Flip a coin for your thoughts

Hello friends, family, and random strangers. I welcome you all to my very first official blog. Well now, that's not entirely true. I blogged a few times on Myspace (twice to be exact) and those blogs were kind of great and in the same vain of penny+penny, so perhaps I'll post those at a later date for your enjoyment.


P+P was born out of the intense desire for me, who is known as a perpetual 'ray of sunshine', to let loose and tell you all those little things that just bug the crap out of me. I write in hopes of letting all of those little things go, or maybe just understand them a bit better, so that I may honestly, truly, wholly keep the 'perk' in 'Perky Penny' alive.


My very first rant is about all those jerk-face losers who stole my ideas for a blog title. In an attempt to come up with a witty title for my blog, I tried several names including the words 'penny' or 'coin' or 'cents': '(a)penny(4)foryourthoughts', 'theothersideofthecoin', 'my(2)cents' to name just a few. They were all already taken! Now, my dear friend suggested 'headsortails' which I thought sounded a skosh dirty, but even that was taken! (P.S. that one's kind of a cool blog and not at all dirty - I recommend it.) It just proved to me how uninspired, thoughtless, and random the world really is - are we all just flipping a coin to make decisions these days? About important things, like BLOG TITLES? Well, after hours and hours of tearing my hair out, (in Penny time, that's like maybe 15 minutes; in case you didn't figure out that I'm a tad over-dramatic) Penny Plus Penny (or Penny+Penny or P+P or PplusP or PpP or Pen+Pen) was born!

Well, that's my two cents kids. Tune in tomorrow for your next change-purse full of angst.

Dear Penny,

There is NO decision more important than what to title your blog. And I am proud of you for acknowledging it's seriousness.

Sincerely,
Deb

Will I get a credit for the inspiration of this blog? Because really, it's all about me!
