Most people think I am from Texas, because of the Alamo. I am not. I live next door to Texas, in New Mexico. My town is Alamogordo. In Spanish it means "fat cottonwood" Gordo-big or fat Alamo-cottonwood (tree)
My name is Anne. I didn't want to be Anne of FAT, so I went with the first part of my town's name. I have had this name for 15 years. I use it for emails and ordering. Picking up pizza once, the man called me Anne OffaLLamOH!
My family laughs at it. I once jokingly told a lady our town was named after my family. She believed me. I am Anne of Alamo.
I had a facebook account as Anne Ofalamo. Facebook wanted proof it was my real name. So, I used my photoshop skills, and altered my birth certificate. As far as Facebook is concerned, I am legally Anne Ofalamo!
I have been on over 50 creative teams over the past 10 years. At one time, I had 20! Being a Polly for the Lily Pad is all I need now!
The tree represents the Alamo of my name and they hold a few of the blinkies I had for my crazed time as a CT hoarder. I put on as many of the designers and stores, I was creating for on the tree. Crazy but true! lol
