"Got Mup?" Explained!

Ok, so for those of you who don't know, which is pretty much anyone outside of my very immediate family (even some of my "somewhat" immediate family doesn't know) you wonder what "mup" means. Ok, so here's the story.

(For those of you who don't know and just for future blog reference, I have 4 daughters--two from my previous marriage to Shawna: Madilyn (Mal) age 10, and Morgan (Mo) age 8, and now two with Nicole: Hailey (2 1/2) and Caitlin (just turned 1.)

Ok, so Hailey originally called her chocolate milk, "mop"...then it became "mope"....then it became "mup" all with about a 2 week period....and mup has stuck ever since. Ok, some time later when the girls (Mal and Mo) were over here, Hailey asked for mup... and out of nowhere, Mal just came out and said "got mup?" (you know, like the "Got Milk?" commercials / advertisements?) We all got a big kick out of that quick-witted comment coming from a 10-year-old....especially me! I thought it was hilarious! So anyway, I had my blog account started WAAAAAY back at the beginning of the year... back when I thought my blogging was just going to be simple rants about local (and some national) news stories and even "green" blogs about simple recycling and all that. Well, I didn't do any blogging at all until just recently when I really got irritated with, well, if you read my blogs, then you know what I get irritated by. ;-) And as far as my original blog "alias" before it became gotmup.blogspot.com I was thinking since I am such a Star Wars nut, I came up with something like jabbatheblog.blogspot.com...it was either that or bloggerthehut.blogspot.com but I figured that most people (outside of Star Wars fans) wouldn't have a clue what it meant. So I decided to come up with something else that wasn't Star Wars related...something that was a bit more special or meant more than just showing I was a Star Wars fan. So after thinking of several different ideas (most of which were really not that good to begin with) I remembered Mal saying "Got Mup?" and so I decided to go with that. Granted, "got mup" really has nothing to do with my blog itself, but at least now you know how I came up with it.
