It's all in a name...

Whew! I'm glad that part is over.
What part you ask? Well the part of naming my new blog of course!

With me being a middle child and having the astrological sign of a Taurus, perfectionism, as well as being competitive, run through my blood. So many names for this blog ran through my head....The Storck Nest, My Bird Nest, Hole 6, Mama Bird, Confessions of a wife who lost her husband to The Discovery Channel and so on and so forth. So you can see why I'm tired right?

Although I have been married almost a year, I have NOT adjusted to my new last name yet. My maiden name was English and I must have taken that for granted in another life, because I meet, fell in love with, and married a (drum roll please) Storck. Sounds pretty easy right? But because of that one little letter, the third little letter in the alphabet, I will forever be spelling my new last name.

I spell it 10,ooo times a day when I give my e-mail address over the phone, when I call the Doctor's office, when I call the bank, when I order pizza from Dominoes, when I call Verizon, and when I ... well you get the picture. And don't even get me started when I call to order Chinese food from Mr. Liu's. It's a nightmare trying to give Mr. Liu the correct spelling of my last name. I just give up and tell him "Sue".

So, imagine my surprise when I go to pick a blog name and 'The Storck Nest' is taken. Taken?! What!? I retyped it as quickly as I could, thinking to myself, the blogger name appover guy surely must have misread my last name and thought I spelled it with out the precious "C". I wanted him to grant the approval of such a clever play on my new last name. And I wanted it NOW!
But there it was...again..."blog name already exists". This is ludicrous I thought! Who are the other Storck people, (with a "C"), and why, WHY, did they take my blog name? I did what any other new blogger would do. I immediately went to the other Storck's blog page. I took one look at their blog and I had to immediately look away. They, the other Storck's, have only posted 6 blogs within the last 2 years. They took my beloved blog name and now they don't use it?

What's a girl to do? Report them to the blog police? Throw a middle child temper tantrum? Cry?

Oh no, I will not do any of these things. Nor will I get mad. I hardly ever get mad, but I always GET EVEN! (Did I mention I was the middle child)

So it is ON other Storck Nest blog....oh it is on.


p.s. Do NOT, I repeat, Do NOT go to the other Storck blog and give those undeserving bloggers your traffic!
