      <title>Naming</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;I&amp;#8217;m getting a new doll!  She is an &lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/groups/blythe_angelicaeve/pool/"&gt;Angelica Eve&lt;/a&gt;.  I haven&amp;#8217;t decided on a name yet.  The &lt;a href="http://www.sandiferclassroom.com/blog/?p=68"&gt;baptisimal moment&lt;/a&gt;, both necessary and a priori according to Kripke, is almost as exciting as getting the doll itself.  Some programmers say that they can&amp;#8217;t start work on a project until they give it an agreeable name.  There&amp;#8217;s something about naming that I enjoy.  Naming, in and of itself, isn&amp;#8217;t about discovery, like Kripke&amp;#8217;s intuitions show, rather naming is like putting a hook or a piece of Velcro on an object, so that the object can be referenced.  I guess naming satisfies my need to organize and tiddy things, albeit word things.  Anyways, enough about naming&amp;#8230; I want to name her something with two names and more than 4 syllables.&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;I went to Inman Perk this weekend with Linda.  We got a ton of great advice from Christy Petterson of &lt;a href="http://www.ice-atlanta.com/"&gt;&lt;span class="caps"&gt;ICE&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; regarding putting on a large event.  Maybe one day we will get to return the favor or pay the favor forward.&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;Here are our girls chillin&amp;#8217; literally outside in the snow.&lt;/p&gt;

	&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://adventuresofmolli.blogspot.com/"&gt;Linda&lt;/a&gt; took the following beautiful photo.  I am holding the top of Blanches head like a place kicker &amp;#8211; that&amp;#8217;s what Linda says.  So, if you haven&amp;#8217;t tried this method for photographing your doll, make sure to try Linda&amp;#8217;s &lt;em&gt;place kicker method&lt;/em&gt;!  Ah, yet another name is given. :-)&lt;/p&gt;

      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;OOOOOWEEEEEEN&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;He he he he!  Congrats on the new girl.  Can&amp;#8217;t wait to see pictures of her.  Or, better yet, see her in person sometime.&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;After all, we really should do a double date night with the guys.  Who could argue with dinner and cupcakes?  :)&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;Hmmm&amp;#8230;  There&amp;#8217;s Righteous Room, which is right around the corner from Atlanta Cupcake Factory.  And maybe the Urban Outfitters next to RR will open soon.  Whaddya say?&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;Thanks for meeting Christy with me!  I think it was a really fantastic and informative meeting.  Christy&amp;#8217;s great, isn&amp;#8217;t she?&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;And, yep, the &lt;em&gt;place kicker method&lt;/em&gt; is sooooo useful for those outdoor shots.  He he.  :)&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;Well, off to blog and then get crackin&amp;#8217; on a case study that&amp;#8217;s due.  Ugh!&lt;/p&gt;</description>
