. . . a winner? and another giveaway? why not?

chup and i were really struggling with naming the chief
and i wrote about it on my c jane blog one day.

incidentally, i liked the name roman,
but roman kendrick
sounds too much like roman catholic
which is fine,
but we're mormon.

so, in the comment section of my previously-mentioned post
a certain someone named jenny
revealed a large list of unusual names
her sister had gathered from being a school teacher
in rural idaho.

unbeknown to me,
chup read the jenny's suggestions
and wrote down a couple names he liked
miraculously, one of the names
from that very list
became the first one we could agree on.

and it stuck.
jenny helped us name the chief
and i've never been able to thank her for that.

imagine my surprise to see the very same jenny
pop back up in the comments
of this post too.

jenny, we are indebted to you
(to say the least)
you win this sweet album
(like angels in your stereo).

(and while you are at it,
will you email me
so i can thank you personally?)


and thanks to jennifer for the album contribution!


i had such a delightful time
reading all the names suggested
i thought why stop here?
why stop now?
let's do another giveaway!

indulge me, let's do girls names now.

winner gets this:


anchors away
from shabby apple
everyone's favorite online dress shop

according to me:
shabby apple has the best
selection of smartly-designed
whimsical, fun, flirty
modestly-minded
dresses anywhere.

worth your money.

but, someone won't have to pay money
cause i am all about giving this one away
for free.

who wants it?
