Hello, hello!!
Sorry for being such a lazy blogger lately! It’s actually been nice to completely put the blog out of my head this last week and take a bit of a mental vacay. Of course, it eventually called me back, as always. I swear I start to get a little twitch when I go without blogging for too long! 
Last week, my friend Shauna tagged me in this lovely Q&A post! I figured it was about time that I got around to responding, so here it goes!

11 Facts About Lindsay
1. I grew up hating most veggies. Pretty sure broccoli was the only thing my mom could successfully feed me on a regular basis.
2. I really want to travel once I can afford to. There isn’t anywhere I wouldn’t want to go see.
3. I did ballet from 6th grade until I graduated high school. I miss it sooo much.
4. I actually met my boyfriend at my dance studio, when we were in 8th and 9th grade, although we didn’t start dating until 10 years later! (He wanted me to note that he was not a dancer; he was dating another dancer at the time.)
5. We almost didn’t buy Arlo. I was in love, but he was $300. The most expensive Humane Society dog I’ve ever seen! I got into the car to leave, looked at Keenan and said, “I can’t leave him here!” We went right back into the store and we got him. He would have ended up going home with the foo-foo old lady behind us if we hadn’t gone back. He fits in with us so incredibly well, and is a major part of our family. Best $300 I ever spent! (Sorry that my fact turned into a narrative!)
6. The only shade of pink that I like is hot pink, but I love hot pink.
7. I have a Marilyn Monroe calendar in my kitchen. <3
8. My favorite place that I’ve ever visited was southern France in the middle of summer. The Meditteranean is the most amazing shade of turquoise.
9. For some reason I’m terrified of turning 25 this year.
10. I still have my icicle lights up around my sliding glass doors. They’ve made the transition from Christmas decor to winter decor. I just love their glow too much to let them go yet.
11. This is the first time in six years that I haven’t completely hated the snow. Somehow I made peace with it this year. As long as I manage to stay safe going to and from work, I will choose to just enjoy the serene beauty of the snow!
Questions from Shauna
1. Do you like crunchy or creamy peanut butter more? Creamy!
2. Dogs or cats? (Or bunnies, like me!) Dogs. But mostly just Arlo.
3. You have one day, one chance, to do something awesome and not fail. What is it? Maybe dance in the Nutcracker again (I’ve been in it 7 times). I have weird dreams about it sometimes where I’m about to perform, but don’t have my costume and haven’t been to any rehearsals. It’s a bit strange.
4. What is your worst habit? Not picking up after myself. I am a huge slob. I’m working on it though.
5. What is your favorite dessert? Ice cream. Or cheesecake.
6. Who is your role model, or someone you look up to? Kris Carr is one of my big role models. She’s so positive and inspiring, and her book is what finally turned me off of animal products.
7. Which year was your best birthday? 24 was pretty awesome. We had a party at our old apartment in Bremerton. It was a great night.
8. What is your favorite thing about your significant other, or, which trait is a deal breaker for you? I love that we’re such good friends. We have fun just hanging out, or doing just about anything together.
9. What is your favorite color? Burgundy.
10. Show me where your dream vacation would be.
11. Which animal would you want to be and why? A housecat, because you lie around and nap in sunbeams all day, and your people feed you twice a day. Take about care free!
