Thought I’d take a moment today for some housekeeping. 
There’s so many fun things I like to write about….and so many fun things I want to share with you. For instance: did you know that every time we go to a fast food restaurant Handsome likes to get creative with the kid meal toys? {See below….he was excited to make them tango.}
Or things about me, like…….my knees are almost always fuzzy, because even after decades of shaving I don’t seem to have the hang of knees. {I’ll spare you the picture for that one…..}
How about how to pronounce my name. That’s a big one. Many people botch it. First of all……my name is spelled: D. a. u. n. e.
Phonics, people, phonics! ’au’ says “aw” and e’s on the end of words are USUALLY silent in this crazy English language. {Unless we are in France. I wish we were in France, but we are not right now. If we were in France you could make the ‘e’ say whatever you wanted it to.}
I get a lot of goofs with my name—and lots of people have e-mailed me to find out about it. I think there’s even been a few people that think I am a guy. {See above fuzzy knee thingy and maybe that will set that one straight. } I’m really gonna have to get a picture on this blog somewhere. The head shots I’ve tried to add so far have been fuzzy, so back to the drawing board.
So, housekeeping for today is: “How to pronounce my name”. My FEMALE name. [hint, hint...did ya catch it?] Let’s start with what it IS NOT {but I’m often called or referred to}:
Diane
Danny
Doo-Ann {huh?}
Dwayne
Day-nee {what in the world!?}
Don
My name is: Daune….pronounced like ‘Dawn’.
There you have it! You are now in the know! You will sleep better tonight with this knowledge…I feel sure.
Sweet Dreams~
PS That thingy at the end of my name is a heart. I have signed my name with a heart since second grade. Just so you wouldn’t think I added another letter to whole crazy name situation.
