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!)
