HM Queen Fabiola of Belgium is 84 today.
So jealous of that title/name combo that I need to pause and engage in some deep breathing.
Queen Fabiola is fluent in Spanish, French, Dutch, English, German and Italian.
I'm going to ask Mr. Brown about changing Pearl's name to Queen Fabiola Brown.

Happy 64th birthday to Steven Tyler.
He has said that when he dies, he wants the following written on his tombstone:
Here lies Steven
The Demon of Screamin'
Who never woke up from the dream he was dreamin'
'Til one day, he took some magic potion
Now all that's left is sweet emotion

Sananda Francesco Maitreya is 50 today. Some of us know him better as Terence Trent D'Arby.
Apparently, he adopted the Sananda handle in 1995, following a series of dreams. He legally changed his name in 2001.
I often have a series of dreams involving Disney World and a talking blob of Saran Wrap. I wonder how I could incorporate this into a new name? No, no... I can't wonder about that. It's far too early in the morning to think about these things (p.s. why didn't any of you tell me that pregnancy equals brutal insomia?!?). Plus, I just officially changed my name (that's Mrs. Brown to you, thankyouverymuch), so I suppose I'd better let that be for a while.
