......... going to the nursery and picking out pepper and chive and parsley and basil plants and repotting the marigolds and getting our hands/kitchen table dirty and seeing them all lined up all happy along the balcony.
........ going to the pet store and buying three danio fish and naming them Alleris (meaning 'of a city by the sea'), Portia (meaning 'harbor') and Siren (a reference to the singing mermaids). They look pinstriped in some light, and glitterygold in others. They remind me of 1920's flappers, theater costumes and my new blog template, all at once. So you can see their names are very appropriate. *pats self on back*

i once helped my friend name her three little danio fish. i chose snap, crackle, and pop. i thought it was obvious.
then i learned another friend had named her two fish schlemiel and schlemazel, and i felt inferior.
Wow. GREAT names.
I love names.
i do too. i usually feel quite a bit of pressure to make them extra good. and sometimes the pressure is so great i freeze and my mind goes blank.
uhh...
what was i saying?
