I knew I was weird, but...

PBS has a website you can use to determine how common your surname is in America. I searched for my married name, my maiden name, my mother’s maiden name, and my mother-in-law’s maiden name. Not one of theses made the top 55,000 most common American surnames!

I guess we’re a weird bunch.

The other option would be that our ancestors were creative spellers and that most other people with their surnames spelled them differently when they arrived. Take your pick.

In craft news, I packed away a lot of yarn that I’d picked up from garage sales this past season. Now that I have sufficient wool covers (and felted wool sweaters) to cover diapers until John gains another five or more pounds, I’ve lost interest in knitting. I didn’t realize how much yarn I had until I packed it up - sigh - it really does pay to be organized.
