Lexi, I hope it's ok, but been fascinated by some of the screen names, and wondering what is behind them, lol! Any taker to tell us why that name? Mine is kind of obvious and self explanatory...Boston is my basa, and discreet because i am involved in a discreet affair. Not quite crafty like some of the names here, lol!

Wish I had an interesting story! I got my name from when I initially signed up at Ivillage. It automatically took my email name, and added the 2003 all by itself. I think that when I found this place I was so out of it, I wasn't paying attention to stuff like that :-)



Still, I chose benska for a name because it was my mother's nickname for me....I didn't think that anyone else would have it!

Mine was just random initials and the date I lost my virginity ... to AP ... almost 20 years ago ... yes I remember ... yes it's corny ... but it seemed appropriate when signing up for this board ... :)

Mine's not too crafy, but appropriate for this board: it comes from the song "In Another's Eyes" about two peple who are having an affair with each other...

I started with browsing the boards.. and pretty quickly realized each A has its own challenges.. hence the nick.. it's so difficult sometimes not to use the phrase in a sentence (too weird to me if I did) while I am posting...

I have been on a wonderful weight loss journey over the last 2 years and have lost a total of 118lbs so far....few more to go...and have become and at least feel that I am now pretty HOT...and a Mom

This is my 2nd time on the weight loss journey - the first time I ended up in a A with my best friend....and now here I am again in another A which I just ended...and starting my 3rd....

Hence I am one very Confuzed Hot Mama :) But loving it completely! This was such a great topic...as you often wonder where or how the names are chosen.

Purple is my favorite color and I love the rain & since I've been in this affair as crazy as I'am for AP I feel it rains alot in my heart. The 007 well you know I'm a secret agent of course ;).



I love the creativity of the names here! Wishing everyone a wonderful weekend =).



 


Much peace & Love,


Rayne

Wow...very interesting to hear all the meanings and stories behind everybody's nickname! Now, I feel out-done in terms of creativity and craftiness, lol! Happy Friday to all of you.

And, oh...we are meeting for lunch today.
