mimi: two topics = two times the fun

today i have come up with two orders of business to discuss. first off, name changing. i have some friends who have recently changed their names and others who are seriously considering participating in the process. my first reaction was why change your name??? it's your name you should own it, but then i thought about all of the lame names out there....and i quickly changed my mind. i mean we can't all be mimis (who are actually micheles - yes that's with one l).

so ali, since you are one of my friends considering the switch...i will help you with your search. for the record though, i do enjoy your original name and this is kind of annoying seeing as how we may have to change the name of the blog. here is my list of ten possible names for ali and why she should take them:

10. Pearla: simply due to your endearing childhood tale.

09. Lulu: what a great cartoon!

08. Smith: who doesn't love a first name that can double as a last name.

07. Smythe: because a "y" is always better than an "i" and "e's" are always appropriate for the end of words.

06. Apricot: gwenyth named her kid apple, hello fruits are fair game.

05. Stolie: i am actually just thinking of vodka, but i still feel this is appropriate.

04. Emmaline: it is my cats name and the name of an amazing ben folds song. i will obviously change my cats name if necessary.

03. Legume: i think this actually sounds pretty cool with your last name. (i'm not sure if i am supposed to disclose this information).

02. Bertrand: omg, i would adore calling you Bertie.

01. Baker: this is simply a good, androgynous name.

alright ali, i hope that helps you, but now i am ready for my next topic. it is quite a short topic so don't you all worry your little heads off about having to read for much longer...

last night some of my girls and i were chatting about weddings and all of them made the same, boring point. "i don't really know if i'll get married, but it would be fun to throw the party and get the dress." my ingenious response: "life's a party; buy a dress." aka i now have a new motto. enjoy it and if you quote me, please give credit where credit is due.

as always, much love,
mimers (pronounced meemers)


post script: well i have no post script, i just enjoy the phrase.
