How to rock the pancake

"Rocking the pancake" is a figure of speech I invented one evening, coming back from a sumptuous Valentine's Day dinner with my husband.  Swaying in my seat, beaming with contentment, and feeling more than a little boozily blissful after two excellent cocktails, I suddenly blurted out, "I'm rocking the pancake!"

"You're... what?"  He asked, concern tinging his voice.

"I'm rocking the pancake!"  I declared it with verve and grandeur, like the beauteous phrase it was.

And so it stuck.  I don't know where my brain got it, I just know that it did.

To my mind, "rocking the pancake" means you're doing awesomely and just generally being awesome (my natural state, of course).

A few usage examples:

1. Just got a good grade? "I'm rocking the pancake!"
2. Code just compiled? "I'm rocking the pancake!"
3. Daylong baking experiment turns out to be a ravishing success? (Anyone? No? Just me?)  "I'm rocking the pancake!"

A friend mentioned that she imagines me doing air guitar with a pancake on my head when I say this.  I have to agree that this is the only appropriate accompaniment.  No other ones will do.

In all seriousness, it's tough to find a good name for a blog, especially one that may or may not be about Feelings.

I don't think I'll always be writing about Feelings-with-a-capital-F (or even feelings-with-a-lowercase-f), but it's nice to have a place to post these things anyway.  We'll see how it goes.

Until then, keep on rocking the pancake, my friends.  Preferably while doing air guitar with a pancake on your head.
