My birthday is on July 3rd. When I was little, I always struggled because most of my friends would be out of town on my birthday. To make me feel better, my mom would tell me that the fireworks were for me. I realized they weren't really for me when I got a little older ;-)
I've always loved fireworks, and now our little baby is due on the Fourth of July!!

We are blending our families and I'm super excited about it, not too crazy creative. I'm waiting for the bump admins to delete my other account CMWhitney14 (created on the app forgetting what my old logon was)...
Calling @catahoulatte! You think no one cares, but it is not true. We are all actually internet stalking you, so come make it easier for us!
hahaha!! Thanks @kristhegirl! I like GTKY posts. I need to go through the rest and read everyones', or I'm missing the point, but my SN was originally kind of a joke-it was CatahoulaMom, and I changed it this summer to catahoulatte because there was a weird trend of mommy names being nuts around here. Catahoula is for my beautiful girl doggy.
When I started using this handle I was just out of college and working as a paralegal, and felt every inch the office drone at times, mostly when making a prep binder for the fifth time that day.
Even though I'm now an attorney and my work is a lot more interesting, given how much work rules my life, it still feels appropriate.
My avatar is from a New Yorker cover this summer. Given how much I love to read and that I am a New Yorker, it's perfection, though if you've never clicked on it, it's probably hard to see in the thumbnail size. Sometimes I worry people have no idea what it is but I love it too much to change it.
I've always read it as Office Dr. Onette. HA! @officedronette
Mine is my screen name from AOL instant messenger and my first email acct. I didn't really think about it when I signed up for the knot ages ago. Now I'm not sure it's worth the effort of changing.
Long story but it involved me bartending a lesbian night at a club.
@muffyvonmuff I can't WAIT for FFFC. Please tag me in yours!
Hah unfortunetley this lesbian story its not quite confession worthy. I bartend on weekends at a bar for the summers, once a week was lesiban night. It gets really busy and the DJ is loud not to mention all the customers know my name so I have to ignore it, but the cocktail severs needed a way to get my attention for their drinks. So one day I told them to just yell muff so i know one of them needs a drink. It went from muff to muffster, muffalupogus, muffinator then muffyvonmuff which was my fav. Theres more drunkeness of the night then led to it becoming my username but thats the gist.
Sorry it didn't involve a juicy lesbian affair, that story is for another day.
