I've figured out how they came up with the spelling for the volcano in Iceland that erupted.  A couple of people way back when were confused as to what call this huge mound of Earth that was in front of them.  So, they decided to on the count of 3 blurt out a letter.

"On the count of 3 blurt of the first letter that comes to mind, ok?"

"Yes, master" Hehe, I just had to add that.

"Ok, 1...2...8! Haha, got you guys! You totally thought I was going to say 3 didn't ya?! Ok, for real now."

"Master, stop playing let's name this huge mound of Earthly goodness."

"Ok, 1....2.................3!"

"E! Y! J! A! F! J! A! L! L! A! J! O! K! U! L! L!"

"Er, did somebody write those letters down?"

"Yes, master.... here are the letters that were yelled out, e,y,j,a,f,j,a,l,l,a,j,o,k,u,l,l."

"Ok, so Mister Earthly Mound will be called Eyjafjallajokull."

Yes, and that's how I believe the volcano came to be named. Seriously, try pronouncing it.  I was whispering it trying to pronounce it last night and my husband started screaming thinking that I was trying to talk in tongues again.

Kidding, totally kidding. I don't talk in tongues, never had, and have no desire to. Haha.

All European airlines are now flying again which is so nice! Hopefully, Eyjafjallajokull's little friend volcano won't erupt and cause further chaos.

But, if so I will take in all the extra time I can get with Steven before I have to go back home :-)
