Why "Muse?"

     The dictionary talks about The Muses - goddesses who inspired the arts.  (Calliope is the muse of music, for instance, and  that's very cool.) But once we get past the goddess thing, which I definitely am NOT, we have several definitions for "muse" that do apply to this blog and my ambitions.  To muse is to speak thoughtfully and a muse can be a source of inspiration.  To muse is to chew over, contemplate, or to mull.  Also to cogitate, ruminate, think and dream.  The best description, possibly, is that "muse" is from the Middle English "to mutter."  And there you have it.  Metal Mom will muse or sometimes mutter about Food, Family, Fun, Fashion, the News or just Life, in general.  A word of warning.  I love words!  Therefore, I may even try once in a while to a-Muse. And you will groan appropriately.
