Observations on love, marriage, and motherhood

Tag: not my name!

It’s been awhile.

Salesman: "Hello, is this Cherida?" Jillian: "Excuse me?" "Cherida?" [Pronounced CHER-EE-DUH] "I think you have the wrong number, sir." "The receptionist transferred me to you. She said she was sending me to the media buyer, Cherida McIntyre?" Well, that's a first!

A brief rant by JoAnn McInter

How hard is it to spell "McIntyre"? Seriously! Yesterday, I got "McIntrye" and "McInter". Has no one heard of this name before?! Or of him, (Joey McIntyre), my childhood crush? Or of this guy, (Scott McIntyre), from American Idol? Separately, if, when I have children, you EVER see me trying to put this bumper sticker…

Was it something I said?

Yesterday, for the first time in awhile, I got called the wrong name. Twice. Tiffany and Jenna. Does "Jillian" sound like "Tiffany" or "Jenna" to you?

Um, who?

I haven't done one of these posts in awhile, but today, I got called something new. Something I've never been called before. Not the usual JoAnn, Jolene or Jeralyn. Today it was: Jonathan. Yes, clearly my name is Jonathan.

I almost died, and other happenings

It's 30 degrees and snowing in Denver today. Really, this snow storm came out of nowhere. On Saturday, it was near 70 degrees, and Coleman and I walked a couple of miles to a little diner to have breakfast. Today, I opened the blinds and there was a half foot of snow on the ground!…

Yool-Yawn?

I didn't intend for this blog to be all about people saying my name wrong, but some of the things I get called are just too good to keep to myself! Why would my parents spell my name "Jillian" if it was pronounced "Yool-Yawn"? Some people...

It really bugs me when people spell my last name: Mcintyre Don't they know that the "I" is capitalized? McIntyre Coleman would venture to say (as he's said to me many times) that the name is spelled wrong if the "c" is not "elevated" as well. The "c" should not be level with the rest…

I found Danielle's blog through Carlos' blog a few months ago. I know neither Carlos nor Danielle, but I guess that's the way the Internet works these days. (For the record, I found Carlos' blog through Derek's blog. I do know Derek.) Anyway, I am in love with Danielle's blog! Her stories are so good--sometimes…

How does "Jillian" sound like "Carrie"?

Contrary to popular belief…

My name is not pronounced "Yoo-Lee". I've heard that twice already today.
