I actually said aloud to someone this morning, “Do you have someone that does your Social Media?”  That’s a job now. A paying job.  “Social Media Expert” used to be called “Hey, go get your hair cut here.” Or “I know a guy…”

Life Coach, Blogger , Etiquette Director & Organization Expert are viable careers these days, too.   These used to be called Mom, Big Sister’s Diary & Grandma Who Berates Me Till I Send Her a Thank-You Note. I even have a friend who has just become one of the  first certified Style Coach’s in the country. http://www.stylecoachingusa.com/Facilitator_Profiles_Style_Coaching_Institute_USA.html  

This is scintillating news for me! Because in addition to my  Writer/Radio Talk Show/ BlabberMouth careers, I’m going to follow my dreams and become—–  A CABIN NAMER!!!! It’s like a Shade Namer (already taken), but for Houses/ Cabins or Lake Homes!   See, we live on a lake and while some folks are onboard— “Turtle View”, “Fort Zero” & the gloriously darling “Enchanted Cottage”, some are struggling.

“Hello, my name is Jill. Your place is lacking some pizazz and I’m here to help for the low-low fee of  just $50 per word. Hmmm, well this joint is dark and dank.  Welcome home, folks, to “Castle Crap”. That will be $100. Oh, by the way, your Hummer-driving neighbors over at the “The One-UpMan’s Ship” wish you’d mow because they fear their property value is plummeting.”

Oh, Lord!!! I just searched Lake Homes on Google and found THIS instead:

Argh!!! Another dream SHATTERED.

That’s IT. I’m going to Google “Fashion Police” and follow my new and improved dream of being the nation’s first accredited Fashion Police Officer.  I’ll be giving out tickets& fines in the airport en route home to earn credit hours.

Writing to you from Honeysuckle Hill. Actually, I have another career for you. We’ll discuss later. It’s for a product that is not made and I need it.

This naming thing started when her Dad and I moved in to a townhouse when she was in college. Her first comment: it’s a “tastefully decorated igloo”. It stuck.
