Two BIG Questions!!

I've been doing a lot of thinking lately, the central theme of which is the direction and growth of this blog.

Blogging has brought me such joy and sense of purpose, I can't even explain it.  I have met amazing, talented and wonderful people who I adore and am inspired by on a daily basis.

But I find that this little old blog of mine has evolved into something far different from what I had originally intended a year ago.

I started this thing in an attempt to record the stupid, silly, clumsy happenings of my life and the stories surrounding them.  Because there's a lot of them.  Like, a lot a lot.  And I felt that my title reflected that.

Now I'm blogging about food, mostly, with random thoughts and little domestic tidbits thrown in there from time to time.  I would like to expand into a home and garden section if, you know, I ever stop killing the things I plant (although my basil and parsley finally look like they're growing actual leaves and not just sprouts! I cannot tell you the joy I felt!!).  Those are the sorts of blogs I connect most to, and the kind of blog I want to have.  Of course humor will always be a part of it because, well, life is funny.

Anyway, I'm sitting here breaking my brain over this.  Agonizing, really, over the idea of starting a NEW blog with all the old material in place but one which would allow me to go in the direction I want to go.  Away from misadventures and on to...other adventures.  "Misadventures", when my blog focuses mostly on cooking, makes it sound like I burn everything.  That's just my opinion.

I finally texted my best friend, aka my husband, aka Rob and asked him: "Who are my readers? Why do they read?".  His answer? "Ask them".

And the heavens opened and God said "DUH!".

Then he added, "Have a blog naming contest".

I won't tell you the verbatim reply to that one.  Let's just say it inspired me and leave it at that.

So that's what I'm doing.  I'm leaving it up to you...for the most part.  I want to know what your ideas are and we'll see if any of them ring my bell! And I'll have a special, as-yet-undecided gift for the reader whose idea comes closest to the one I have in mind.  I think it should be a personalized gift, so it depends on the reader.

My question is therefore twofold, and will be open for the next two weeks:
1) Who are you, friend? What is important to you? Do you feel that there are people like you, sweet reader, who would also enjoy what I have to offer?

2) When I rename and reconfigure my blog, which I will be doing, what should the title be? I have several ideas floating around in my head already but am open to suggestions! Who do YOU think I am? How does that translate into a name of a blog?

Now I am trusting you folks with my life! Okay.  Maybe not that serious.  But definitely with my blog which, as my husband will tell you, has become a pretty big part of my life.

Thanks in advance for your feedback, friends - and thanks, always, for reading!
