14 Weeks Worth of Socks 
Wow!! Thank you so much! This is the first blog award I’ve ever received. You truly made my week. =)
I will find time to pass on this good karma and be sure to give you a shout!
You are welcome! 🙂
We have two things in common, I also don’t have a middle name and laugh at the inappropriate (which can be terrible!! lol) Congrats and thanks for the nomination 🙂
:-). See, I knew I liked you!
Lol, maybe that’s why kiwi comedy is so different, some of us are a little…..something? 🙂
Thanks for nominating me..Appreciate..I am thrilled
Well done! No middle name? My husband and every generation before him also have no middle names. I changed it up a little and gave our kids two!!
I wonder how unusual it is not to have one and whether it’s a cultural thing or just a preference? Certainly is seems like most people I know have one or sometimes two middle names. My parents said they had enough trouble picking one name let alone two 🙂
It was cultural in my husband’s instance. He’s Macedonian. They don’t tend to have middle names.
I actually googled it last night, it’s fascinating! I am of English/Scotish descent but growing up it was definitely the exception – very unusual for both my sets of grandparents to buck the trend.
Thanks for nominating Forgotten NZ! I too am a terrible cook 😉
