Starting a group blog

Can I just say how relieved I am that a) people actually got excited about joining a group blog and b) I am not the only person who ever thinks about which actress would portray me in a movie of my life (Keiko Agena).

So, the first step in starting this group blog will be to come up with a name for the blog. It turns out you can't even start a blog until you come up with a name for it. Any suggestions? I think it should be something punchy that reflects all of the different goals that people are trying to accomplish, whether they be baking or yoga or whatever. Leave your suggestions in the comments section. And if you, or someone you know would still like to join us, it's not too late!

Hmmm...Baker's Heaven? Just kidding, that's cheesy and not everyone is baking. I just had to write something. Good luck finding a name! I'm still in by the way.

Joel and I have been trying to think of ways to contribute. I am not a big baker, but maybe I should become one...but then what do I do with all of the baked goods? I don't have that many friends. I am trying to force Joel to cook one dinner a week while I'm at work, but I'm not sure if that's in the spirit of your blog, to force people into it against their will. Even though he hasn't committed, he has already come up with two names: Cookwrecks or Simple Meals for the Simple-Minded. But that won't apply to everyone. Anyway, we're thinking of ways to join in.
P.S. Joel would be Jerry Seinfeld or Hugh Grant. Or some conglomeration of the two. I've been told by several people that I look like Lucy Liu. Or Judy the Elf from The Santa Clause.
P.P.S Every time I see Keiko Agena, I think of you. So it is perfect.

OK, I think I'm ready to join for real. I will do pies. I am a terrible pie maker, but I would like to become better. Though I'll probably always live in my mother-in-law's formidable pie-making shadow. I don't think I can commit to weekly, but maybe biweekly (or fortnightly, as I like to say as of now).
P.S. Initial ideas for names: Aggregeats? Conglomereats? Hm. That's all I got right now. Contemporaneous Cooks. These are getting worse.
P.P.S. I keep thinking about you being played by Keiko Agena, and it makes me smile. And I remembered that someone once told me I looked like Alexis Bledel (which might be more true if I had gigantic blue eyes). Then we could be best friends. You would get the much cooler, better looking boyfriend though. (At least as of season 3, which is as much as I know)
