*** Felicia is not her real name, but her preferred online name. It’s fancy!

So last night at church a friend from our previous small group that I had not seen since before Christmas came up to me. We hugged and exchanged the normal greetings and then she said, “I know a lot more about you and Beau than I thought I’d ever know!”

I gave her a quizzical look and then she said, “I was looking for your shop online ...”

And I finished, “… and you found my blog?”

Ah, the danger of having my Etsy username (and therefore my shop link) be the same as my blog domain. I’ve been thinking about making a change to my Etsy username, but the hassle of moving everything to a new account is daunting, as is the cost since I’d have to pay again to relist everything. It’s kind of silly that Etsy can’t just change a username, but in reading their FAQ I see that they won’t do it because of the potential for fraud. I guess I can understand that.

Then I think that maybe it would be easier to change my blog domain? But that’s silly since I’ve been blogging under this domain for years.

Catch-22.

Anyway, I’m totally OK with Felicia reading my blog. Turns out we’re a lot more similar than we previously thought - and we already knew we were pretty similar. Beau commented that she could be like an older sister to me and that is quite true. Interestingly, her husband is a law professor at GMU, so we married similar people as well.

Hey, Felicia! :waving:
