Back in May and June, before the Wee One was born, I decided that there was not enough action on my LiveJournal friends page. So I added a few new friends, but more importantly, I resolved to blog every single day. Surely my insightful and witty posts would inspire my friends to comment, and post themselves, so when I checked LJ compulsively every hour, there would be new stuff to read. All good!
Now I find there is a contest for the month of November, inspired by NaNoWritMo. It’s National Blog Posting Month — NaBloPoMo. All you have to do is register, then blog every single day for the month of November — weekends too! — and then you qualify for fabulous giveaways.
I figure I’ll do it. Hm…I wonder if you have to be American to win the prizes. No matter, I’ll still do it for fun.
In other blogging news, I’ve been thinking of renaming my blog. Apparently TurtleHead, an old family term for someone who is groggy from sleeping in too late, has been co-opted by the Internet to mean something involving poop. Sigh. Is nothing sacred anymore?
If I do NaBloPoMo, I really don’t want to be known over there as the Poop Lady. Would you all follow me if I changed names?
TurtleHead 
Ya, I knew that when you chose your handle, but I can’t remember if I told you or not.
Of course we’ll follow you! Just let us know when the change happens…
I’d follow you even if you did change your handle to PoopLady.
I don’t think the poop meaning is in common use. I wouldn’t worry too much.
I’m surprised to find that pooplady isn’t taken yet. I’m not sure that I’m advocating it as a better home for your blog, I’m just surprised. I would have thought that any two words from the English laungage, concatenated together, formed a valid blog.
I didn’t think so either…I had definitely never heard it until I’d had my blog for a couple of years. But several people now have pointed it out to me, and now I can’t help but wonder what other people might think of me when they find/read my blog. It bothers me enough — what impression I might be giving the world — that I’m thinking about changing.
I’m quite attached to my little turtle icon though, so we’ll see.
Have you seen the second Austin Powers movie? It’s the biggest pop culture reference to your name I can think of.
Fat Bastard says he’s got a turtle head poking out.
I honestly thought that was the source of your handle. You mentioned it was a childhood thing, so I just assumed you once had an…issue…and your siblings never let you live it down. It’s what mine would’ve done.
In a way, I’m a little disappointed now.
