South Carolina Geography

I'm not sure there is another state where someone could move from the community of "Opossum Kingdom" to one called "Rabbit Stew." But here in good, old SC it has been done. Any other good town names y'all know of?

Here are some good ones:

North, SC

Pumpkintown, SC (good to sub in the song "Funkytown")

and as a Hoosier, here are some from there:

Buddah, IN (unincorporated outside of Bedford. Probably not any Buddhists there, but I digress)

Needmore, IN -- which is only funny because of the school there called "Needmore School" I'm not kidding.

and then all of the towns/schools with French spelling, which we Hoosiers like to mispronounce (why add the extra letters if you aren't going to say them?):

La Fontaine (la fountain)
Versailles (ver-SAILS)
Terre Haute (terra hote)
Notre Dame (Noter Dame)

Due West and Six-Mile are two of my favorites.

Along Annie's line: there's a town in Virginia called Buena Vista-- yes, pronounced "Byoo-nah Vista".

A couple of my favorites here in Arkansas are Rooster's Poot and Toad Suck.

Only in the south ...

We've got some winning names up here in PA - Intercourse, Bareville and Blue Ball come to mind immediately - all in very conservative Amish country!

Thanks for your visit to my blog. A little extra running encouragement definitely helps. :)

Oh, girl. I live in Alabama. There are plenty of good names.
Slapout, AL (because it's "slap out in the middle of nowhere" - yes, I'm serious)
Palmer, AL and Remlap, AL - which were founded by brothers. Remlap is Palmer backwards.
Pineapple, AL
Florala, AL (on the Florida-Alabama border. Original, huh?)
Waterloo, AL (like Napoleon)
The list can go on and on.

I've been watching in amazement for a few days as the links over here keep growing and growing with people who are hosting giveaways. The last time around I didn't participate, but now that things are slightly more settled in my somewhat crazy but wonderful job I thought I'd make an offering. The softies I make don't quite compare to amazing things you might see here or here , but I still think they are pretty cute. All those who leave comments will be entered to win the homemade softie of their choice, either an owl : (You can pick the colors you'd like, from a list of colors I have.) Or a penguin : Who will come with sunglasses, goggles, and a winter hat. (Because every good penguin should be prepared.) You can also pick (from a limited list) colors for the penguin's hat and glasses. I'll hold the drawing on Monday, since I'll be on call on Sunday, and the post the winner on Tuesday. Feel free to leave in your comment any favorite crafty blogs - ...

I am an awesome mom.

I won a new prize in the awesome mom category today. I have for some time been adding up points for all the ways that I am a good mom. Cut his tiny hand on his fourth day of life when I was cutting off the hospital band: check (He still has the scar!) Found rocks from our fireplace in his mouth: check Set down a knife on the table within his reach: check Turned around and found him holding said knife: double check Found leaves in his mouth: check, check and check Found him holding my razor, which I set down on the tub while he was in the bathroom: check Today, though, I set a new record. I locked Judah in the car. With all the windows up. See? Awesome mom, right here. It was a total fluke thing where I was tossing the keys onto the front seat as I was getting out and about to get Judah out. As I closed my door, the keys fell off the seat and into the shutting door, which closed on the lock button on our remote. And just like that, in a split second, Judah was locked in. ...

First, about 8 weeks ago, we saw this.... Then this: A little bit later there was this: And this: And Last week it was this: I'm now 13 weeks along, due in late March. We feel incredibly blessed, and of course, are very, very excited. (Working at a doctor's office and knowing how to do ultrasounds definitely comes in handy when you want to see your baby... And yes, I have been doing my own ultrasounds. It's a bit awkward, but I'm getting better.)
