Sorry for the late start, guys. This whole late-pregnancy thing is really wreaking havoc on my schedule. Can’t sleep till 2AM…can’t get up till 10AM, at which point the starving cats march into my bedroom and literally pull my ass out of bed with their paws. You’d think with that kind of talent, they could make their own damn breakfast, but alas… Then I went to Starbucks, where I made the mistake of being nice to a homeless man who, in turn, wouldn’t stop talking to me and trying to come up with a name for my baby. Apparently, I should use a name that’s a cross between mine — Candy — and my mom’s — Joyce. I suppose that would be Jody. Or… Canjo? YES! CANJO KIRBY! (Note to other Baby Mamas: Don’t even THINK of using that gorgeous name. It’s mine. All mine!)

As for a combination of Candance and Joyce, I think JoyDance would be nice

That *would* be lovely! But alas… my name is “Candace,” not “Candance.” (More like CANTdance.)

Oh, I’m sorry… My bad.
I’ve been reading your blogs for three years and it appears I don’t even really know your name. (Not to mention, I suck at spelling…)
June 27th, 2009 at 12:44 am -Candy
says:
No worries! You’re not the first to spell it like that, and I’m sure you won’t be the last. That’s why I go by Candy — much, much easier. And funnier-sounding.
