Rest week has been good, but not a much rest as I have wanted and I guess I could blame myself, but instead I will blame Dave, the dogs, and work. and myself. But overall I have gotten a little more rest. I was able to enjoy a margarita last night at girl's night, and tonight I am going to go to another great party. (gasp- Damie is going out!) so, while I am not as rested as I want to be, I have allowed my focus to shift elsewhere for a minute.

And since I don't have much to say in the blog, I am going to attempt to explain my name- as I am usually asked the meaning about 10x a week.

I am named Damie after my great grandmother. No, I don't know what it means. Nor do my parents. So weird.

So, I finally looked it up the other day and it means the following:
1. soother or tamer (Greek origins....used as a boy name)
2. friendly (in French...girl's name)
3. Also a form of the name Damica (Spanish and English...girl's name).

So, I am no longer Damie, the girl that has a weird name with no meaning. I am Damie, the friendly soother and tamer.

:) Happy Weekend, and Happy(?) 5 Year Katrina Anniversary. We love and miss you New Orleans.

You are SUCH a friendly soother! That's awesome.

Nobody ever asks me about my name... weird.

i love it - the soother and the tamer. you have such an original name and you carry it well - i've always hated have such a common name with several million different spellings lol.

I love your name. I guess when i think about it i could think "DAME? huh?" like Notre Dame or Great Dame. oops, that is Dane. hahaha.
Hope your week is going well so far!
