Beautiful Lindsay

This is a video of one of the most beautiful people, inside and out, that I have known in my entire life. She is the warmest girl you'll ever meet, she is incredibly smart, she's such an aware and attentive mom, she is a super friend, and then she is unbelievably talented at anything she takes up, anything she sets her mind to. She's seriously the best! Our family LOVES you Linds, and we wish you the best in your soccer endeavours!

100 Things to Know About Me.

1. I can't think of 100 things!

2. I have grandchildren and that is my favorite role other than my main roles (of wife & mom which is cool but a lot harder!) -I love every second of it!

3. Related to 2. Each of my 4 children has a child quota to fill, of 4 each which will net me 16 grandchildren:-) minimum. Thanks to Sarra, we are well on our way.

4. I love to watch cooking shows...curiously I don't love to cook, but if you don't like my cooking, I'll cry. It's a twisted emotional place for me.

5. I miss my dog Poppy, she left a hole in my heart.

6. I love Persian food, and a particular Persian who is a good cook, and is the cause of my low self esteem in this area.

7. I love poppies, for obvious reasons.

8. I love pansies, because my great-grandmother loved them, my grandmother and my mother, so I plant a bed of them every Spring.

9. I don't wear shoes unless it's -10 or more outside. The first hint of Spring and I am sockless and shoeless.

10. I have WONDERFUL kids that are thoughtful, loving, strong, intelligent, productive, and headed in the right direction - They are a source of pure joy.

11. I love to call it quits for the day and get all 'snuggldey buggledy' (as Jane and I say) to catch my DVR'd shows...Bill O'Reilly, ...or read.

12. I love to read. I flit about though...too many books on the go at once.

13. I love photos, scrapbooks, blogs, biographies...

14. My favorite color is yellow.

15. I haven't seen my true hair color since about 1987 or so...

16. I love Farmers Markets.

17. I love Opera

18. I love to sing in the car...but not opera.

19. I am a little bit flakey...I have improved with time.

20. I am an ace shopper. I mean the best.

21. I am a loving person.

22. I like pretty things, and will get rid of a perfectly functional thing just to put in it's place a prettier version.

23. I like to sew, quilt, draw, garden, and paint, but I go in phases and never do them all in the same phase.

24. I love yoga, it makes me feel so good.

25. I wish I had the discipline to work out every day.

26. I love the ocean, and can outlast any of my children in the water, even my surfers. We're talking hours.

27. I love to travel, and have to find a happy medium with my home loving husband.

28. The husband is my best friend. He really looks out for me on every level. I am safe and loved because of him.

29. My daughter is my other best friend...I can say that now b/c she is all grown up. There is no one that I would rather be with than my husband, or any one of my children (including in-law children!).

31. I like to research everything...this is no joke. I will find the best, most reviewed, top of the line...whatever, b/c I will spend inordinate amounts of time researching. I should be a Harvard scholar by now, however I've been researching pots and pans and supportive and cute shoes rather than the cure for cancer. Sigh.

32. I love to be a home based mom and wife. It's fun...I rule my world and it's such a privilege and a blessing - another reason to love my husband.

33. I used to consider myself a good speller, but with spell check going off every minute I am having doubts. Maybe it's just my horrendous typing.

34. I like to sleep, but it seems like such a waste of time...

35. I like to eat a bowl of thawed frozen blueberries with Greek yoghurt on them at night (with a few chocolate chips).

36. I never get up to eat in the night, unlike some others I could mention.

37. I like herbal tea.

38. There are a lot of things I wanted to do that it seems I may not get to...mostly due to my own limitations...like play the guitar, at least a little.

39. I don't really like ice cream any more...that is practically family heresy.

40. I am conservative...and therefore a Republican...even though it's grossly uncool.

41. I love handmade!

42. I am wicked good at driving in reverse, and parallel parking.

43. I like to do puzzles, including Sudoku, crossward, and traditional puzzles.

44. I really enjoy the afternoon light on the north side of my home. It's beautiful, every single day.

45. I am a night person.

46. I love color, so every single room in my house is a different color.

47. I have in inordinate amount of make up - again, it's about all the pretty colors!

48. I used to be able to long distance run.

49. I am very organized...materially, but not so much time time wise. Remember I said I was a little bit flakey?

51. I like to make jewelry, and will often take off the cheap ear ring wire and replace it with a silver wire at home.

52. I sew.

53. I am a bit of a germ freak, and have a dangly hand sanitizer hanging from my purse.

56. Someone once said that if you are not thin, then at least be soft. So I am soft.

57. I love my pugs.

59. I eat low carb.

60. I am interested in everything.
