25 random things about Lyndsey
1) I am 1/2 Greek and I mostly love it. My dad was born in Athens (we think?) and was adopted when he was a baby. My only qualms about being Greek are...a) in true Greek fashion, my nose is slightly
above average in size...and b) no matter how much I work out, my booty stays the same size! It will NOT shrink...
2) I was almost a Jessica. For eight months in my mom's belly I was "baby Jessica" until finally my aunt Pam *thank you!* told her Jessica was too popular and to name me Lyndsey instead. My mom came up with the spelling though. Also, I'm named after my biological grandmother whose name was Nikki (so Greek) and my middle name is Nicole.
3) I hate to clean but I love to organize. I would rather spend my afternoon alphabetizing the DVDs than actually dusting them. I cannot wait until we can get a cleaning lady! Shallow but true.
4)My biggest fear is not being able to have children.
5) However, I have always had a strong desire to adopt. Hopefully we can do both.
6) I can no longer watch scary movies. I used to love a good thriller, but now I guess I think to deeply about them and will have horrific nightmares if I see one. I even change the channel if a preview comes on TV.
7) If I didn't care about my weight, I would eat mac-n-cheese everyday.
8) My favorite articles of clothing are my Men's Hanes v-neck t-shirts. You can buy them in six packs at Target and I wear them
all the time. In fact, the last two pictures of myself I've posted have been in those shirts. And I'm wearing one right now.
9) I really hope at least one of our children gets my brown hair and Will's blue eyes. It's my favorite color combo, thank you Gilmore Girls.
10) On a class trip to Vicksburg, MS in fifth grade, a group of us got in trouble for talking too much (I was and am a bit of a Chatty Cathy) and I had to go sit in the front of the bus with the teacher. I cried because I thought I was going to get a detention and then I wouldn't get into college. Because that's how it works.
11) I've never done drugs and I do NOT think Marijuana should be legalized.
12) I have recently grown very fond of Anthony Bourdain.
13) I'm no artist but I am always doing something creative. I spent two months working on mine and Will's wedding video and I'm currently working on my own esty site, stay tuned!
14) I've never broken a bone, gotten stitches, or even gotten a bee sting. I'm pretty reserved.
15) I really like the feeling of shooting a gun and I plan on getting my certified handgun license one day.
16) I've never lived outside the DFW metroplex and don't intend to. I do however love to travel and have a loooong list of places to go. Top 3: Greece, Italy, Maine/Vermont
17) Will and I are building a house. Read previous post. I'm ecstatic!
18) Will asked me out for the first time over text message. I still don't let him live it down.
19) I share my birthday with my sister-in-law Jennifer. And MTV.
20) I have chased Toula down the street in my bra before when she escaped out the door. I had a dog get run over by a car in highschool and am so overly protective of Toula now that I get really panicky and do things like not take time to put on a shirt if she runs outside. She doesn't go ANYWHERE without a leash.
21) I
loved being an Art History major and don't regret my choice, but somedays I wish I had chosen a path that may have actually led to a career. At least I know a lot about Michelangelo.
22) I found out I got into Baylor accidentally while checking my application status online. I was really happy, but when I got my letter a few weeks later it was pretty anticlimactic. I wish I had applied to more school so I could have had the experience of
opening the letter.
23) I love going to the movies but I hate movie candy. So I sneak my own in. It's cheaper and the grocery stores have a better selection. Haribo cherries? Yes, please!
24) I have gotten at least four speeding tickets in my life. And I have an affinity for backing into things....trashcans, other cars. I prefer to ride in the passenger seat.
25) I am not afraid of heights but I am
terrified of rollercoasters. I am convinced I will fall out and plunge to my death.
Now let's see if I can convince Will to do this...
xo, Lynds
