My blog has a name! Thank you so much for the votes. That was a lot of fun! The race was close but in the end Progressive Perfection was the favorite. I'm glad because it was my favorite too.
Perfection is impossible. It's a state of being that we stress about daily. "Everything has to be perfect." "I just want to be perfect." Well if there was such a thing as perfect then why would we need erasers, backspace, or undo feature? If you read the bible you are aware that nothing is perfect except God. In fact most of the world's beauty lies in the imperfections. When you think about who you are and the fact that God is perfect then you realize that how you are is no mistake. We don't have to strive to be perfect but we can continue to actively work on reaching the perfection horizon. We will never be perfect but as long as we are working towards being the best ME we can be then the progress will speak for itself.

What should we call me? Help me narrow down a name for this blog.It will be fun. And give me a chance to use the cool polling feature on this site. I've narrowed down a few of the names I've brainstormed. Although I do have a favorite, I'm stuck on which will appropriately fit the needs of this blog. My original Autobiographical play is titled Model Perfection, so I wanted to keep the name similar as a clear and easy reference. Thanks for your help. I’ve been a bit blocked lately. Two weeks ago Romney announced his running mate as Paul Ryan then Todd Akin made asinine claims of “legitimate” rape, and the topic burning a hole through my mind was women’s health care. Then I got extremely disturbing news that my sorority sister was the victim of a fatal car accident. Her death is all I could think about for days. On August 18th Krissy Dix left this physical world to be in a better place where she will remain in the hearts of so many people who knew and loved her. Memories of Krissy and the meaning of life were constantly going through my mind but I hesitated on writing. I didn’t want to journal about it and I definitely didn’t want to blog for the sake of keeping Krissy’s memory sacred. The memorial viewing for Krissy was this past Saturday and members of Kappa Beta Sigma arrived in car loads to celebrate Krissy’s life. Some sisters I haven’t seen since they graduated before me and other’s I’ve never met in person. It was unfortunate to get so many sisters in one place under the circumstances; however the fact that so many members came together for the collective of sisterhood put my mind at ease about losing a friend. I came across an essay that I wrote in 2008 about my reasoning for joining Kappa Beta Sigma. Originally a class assignment for my essay writing graduate class, I’ve revised it, published as a PDF, and would like to share it with you. On Saturday I was pulled back into the feelings that I had almost forgotten. I hope Krissy felt the love as well. We will miss her.
*** I have archived this post because I don't want this blog to be about my rants and I don't want my writings to come across as insensitive in any way. I wrote about people having more than one baby shower if their children are close in age. My thought process on the subject was more about my opinions about waste and consumerism than it was about parenthood and child birth. Honestly I believe the former grouping is a result of the latter grouping but my previous post focused mainly on the latter. I'm not a parent so I felt that my opinion wouldn't have been read well. I have lots of friends who are and I don't plan on offending parents just because I have a problem with over-spending and products that loose value and usefulness. I'll try to construct more cautiously next time.
