More Phinkalinkalinks
ok - this is (hopefully) my last blog about phinkalinkalinks. i had a couple of people ask me about this word - where it came from, why i use it and what it means. as i stated in a previous blog it is what i call the "PH" stuff that is in diet soft drinks, sweet & low and many other things. It is not good for you - but I found out it is in my vitamin C.
Why do I use this word? I use it because I can not pronounce the "ph" stuff (see previous blog to find full spelling of the "ph" word). Plus, I like to say phinkalinkalinks.
Where did this word come from? I must give props where props are due. This fun word to say came from my brother - Joe (I'll introduce him later). During one of my mom's visits here to Auburn, i was having a conversation with my mom and my brother about medications, vitamins, things to stay away from (that you eat and drink), etc....... my brother had bought some gum (or something) and it had "ph" in it. he said "Wow, my gum has phinkalinkalinks in it!" I had never heard this word and thought it was funny. I had him repeat it several times so I could understand what he was saying.
that is the origin of the word - phinkalinkalinks (I promise - i will try not to use this word again... especially in the title)

10 Years
Glen and I just celebrated our 10 year anniversary - on July 18, 2008
For our anniversary, we decided to take a vacation.... we have travelled to other countries before so we decided to travel somewhere here in the US. I decided on Chicago since I have never been there before. Glen was completely excited about going since he grew up there, still had a couple of family members there and had not been back in several years. Our trip was for 9 days... I spent months planning where we were going to stay and what we were going to do. We stayed at The Drake Hotel in downtown chicago. This hotel is amazing with a very rich history. We went to every museum and exhibit we could during this vacation. We figured it would be awhile before we had the opportunity to come back. The 2 things we enjoyed the most was an architectural boat tour on the river and going to see Cirque Du Soleil. If you ever have the opportunity to see one of their shows - you must go!! We purchased the Tapas Rouge tickets which is VIP and is well worth it! Anyway - here are some photos from our trip!

Is it really All About Me?
So - the title of my blog is "It's all about me" but is it really? This blog IS about me - to write about my thoughts and feelings and what is going on in my life. Part of my life is my family and friends. So I want to introduce you to my family. (one member at a time)
My husband, Glen, and I met 11 years ago - I actually remember the night we "officially" met. It was October 17 1997. I remember because my birthday is on October 18 and I was out with some friends at a local bar celebrating my bday that night.
glen and i just celebrated our 10 year anniversary. He is my best friend. I could not imagine life with anyone else.
Glen is originally from Chicago (actually Libertyville – a suburb or Chicago). He moved to the small town of Heber Springs Arkansas when he was in high school and then came to Auburn for college. After graduating from Auburn University, he started working as a police officer for the university and then a year later, for the city of Auburn. He is no longer working as a police officer… not because he didn’t enjoy it but because during one of our several moves, financially it just wasn’t possible – as that particular area only paid about minimum wage to officers. I think he misses being an officer but he does enjoy not working nights, weekends, and holidays – and most importantly, he doesn’t have to work during football games. Here in Auburn, if there is a home football game – all officers have to be working. I would not want to work during a football game either!
