The Perfect Adjective

So, I have a lot of catching up to do (may be famous last words in a blog), but before telling you about our wonderful first two weeks in Washington, I just had share:

I am still trying to rename my blog. Really. Mom of One is just too bare and unsuggestive, obviously. (Adding obviously to a statement: a sure sign of fear of having nothing to say.)

The latest tactic, you will not be surprised to hear (another hedge), was searching through Bob Dylan lyrics for the right fragment. You know, like Mom of One: Blowing in the Wind. (No, no, not really.) Or maybe, Mom of One: Blood on the Tracks. Nah.

I did paste this lyric into my onliine sticky note collection: "I know it looks like I'm moving, but I'm standing still." There is something to that. But it's really more like, "We step and do not step into the same river twice." Do I want a tag by Dylan or Hericlitus?

Setting aside this approach, I decided to try MadLibs:
Mom of One.
Warming up:
Happy Mom of One
Not-so-happy Mom of One
Zippy Mom of One
Less-than-Zippy Mom of One
Always-has-a-headache Mom of One
Maniacal Mom of One
Semi-Maniacal Mom of One
Semi-Upright Mom of One

You see the contrasting pattern. It's kind of fun to play with.
Fragrant Mom of One
Malodorous Mom of One
Classical Mom of One
Modern Mom of One
Post-Modern Mom of One (over used, darn)

Or how about slangy adjectives:
Gosh-darned Mom of One
Bad Assssed Mom of One
Righteous Mom of One
Oh dear, X is still asleep so I can't collect more contemporary adjectives. I sounds like I am caught between Hee-haw and some film with a Curtis Mayfield soundtrack.

Culinary adjectives?
Saucy Mom of One
Pickled Mom of One
Salty Mom of One
Braised Mom of One
Sugar Coated Mom of One (maybe that is more of a medical term)

and more, with a leading S,
Sub-optimal Mom of One. (Nah, I am not that bad. How about Semi-sub-optimal Mom of One?)
Subterranean Mom of One. (I am in the basement right now, must be an influence. Or that Dylan stuff again.)
Starry Mom of One (Not really.)
Spooky Mom of One (ask X.)
Scintillating Mom of One ( I wish.)
Senior Mom of One (Not yet, but comparatively, I suppose.)
Sorry Mom of One (Often.)


Having dug myself in, I'm leaving it here.
