap peas, and an apple-cranberry pie. Yum.
Yum
I am watching the Wizard of Oz. the last time I saw it we watched with the dark side of the moon -- now I am watching it with the real sountrack. even more surreal "you killed her so completely"
Munchkins sleep in nests? but they have houses?
At my old job, all the guys went by their middle names. My grandfather also goes by his middle name.
Am tipsy. Had a lovely evening with my friend Nancy and met her bf. Adorable. I'm smoking one last cigarette and they're talking in my driveway and I'm a biscuit away from drunkish- dialing B.
Lions and tigers and bears OH MY
