Why Michelle with Double L's?

I felt the need to describe why I titled the blog this...what can I say I'm a people pleaser


So, as I was sitting here thinking about this whole blogging thing and what the heck I'd call it, and I was thinking about my experience as a server. Whenever I meet someone new I always try to connect with them in some way (I think most people do that)

First: Introductions, I tell this new guest my name and as part of working at the mac shack you write your name upside down (and backwards in my case) usually the person comments on how hard it must be to write upside down, and like all the other servers there you say blah dee blah blah and laugh about it

But in some cases they have a connection to your name, in my case Michelle. Maybe it's their own name, maybe a close friend or daughter. What do you say to that though? Maybe you have a better come back but usually I'm sort of akward in saying Ooh cool, its a good name... But it's totally cool for some reason when your name's Michelle to ask whether you spell it with one "L" or two, this makes more of a connection. Something extra that you talk about, what the background is, why you like your way, and why think it's better ... because no matter which way you spell it your way is  always better.

So there it is... Michelle with Double L's
