if the blog follows me home can I name it?

Isn't that always the hardest part... the beginning? How in the world can you sum up who you are and what you have to say in a few pithy words? And then put it out there for the world to see? (or in my case a few carefully chosen friends, like the ones who have seen me drunk or know who my junior high teachers were)

Here are a few blog titles that didn't make the cut...

"Teresa's House of Blog" There was a blog I ran into called Trixie's House of Blog and I have severe blog title envy because I LOVE that title! Is it my fault I'm named Teresa? The dullest of dull names. But Trixie... it just sounds like you're going to have a good time in her blog. It all sounds slightly nasty and fun. Teresa's House of Blog sounds like I'm going to take your order and serve you lukewarm blog with a side of fries.

"As Seen on Teresa" Cause I was a TV writer in another life... see? Get it? A play on words. However... without knowing my background it sounds kind of porn-y. You could be expecting a series of photographs of me with someone on me. I like the anticipation aspect of this but when they get here and realize everybody is clothed and there are no links to girl-on-girl action there will be no RSS action for me (see, I'm learning). 

"International House of Toast" Why? Because I love toast! Who doesn't love toast? And I hate pancakes. They're all limp and doughy and redundant. It's my fantasy to start IHOT: International House of Toast. So why not use it as my ridiculous blog name like Monty Python's Flying Circus? But I went poking around the internet and found a shocking number of toast-obsessed blogs, websites and products. Who knew? Fifteen minutes ago I was unique. I dropped the idea since I wasn't planning to write exclusively about toast. Nobody wants to be a toast tease.

"Green Eggs and Blog" Well, this one just speaks for itself. Ridiculous and fun. And taken. Somebody has this blog. Bless um.

So here I am. Looking at that blank space where BLOG NAME should be. Then I remembered dinner last night at Dr. Hogly Wogly's Tyler Texas Bar-B-Cue. It's a hard name to shake.

And "Bloggly Woggly" is born.
