Hedwig as she is

Check the Gregorian calender 16oct ....ST HEDWIG. Yes I was born on that day. My late grandfather named me Hedwig after a German saint. When I started school it was difficult for them to pronounce my name. I was like thinking why didn't he name me Mary - its a saints name too. So much easier to call. Instead of HEDWIG or HEAD WIG your head full of wig thats what i heard most of the time. It was fun for them but me I was cursing most of the time, Bless her....
so i decided to take the matter into my own hands, I changed my name to Heidi till today I am known as Heidi but in my ID it remains as Hedwig for official use only. As you grow older you appreciate the name given , the meaning behind it and it makes u start to think it is a very beautiful name fit for a queen. Please check online on Queen Hedwig. I did not see it then....But its not too late. I have named my blog simply Hedwig.........not forgetting Harry Porter's owl is called Hedwig too. Welcome to the club, HEDWIG.

My first blog heh heh

Hi! Its quite kecoh here. Guess what? Everyone wanted to help me to write my first blog, as they think that this 40 something women will find it difficult to type.. error here and there. Hands off! I am beginning to get the feel of it. Now leave your mum alone to get her first blog complete. SIGH..... now lets see. Where were we? Ya, the BLOG. I have been wanting to start my own blog ever since I discovered that housewives blog too, besides cooking, cleaning, and all the chores thrown at you. Do I sense a tinge of bitterness? NO not anymore.. I am beginning to enjoy it...Even though I am typing it very slow.....I don't care... they can wait ....I can't. I enjoy reading other blogs - MR MANAGER is top on my list. DAPHNE IKING'S OH that lady she is beautiful, funny and i just love reading her blog.. Just to name a few. I am still getting used to the keyboard , bear with me. Typing error here and there.. need to call my daughter to help me with that. Kids these days. They eat and sleep computer....As i was saying, i confided with my better half about starting my own blog. He was like nonchalant..."honey are u sure u can keep up with it.? blogging takes time." I was thinking, so is making love...what a big deal. I'll prove to him here that I can maintain my blog. We'll see. I asked my oldest daughter is it difficult to start a blog? Well its easy but are u sure mum. She was giving me that face. You know what i mean. Nonetheless she helped me. Here I am happily typing away. Call me if u need me. She is good I tell u. My youngest one just passed by "mum we want our dinner".....I'll continue later. Can't they leave this poor woman alone......sigh
