My son John's girlfriend......... I don't have the right camera with me....... sorry...! I'll call this -
"Pretty girl on horse that better not break my son's heart!" Not exactly inspired..... but I'm saving those for you guys!
I'd like to say a few things about titles. Titles started out as something fun and silly. I think I threw one someones direction just because... and then one lead to another. Now it's become a great challenge. I had said earlier, I don't remember if it was an email or a meeting, that only members from 2007 would get the first titles. With 2008, and 2009 following as that made sense to me. First Editions, being a year behind had different rules. Well, I hit a nerve. The really raw exposed kind, so I've been working hard at coming up with a title for everyone.. It has been fun. Now keep in mind, some of you I don't know that well, and it will take me a little longer to come up with the proper one. As I told Aaron, I would like each title to reflect each persons intelligence, beauty and giftedness, not to mention skill set, and I have to do this in about 36 characters. That is why our Statistician became "Visually Stunning", Aaron didn't feel his title reflected his beauty. (Aaron's name keeps coming up, doesn't it? I think he was sitting by me that day.) Do you think I spew these out in about a minute? I spent 35 minutes the other morning on one. Trying to find a 5 letter word for Commonwealth or a 3 letter word for All Knowing just doesn't fly off the top of my head like you think it would. Keep in mind, Whiner First Class is still available and I hope stays that way. For those of you who wonder why you have the title you do, it's because I have you under observation and a job in mind for you! If any of you are so strongly opposed to your title and you just don't feel you can live with it, please let me know and I'll see what my staff and I can do about this. I certainly don't want anyone unhappy about something they will wear forever.
And with the subject of titles I might as well mention "naming things". I love to! And you may have noticed 1st Saturdays is First Editions and 4th Saturdays is Fourth Editions. The tiresome thing with this project was that with each notion that popped into my head, I had to go in and "try it on" each page to see how it looked and that got so tedious, but I had to know! You don't want a funny looking page any more than I do! But I think we have something we can live with, and that makes perfect sense.
I had received an idea from a member in good standing who shall remain anonymous at this time. I'm hoping she will run with it, I think it sounds like a lot of fun and could be a big hit! I only mention it now because, if given a nudge, she may be forced out of hiding and go for it! I named it - "2nd Page, Another Look-Watch the Movie, Read the Book! This idea is still under construction, but watch this space or pay attention and you will hear more about it! (She may want to name it something else, my names may be tapping out...until my next creative surge!)
So now names are all I think about, when I'm driving, doing dishes, you can't say you all aren't on my mind. It's just that now you're Executives, and Supreme Seductresses or Anointed ones, it all started with our Sweet as Pecan Pie, Southern Belle. And who can blame anything on an innocent Southern Bell Charmer?..........somebody stop me!
