Well now isn't this exciting. I officially have a blog. For this you have the short, snarky, indian friend to thank. She said it was super easy to get a blog. She was a) lying or b) drastically overestimating my computer-using abilities. I lean towards the second option because it took me a solid 10 minutes to figure out the "new post" button was how you post stuff. However, you can't trust short people.
Anyway a couple hours ago my big brother's wife's water broke! I'm going to be an aunt for the first time! It's a girl and her name will be Charlotte (I'm pretending its a tribute to Charlotte Bronte and to Victorian Lit in general). I was talking about her today with my supervisor Jenny , and she mentioned how few ways there were to shorten Charlotte. To this I suggested that she could go by Lottie. My supervisor then started singing the 80s hip hop party song Lotti Dotti by Doug E. Fresh and Slick Rick. I really like my supervisor. And bad 80s hip hop. Sorry Charlotte for pinning a nickname on you from a truly awesomely awful song. (I'd post the song but I don't know how to copy links into entries yet.)
Well now I'm going to go to sleep and hopefully wake up an auntie. Goodbye to my nonexistent as of yet followers.
...how is it hard to blog? you sign up and then you post things. i blame your blondness.
ReplyDeletebut awwww there's going to be a mini-sarah in the world? (because, in my head, your niece is gonna have a crazily strong resemblance to you...she's got a victorian lit name. it's destiny) that's so cute. get on the brainwashing now. read bits of jane eyre to her in the cradle.
hello, neighbor.
ReplyDeletewow, she got you too? if it's any consolation, i had trouble with the new post button too...
I think the name Charlotte is a tribute to Charlottesville because that's where they met, correct? Lottie's is a super cute nickname though.
hello college buddy. come on, blogging isn't hard. we'll teach you pics and gifs and embedding.
ReplyDeleteLottie is cute. Charley/Charlie is a possibility at the risk of turning her into a butch or at the very least, a tomboy (not that bad, really).
