Lame Blog Name

Some of you may be wondering, "Corrie, you have such entertaining blog posts. You're so creative, funny, witty, inspirational and thought-provoking. Why does your blog have such a lame name?" Well, to the first two sentences I would reply, "Thank you, you're so kind!" To the third sentence I would reply, "Great question, reader!"

You see, when I first created this blog, I was planning to move to the other side of the world - somewhere in Asia was my original destination. Now no one's to say that I still won't move there someday. I mean I'm still young and single and I have my whole life ahead of me. But what I'm trying to explain was that, although there were probably many more creative options for blog names, I wanted to make sure that I didn't post anything religious, sensitive or controversial so as to attract unwanted attention from the government of whatever country I was in. Also, I thought it was a neat idea that I would be in a different "world" from most of my friends and family, so I thought they would like to know what things were like in my world.

Well, as we've all come to realize, I'm just in Oklahoma. Not that different of a world from the world the rest of my friends and family live in. But you're right, my blog name is pretty dumb. So I'm taking suggestions. What should I re-name my blog? If I like your idea, I might use it. Comment on this post, email me at corrie.matchell@gmail.com, facebook me, or tell me in person what you think I should rename my blog.

"Corries super exciting blog"
"How not to bake a pie"
"light a match-ell" (har)
"16 uses for a chopstick"

All of those are pretty terrible, but I'm really sleepy. I generally use a quote from a book I like!

My blog began as a round the world journey as well. While single I lived in Russia and Turkey and blogged about it. NOW, I am a wife and mother and living in Texas. I've thought of renaming...but I'm kinda attached. I chose a verse from one of my favorite songs.
