    FWIW, my mom gets bothered when people spell her name with a y rather than an ie.

    I used to say I didn't mind when people didn't spell my name right as it happened all the time. Then someone started spelling my first name wrong. Turns out, that really annoys me - especially as this person spelled it wrong replying to an email where I had spelled it correctly. Last name not so much.

    Alas, the only song ever written about me, wasn't written about me.

    True story. I met a guy at Duke in my freshman comp class. We never made it to anything more than "say hi on quad" type friends but we always spoke when we saw each other, except, he called me Julie. Others remarked on it. I always said, "He knows who I am, he's just got my name wrong." Finally, one day in the spring of senior year, I was chatting with a mutual friend on the quad and he walked up. Mutual friend said, "Bob, do you know Lisa?" He gave me quite a look and I got to reply, "I'm not Julie, my name is Lisa." For me, it was awesome. And then I told him what I'd told everybody else, you know who I am, you just have the name wrong.

    I was introduced to Rich several times freshman year and he kept calling me Mary. I started calling him Mark. Met his parents at a graduation party and they said "so you're Mary". Only proper response was "and you are Mark's parents".

    Many thanks for the birthday wishes!

    I ran the Reebok 10k for Women today (formerly the Tufts Health Plan 10k and before that the Bonne Bell 10k). It was my 13th in a row! Tonight - tapas with some girlfriends as the hubby is in Oregon.

    Enjoy your evening. I saw the invitation to join you on FB - wish I were closer.

    Anybody trying the 8 hour diet plan? The intermittent fasting where you only eat during that span, say 10-6, 11-7, etc.

    I kind of like it, I guess. Five pounds down so far. I cheat with coffee in the morning but otherwise I'm doing ok.
