Hey everyone....I had a curious thought. How did you choose your handle (nickname) for this website? What's the history behind it? For me, it has been an email addy from college when I finally moved out of the house (suburbs) to Chicago. My full name is Michelle and I've always been called Mich by my family for short...so that's me...how about you?!?

    I think mine is a bit self explanatory, lol.

    I have a slight (huge? :laugh: ) obsession with the color pink.

    I really dislike thinking up names for websites, cause I can never find something I like that I feel is unique enough. I liked the sound of this one when I thought of it, however, so there it is. :wink:

    My actual name is Kimberly Jo. When I first started dating my now husband, he for some reason started calling me kimmerly and it just kinda stuck!

    "The Go Getter" is a great book by Peter B. Kyne and I encourage all the business owners I train to read it. Although, John Maxwell is my personal all time favorite author!!!

    :embarassed:

    The word russia, in Russia, means RED, and that is the (current) color of my hair (and has been for years). It was also a 'stage name' while I pole danced for a year.

    Plus the number of my RL addy.

    I wasn't really thinking when I signed up, so mine is my last name, first initial. Once I come up with something original I will change it :tongue:

    One day, when our daughter was about 1.5 years old, my husband and i were telling her how much we loved her and she replied with what sounded like "ift cheiaf". that became our family word for "I love you" and everything it encompasses.

    When I first starting dating my fiance, then boyfriend, I was in my phase of making cupcakes...experimenting with different flavors, decorations, etc. I'd make them for my work, his work, bring them to parties, give them out as gifts...etc. He thought it was so cute that I made little baby cakes for everyone...so from that he just started calling me his little babycakes and has been calling me that for 3 years now...it's grown on me.

    I just wanted to be called babycakes, but that name was already taken. I added the 17 to represent my birth date. :)
