My mom called in a tizzy one day. Folks at home didn't know what to do about my name. I remembered recording the gifts my brother and sister-in-law received because I made many snide comments about each gift having been monogrammed. Apparently karma was about to hit because my mom needed to know what initials we'd have, since his last name is a double last name.
Tradition is to have one letter, because tradition is to have one last name, as the center of the first and middle name initials. So I then had to have a discussion with my future husband. Do we cut out your mom's last name or your dad's last name for the sake of our monogram?
We voted and I added a note to our website. But I guess folks thought since we were progressive enough to legally keep both his parent's last names as our name, they then had questions about my middle name.
Will I keep my middle name? Or will my maiden name become my middle name?

The Ride Stops Here Reality TV
Reality stars I fear your light is fading. You all have the same drama, the same tears, the same arrogance, and the same metaphor. "Oh what a ride this is," "It's just been a roller coaster of emotions," "It's a constant up and down ride." In the South, we're known for colloquialisms that no one ever really uses. Here are some ideas to express the tumult you experience during these tragic, overexpensed free rides to fame you get.
1) I felt like a frog romping blindly in the pond. Some days there's a lilly pad waiting for me, some days there's not.
2) It's like being a bullet zipping through the open landscape of the plantation until you run smack dab into a willow tree.
3) It's like having a mason jar full of rich molasses. You don't know when it will be savory or when it will stick you and hold you down.
4) I never imagined I'd feel like any day someone could pull a wood slat out from under my bed frame.
5) It was like being tea sat out on the front porch under the sweltering sun until I was pulled in and sweetened.
6) It was like being a crawdad resting lazily in a stream. You never knew whether you'd be free or have your brains sucked out when some kid lifted the rock.
7) This experience was as altering as the hemline on Blanche Devereaux's skirts.
