You can call me GINGER NINJA!

A cousin of mine recently started his own blog. At first I thought that it was silly and pointless. What more do we need to know about one persons life? I mean if it is not on Facebook why do I need to know? Well I read a few of his postings and some of them were quite entertaining. It felt almost as if we had met up for coffee, well scratch that, in this family either that coffee would have been spiked with some hard-A or we would have just gone straight for a shot and/or a beer. The drink has no importance here. As I was saying it felt as if we had met up and he told me those stories personally. Now many of you I talk to often and will be hearine my stories outloud or even be one experiencing them with me sadly enough you guys will most likely be the only ones that will be reading this. My hope is to have this blog for family and friends that I don't often get to speak to. I also hope you find this blog insightful and get the chance to look into the life of this busy Ginger Ninja.

So here goes my first blog...

This morning I got home from work and was urged (by myself) to set this damn thing up. I quickly got onto Facebook and recuited my dear friend Laura for help in coming up with a blogger name. While she was listing things I had goolged 'nicknames for redheads.' To my surprise there were a TON. Of course they had the typical Carrot, Carrottop, Ginger, and Fire Crotch. Speaking of carrottops, aren't they GREEN? Hmmm since I was itty bitty I have always despised that name. Anywho, like I mentioned they had copious amounts of others that I had never heard. Names such as Flame Brain, Blushing Tomato, Peppermint Patties, Rangas, or my FAVORITE Ginger Ninja. The following is the entire list that I found. HAve fun with and email me YOUR favorites, either from the list or ones that you have heard and/ or made up yourself.
