So, I changed the blog. Ya know, for all you 4 readers out there! My real drive for this was to get our last name off of it. I haven't had any bad experiences, I just decided I wanted a bit more privacy and thought that before the baby comes would be a good time for the change. I don't feel I need to actually make the blog "private" (requiring a login) so for now this works.
Coming up with a new name was a bit more tricky than I thought. Apparently (ok, well, I knew this already) I'm not that creative, so everything that I thought of to describe a family blog was pretty much taken already. I finally settled on Custom Mix because, mainly, it was available! But, it does actually have some significance.
While I tend to blog mostly about X (because it's kind of his digital baby book) I do talk about some other things, so it is a "custom mix" of topics. I also thought that our family is a custom mix of people. Additionally, for those that know me well, you know I love to paint (rooms and furniture, not pictures). I've been known to, on several occasions (and just a few weeks ago!), create a "custom mix" paint from stuff that I already have. It's kind of a joke when someone asks "What color is that?" and I say "Oh it's a custom mix". What this really means is I got out a bunch of paint cans from the basement and started mixing to see what I could come up with to avoid spending money on a new gallon of paint!
So is the name a stretch? Maybe, but frankly, I don't care. I like it. This is all for fun anyway, right?
