Suggestions?

Okay, a few people have mentioned that I'm going to have to update the name of the blog. I, of course, am 96.37% in favor of "elle, phd." But I'm thinking that after all the hectivity of the last few weeks, maybe we can all ruminate on some options.

One I've discarded: Sistorian, you know, because I'm a sister and a--

You get the point.

One I sort of like: This Woman's Work, because I'm a woman and I study women and their work, etc., etc.

Anyway, while I 1) clean up the final draft 2) decide what I want to write about Union Parish, LA and 3) get ready for a conference, please leave suggestions in the comments.

Sway me from elle, phd. That's so predictable :-p

Elle the Riveter! lol

On a serious note, I like This Woman's Work.

Kate said...

This Woman's Work sounds great (but I have to admit, so does Elle, PhD!).

Julie said...

Um, I like elle, phd... so I guess I am absolutely no help :P

HB said...

Predictable? Predictably AWESOME! I vote elle, phd. It's called bragging rights, my friend!

HB said...

(ps this is petit -- and yay elle! I'm so deliriously excited for you!)

This Women's Work is already taken. She reads my site. It an adoption blog--http://www.thiswomanswork.com/

I liked Sistorian best.

Donna said...

I don't care if it's predictable, I really like elle, phd! We're all proud of you and it's not only bragging rights for you but for us too. "Meet my friend, elle, the doctor..." LOL

How about "That's Dr. Elle to You"??

elle said...

I'm thinking:

elle, phd

ruminations and revelations of one southern sistorian

(since rachel likes sistorian and i guess it is kinda neat)

i also seem to like the word ruminate and its variations today

and yes, i will always be southern. even if they send me to alaska

how about the best of both worlds:

elle, phd ruminates

personally, i like the simplicity of:

elle, phd

Yeah, use Sistorian in your tag line.

Sometimes predicability is good...go with "elle, phd" and then something cool for the subtitle.

Mon said...

I like rachel's idea--great combination!!

AS said...

"This Woman's Work" refers to a most excellent Kate Bush tune if you're into that...

elle said...

thanks all for the suggestions! now my lazy butt has to go in and change the template!

ea, i just recently learned of her because, somewhere i was reading, people were arguing over kate bush vs. maxwell. i still haven't heard her version.

Texter said...

new name (elle phd, with the sistorian as tagline) sounds great.
Congrats! Feels strange to move into the echelon of the "done", no>? I'm done too...! :) 5/3 will forever warrant an anniversary

Revelations and ruminations from one southern sistorian...
