Namely

I am up for a name change. Not my name I LOVE my name. That is not egotistical because quite frankly I did not pick it. It was given to me and I just happen to embrace it. I love the alliteration I love the history, (my Mom, Grand mom, Aunts and great Aunts share the formal name with me) I love the meaning or meanings depending on what book one chooses. I love that it is and has been since I can remember one of the top three dog names. I love that I have met numerous dog's with my name but only one other person. I love when I tell people my name and I can hear them smile and turn on an Irish brogue of sorts. The older generation will always comment on my good Irish name before saying good by and quite frankly any name that makes people break out in song be it, "Wake up Maggie", or "I don't wanna work on Maggie's Farm no more" is a good name. My name means a precious stone or pearl, my last name can mean Potato or by the sea. In essence my name is Pearl Potato!! Again alliteration, love it. Not to mention I am found of , "P", words. So I am Pearl Potato, I have a set of twins Popeye and Pixie Potato and their dad Pittsburgh Potato would be found of his label too, (the man dreams in black and gold).

So I am up for a name change but for my blog not my person. I do Banter and of course I always have a bone to pick but I blog less and less about my profession so although by the end of my ranting I am out of breath I rarely do blog about IAQ. So I really need to change my blog's name because for some reason lately it makes me cringe.............I don't know why. It does have alliteration and I am a proponent of "B" words too although they fail to hold a spot in my heart as, "p" words do. In the end its just too stuffy or long or well not working any longer.....who knows the name will change and suggestions will be fielded.

I guess this is as good a time as any to start the list I find so interesting that is going around, 100 things about me. It seems daunting but since I put it out there here is number one.


1) I love my name. One down 99 to go.







This is an old shot I came across. It made me smile so big I had to share.
