So last night the girls slept for 6 hrs - and boy did i have a good sleep :) Only problem is that 2 hrs after that feed they woke up and so did dad and he could not go back to sleep because he had just a great sleep. Whilst downstairs i booted up my trusty mac and had a realization that it would be great for my girls to get an email address, but not just any old email address a google one like mom and dad that they could use forever, it will not matter where they live or work they will always have a central email address. Now if i waited till they needed an email address then they might end up with jess9hemphill or whatever but not the intuitive one thats after their own name! So i settled for jessica.mikayla.hemphill and sarah.grace.hemphill and they now have email addresses! Now you might think this is odd and geekish and why should they not choose an alias one like "sarahpookie" - well of course they can! but they will always have the serious one and can always forward or do whatever they want with the emails and i promise you they will be clever enough to sort out what and how they want it!
The importance of a properly named email is not to be underestimated. Your email address is not your online identity and nobody can steal it! it is your online PO BOX address that people can send you mail that you want and dont want, without it many will find it difficult to communicate with you!
Of course what about when the get married? well i think i will just forget about that thought for at least the next 25 years! now where is that double bore shotgun licence application :)
