hey mr. landlord, my name isn't hannah.


holly, hannah, hailey 

Either he is:
1: dyslexic
2: or he refuses to believe that the name is, in fact, hallah.

the second seems more likely. I mean this is utah, we tend to stick with the more basic names. 
but then there is me. half black & named hallah.  
people are like "haaaalllllaaaaahhh. hallah back & hallah hallah.  girl you from the hood?"
and me, in my high ponytail, bright lipstick, and floral cardigan all calm and collected//from the hood// says "no, no i am not".

//but if I was from the hood and didn't have this lipstick on you maybe, most likely, would have been slapped  in the face//

19 years of having this name, the jokes may be getting old people.
i would love to hear the new material. 

Three things I love about my house:

1: it's quite with no neighbors on the other side of the wall.
2: i can jump up and down when im happy and slam doors when i am mad. without the fear of rattling the neighbors shelves.
3: its going to be our house in 2 1/2 months. //this one is my favorite//

  4. That is too funny! I love unique names! I had a teacher that never knew my name. I look like another girl in my class and her name is Bailey. I was always called Bailey. Uncool! Anywho, your blog is adorable! :)
    Feel free to come visit me over at my blog! Maybe we could do a little button swap!

    XOXO

  6. Your name is beautiful. I named my first child n only daughter Hallah. I found it and maybe it wasn't pronounced Hallah but it was spelled hala n came from Africa meaning unexpected gift. My niece who's.2 yrs older is Hannah and my cousin 1 yr old than Hallah is Hailey n I have been told I messed everything up with Hallah bc when they their all together its a tongue twister..(as a joke of course)...my dads side of my family disowned me bc they thought she was biracial which she wasn't but if u look at my youngest son they are practically twins same skin color..she always said she was tan n my boys say they r mocha n cocoa. I dnt think race plays a part n names but sum r assholes n have an old way of thinking n maybe ur landlord is just being a ass. Bit dnt let it get to u. I'm sure u r beautiful bc almost all biracial ppl r. Im married to my best friend n I tell my boys they have the best of both worlds blk n white n that is the whole truth. I'm sure ur going to b very successful bc there is something that's powerful in the name Hallah.
