Blogging is harder than it looks, but here's how I got my title.

Who knew that blogging was going to be so hard? I have plenty to say, but just getting my blog set up has been a serious learning curve. There are so many options about what you want to see and who you want to see your stuff, then there are colors and fonts and layouts. You also have to pick a name for your blog that isn't stupid and sort of sums up what you want to say or the point that you want to get across. I realize that the name of my blog seems a little odd, but i gave it a lot of thought. Here's how I got to the name Infinite Elephants. One day when we were doing some sort of demo on our house, which if you don't already know about you will soon learn, my father-in-law was here to help us. I believe that I made a comment similar to "I don't know how we're going to get this done". It was then that I heard him say "It's like eating an elephant, you just do it one bite at a time". Now I know that that is an old statement, the origin of which is unknown, but I had never heard it before and it really stuck with me. It made perfect sense and seemed applicable to my life in general.  I'm always trying to finish something. At first, I thought that perhaps my elephant had an eating disorder causing it to gain weight at a rate equal to if not greater than my speed of eating. Then I thought that maybe my elephant just had regenerative powers, and that was why I never seemed to finish my to-do list. Then it hit me! I don't have just one elephant. I do finish projects, I just always have more to take their place. It's like I have "infinite elephants".
