My stripper name?

Gotcha' !
This isn't what I'm sure you were expecting to find . If you were looking for something a little risqué as in porn I could probably tell you where to find it but it would have to be on the sly as I have family that would quickly disown me .
I came up with the name because in a former life my best friends were strippers much to my ex husband's dismay....and jealousy. Many a time my stripper friends and I would have lunch, discuss their children, yes many were mommies, and they would run their routines by me. I would gleefully tell the ex about this later in the evening and watch the veins pop in his forehead. I even toyed with the idea of naming my daughter after one of them and swore that if she did become a stripper I would be supportive of her line of work.
Then I myself became a mommy and while my baby did get a stripper middle name I did steer her into a different way of life. Although if you knew her name and put her initials together you would think I had joined a satanic cult. The nurse caught it though and probably thinking into the future decided to put her own spin on my child's name by joining the two middle names and saving her from a sure spot in hell.
Since then this child was joined by 3 minions/siblings and children of her own, there are other grandchildren, life partners,  including my own. There are step children, animals with mental health issues equal to our own, delusions of grandeur and in all of us, gypsy souls.
There will be baring of souls, documented moments of insanity, the occasional slip with the law and brutal moments with the bathroom scale, and the dreaded story of the lizard that started this journey into blogging madness.
Here's hoping this is a journey without too many bumps and scrapes and capped off nightly with a dose of medicinal booze until stupefied for the night.

  2. Thank you so much ! Luckily my life's path has provided much embarrassment for myself and my loved ones so there will be more confessions...

  3. Strippers, huh?! Yes, I believe I truly have befriended an eclectic couple. Great first confession, look forward to more embarassing family moments!

    Oh, and I totally agree with you about the 100 calorie crispy things.
