As you may remember, I have three cats. While we were stuck in an apartment before moving into our house all cats were indoor only out of necessity. Even with frequent walks on a leash, there were times when my boy-cat would go nuts and start yowling and racing around the house; generally causing chaos and domestic disputes with the other cats. My H would jokingly threaten to turn him into a sandwich if he didn't calm down. So then we starting referring to him as sandwich-cat which devolved into sammichcat.

My initials in the Army's phonetic alphabet...except that would be CharlieFoxtrot which is used as slang for cluster fuck so... I shortened it, lol.

Mine is the nickname for my dog, which is not even remotely close to his actual name.

Mine was robotpcr on TB. It’s related to what I do career-wise but that shortened to robot over here.

I used my two black cats as an inspiration for a new name when we moved here.
I was josim on TB and TCF...too close to my real name and triangulation fears etc.

My dogs name is Bentley and we called him Bentley Sue (my mom's MN, she joked one time about having grandkids named after her, so it was a joke that we called him this but it stuck). When DD first started talking she couldn't say his name and called him Bebby. So bebbysue was born.

So waaayyyy back in the early 2000s I used to pay Animal Crossing on Game Cube with my mom (cool right?). Chriskoo was my name on that, for reasons I don't remember. I've used chriskoo for TB, TCF, etc since.

Daffodils are my favorite flower. And my blood (when not pregnant) is probably 75% coffee. It gives me a reason to love. And right now it makes me sick. 😭

Mine is my first name and part of my last name. I know, super creative. I realize that most people read it like Jessica but with an L which it isn't actually.

DH and I were married in Hawaii. mau loa means forever in Hawaiian. One of my favorite books I bought DS is Love You Forever by Robert Munsch. I always tell him that as long as he's living my baby he'll be and as long as I'm living his Mommy I'll be. So it's a combination of those two - Forever Mom.

I don’t think I’ll ever be able to read that book to V, I cry every time I read it. Even thinking about it makes me tear up, especially knowing the story behind why he wrote it.

I ran a blog for a while and "rebranded" from my previous name to tiny joys during a slight "dark" time, where finding the "tiny joys" in each day helped a lot.

One of my favorite books has always been The Perks of Being a Wallflower. My aunt suffers from the same type of dissociative disorder that the main character ends up having in the book so I've always felt connected to it. Anyway, he ends all his letters in the book with Love Always, Charlie. So I did that but with my name. Lol because I am a nerd.
