Lessley! I loved your list!! I couldn't believe you don't think you are fashionable!! I was just thinking about you the other day...and thinking the complete opposite!! You always look great...and so does your make-up!! At least you take the time to put it on!! ha ha (I'm way too lazy...) I loved Frontier Pies, too!! You should go skydiving with Gina and Heather!! That would scare me too death!! I told Heather last night that we should get a group to go to that cool place up in Ogden, where they do flight simulation....where you literally fly. I think it looks awesome....and I wouldn't be so scared to splat all over the pavement or some field in the middle of nowhere. ha ha Anyway, I think you're fabulous!! I loved reading about you, and I'm getting more nervous to finish mine. I'm just not that interesting. I'm having a hard time getting done.... See, I guess we have the procrastination thing, and then the anxiety thing in common, too...huh?? Love you!!

Less,
I gotta tell ya that I'm all for the "going to the bathroom is a pure watse of time" I truly thought I was the only person who thought that! Now, when are you going to post some house pictures so I can see all that you painted? I'm sure it lovely!

Lindsay said...

I laughed at the "man hands" because I HATE my hands, I have man hands too, and I disagree, you are totally fashionable! LOVED getting to know you better, and thanks for your comment regarding J :)

I loved reading your 100 list. So fun. I think you are always in fashion. And now I want to know your maiden name. What a fun list. I learned a lot about you.

Stephanie F. said...

Love you list Lessley! I thought I was too scared for Lasik too, did it in May of last year. I so should've done it earlier! You are SO good at decorating cakes, really, a pro (well I only saw pictures of the one you did for Dallin but I was VERY impressed)! I'm completely terrified of public speaking too! I'll make a list someday :)

Anne Marie said...

Lessley, I loved reading all these things about you! I am with you 100% on the caramel thing. In fact, on my list I was going to say that I think caramel is straight from heaven and then I forgot to put it on. But I'm glad to know you like it, now next time I make a caramel treat I'll have to run some over to you. I also miss Frontier Pies (is there still one in Salt Lake by the U?) and I have always thought that you have such pretty eyes!!! I also love driving by the hospital because it reminds me of when I had my kids. And count me in on the skydiving trip! I have always wanted to do that!

Okay, so I LOVED LOVED your 100 list! I love reading those-they are my favorite blogs to read! I have actually been working on my list. I decided awhile ago that I want that to be my first "blog post," or whatever you call it! Next week Alish said we are setting it up before she moves, so we'll see! But anyway....back to yours....I loved it and actually had tons of things in common with yours. And I'm with you about something happening to your kids-that is the WORST thought! (or husband too) I'm like you-I never like to be away from Aaron long, either. And like everyone else I think you are WAY fashionable. I have always thought that. And yet you don't seem "high maintenance" either. And when you wrote about pasta it reminded me of the yummy pasta you brought over after my baby-it was so good! Okay, sorry for the way long post! You are awesome Lessley! :)

Shauna said...

I LOVED finding out more about you. Thanks for posting your "my 100". You are so funny! As I read your comments I kept thinking, "yes, that sounds like me", or "I do that". Fun!

Gina said...

Hey Lessley...wow we really do have a lot in common. I wonder if it is because we both are the only girls in our family. I've always wanted a sister too, we'll just have to adopt eachother!! And the tomboy thing...it wasn't until I had my first girl that I broke that, but I still have tomboy tendencies. OK...so it's on, you, me, Heather and AnneMarie are all going sky diving (and Carrie can be at the bottom just in case one of us needs to be caught!!). Hey I have a great girls trip idea...we can go across the country and stop at all the Targets, wouldn't that be the best?? Feel free to call or email when you get a good deal...I feel the rush!! You are so great Lessley and I love you to death!!

Hubba's Thoughts said...

Hey there!! That was a lot of fun to read.. You really perked my interest when I read #46 and made me laugh on #64. I laugh because I know you would never do that and can only imagine your frustration... Have a great night!!

Andrea said...

That was great! I feel like I know you so much better now! I love this 100 list and just for the record, I think you dress great and I love your hair, but I allready told you that!

janae said...

I just think you are way too modest. I think you are beautiful and it was fun learning more about you. I have loved reading everyone's 100 lists. I think I will post mine next week. I have man hands too. That's why I get my nails done. I played the violin about the same amount of time as you. Now my daughter is taking and it's fun to play with her. Probably won't be long until she passes up my abilities.

Lessley, I just have to tell you that I have a blog!!!! And I hope you don't care because I totally had to link yours to mine! But I want to send you an invitation and I can't find your e-mail....So if you e-mail me your info I'll send you an invitation right back....IF you want to, no pressure if not! But if you want to, then click on my name and my e-mail comes up. Thanks Lessley! I missed you the other night and hope you are doing okay :)

rain said...

I enjoyed reading your 100. For some reason things like that are so interesting to read....they give you information that you'd never really find out in a simple conversation. Here's my 411 on the "I yell at Eli, and then feel guilty about it": It's a mother's job to feel guilt at least 98% of the time. And that other two percent is when we need to totally concentrate on ourselves...like in the bathroom or something. Anyhoo...I tagged you, so go to my blog to see how it works. Or don't, whatever you feel like. It's NOTHING to feel guilty about. :)

carrie said...

Hey you! I miss your posts...and you!! :o)

It's great to learn more about you. I'll also pass on the skydiving.

Your daughter is adorable too!

Okay well everyone else has said it, but I love your list too. Count me with the "going to the bathroom is a waste of time" esp now that I have a kid who can't let me be for the 20 seconds it takes. I used to want a catheter so I just I didn't have to go potty all the time.

Although, I must say, I love pineapple, we have a lot in common. I would love to do work with foster kids.
