What's In a Name

So, posting #2 (I will stop calling out what number post I'm writing...soon :) ). Of course, the first question you'd ask would be "what does the name mean?" I was trying on a number of names for size as I drove home today. I should note that I had A LOT of time to think today. I was planning on spending my day lounging on the beach at my family's beach house, but alas, the weather had other plans for me. So my mom and I did our own "public service" by cleaning, doing laundry, changing beds, throwing out stuff, instead of baking in the heat. In any event, because the sea and I could not commune today, there was a lot percolating in my head. About this blog, what I would call it, what I would say, what wouldn't I say. To make a long story short, "Plannerette" has two meanings:

• One: I am a woman and typically adding "-ette" to a word signifies the female version. As in "majorette" or "bachelorette" (which, by the way, I never, ever want to be called or have a party under said name). You get the gist. Does this word wreak of sexism or belittling the female gender, you might ask? Nah, I'm confident in my feminity, and I am an "ette" who likes all things feminine - perfume, lipstick, high heels, cute undies)...
• Two: I think, though it's not grammatically correct, that "-ette" also means small, miniature, or maybe junior. And I am a young planner. With a lot to learn. And I have no shame in saying that. But more on that later (or sometime)

So, Plannerette it is. It's a young planner's view of the world.
