So In Keeping With Our Bee Theme

When Scott and I got married, I was delighted to realize that I could adopt the bee as our emblem: Belhorn, "B", bee.....get it?

Anyway, we now have bees around the kitchen, a bee print in our bedroom, and I have several cross stitch patterns with bees and hives to stitch. I've named our tiny little house "Beecroft Cottage" and our ficticious country cottage is called "La Ruche". (Because I have an active fantasy life, and because who is there to stop me? Because I am the QuinnBee and I am mad with power!)

Ok, so then Wednesday I had the genius idea that Scott and I should have alter-egos. BEE-related alter-egos! Alter-egos who would take over when Scott and I failed, who could help us to communicate better and to be better friends to each other. And in short order I had created Buzz and Honi.

Buzz and Honi are everything that Scott and I might like to be, but aren't. They are fun, they like to do all sorts of different things, and they're always up for a party. Buzz and Honi also enjoy working out, something that on my best days I find ho-hum. Needless to say, Buzz and Honi have never heard of social anxiety, they balance their checkbook, they never say mean things in the heat of anger, and they probably do not own a television. And, just between you and me, Honi is a bit of a hotsy-totsy. (Read, "sexpot".)

Ok, yeah, I know Buzz and Honi don't really exist, but thinking that they could makes me want to try just a little bit harder.

Then I started thinking, why should Scott and I have all the fun? So I thought of a few more combinations for other couples I know. For my friends who use monkeys as their inside joke: KoKo and Kong. For my friend the actuarial and his wife: Buck and Penny. For my sister and her Scotch-Irish husband: Thistle and Kiltie.

Oh, I could go on for days, but you get the gist of it, I'm sure. Is it a little dorky? Sure, but it's still fun.

And if anyone is up for some fun, it's Buzz and Honi. ; )
