Contest!

Wow. You guys are just fucking awesome! I feel really excited and challenged. I'm starting to put together some research for an entry tomorrow, but today we have another order of business.

If I'm really going to do this--try to professionalize this blog a bit and challenge myself to write more topical things--then one last little thing has to change.

The blog name.

I've been told that my blog has a great name. But, funny enough, that name--you know, "...and I Wasted All That Birth Control"--came out of my, well, ass. I was signing up for my Typepad account, and I didn't put one second of thought into it. Not one. I actually thought that I would change it again (that's why the blog address is the much more generic "zia.blogs.com"). It seemed like all the good infertility blog names were taken already, and I just typed in "and I wasted all that birth control" as a filler. I never intended it to be the name of this blog for four years.

So.

Since infertility is no longer the primary focus of this blog (not that I'll stop talking about it--you know it will still come up), I figure it should no longer be the major focus of the title either.

I've recently registered the domain name www.mscecily.com, and you'll see that it points you right to this blog when you type it in. But I don't really want that to be the name of the blog. I want something better, something that will perfectly capture the foul-mouthed, liberal, feminist, fat, alcoholic, ranting mother, wife, woman and writer that I am.

I'm drawing a complete blank. Luckily, you are all completely brilliant. So! I'm proposing that you send me your suggestions. I'll pick my favorite five, then you can vote on them and the winner will be the new title of my blog!

Prizes will be decided later (I promise they won't suck). Ok? Let the naming begin!

PS: If you are all thinking that this little contest is just an attempt to trick you into not being pissed off about the name change, you are totally right. Heh.
