Thirteen Things about LINDSEY!

1. First of all, thanks to everyone for continuing the Thursday Thirteen and following it over to its new home! Nicole and I are very excited to be hosting the T13, and we are so glad that so many people have decided to come with us!

2. The reason mine is so late in getting up today is because . . . I have been at the doctor today. Many of you know that I got mono this past November, which created lots of problems, including me having to take an incomplete in 3 of my classes (which I still haven’t finished all the work for). Well, yesterday morning I woke up with a sore throat that felt EXACTLY like mono. So today, I woke up and headed back over to the doctor’s office. They said that it’s probably just a really bad cold that is viral, so there’s nothing I can take for it. They can’t do another mono test because I have the antibodies in my system already, so it would be inconclusive. They did a swab strep test, and it was negative, so that’s good. I guess I’m just gonna have to rest up a bit and hope for the best . . .

3. Ticket sales for the magic show I am working on are going very well! This is the first show for MagicMouth Productions, and we are super excited that we have so many tickets sold for our Saturday performance! If you are in the North Carolina area, I recommend you get your tickets now before we sell out!

4. I have a challenge for all you 13ers out there! I’m totally stealing this from Running2Ks, so this is not an original idea, but it’s a good one, and if she doesn’t mind, I’m gonna borrow it, LOL!

Give me a topic to discuss or a question to answer.

Just post your topic in the comments, and I’ll start answering them as soon as I get some topics/questions!

5. My diet? It’s gone in the dumper. I’ve been so unfaithful it’s embarrassing. Tomorrow’s another weigh-in day, and while I didn’t gain last week, I also didn’t lose. Things have been so hectic and busy, there just doesn’t seem to be time to eat right, and certainly no time to exercise . . . sigh, I need some motivation!

6. Reading Red Letters has gotten some really nice response. I’ve got some topics that I want to discuss, but I’m finding it hard to put them into the right words, LOL, so it’s taking longer to get it up ang going than I had hoped it would! Perhaps tonight I’ll actually get a good post going!

7. I was kind of nervous about putting up my 101 in 1001 when I made it. I mean, if I failed and didn’t get everything done, EVERYONE would know it! But I think the opposite has happened. People have been encouraging, and when I tried to average out how often I should be completing a task in order to finish in time, I’m right one schedule! It’s been a very rewarding experience to create this list, especially since I’ve always wanted to be a goals-oriented person, but have never been able to see myself that way. I really recommend that others try this experience!

8. My brother came to North Carolina this past weekend! He was visiting Elon, the school that he’s probably going to go to next year, but he also swung by Winston-Salem to visit me! I was so happy to see him, it was the first time he’s been up here this year, so it was his first time seeing my apartment. He seemed to like it :)!

9. Along with Bo’s visit, he brought me my coffee maker that Mama and Daddy got me for Christmas. Can I tell you how in love I am with this thing? I’ve had a coffee maker before, but this one is automatic - I can program it to make me my coffee!!!! The problem has always been that without the caffeine I can’t get awake enough in the morning to make the coffee before I leave, but this way I just stick the coffee and water in the pot at night, push a button, and voila! At 8:30 AM every day I get fresh coffee. It’s almost too good to be true ;)!

10. One of the classes I’m enrolled in this semester is Contemporary Drama. It’s a great dramatic lit class, and it’s taught by one of my favorite professors. We’re reading plays that have been produced in the last 10 years, and while most of them are straight plays, I couldn’t help but smile because yesterday in class we studied Rent, which is sooo not something I ever expected to study in a college classroom!

11. Let’s finish off with a few of goofy quizzes!
