realise par AmyLyn

Yea!  It's my blog!  The first part of it's title, 'realise par..', is a bit of a joke. If I could actually put the 'accent ague' over the two letter 'e's' in the word 'realise' the entire expression would mean 'directed by' in French, but since the American English...all English!...keyboards are so limited I ended up naming my blog "realized by AmyLyn" which I think is a funny example of life as a whole.  We start off trying to be in control and direct but in the end would count ourselves as lucky if we can 'realize' a bit of what's going on.  Yes, it's definitely funny!!!
So, here is the first entry and the awesome thing that created my awesome blogging blog : )!  All the way from www.dictionary.com it's the definition of the word 'gamut' because the etymology is AMAZING!  It actually tells us from whence "do, re, mi, fa, sol, la, ti...do!" comes from!!! Including the entire latin text of the original hymn!  Definitely something I would always want to remember, and all because I want to use the word 'gamut' in my resume...'resume' being another example of not being able to use the 'accent ague'!  I'm in a blogging blog spiral!  What a great first entry! <3ALE<3
