baby names

so it appears to me that naming a person is, like, a pretty big freaking deal.  ya know?  i mean, i picked out puppy names before... but golly gee willikers.  a person?  it's so much of how we identify with ourselves and the world around us.  it determines a lot of which jokes will be poked at you in middle school.  or at family functions.  or at work.  or at the doc's office.  i digress.

i REALLY love miss betty's name.  a little dumb for me to use such a rad name for my dog, but i love her little smunchy cute face and her terrible puppy breath and her crooked teeth and wacky einstein hair. 

okay sorry.  too much coffee maybe?  making the ADHD a bit pronounced...

anyhoodles.  i have my baby's name(s) picked out.  because i'm that kind of a chick, man.  i'm a dreamer and a hopeless romantic and omg is my CLOCK TICKING...  babies.babies.babies.  huh?  okay.  right.  names.  <3

i strongly urge you not to steal THAT NAME.  (the name that i'm too afraid of jinxing.  which is why my silly self deleted it.)

i'm looking at you, MO. 

just kiddin', sis. 

but really.  i'm in LURVE with E names right now.  and apparently, so is every.one.else.  at least, those who are being blessed with offspring.

eleanor.  gorgeous.
ellie.  so sweet.
evelyn.  heart.wrenching.beauty.
evangelina.  just stop.

i can't take it anymore!  so much love...

i always thought i wanted boys.  dirty, smelly, rambunctious, loud, playful...

but the idea of braiding hair, painting nails, ruffles, flowers and bows is starting to sound... sweet.

and there i go. drifting off into dreams of the future.  so, for right now, i'm hanging on to the memories we're making now...

last night: the sound of my roommate and our neighbor clinking sangria glasses, laughing and dancing in the living room.  me, reading and working on my yoga stuff while B chews on - god only knows what that is.  calling my love, whispering some half-conscious murmurings of adoration just before i pass out on my lavender scented sheets... all these moments.  the precious few remaining moments of singledom.
