My middle name
I’ve been tagged by Deb for a middle name meme.
My middle name is Rebecca. I’m named after my great-grandmother on my dad’s side (well, we think her legal name was just Becca, but anyway). I really like my middle name.
Now I’m supposed to come up with adjectives to describe myself based on each letter of my middle name. I can’t remember the last time I tried to do one of these writing exercises.
R – Random. I have a tendency to suddenly jump from topic to topic in conversation. And sometimes I just don’t have the patience to go back and explain my train of thought.
E – Excited. When I first get into a project, I’m super enthusiastic! Sometimes that enthusiasm wanes long before I’m done. Sometimes I manage to finish it anyway.
B – Blogger. In case you hadn’t noticed. 
E – Eclectic. Like most people, I have wide-ranging tastes in television shows, music and hobbies. I don’t think my tastes are particularly diverse, but they’re an interesting combination.
C – Crazy. Before I met my husband, one of my criteria for a spouse was that he would be willing to dance to music being played by Brookstone in the airport. (It was “Twist ‘n’ Shout.” Come on, if there’s ever a case for public dancing, that’s it!) I don’t know if Ryan would really do that, though.
C – Clever. Speaking of Ryan, he submitted that one.
A – Assiduous. Dutiful. Workaholic. Committed. Should be committed?
I’m supposed to tag someone for each letter of my name, but I don’t think I even know bloggers with all those letters. So join in in the comments! I love names!
I’ve also received the Nice Matters Award from SingForHim @ RealLife (who was featured on ProBlogger this week!) and Jennifer @ The Life of a School Bus Driver. Thank you ladies!
Just about everyone that I’ve ever contacted in the blogosphere has been nothing but nice, so it’s hard to choose just three people to pass this award on to. But the people who’ve gone out of their way to help me is a little less hard:
- Michelle @ scribbit. She was one of my very first blogging friends and fans; which was really exciting!
- Jen @ Semantically Driven. She helped me with one of my first tutorials by writing instructions for switching to full feeds in TypePad.
- Kailani @ Island Life. The Carnival of Family Life was one of the first ways I received traffic and comments on my blog, and Kailani always tries to mention my latest pet project
So thank you, ladies, for always being so nice to me.
Edited to add: Deb, Mom of 3, also kindly named me as a nice blogger!

I like it
August 21st, 2007 at 5:05 amI think you have a lovely middle name – although I may be a bit biased there as my youngest is a ‘Rebecca’.
Thanks for playing along!
August 21st, 2007 at 8:01 amThanks so much, that’s just so nice of you! Shows how much you deserve that award.
Both of my brothers married Rebeccas, which has made life a little confusing around here
And I’d agree with Ryan on the Clever part, definitely.
August 21st, 2007 at 10:00 amThank you so much for the award and for always being such a big supporter of the Carnival of Family Life. You definitely are a “nice” blogger!
