ABC's of Me

Okay, so I know it has been AGES since I have been on here. I figured I would make a little comeback with some information about me! Hope all has been well! :)


Age: 21

Bed size: Queen/Twin

Chores that you hate: Dishes. UGH!

Dogs: Oy. I suppose I'm a little on the picky side with the dogs that I actually do like (it's pretty few and far between) but with the loss of Dot this year, L and I are seriously considering getting a dog as soon as his lease is up. Or talking the landlord into letting us have a dog there?

Essential to start your day: Ha! I guess I have to just lay there and visualize the things I'm thankful for while simultaneously stretching my body every which way? I used to try and get all of my emails checked before getting up, but have a little technical difficulty going on with my blackberry...

Favorite color: absolutely green.

Gold or silver: silver.

Height: 5 feet 2 inches. Maybe 3 now... I am convinced I have grown.

Instruments you play: I sing and used to play the flute. I could probably pick up instruments fairly easily and really want to be able to play the banjo, ukelele, mandolin, and guitar! 

Job title: Full-Time Student and Resident Assistant

Kids: I love them. Obsessed with them. Can't wait to have them... and lots of them please!

Live: I live for happiness. For the sheer gratitude that I am given the chance to experience life. For my friends and family. For L. For advocating for those who cannot.

Mothers name: Tammy

Nicknames: Lexy. ZA. Lex. Lexicon. Lexzilla. Lexmonster. Twinnie. Babe.

Overnight hospital stays: None that I can recall.

Pet peeves: Lack of respect. Rudeness. Presumptuous and Condescending people. Mean-Spirited anything. The sound it makes when a banana is being eaten. 

Quote from a movie or TV show: 
"Gus: Well, it's not like you're one thing or the other, okay? There's still a kid inside but you grow up when you decide to do right, okay, and not what's right for you, what's right for everybody, even when it hurts.
Lars Lindstrom: Okay, like what?
Gus: Like, you know, like, you don't jerk people around, you know, and you don't cheat on your woman, and you take care of your family, you know, and you admit when you're wrong, or you try to, anyways. That's all I can think of, you know - it sound like it's easy and for some reason it's not."

-Lars and The Real Girl on growing up
Right or lefty: Right

Siblings: I have two younger sisters, Jessica and Kayla.

Time you wake up: It sure depends on the day!

Underwear: Love to buy them-- hate to wear them.

Vegetable you hate: Oooh. I don't think I hate any vegetable. With me it's more of a texture thing- can't be too mushy or too crunchy. Or gushy like eating a plain tomato. No thanks.

What makes you run late: When I can't find something I want to wear. 

X-rays you've had: Teeth. Wrist. Back.

Yummy food you make: I think I can make anything well if a recipe is available! :)


Zoo animal: I love penguins. And puffins. And elephants. And hippopotamuses. And monkeys.

sometimes it seems like life is just coming down on everyone.
i wish that things would just slow down.
that they would be happy and full of love.
and that's it.

No man needs a vacation so much as the person who has just had one. ~Elbert Hubbard

I'm home.
And trying to get back into the swing of things.
things have been speeding up, yet at the same time slowing down.

i've been busy adding another job to my plate as the hurdling coach once again, on top of being an RA and working at Gap. Still trying to figure out what my plans for the summer are, and how in the world I can incorporate some more traveling into my life. I really do have a gypsy soul.

Here's a little taste of what I experienced this past week (more to come):

Sometimes...

... I get out of control and buy things like two pairs of converse shoes:








































The End.

The air of change is a-blowin'...


Disclaimer: I know that I look kinda funny in this picture, but I was trying to snap a photo before running into work. The red jacket isn't really making for a lovely photo with my huge red lippies. Oh well!

Love love love!
