New beginnings (and a giveaway!)

I'm still here. And I know with all my free time I should be writing more but I haven't been doing anything to write about. Craig started orientation this week so he has been gone and I have just been sitting around. And I'll continue to just sit around until I start my new job.

Yep, you heard me, I have a new job! But I'm still waiting for the University to get all the paperwork to me and get a hiring date so I'll be hanging around the house for a few more days.
I think I'm going to really like the job and I am ready to get out of this apartment. I am out of projects to work on, or at least projects that don't require a bunch of money. I went to the library and got myself a library card, checked out four books and read them all in the first 48 hours. I've watching the Olympics until badminton put me to sleep. And it has been rainy the last few days so I haven't even been able to swim. While Craig was still around, it was fun to have a week or two to spend time together and get stuff in order but now I am ready to work.

Since I don't have any outings to describe for your amusement, I thought I would start a new series. I use the word "series" loosely since I only have two posts in mind at the moment and I am not going to guarantee any new ones come to mind. While I won't have a posting schedule or anything that formal, I would like to have a title for the series to make it somewhat cohesive.

There is the problem, I'm really bad at coming up with titles. If you go back and read my post titles and one seems catchy, Craig probably thought it up. So help me out. Oh, but you might need to know what the series is about first...

I have mentioned in the past how I am an undercover hippie, so I thought I would share some of the weird things I do. I will probably go back and add my diva cup post (not safe for men) to the collection but other topics that might be included are:

-how I've stopped washing my face
-how I've stopped washing my hair
-maybe more on the fermenting foods subject (if I end up having any luck with it)

So that is the idea for my little "series," but I need a title for it. This is where you come in; I'm asking for your help. I'm sure you will rise to the challenge since every time I have turned to y'all you have done a great job giving me book recommendations, movie recommendations, etc. But for extra motivation, I have decided to make it a giveaway!

Who ever comes up with the winning title will get a $15 Amazon gift certificate! So put your thinking caps on. Oh, and since it isn't random but a selective process, feel free to post as many ideas as you have. I'll announce the winner Wednesday, August 27th.

  1. As a relative I realize I am exempt from winning, but I'd still like to have a go at a title for your series:

    The Crunchy Granola Chronicles

  3. I think your phrase "uncover hippie" is pretty catchy, actually. I like "MacKenzie: Undercover Hippie" or "The Undercover Hippie Files."

  4. i also like undercover hippie. what about:

    1. all natural banter
    2. texas granola

    i can't think of anything else - but i do like acronyms - so i'd shorten undercover hippie to The UC Hippie Vol. 1, Vol. 2 etc.

    i can't wait to read about how you've stopped washing your hair and face!

    um - does this mean you'll stop shaving your legs and armpits too?
