I was invited!

Ashley decided to have a blog party. What is that? I don't know really, but I wanted to play. She came up with a question for each day of the week to blog about. Good, because that way I don't have to try to think about what to blog. She's done it for me. I was an occasional closet lurker on her site. She probably thinks I'm crazy for wanting to be invited to her blog party. But, who wouldn't jump at the chance for a week of topic given to you! So, if you want to play, go on over to her page and give her your email address.

"Where did you get your name? Write the story of how your first, middle, or last name became yours."

Well, my momma gave me my name. I think she got it out of a Baby name book. I do know that because my two older siblings names' began with a 'J', she decided, what the heck, I'll name baby #3 with a 'J' too. Growing up, I was never fond of my name. Nothing ever had my name on it. There was always things with my sister's name on them (her name is Julie, my brothers' names are Jason and Justin). Yea, it seems they all had normal, common names. Meeting someone with my name, Jana, is always exciting, not only for me, but for the other "Jana" as well. I've grown to accept it now. Just don't call me Gina, Dana, Janice, Janet, Janie...That drives me insane!!
My middle name is Michelle. Nothing fancy. But, I kinda like it. I, like Ashley, gave Baby S my middle name. I really like sharing my middle name with my baby girl.
