The Interview:
1. What's the one thing you've done that you really wish you could takeback? See, now this is always a tricky question. I could respond very cliche and say I have no regrets because you learn from everything - good or bad. But the fact is that I should have left AZ as soon as I got pregnant with Emilee. That is my biggest regret because I was so emotionally unstable by the time he and I finally split that I wasn't me.
2. Why did you start blogging?
There was this girl on another site who had a blog. I didn't start right away... actually the reason I didn't was because I was trying to finish my NanoWrimo for that month, but I digress. I started because I was enjoying other blogs and figured I would give it a shot. I really love it. It gives me an outlet for all the writing I want to do.
3. What is the coolest thing that has ever happened to you?
Becoming a mom. No contest. The first time I saw my [first] daughter was the defining moment of my life. Everything I have ever felt since has been because of them. I have no doubts that the reason I am here if for them.
4. Where in the world would you most like to visit?
Ireland... followed very closely by Greece.
5. How did you choose your kids' names?
It's so funny that you asked me this since I found the list of names for Amanda when I was cleaning earlier... Anyway, with Amanda, I had to have her middle name be Kate because my middle name is my mother's mother's name and so my daughter's middle name had to be my mother's name. Amanda was the closest to a compromise that her father and I could come to on a first name. I wanted to name her Tiana.
With Emo, we were torn between Emily Angel and Elizabeth Hope. We chose the latter when she was born, but when her father went home, I changed my mind. lol When the lady came in with the birth certificate, I decided to name her Emilee Hope. Why? I couldn't tell you for sure. Now Amanda and Emilee have the same last name, so their name's have the same number of vowels and letters. Also, Amanda - 3 A's. Emilee - 3 E's. Yeah, I am weird.
With Triniti, I wanted to name her something that I liked that her father didn't because I am a petty bitch when
I wanted to name her Lylou. Why? Because it had no definition. He wanted a name that meant 'strong' or 'solid'. He wanted something and I quote here "that looks good on her office door". OMFG. Needless to say, when I proposed Violet Sky, he almost shit a brick. Anyway, I decided to name her Trinity because the non-biblical definition is 'third in a set of three', which she is. She is my third daughter in a set of three daughters and his third child. I changed the 'y' on the end to an 'i' because, well, it fit in with my three vowel thing I had going. Triniti - 3 I's.
Triniti's middle name is Eden... No huge reason on this, I just really liked it. And it is four letters like Kate and Hope. And I like order damnit, lol.
Emilee likes to say that Trin's middle name is Eden because she is 'eatin' all the time, lol.
And that is also how I have my screen name :)
