    Okay. You guys have a mission.

    I need a name for my main character. I'm writing a novel (only about 1 1/2 chapters in over the last 6 months or so) but I cannot for the life of me decide on my characters name.

    She's female, lonely but fairly successful, 23, dark hair, green eyes, tall, owns a record store in Uptown Minneapolis (to elaborate, the "different" area of town. Not quite downtown, not a rich area, close neighborhoods, old stores and restaurants, lots of locally owned businesses, the "goth" "punk" "indie" hangout), a little edgy, but not to the extreme. She's loves all music, somewhat reserved. Rebeling from her parents (who are lawyers) kind of life.

    Let me know any ideas that you guys have!!! I already have two female subcharacters named Carie (Car-ie) and Jenny.

    What do you guys think about... (here's my brainstorming session)

    Charlotte (No, too Good Charlotte)
    Eliza (too Buffy the Vampire Slayer)
    Melissa (Um... too girly)
    Jane (my mom's name)
    Nicole (too girly)
    Nancy (Too Nancy Drew, which I've never read)
    Linda (Nah)
    Sarah (too common, No offense, love!!)
    Dana (Had a manager named Dana, couldn't stand her)
    Davenie (Dave-anie, like in the Notebook)
    Elizabeth (Kinda like it, but no good nicknames)
    Mary (too old school, though, I might like that)
    Melodie (too whimsical)
    Davina (AKA Davie)


    Bah, I dunno

    Nicknames for Elizabeth:

    Beth, Eliza, Liz, Lizzy, Libby, I could go on.

    Don't use any names from The Notebook. It's a very popular book/movie.

    Time for me to go to bed.

    Penelope.

    Morning all!

    I have decided that I am going back to basics and weighing and measuring everything. I am going to try for no candy or cookies until Madison's birthday. I think if I can stay away from at least those two I can make it. See positive right!

    Have a great day!

    Going to the gym with 'marathon gym friend' I am sure I will work off 600+ calories.

    I burned 385 yesterday and said pffft when I looked at the HRM.

    PFFFT...........who the hell do I think I am??? Seriously, when I started last June it took me 5 minutes to lift myself from my bed, I could walk to the end of the street and back, and was lucky to burn 200 calories motoring slowly on the ellip.

    So now a BAD day is almost 400!!

    I think that is the problem with my plateau. I am eating right but must move into a higher workout realm, which I am loath to enter.

    Women (and andrew)with 9 kids running 5k races, ppl with only 3 beans to eat doing P90x and running 2.5 miles, girls in bikinis.................dang..............how can I compete with that???!!!

    I must follow my 'Sisters in Health'(and Andrew) and kick up this routine. Make a commitment to myself, and not break it. If I promised one of you I would do something, I would make SURE I did, because I hate to break promises. So I am promising myself today that I will make a sched and stick to it.

    I have walking, wogging, gym membership, Slim in 6, Power 90, Walk Away the Pounds, and even Dancing with the Oldies with our favorite Richard Simmons.

    No excuses ladies............I just need to get my butt moving!!

    Thank you for all your support, you are a great group of humans!!
