“Freaky Frugalite.” Descriptive, catchy, sticks.
Long story! Wow!
I got my blog title from 2 Corinthians 3:18. I wanted to say that it was about my journey down this path of life, leading to eternal life, basically coming closer and closer to the image of Christ in me, being transformed into His image.
So, I became “the Other Alice” going through a different “looking glass.” :D

I love your blog name. I lived in New England for years, where we were all frugal (actually we were cheap, but frugal sounds classier). I created my blog after my website, so I just used the same name for my blog too. Although now I think I should make up a really good story since my story sounds so lame.

Thanks for the entertaining story. I like the current name a lot. I just wanted to point out a spelling mistake in the story, a replication of the spelling mistake on the application form, which confused me for a second while reading. You write After much discussion, I decided on “FrugalGoolgol.com” and explain the meaning of googol (when I was asking myself whether my eyes or my memory is bad) and then afterwards explain your misspelling on the application form where you state that you had wanted “FrugalGoogol” (not FrugalGoolgol).

What a great story – and a great idea. I always think mine is self-explanatory, but maybe it’s not.

Being the skeptical sort and the sarcastic sort, one of my everyday responses to life in general was, “yeah, right.” Kinda like, “oh, sure, I believe that.” *wink, wink* I didn’t realize how often I said it until a former pastor (!) picked up on it: i.e., “As Jean would say, ‘yeah, right.’”

So when I decided to join the blogging world, ignorant as I was and not knowing ANYBODY out there, one thing I didn’t have to think about was the name. That had already been chosen for me.
