1. Making my ten top things all food items (I could totally do that, btw- and probably will on my personal blog, if I get bored enough, which I will)
2. Making my ten top things people (+Malibu, cat)
3. Making my top ten things kitchen appliances (y'all started it, with this tupperware thing...)
But for real, here's my REAL list:
1. Truth - Yes, I know what you're thinking. Super huge, super intangible, super vague. But not really. I love love love the knowledge that is literally AT MY FINGERTIPS as I open lds.org and search for a talk, or open my Scriptures. And I really do love the clarity that comes when I feel and recognize that I am reading pure, unadulterated truth.
3. People - I love to meet new people and be around people. They energize me. I like to get to know people and find out what really makes them tick. I like to make them laugh, and laugh with them. I like to learn from others. There is a lot of divine in every person. I love discovering that over and over again.
4. Hip-Hop dancing - Some of you may not know this, but if I'm in a bad mood, one of the big things that can get me out of it is DANCING. I love to dance. I love to dance to hip-hop music. It must be the Durham in me.
5. Running in beautiful places - also something that brings me a lot of joy and keeps me happy. I love enjoying nature while running. I love the rhythmic pound of my feet on the pavement. I love running alone. I love my heart beating and feeling like I'm alive. I love contemplating and pondering while running. I love feeling like I can run forever. And I also love that it gives me an extra boost of Seratonin. <3
6. Smiles - Tangible sunshine...or shall I say...contagious sunshine? Anyone?
7. Photography - My mega-awesome (FUTURE) nice camera - *Can I include things I dont' own yet, but hope to in the future?* I love to take pictures. I love to capture memories. I love to capture feelings.
8. Road Biking - If you didn't know this about me, I've already written a blog post about how much I love road biking.
9. Bright Colors- (clothing). I love to wear bright colors. If you know me at all, you'll know that I have a few pairs of shoes that are magenta, and I love to wear lots of bright colors (ok maybe not this bright, but you get my point).
10. Wendy's Junior Bacon Cheeseburger after fasting- Maybe it's because as a young Hatchling, we went to Wendy's on "special days" to eat as a family (this was pre-Souper Salad), I don't know...but every once in a while, I like to indulge myself and go get a Junior Bacon Cheeseburger. I have to use this logo, because none of the pictures do the BLT justice. ;)
Loved these gurl. Didn't know that you were a JBC fan, though. . . I love me a good JBC! You should work on your granny smile-- you've almost got it down to "contagious sunshine" level. And remember how you're not supposed to post about church? It makes the rest of us look materialistic and un-spiritual. Gurl, you know I love you and your 10 favorite things.
ReplyDeleteLindsey, I loved learning about your ten favorite things. I didn't know you liked bright colors. That should be a good clue for future gifts. I need to smile more so I can brighten your day. That's such an easy gift to give. I didn't know you liked hiphop dancing or peaches. Remind me to put frozen peaches on our next shopping list. Funny, how you think you know someone but there is always more to learn.
ReplyDeleteLove you! Mom
One of my favorite things about you is your love of truth! I love reading the gospel insights you post on your blog. Some people leave their missions behind, but you have managed to weave your testimony into your life and aren't afraid to share it. I love that! I didn't know you were a peach and JBC fan! I knew you loved people and that is one of my absolute fave things about you! I should have guessed you like bright colors from your stylin' wardrobe. I need to see you dance hip hop next time we skype!
