Here are eight random facts about me, pretty much one of the most random people you'll ever meet!
1. My husband, Ben, and I have five fish: 3 goldfish named Bertha, SuperTrooper, and Crash Bandicoot AND 2 Bettas: his is Spike and mine is Magma
2. I completely adore the Roloff's and am saddened if I miss Little People Big World on a Monday night when the new episodes are on! And, if I could meet any celebrity, I would choose to spend a day on the Roloff farm chillin' with the fam.... just not during the fall because that trebechet thing scares me!!!
3. I decided to get crafty, and I made five fun polka-dotted pillows for the living room about a month ago! I made a small quilt to match and hung it on the wall. They might not be the most high-quality pieces of work, but dag on it, I made them myself and they are functional... the pillows at least!!
4. For the first 17 years of my life, I thought that my middle name was spelled differently than my mom spelled it on my birth certificate. I started spelling it the legal way, and it didn't go over really well with some of my dad's siblings... I got my own name corrected by them in grad cards and stuff! Give me a break! I didn't spell it that way on my birth certificate, and I was the one who had to deal with the harsh reality, in my late teens, that I had been spelling it wrong my whole life!!! (My mom spelled it Jeanett on my B.C. and I think I spelled it Jeannette growing up.... someone tell me how my grandmother spelled it!?!!) Making this long story short, I dropped it when I got married! No offense to my "name-sake," but the trauma of the spelling made me not so fond of it... It's bad enough people call me LindsAy
5. On the topic of name spellings, whenever I meet another Linds(a)(e)y, I immediately ask if she is an "ey." If she is, I think she is awesome, and if she is an "ay," I secretly think that her parents couldn't spell.... And, when new people are writing my name for the first time, I always spell it!!!
6. I am a little bit of a myspace/facebook/youtube/google addict. I am taking online classes at the moment and how sad is it that the internet distracts me from my internet classes!?
7. I love teaching and tutoring math. Math was my least favorite subject as a kid, and now I love teaching it!! I think it might be because I have learned all kinds of fun ways to teach concepts and I crave the "ah-hah" look on my students' faces, because I rarely had it as a child!!
8. I keep begging Ben to buy me a Nintendo Wii for Christmas. I am not your typical wife.... most of us want diamonds, but I am begging for a video game system! I do argue that it would be awesome when entertaining though! But then think about how crappy it would be if we made friends because of it!
There you go!

You are too cool...
I always thought Mom Mom's name was spelled with an "e" at the end but I could be wrong as I am getting old, forgetful and very ADD!
Terri
I want to know how you came to name each of your pets.
Just for the record I thought Mom mom's name was with an E too. I just think we are right and everyone else is wrong. LOL
Okay so if I do move back east will you tutor my kids in Algebra. I was a straight A student in
Geometry but a B/C student in Algebra. I have heard it said that your usually good at one and not the other. ???
You have nintendo W11...will you be my friend?? Actually I haven't a clue what it is.
Thanks for sharing. As I said before you are so Fun.
Okay obviously I don't know how to us a "?". I will work on it.
Oi, achei teu blog pelo google tá bem interessante gostei desse post. Quando der dá uma passada pelo meu blog, é sobre camisetas personalizadas, mostra passo a passo como criar uma camiseta personalizada bem maneira. Até mais.
April - Sorry I haven't gotten back to you. The fish: Bertha is a big ole gold fish. Super Trooper was the only fish of 11 little goldfish to survive when we initially set up the tank. Crash Bandicoot was another survivor. We bought a few fish at Walmart and I accidentally dropped the plastic bag on the parking lot... crash! Magma is a bright red betta and Spike is a spiky betta.
On the math thing.... Maybe I could tutor pre-algebra at first and work my way up with them, haha.
And, Nintendo wii... its the newest Nintendo and it has these weirdo/fun controllers you swing around and stuff to play...
Terri- ADD runs in the family, for sure! I am convinced I have it.
