What's in a name

Yesterday I placed an add on Craig's list to see if we could get anyone to pick up all our moving boxes. These boxes, you see, were now flattened and in a pile in our front room and had become a nuisance to my husband. It was the first thing you saw when walking in the front door. Not quite the feng shui we were going for.

The response from my posting to Craig's list was amazing! I think I got 15 emails within 2 hours asking if the boxes were still available. Wow! So once the boxes had been picked up I did what any polite craigslister would do. I removed my posting and responded to all the emails that the boxes had been picked up. This morning I got a response from a craigslister:

No problem. By the way, if your name really is Paige Turner, I think that's awesome! :)

I was tickled by this enthusiastic response to my name, and wanted to share!
It is fun to be Paige Turner!

People always enjoy hearing your name and have cute comments about it.
Its sure a better name than the one you wanted to change your first name to in third grade. All of you in Turner blogland should ask Paige about it.

I think my sweet mother is referring to the time that I wanted to change my name to Chili (I was a fan of TLC) because I thought I would get teased less. Third graders are relentless! Every day on the playground I heard turn the page"..."what page are you on"... Little did I realize that changing my name to Chili would not bring the relief I was hoping for.

Can't wait for the birth announcement for your firstborn daughter, baby Chili Turner.

Man, I must be dumb as a rock!!! I never made the connection! "Paige Turner" - that is cool!!! "Chili" is cool, too, Paige.
