Porch Picnic

We had a picnic on the front porch today. Just Cup and I. We spread out blankets, split a Lean Cuisine pizza and played some hopscotch sketched out with sidewalk chalk. We took a ride on the porch swing. Oh, and Cup blew some bubbles with her Bubble Gun.

It was a blissful twenty minutes.

new blog name?

I've been thinking about hanging the name of the old blog. We don't really call Bean "Bean" or Cup "Cup" anymore. Their nicknames have morphed into all kinds of crazy concoctions. Bean is Kong, Surly Shirley, Fatty (said with nothing but love) or #2. Cup is Chatty Cathy, The Negotiator, Baby Doll or #1. So I feel disconnected from the blog's name and like I could do better. And that "do better" feeling never sits well with me for very long.

The other problem is that "the Cup and Bean" sounds like a blog about coffee. Yeah...there's that too.

So, I'm taking suggestions for a new blog name. Something catchy, obviously. And relevant. I'll be thinking on it myself as well, but perhaps I should have a big promtional sweepstakes with the winning entry earning a trip to Palm Spring or something!! Odds would be pretty good for winning, as I think I have about 3 regular readers.

Hmmm...something to think about.
