As per our goal for 2009, and the creation of this blog, we have now officially become part of the blogging world!
We are sure that everyone is anxious to see what exciting things we will put on our blog. I'm not all that confident that we will post anything of interest and thereby considered the name "Thomas Tedium" to be perfect for our blog name. Glen is convinced we will wow everyone with all our wonderful word/picture combos and is still loving his creative "Talk a Lot, Pics a Little" name. And although he did figure out how to get a picture of us on our blog (aren't you all impressed??), I'm not so sure we'll be taking too many pictures to post very often and so crossed his clever title off the list.
Since we did conduct a survey of our beloved family on what the actual name of our blog should be, it was evident that the favorite name was "Thomas Teaser--Written by Two Old Geezers". I just couldn't imagine referring to ourselves on a regular basis as old geezers, so that idea got shot down rather quickly.
Glen, the avid (or rabid) BYU fan that he is, was pushing for the "True-Blue Thomases" title to grace our header. But, since my favorite color is pink and the only true blue love I have for BYU is that it has been the institution of higher learning for several of our children, I nixed that one very quickly.
We do want to give honorable mention for Sarah's creativity in submitting quite a few original ideas. We loved them all, especially "The Rest of Our Quest With an Empty Nest". But, that almost sounds like we're nearing the end of the road and we feel like we have a whole lot of road left to travel before we're done.
Our other honorable mention would be from Mark, who was also very creative in throwing out some great, inventive ideas. Our favorite one of his was "Glen and Kim--Lots From Her, Little From Him". The jury is still out on whether I will jump on the blogging bandwagon and even want to write "lots" (although by the looks of this entry--perhaps that shouldn't be a worry...?!?). And since it was Glen's idea to get this blog going and he's already excited about being able to share his "Quote of the Week" feature, perhaps he'll be the one writing "lots" and I'll be the one posting "little".
So, as we kept crossing name after name after name off our list, the one that we both liked the best was--"G and K and What They Say". This means that I win the prize since it was one of my ideas. Too bad we didn't figure out a fabulous prize that would go to the winner of The Best Name For Our Blog Contest!

HOORAY!!! Let me be the first to say that I, as the official first commenter on your blog, am absolutely thrilled to see my dear old parents learning some new tricks!!! Way to go you old farts! :)
Boo yeah--first comment. Little disappointed in the final name. Now you need to get Ben to start one also.
Hooray! A new blog is born. Way to go on getting it all set up. Dallas likes the quote of the week idea. How does it feel to be genuine bloggers? We're hoping that with you guys blogging, we won't be the only ones in the family who regularly update our blog. Don't let us down!
You guys crack me up! Welcome to the blogging world. Maybe you can talk my parents into making a blog and using "Old Geezers" in the title.
The Rest of our Quest with an Empty Nest was just supposed to encourage you to continue this great blogging goal throughout the rest of your very long quest. Not saying you're nearing the end. Sorry for the misunderstanding. I love the title, though! Nice post, momzino. Great start!
Hey! Aren't you ever going to moderate my comment?
Um, Mom, you should let people post comments to make your blog more fun....
Okay, this approval for comments has got to go. I posted a comment what feels like ages ago and I still can't see it? How am I supposed to make fun of my sibling's comments if I never get to see them?
