So not that anyone reads this or whatever but if someone is you will have not failed to notice that I changed the name! woo!
Whenever I decided to finally break down and get me wanna these things I had the hardest time coming up with a name. Heaven forbid I ever have to name a child. The original name was "An Admiral Thing" which was a double meaning. On the one hand it was part of a quote from my favorite book (Les Mis) but also I chose it because I had always talked bad about people who felt the need to make blogs and it was kind of my homage to my bravery in eating crow ha ha. I wasn't really that sold on the name but I just decided "eh heck with it that will do". Then about a month ago I was reading a cook book (I know I know its strange but I like it OK don't judge me) and the title just was so cool and catchy and it was called "The Lady Had Seconds" (please control your shocked faces) And I just couldn't get it out of my head which lead me to start thinking about the meaning behind it.
I hate being put in a box or labeled more then anything else in this world. This has led to me being told on multiple occasions by just about everyone "I wish you would be a little more lady like". Grr. I think thats absolutely ridiculous because in my opinion I am very ladylike! "being a lady" means different things to me I guess. By my definition, a lady is a women who has passion. Someone who knows who she is and what she wants and how to get it regardless of the opinions of the world or its meaningless trends, fads and fashions. The thought of limiting the definition of a lady by such frivolous gender and social rolls to mean nothing more then crossing your ankles, saying please and thank you and never letting the skin above her knees show utterly baffles me. Thats, I think, why I fell in love with the title. Lady's aren't supposed to have anything more then a filling salad let alone seconds! But you know what, my kind of lady doesn't just have seconds she has deserts too!
Honestly thats what this blog is supposed to be too. An unapologetic view of my life and opinions. So yeah.... eat up!
I love the name...although I think it could be looked at a different way. Not just having a second helping of food. What if it was the lady had seconds...to save the world, to make her life changing decision, to decide cheese or no cheese, etc. I think those other options describe your blog very well...because most decisions are on the fly!
