    I just got great news. Hubby's cousin's son is going to be a daddy. They just got married in November. They're a great couple, wonderful people. I've know this kid since he was 11 years old, Jareds age, now he's going to be a dad. Of course he's only 8 years younger then me, so it's not that big a shock, still... I feel old. :(

    This is so wonderful. I'm going to be... um... what am I going to be? Not an Aunt, not a cousin, or second cousin. A third cousin once removed by marriage?

    I'm Alty! Yup, that's it. Auntie Alty. :)

    I usually go by 'lovely' online. It's a shortening of a name I used on myspace for a long time, that was later shortened and used as a screenname on several sites. I use that name for sites I plan to stay while and hang out with people.

    When I signed up here, I just wanted the name of a book. I wasn't planning on staying, so I used my 'spam name' (the name I use on sites I end up visiting one or two times, and ones where socialization isn't really an option, like photobucket).

    The one thing about using this name, is that people often misread it. About half the time, there ends up being an 'l' added. You think I'd be used to it. It's happened my entire life. People misread my last name as health and then act like I'M wrong when I correct them.

    Oh I have a fairly un common first name, and my mother had to be difficult and spell it if even weirder, so when I tell people how to spell my name, they get all cockeyed, and ask if I am sure that's how it is spelled. Especially since there are 3 vowels together. Can you guess my name?

    OK, I know that's wrong, but it's the first thing that popped in my head.

    Funny how you associate a name to someone or something. My Bella is the cutest thing she is three years old and has the greatest smile, her whole face lights up. And when she runs she bounces just like her long light brown natural curls.


    I tried to download a pic of her but had a problem..
