Connie's Corner

Steadfastness and constancy...

Well. I'm not creepy anymore now that Halloween is over. I could say I'm coldless, but I don't want to tempt fate. I'm not sure why I have taken to calling myself Connieann. Connie is my nickname, short for Constance, and Ann is my middle name. I have heard people say lots of southern girls have two names, Bobbie Jean, Peggy Sue, Tammy Fay. Maybe this is my subconscious wanting to be southern, except I have combined them.

Which leads me to wonder how Margaret Mitchell came up with Scarlett for her protagonist. She really did have two names, Katie Scarlett, named for her father's mother (in the book). I looked up the meaning of Scarlett and found it to be passionate and strong-willed. Well, that explains it.

I worked in the yard most of today, mowing, edging and trimming, getting ready for my second mole excision on Monday. My appointment is another bright and early one, 8 A.M. At least I'll get that extra hour on Sunday when our clocks "fall back". This one is in a more sensitive area, upper chest, so I don't think I'll feel like muscling yard machines right away.

I can't remember exactly how I found this, http://www.fionarobyn.com/Howtowriteyourwayhome.pdf, but it has been resonating with me since I read it. Take a peek, and maybe you will enjoy it too.

till next time...c
