Thumbs up for a giveaway!

Long ago when a friend dared me to blog long before blogging was cool, I kept hearing one conversation from “You’ve Got Mail” in my head when I tried to think of a name. Admittedly, I’ve never been good with titles or headlines. And, you know, if we get to have another baby and it’s a boy, I’m not sure he’ll ever have a name. Yet, long ago, I managed to name my blog. And both the name and the blogging endeavor have stuck.

Thank you, Joe Fox and Kathleen Kelly from “You’ve Got Mail.”

Joe Fox: So what’s his handle?
Kathleen Kelly: Uh…
Joe Fox: I’m not going to write him. Is that what you’re worried about? You think I’m going to e-mail him?
Kathleen Kelly: [beat] All right, NY152.
Joe Fox: N-Y-one-five-two. One hundred and fifty-two. He’s a hundred and fifty-two years old. He’s had one hundred and fifty-two moles removed, so now he’s got one hundred fifty-two pock marks on his… on his face…
Kathleen Kelly: The number of people who think he looks like Clark Gable.
Joe Fox: One hundred and fifty-two people who think he looks like a Clark *Bar*.
Kathleen Kelly: [laughing] Why did I even tell you about this?
Joe Fox: A hundred and fifty-two stitches from his nose job. The number of his souvenir shot glasses that he’s collected in his travels.
Kathleen Kelly: No! The number… the numb… his address? No! No, he would never do anything that prosaic. …
Joe Fox: Mr. 152 Felony indictments.
Kathleen Kelly: Mr. 152 insights into my soul.
Joe Fox: Oh yeah. No competing with that.

{From “You’ve Got Mail“}

So, well, I thought it would be fun to giveaway a prize {or two!} when my blog page on Facebook reached 152 likes. You know, it seemed like an appropriate number. I’m at 99 now as I’m writing this post. Want to help get me there?

And when we get there, I’ve got a prize for two of you. One of you will get that prize package of some of my favorite things {see, there, to the left …} and another one of you will get a copy of “You’ve Got Mail.”

By “you” I mean anyone who “likes” 152 Insights to My Soul on Facebook. Two winners will be selected randomly when that little thumbs up shows 152. 

This has all gotten me wondering how did you come up with your blog name or what would you name your blog, you know, should you ever, hypothetically, have one?
