My First Post (!)



Ok, I'm officially a blogger! (Gretchen, are you beaming with pride?) Well, I officially have a blog, anyway. Sadly, the only family picture I could find was our Christmas picture from last year. We'll have to work on that!
Part of the reason it has taken me so long to join the growing trend of bloggers, is that I can't think of a good blog title. If you have any suggestions, please post them!

welcome to the blogging world! when i read your post, i thought mabye manda had just spelled her name "mandy" by accident! it was good to see when i clicked on your link to find you all have a blog now. sorry, i'm not very creatvie to come up with any suggestions for the title.

i hope maddie is feeling better and it doesn't spread through your family!

Gretchen said...

YEEEAAAAAAAaaa!!!! I am indeed beaming with pride!!!!! And I have that picture of you guys on my fridge still! Yes, even after the move. :)

Man, I wish I were talking to you in person about the blog, so I could make fun of other people's cheesy blog names, but I run the risk that they will read what I say. :) HEE HEE! I will now try to think of a very fun/creative/funky title for your blog. Don't worry, we'll think of something.

For the time being, it is kind of halarious that you named your blog "Temporary title". I laughed out loud at that! :)

Finally! So you all know, I just about had to twist her arm to get a blog. I'm looking forward to hearing all the funny/smart alec comments Maddie makes.
Gretchen, would you by any chance be talking about my blogs cheesy name? :p Btw, if at any time any of you think of a better name for mine let me know.

Gretchen said...

Heh, heh, heh, I totally said that so everyone would wonder "is it me that has the cheesy blog name??"

No, Johanna. I think yours is cool. To me, simple is better.

Mandy: How about "Maddie Madness"? or "The Marvelous Moves of Maddie"? Hee hee. . . I know you want your blog to be totally child-centered. :)
Other options: "Hanging with the Coopers" "The Coolness of the Coopers" "Greg+Mandy=Luv" HA HA HA!
How about "Fitness and Faith: the Life of Mandy" wait, that sounds like an biography title.

Did you notice that your post says "Ok, I'm officially a booger!"? I think you meant "blogger". Just kidding! Personally, I do worry about making such a mistake though.

You and Greg were so much help and gave us so much encouragement in our last few days in Illinois. Thank you. It's a blessing to have such good and supportive friends.

PS: You should do a post asking your readers for suggestions for a name for your blog.

Hey, I didn't know Maddie was sick! I missed you at the Y on Friday, and I am skipping today. I am glad you have a blog now. Check out my blog and copy and past the abc's because I am "tagging" you too!

Mandy said...

Megan - thanks Maddie still has an endless stream of snot and coughing, but is well in spirit!

Gret - I rather like 'Maddie Madness' although, I don't want it to be centered on her, but lets face it she is probably the most entertaining one in the house

Josh - I totally freaked out for a minute...booger...ha

Sand - We slept in Fri. and got there right after you left. I did run 5m! I so wanted to go to class today, alas sick child. Wednesday!

Stephanie said...

Hey Mandy!
How fun to have you in the blogging world. I made fun of blogging for so long- I kept saying "Why would you want to write a public diary" But now I am totally addicted!
We worked through the coughing and snot last week - isn't it fun?!
Good luck with the title - Gret has me all worried now that I'm one of the cheesy ones!:) Tee hee

Gretchen said...

Okay, new inspiration: have you ever seen the movie: Thoroughly Modern Millie? It is a really cute musical with Julie Andrews set in the 1920's with lots of fun songs and dancing. It is a big Broadway fave. You should make your blog "Thoroughly Modern Mandy"!!! I think that is CUTE! And it sort of rolls.

I guess you could make it Thoroughly Modern Maddie if you wanted. And yes, though she IS very entertaining, I myself am quite entertained by you and Greg, too. I don't think that it is dumb to name your blog after yourself. I did.

Hee hee hee. . . Steph. . .

Unknown said...

Yeah!!!! I'm excited you've joined the club! Welcome to the world of blogging! I'm no help with your blogger title, I had to have Steph come up with mine!

Gret - I can't believe I've never seen that movie, since it has Julie andrews, and is a musical! That would be a really cute title...especially if I liked the movie...

Josh - SO funny! Seriously, laughing out loud to myself...over pretty much every suggestion...would it be too long if I used them all?
