Friends or Therapy



 Isn't this the cutest?  It is a tribute to my brother in the Air Force.  I hope your training goes well and that you are healthy enough to handle whatever they throw at you.  But now, to the reason for this post.
 I am not allowed out of the house anymore.  I make really dumb decisions when I am manic.  Anyway, I love my friends.  We got together to make card on Monday and many of my therapy issues were resolved.  I highly recommend friends if therapy is too expensive.  They listen to your problems and love you anyway.  Plus, I was able to get advice and help on a really cute card to give to someone for Valentine's Day.  You don't get the craft after therapy, either.  
We talked about more than just my problems--my friend needs a name for her second child, a girl.  She and her husband do not like the same names.  Help  a reader out:  Do you have any suggestions for her? They have a lot of family and they do not want a name that mean bitter or night demon.  Their choices are limited.  Why does it have to be so hard to choose the perfect name for you baby?  Every parent agonizes over this decision for months.  After the final decision is made then comes the real criticism, family and friends.  Everyone has to comment and give their opinion.  Hmm, so yes, my friend needs help.

  2. Bitter or night demon? I don't understand.
    They should try babynames.com and read through thousands of names...it's fun, right? Men can be stubborn, but if she works on changing her husband's mind by bribery or extra lovin' then I'll bet her names will win out and he'll be pacified.

  3. I don't even dare offer names to someone I don't know just in case we are in way different camps. It is a very tricky negotiatian process that involves lots of back history as well. Hub and I go through lists and lists and gradually eliminate names until we're left with a name we both didn't rule out. I also know to NEVER comment on someone's choice of name once it's been decided on. That's also why we didn't share our name choices with people cuz we didn't want their opinions. Sigh...such a big deal, isn't it?
    Good for you to do crafts and therapy in one session. And love the picture too.

  4. I am not much help on names the only one I have in mind are for my own someday, selfish but true :) We kept Leta's name a secret for the very fact that we where tired of peoples opinions as well.
    Glad you where able to work through your problems! Life is easier that way :)
