All quiet on the home front due to a wicked storm called a dereche, which is also known as a land hurricane. No electricity, internet or television.
Until I catch up, I’m trying to decide if I want to keep blogging as “WVGurl.” I don’t think I ever posted how or why I started using that. Way back in the 90′s, I created a Yahoo email account to keep in touch with college friends over the summer. “WVGirl” was taken, so I tried with the “u” and got it. I’ve used that handle ever since.
A lot has changed in 16 years. I’m married and have 2 kids. And for some reason, birthday number 34 makes me feel old. Well, at least older. So I’m wondering if “WVGurl” is still appropriate and/or pertinent.
Several years ago, I snagged “Mountain Momma” on WordPress. Dunno why, but I always wanted that in my back pocket. So I’m considering a change…. what do you think?
Mountain Momma sounds more rugged. Makes me think of someone on her porch with a rifle. That’s likely just in my head, but that’s my first reaction. I guess since I still use OTRgirl, the ‘girl’ doesn’t bother me, but I can see how you might want to evolve to a different name.
