Why daltongirl?

It may seem obvious with my last name being Dalton and all, but I thought I'd share a photo of a poster that I saw last week on our vacation. We stopped at this little visitor information center to eat lunch, and inside there was a museum dedicated to all the movies that had been made in that area (Kanab, Utah). Lo and behold, there was a poster of the 1957 classic, The Dalton Girls. Don't you think it describes me perfectly? Bret sure does : ) I had no idea things got so racy back in 1957.

What's the blog title about?

In 2010 I came across a series of vintage booklets entitled "Amy Vanderbilt Success Program for Women" (copyright 1965) at a thrift store. I didn't look inside any of them: the titles and cover art were funny enough that I had to have them. And it didn't hurt that I got four booklets for 25 cents. My favorite was "How to be a more interesting woman." Who could pass that up?

A few days later I started to look through the book for a laugh, and found myself almost immediately absorbed by the author's wisdom and wit. She made some good points . . . she made a lot of good points. This was something I could use, for who doesn't want to be more interesting? And here in my hands was a surprisingly progressive manual on how to do it.

So, in my newfound quest to be more interesting, I thought I'd use this forum to try things out and reflect on my efforts. In short, I hope to become the kind of person that continues to flower and grow.
