Nicknames and such...

So, it seems that, as friends we are creating nicknames for each other. Wendi is clearly "Southern Belle". Tami is the "Princess". I was dubbed "Lady Leslie" by Tami's AWESOME husband...although I don't believe for a MINUTE anyone else, but Tami and Dave, will EVER call me that! Curt gets "Eaglescout" for obvious reasons. Although his "Order of the Arrow" is sadly overlooked. :(

Now, when discussing my husband, I've given him the unfortunate moniker of "The Beast". Whereas, Tami and Wendi call him "Nocturnal Grand Master"!

Growing up, I was almost never called by my name. Everyone in my family always had a nickname for me...and I for them. It was always something silly with a story that was WAY too long to explain. So, just for reference, here are just a few of the nicknames I've been called in my life...and STILL answer to.

Squeeze
Bessa Mae
Mooch
Magoona magonna magooch
Bessy
Beezwax
Beezwaxamundo
Squeezemiester
LJ
Jenny
Toots (not like the train sound. LOL)
Babydoll
The Momma
Presh
Honey



Gah, I think that's it. Well, that's all of the ones I can actually POST! I've had just as many nicknames for my family and friends. It makes me feel good to use nicknames with people. It makes it feel like home.

Yes, I want explanations. I'm thinking along the lines of an essay of just a few pages. Or maybe our next gathering. Tell the Nocturnal Grand Master howdy!

I'll blog about the names again soon. And perhaps explain some of them.

Wendi...this is fun...and you've created a MONSTER! AHHHHHH!!!
