So I wanted to create a blog to post my thoughts. A place where my peeps could reply (perhaps without fear of my response). But to title a blog is no easy thing. To take everything that I am and wrap it up into one sentence, well…I couldn’t do that in an entire book. So there I was faced with a conundrum. Nutty Bubbles and Tadpoles arrived from a strange train of thoughts. And no it’s not sexual. I do like nuts. Stop itttt. I mean I like pistachios and almonds and peanuts (of which my mother told the public when I was growing up, that I was terribly allergic to, so she could get attention, and then no one babysitting me would ever let me have a PB&J along with the other kids….totally cruel). And while I was at it, I started thinking of childhood and that’s where the bubbles and tadpoles came from. I never once challenged the idea that my site sounded a bit like a porn ring. It was following the discussion of my blog with many others that I realized; this may not be such a good name for a blog. Especially after my Aunt Jill pulled a kind of grossed out face and said slowly and almost in a whisper…”huh…..cute”. That’s when I realized “they think I am running a full blown porn site in which I must be the star”. Now I am hot, but please…morals people. Besides although I am star quality, I am not SUPER star quality. If I were a movie star, I wouldn’t be a Bette Midler or Julia Roberts, no, I would be the kind of star that you really like, but soon forget about after you have seen the movie, like Diane Keaton or that one lady from Grease (No, Not Olivia). So anyways, I need a new name. One that describes me and doesn’t lead people to believe that I am running online colorful activities. So you guys know me, if you were to name a blog given what you know about me, what would you call it?

So I think that I have one of the dirtier minds of my friends and I never once thought the title of your blog sounded dirty. Which goes to show those who supposedly have clean minds (Aunt Jill) are really just repressed so everything sounds dirty.
I like the title of your blog and do not think you should change it!
On many occasions have been tempted to ask you what the heck it meant, but liked that it had this wacky, mysterious thing going on. It was silly nonsense and I wanted to keep it that way. And it is fun to say.
Really? Well thank you, it is sorta wacky. I cant imagine (even with some repression) that Aunt Jill's mind is anything but sparkly clean. And its possible that her mind didnt go there at all. Perhaps she was just trying to wrap around the wackiness of it all. I dont know. But I told a co-worker recently to google my blog and he said "no, that just sounds scary, like I might run into something bad", and this guy is sparkly too. I dont know. But your suggestion is duly noted!
I'm in the same boat as Beth or should I say gutter. Usually we go rolling along with the best of them but I NEVER thought of Nutty Bubbles and Tadpoles as dirty. I felt the name was whimsical. I think you should leave it.
