I just need to put this out there - it was really hard to come up with a blogger address. Much harder than I thought. Maybe it's because most of the good ones were taken. It honestly took me hours. The whole experience left me feeling pretty self absorbed and frustrated. Patience is definitely not my strong suit.
Steve and the girls had all sorts of opinions and here are some of the ones thrown into the mix:
Carrie's corner
At the end of the day
Carrie Chat

all that matters
I was thinking along the lines of "sharing my journey" or "writing my story" or " finding my voice" or something like that. Most of the ones I tried were taken and the ones that I came up with that were not taken, just sounded cheezy. I also didn't want a title that was too serious - because some days I might write about stuff that is kind of random and/or light.
In the end, it was Grace who said I should throw the word "coffee" into the name. The more I thought about it, I liked it. It was simple and light and not too cheezy (I hope!). It kind or resonated with me because my idea in starting this blog was that one morning a week (typically on Fridays), I would sit down with a cup of coffee and write. So, in the end I decided to go with "coffeeandcarrie". It was also 11 p.m. and I just wanted to get to bed. Either way, the name is done and I'm commiting to weekly coffee and writing. I can't promise that it will be profound, but I can promise to keep it real. So, thanks for joining me as I continue on this journey and as I stumble forward.
