Now since I am asking You to Tell Your Blog Name Story,

It is Only fair that I tell about Mine

I bet you all figured with a Blog name like

ZanyMayd

there Must be a Story...

Making a Long story Shorter

I will try to tell this in a Good Light with Funny & Happy Meanings,

but at first I have to Set the Stage.....

I was Married for 17 Long Years - Check

I actually filed for Divorce the week of Our 17th Anniversary - Check

I had found out that Husband & now X Best Bud were having an Affair

(for 2 years - I Must have been Blind) - Check

Bonus of 17 Long Years = 3 Fabulous Kids - Check

Lots of Emotional Abuse - Check, Check, Double Check

(can be worse than broken bones)

Now fast forward to several years after the Big "D"

I had always been Creative, Thank You Grandma - Check

(Teddy bear Maker - Floral designer - Bow Maker)

being Creative really was a Life Saver as a

Single Mom

After Slowly starting to Believe In Myself Again - Check

(It takes a long time to climb out of the pits - still some steps to go)

The voice in my head was saying "I Can Do It"

instead of hearing "Your Stupid & Useless"

I wanted to Spread My Wings & Fly - Check

I Cut My Hair Real Short

(Big Mistakes on a round face)

I started to let My Wild side Out - Check

(No Jail, No Drunken Moments, No Wild Parties)

Just a Good Mom with Hopes & Dreams

I Liked - No, I Loved the word Funky

(My Kids Hated It!)

From Funky came Zany, From Zany came the

ZanyMayd

(My silly side of Mayd, instead of Made - wanting, Needing to be Different)

My Kids will even tell You that I joked

(really it was a Joke)

that I wanted to Change My Name to Zany!

(What I really wanted, was My Maiden Name Back, but it cost too much

$$$ to do that, so I use My Maiden Name

Goode as My Middle Name & kept My Married Last name

to be the same as My Kids.... I did not take into account that when Daughters Marry,

she takes Her Hubby's Last Name - but I do have a Son (same last name & a Bonus from

the Married Daughter, 3 Beautiful Little Ones for This Bubbie to Love xox)

I Know, I'm Rambling!

Are We Bored Yet!?!

I also always Loved the Old Photo that I use for My Profile,

Yes, Me at 2 on a Zebra in Tijuana Mexico

with My Wonderful Mom & Dad

So Zebra, Zany

(see photo above)

(You were Thinking Your Blog Name was Silly)

This is when I should say

& The Rest is History.....

it's been Over 13 Years since the

big "D"

I guess sometimes it takes a Lifetime ...

I am Thrilled & Blessed that I Found

Blogging

or

Did Blogging Find Me

(one of the Door's Right, Tete!)
