code-names

Some of you may have noticed that I don't name my loved ones in the blog.  I got the idea from my sister-in-law who creatively code-named her children after nursery rhyme characters (and Huck Finn).  I'm not all that creative - at least not yet, but I do think it's a good idea to keep my family's identities somewhat hidden.  Plus it makes me feel like a spy, so bonus.  At any rate, please don't be offended if i delete or edit your comment if you have named someone in it.  Also know that when I refer to my Little Bit or Little, I mean my daughter; when i refer to my husband, i mean... my husband (I have other nicknames for him, but this is not that kind of blog); and when i refer to Ben, I mean Ben - the dog.  He has given me permission to use his full name:  Sir Bennedict Winstopher Charles III, knighted by the Queen herself.  The III is just for kicks.  It sounds more regal.

And regal he is.
