RIP Low-Carb Craze

Hooray! It's going away for REAL now! The low-carb rhetoric and marketing garbage that was EVERYWHERE is finally waning! Want proof? Just look at these headlines!

I am so happy. I was getting extremely tired of hearing low-carb this and carb-free that. Of course, now this means that we will just be moving on to the next fad. Jon's money is on "Trans Fats" and how bad they are. I agree with him.

Remember, you heard it here first! (Well, maybe not, but whatever.) Watch out for the new Trans-Fat Bashing Fad!

Need a new last name

We need to pick a new last name. Jon and me. We aren't taking my last name, we aren't taking his, and we aren't keeping our own names. We need a new one. But I have NO idea where to even start. He wants something Russian. He is not Russian. He's never been to Russia. We don't have anything Russian in common. I, on the other hand, am part Bulgarian, and very proud of that part of my heritage. He doesn't want any of my family's Bulgarian names. He doesn't even want a Bulgarian name unless it is the same word in Russain.

Yeah, ok, I know he has some strange affinity for things Russian, but what's RUSSIA got to do with ANYTHING? Nothing. Well, except my dad's mom was from a family that was from Germany, but they went to live in Russia for a time before coming to America. The Germans From Russia are a special breed though. Not quite Russian, not really the same as "regular" Germans. Think knoephla. Think Schmeckfest. Mmm.... or anything to do with that German-Russian food. I miss my grandma. :(

And the Russian words that I did look up for Jon, he didn't like. He is asking for translations of pretty complex ideas. Those words are too long. Simpler concepts, the words are too short or not "cool" enough for him or something. Frankly, I don't care what we pick for a last name, as long as its something we can both agree on and be happy with. I just wonder if that will be possible at this rate! lol
