WvNan, my name's Nancy too! I like everything about my name except one thing: it's misleading. "Nancy" I always think of as someone who is demure and smeet. I'm sweet, if at all, in a more tomboy/firebrand way. Hmm, I think I should be more of a "Billie."

Inappropriate names can be fun. I named my 20-pound cat "kitty" with ironic humor. Even as a kitty, she behaved like an adult male tiger. So it was always a bit of a joke. Now she's a huge and aggressive thing. So just calling her "kitty" is funny.

Cats are great. All they want for Christmas are empty paper bags and those plastic twist-off things.

Well, hi Nancy. How about that? I'm an incurable tomboy too. I was the child who followed my Dad and Grandad around all day bugging them with a milion questions about whatever it was they were doing. I learned how to do boy stuff. Carpentry, plowing, planting etc. I played with my brothers instead of my sisters. I could outrun, outclimb and outspit them all. Guess that's why I never have been much good with the Martha Stewart stuff.

Hmmm, Nan, I think she just implied I wasn't sweet! LOL! That I'm a tomboy/firebrand! (Talk yourself out of this one, Free! LOL)
