Zippermend

Have you ever needed to fix your zipper but you didn't know where to begin? Well I did, recently, and found the perfect product for my needs. Just thought I would share! I got mine for about 7 bucks and my wrist-let was back to new in no time!

What's in a Name?

Weird? Personal pet peeve? I don’t care, I am just going to say it.

Don’t name your child Liam, Xander, Kate, Peggy, or any other name that is SHORT FOR SOMETHING ELSE!

Name your child William, Alexander, Katherine, and Margaret. It sounds much more formal and professional on a business card or deed and from there you can come up with a nickname. If you are worried that someone may try to form their own nickname for your child, either let them because it is adorable and you like it, or correct them and they are sure to never do it again. Then, when your child is old enough to think for themselves, they can decide what they want to be called. Isn’t that fair?

My husband is Steven. But people call him Steve AND Steven and one time his mom tried to correct me and say that it was Steven… but by this point he was 30 years old and very able to correct someone for himself. I mostly call him Steven, but he goes by either. I digress…

Regarding this whole issue, the one that gets me the most is naming your kid Tripp or Trey when they are not a III! If your name is, for example, Robert Griffin, III then by all means, feel free to be nicknamed and called Tripp or Trey, but not if you aren’t a third. It is just confusing.

Don’t even get me started on people in the south naming their baby the woman’s weird maiden name… Anderson or Thomas, yes, but do you really want to be named Blackwell, Schultz, or anything Polish? Didn’t think so.

Enough ranting for now. As you were. :)

Charleston's Top 40

Every year the Charleston Regional Business Journal takes nominations for the areas Top 40 people under 40 years of age. This year, my boss nominated me and I got the news yesterday that I was chosen! I am beyond excited for this event. I have wanted to be nominated for a long time, but to my knowledge, this is the first time that it has happened. Congratulations to the 40 under 40 class of 2014! #40CHS

My First Selfie

I was looking through a bunch of old photos to find some for my friend's wedding slideshow and came across what I believe to be one of my first selfies. I took this almost 8 years ago! Where does the time go?

I Heard a Rumor...

...and they say Emma Stone sent a nude selfie. I say, she is still my favorite and who cares?!? The pic does kind of look like her, and you can look it up if you want, but half of her face is covered! The digital age really leaves no privacy, for anyone. How is one supposed to send a naked pic these days? haha I jest, of course, but really, I still love her.

P.S. I love balloons too. :)

Number Pad Woes

Can we just all agree that the number pad needs a comma? Every time I type a number greater than the hundreds, I always have to stop and think, "Now, where is that comma?" Like I've suddenly lost it or something... I would go out on a limb and suggest that they could replace the number lock key with the elusive comma. #firstworldproblems
