What's in a name- Mr. Burns


Do you know how I got this stinkin nickname? I was bugging Justin for like 3 years when we first got married for a "pet name"- it seemed everyone had one... whether they called their spouse babe, or sweetheart, or honey, or like my dad calls my mom- "shorty"... just something that sets me apart from the other people he talked to everyday... and you know- we tried it, we tried hard- but I just could not call him anything affectionate, and neither could he... so, despite my effort, and intent to call him something kind of cute- he ended up J-dog, which is so dorky, but it stuck... even on the football field, and I ended up Mr. Burns... you know- Homer Simpson's boss- the weakest person on the planet- yep, that's me in my loving husbands eyes... oh well- I'll take what I can get!

I love it Brooke! You guys are so cute and I am sooooo happy you started blogging. My cheeks hurt from smiling when I saw you commented on my blog (even if your name is Mr Burns:) ). For some reason it makes you seem not that far away and I can keep up on your cutest family ever! I am so glad you guys are doing well. When we move back to AZ next year I really do want to see you! Until then we will just have to blog it up...

You and Justin are so dang funny. Mr. Burns can't be worse than "the wiggler", "wigity", "sweetfart" or "PLAAG" as my hubbie likes to call me. He is the king of crappy nicknames.

One of my friends had a vinyl party and your sis in law came and did it! How fun!

Brooke, I just found you blog from Shananigan's (Shanon's). Love the nickname "Mr Burns." My dad and brother are Simpson freaks and so I know all about the characters! Mr. Burns doesn't quite seem to fit you...I think Ned Flanders would do the trick!

Killer name Brooke! - Hey Justin, I was just watching the UTEP vs. New Mexico game and heard the name "Jamar Hunt" and thought that had to be your brother. It was. He's an animal. I think the game I was watching was a replay from last year so I'm going to try and watch their game tonight too.

Brooke, if you looking to give Justin a nickname, call him the "Mustard Drinking Fool". My boy just started the 1st grade and I was trying to remember what I did in the 1st grade... one of the few memories I have are of me and Justin sitting in the back row drinking straight from a mustard bottle. Yummy!

Cute belly Mr. Burns! Steve just seems to call me whatever I call him... Not very much thought involved but I think it is cute.
