Whats in a name?

I got the idea for the name of this blog a few months ago when I was doing the dishes. My 4 year old was playing "birthday" and giving everyone "presents" he gave me a pair of shoes. Not just any shoes but a pair of high-heels, the kind I only wear on Sunday's for no more than a few hours at a time (for good reason). So, as they were a gift I dutifully put them on and continued with the dishes. After a while I started to think about the TV wives/mothers of the 50's, Donna Reed was the first name that popped into my head. I was thinking about how they were always dressed so perfectly, and their homes were always kept so nicely. When their husbands came home they had their pipe in one hand and a cocktail in the other.
I know this was only TV but I thought, maybe there is something to that. So I decided that one day I would try being Donna Reed for the day, I would wear a nice dress (with an apron of course) and high heels, and have my makeup done, and that I would chronicle the whole thing throughout the day.
Well, as fantastic of an idea as this was, I have yet to do it. I will admit that I do have a slight procrastination problem. But I still am going to do it one of these days, and if anyone ever reads this blog they will know all about it. I will do it as soon as I finish the laundry mountain, cleaning the fridge, cooking dinner........
