My first time. SPT.what's in a name?
to do SPT challenge with Lelly. I really couldn't resist. I'm not sure of all the rules. so i may have it totally wrong. but it's my 1st time so maybe i's ok to get it wrong.
todays she wanted to know
what's in a name? meaning your blog name .
my blog is as explained on my sidebar named "truly delightful in every way!?!"
The title of my blog "truly delightful in every way!?!" is inspired by the Disney Movie "Mary Poppins" You know the part where she measures the kids and tells them what the tape measure says. Then she measures herself "Practically Perfect in Every Way". Well truly delightful in every way, is me. I made it up years ago. It Isn't often true anymore ,but it can be (with the proper medication. ) Ha!
here is the clip. this particular part starts at 1:50 so if you are in a hurry scroll to that part.
i think also it comes from always wondering where i measure up. I'm not the best housekeeper, or the best mom always, or the most fabulous or beautiful but i can be truly delightful. I like to have fun, and i love to laugh. all things that the movie make so appealing. and i know that my blog isn't totally truly delightful, i have my days. my crazy insane cancer days! and my why am i a mom days? and the holy cow i need medication days. and i blog about those too. and i think that is why it is truly delightful in every way. becuase sometimes you can have a bad day or think your house is a mess and come visit my blog and there are pictures of my counter piled high with junk and clutter. or me venting about misbehaving kids. and you know you aren't alone. that other people have bad days too. and on occasion i blog about my love for my family, and how they really are a blessing in my life. and that is good too.and maybe those posts help you realize there are little blessings we take for granted.
so if you were to measure yourself on Mary Poppins tape measure, what does your measurement say?

I want to know where to get a measuring tape like that!--I wonder what Mike's measurement would say....
I'm just saying. (one of those days)
I would measure exactly like Jane: "rather inclined to giggle & doesn't put things away." That's me!
Your blog title is one of my VERY FAVORITES. I just love it. And I love what you had to say in this post, because that is the meaning of life. So what if the counters have junk, if you're delightful to be around and welcoming with your home. :)
And I did a julia-cackle when i read that you CAN be truly delightful, "with the proper medication." Bwwwaaaahahahaha!
Best line ever. Ever.
I love your blog title and wish I was as creative as you. I can't even think of what it would read for me. Hummmmm. I'll think about it and try and get back to you on that one.
Oh--- and yet again... I love your new header!
mine would probaby say "a work in progress" or something like that.
love the new stuff, so cute!!! i am convetting.
I have always loved your blog title. It is interesting to see how people come up with their blog names.
BTW...what does SPT actually stand for? I went on Lelly's site, but for the life of me can't figure it out!
After the last couple of days mine would say LIGHTEN UP!!!
I like the title of your blog...AND I love Mary Poppins!
You are right...you are never alone in your thoughts or worries. That is why we moms and wives have to stick togteher ans support each other!
I found you through SPT, I love the idea behind your blog. I also, love blogging for the simple fact that I have found others who have blessings, struggles, and just plain crazy or boring days and I love to read about it.
I think your blog is "Truly Delightful in Every Way". I too enjoy reading your blog every day and I think it's one of my favorites. Even when I was blog stocking.
I saw this one this morning but what can I say? We're looney! :)
I think you are delightful too - you keep me "real"! Thanks for being yourself and not changing! LOVE that!!
As for me? Um . . . gosh. I guess it would like Michael "Extremely stubborn and suspicious" - ha!
oops. Thats blog stalking not blog stocking. :0
You are soooo delightful.
And I love Mary Poppins.
And I can't say what mine would say the last few days (it's been one of those weeks) so I'll just pass on what mine would say.
Anyhoodles...I finally posted you on Meet My Friend Tuesday.
