I was considering a nickname… I just don’t have one. I have a few my husband calls me but I really don’t want to be known as honey to the general population.
I decided on Trixie but was quickly told (via facebook because isn’t that where life happens) that Trixie was a bit risque — and I was thinking of Trixie Belding, girl detective not Trixie girl of the evening. I opted for Dixie in honor of the late, great Dixie Carter and now I’m considering another change.
Jinx – may just be the new name. It seems that everything I come in contact with is falling apart. The AC stopped working, my phones quit working, the router on my modem or internet or something that in a little black box with flashing lights quit working…. and my sunny, good natured quit working too.
It seemed as if I were destined to be in a bad place and then Viola! It’s all working again. Repair guy fixed the black box thingie, I fixed the phones and hubby fixed the AC w/ a little help from some friends – things are good and my attitude is much better. So it’s back to Dixie formerly known as Trixie or DkaT – D-Kat for short. It sounds so much cooler than I am.
What about you… if you could pick a nickname what would it be and why?
My nickname in school was always Grace. I was forever stumbling over things. Seemed I could not walk without stumbling. Someone even had me a T-shirt made that had Grace airbrushed on it. I truly was a klutz.
Then in adulthood, I did not stumble over physical things, but rather over character and holiness issues. I could have been called ‘Grace’ in a very tongue in cheek kinda way because I needed it and wasn’t really looking for it.
Now, I could be called Grace because it has been lavished on me by Jesus.
Nice to meet you, Dixie. I am Grace.

Hmm..nicknames,
I’ve had a few in my life.
I still have several now that I think about it. It just depends on who is addressing me or talking about me. Some are good, some not so good.
My sweet husband and my BFF calls me “Sunshine”, that’s a good one.
My BFF also likes to call me “Slacker” from time to time. This is usually when she knows I need a good swift kick in the behind to get me back on track. Most of the time it works, I just hear the word and I want to run to the nearest activity and get to work.
But if I could choose a nickname for myself I think I would like to be called “Luna”. Short for lunar. Why? Because lunar’s definition is: Of, involving, caused by, or affecting the moon.
The earth’s moon does not cast light from within or of itself, it’s light is actually the reflection of the light of the sun. I would like to always be recognized or known as someone who reflects the light of the “SON”.
But, most days, “Slacker” probably fits best.
Love you girl,
Lisa
