The Blog has record of it since it won't use my reinbeauchaser name. </strong></span> <br /><span style="color:#9999ff;"><strong></strong></span> <br /><span style="color:#9999ff;"><strong>Supposedly it's already in use. Yeah, I know this, since it's me! However, I just can't get into it. So, I've used Muggee instead and created another blog using that as my handle.</strong></span> <br /><span style="color:#9999ff;"><strong></strong></span> <br /><span style="color:#9999ff;"><strong>Muggee is sort of an endearing name that my husband gave me shortly after we married. When we were dating, he used words like 'Princess' to describe me. Once married, Princess was demoted to Muggee. Not sure how that happened, but in nearly 30 years of marriage, it hasn't changed.</strong></span> <br /><span style="color:#9999ff;"><strong></strong></span> <br /><span style="color:#9999ff;"><strong>Princess sounds better, but Muggee - that's more personalized and special. I mean, how many people do you know who are nicknamed Muggee? </strong></span> <br /><span style="color:#9999ff;"><strong></strong></span> <br /><span style="color:#9999ff;"><strong>Yeah, didn't think so.</strong></span> <br /><span style="color:#9999ff;"><strong></strong></span> <br /><span style="color:#9999ff;"><strong>Yet, one might ask - where in the world did he ever come up with a name like that?</strong></span> <br /><span style="color:#9999ff;"><strong></strong></span> <br /><span style="color:#9999ff;"><strong>Remember Captain and Tennille? No? Hmm...well, remember the song, Love Will Keep Us Together? Or, the 80's rendition of a Shop Around? Or, hey, Muskrat Love!! Yeah, now there was a song. </strong></span> <br /><span style="color:#9999ff;"><strong></strong></span> <br /><span style="color:#9999ff;"><strong>Well, somewhere amid all of that, the word Mugwump came into play. Don't ask me how, it just did. It was applied to me and then eventually shortened to Muggee. For years I kept it hidden, not wanting anyone to know about it and where it was an endearing name my husband gave me, even more so. </strong></span> <br /><span style="color:#9999ff;"><strong></strong></span> <br /><span style="color:#9999ff;"><strong>That is - until - now! </strong></span> <br /><span style="color:#9999ff;"><strong></strong></span> <br /><span style="color:#9999ff;"><strong>I have recently found several definitions for Mugwump, but by far my most favorite and one that I will brandish here is - </strong></span> <br /><span style="color:#9999ff;"><strong></strong></span> <br /><strong><em><span style="color:#ff99ff;">A mugwump is someone educated beyond his intellect!</span></em></strong> <br /><span style="color:#9999ff;"><strong></strong></span> <br /><span style="color:#9999ff;"><strong>Yeah, baby!</strong></span> <br /><span style="color:#9999ff;"><strong></strong></span> <br /><span style="color:#9999ff;"><strong>Or not, since it really depends on how you look at it.</strong></span> <br /><span style="color:#9999ff;"><strong></strong></span> <br /><span style="color:#9999ff;"><strong>Either I am incredibly brilliant, meaning that I was incredibly smart before I found education.</strong></span> <br /><span style="color:#9999ff;"><strong></strong></span> <br /><span style="color:#9999ff;"><strong>Or, I was hopelessly stupid and with said education, I'm like all of you.</strong></span> <br /><span style="color:#9999ff;"><strong></strong></span> <br /><span style="color:#9999ff;"><strong>Personally, I'd like to believe I'm better, but we all know how much in denial I tend to be - so...</strong></span> <br /> <br /><span style="color:#9999ff;"><strong>I guess I'm just your average brilliant person - </strong></span> <br /><span style="color:#9999ff;"><strong></strong></span> <br /><span style="color:#9999ff;"><strong>Just like you! :0)</strong></span> <br /><span style="color:#9999ff;"><strong></strong></span> <br /><span style="color:#9999ff;"><strong>Have a great day; I know I'm going to.</strong></span> <br /><span style="color:#9999ff;"><strong></strong></span> <br /><span style="color:#9999ff;"><strong>Be blessed.</strong></span> <br /><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/10406855-110672221474366650?l=muggee.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Rene'http://www.blogger.com/profile/16189559214258851536noreply@blogger.com4
