Crusing the referral log
Every so often you see something in the logs that catches your eye. The other day I saw a referral from http://maria.thudfactor.com. "Thudfactor" has a new-wave Homer-esque sound to it, and I wanted to see what was on the other end.
What I found Transitions and Poop, not the kind of thing I normally link to, but a pleasant read. I had a couple of "awwww…" moments there.
I'm gonna lift a post from Maria explaining the name:

I renamed my blog
I have renamed my blog. I thought about calling it a few different things...
The new and improved housewife (but I'm not so sure that's true)
Maria-- Wife, Mother, and Weirdo (but I'm so much more than just that)
Maria's World (it was just too stupid to consider)
I looked at old entries and started thinking, "What is Maria's world right now?" Then I saw
Transitions and Poop. This is truly my world.
I'm no longer employed, but I still think like a statistician. I might be a housewife, but I hate the term and I don't think I fit the traditional role of housewife anyway. I guess that means I'm in transistion. Transition to what? Well, your guess is as good as mine.
And with a baby comes much poop. But it's more than just the baby pooping in my life. I have a husband, dog, and two ferrets-- not to mention myself. So like most lives, mine is full of poop that I have to deal with somehow or another.
As a child and a starry-eyed teenager, I had this plan for a dream life. It didn't include staying at home or adoption or statistics or most of the things that are my life. I'm happy though. I'm so much happier than I ever would have been in my dream life.
I have discovered that a truly happy life is always in transition and alway filled with poop. And hence, the new name for my blog is "Transitions and Poop". It's my prescription for a good life.
