A to Z

I first saw this type of post on Erin's blog {Living in Yellow} and decided I wanted to "borrow" her idea. {Hopefully she believes "imitation is the best form of flattery!"} I didn't realize it would take me weeks {literally} to come up with self-descriptors for each letter of the alphabet.


Leslie Lukens, Leslie Martin


A:  Austin, Texas - my home from 2005 -2008 {grad school}. 


B:  Bond Girl - specifically credit analysis of municipal bonds. It's what I do for a living.

C:  Cake - quite possibly my favorite food on the planet...or chips & salsa, which also begins with C, so I'll go with both!  Oh...and I also love champagne!

D:  Dorothy - what people in Texas think my name is..."You're not in Kansas anymore, Dorothy!"

Toto, Halloween Costume, Kansas
Halloween a few years back...
Lily was the perfect Toto!

E:  Economics - one of my undergraduate degrees.

F:  Farming - the source of my supplemental income.

John Deere, combine, cutting wheat, farming
Riding the combine with my brother during wheat harvest



G:  George Strait - my all-time favorite entertainer. Since I was born...till the day I die!

H:  Hot Tamales {the candy} - my longest-lasting addiction...CAN'T.GET.OVER.IT! We're talking 20 years. I've even been known to refer to these lil cinnamon treats as "medicine."


candy

I:  Ink {as in tattoos} - I have two!

J:  Jo - my middle name.

K:  Kansas - home sweet home.

L:  Lily - the 5-pound diva that rules our house. {see more about her here}


M:  Macaroni & Cheese - one thing I'm actually good at making...not the box kind. I'm legit when it comes to mac & cheese.

N:  Nashville - my favorite TV show. 

O:  Overload - what I tend to do to my schedule/calendar.

P:  Pizza - my preferred meal on Sunday nights {or any morning following a night that involves cocktails!}

Q:  Quantify - what I try to do to anything and everything. I'm just a numbers girl!

R:  Ryan - my husband, the love of my life, my best friend.



S:  Sorority - I was an Alpha Chi Omega back in the day. {It hurts to calculate how many years I've been out of college!}

T:  Traffic - my worst enemy. It makes me wish I could be in a demolition derby...except my car is the only one that moves in my vision of a demolition derby. 

U:  Unmade - how I leave our bed most mornings. {Shhh! Don't tell my mom...she'd be so disappointed!}

V:  Vision - 20/20...thanks to LASIK, the Best.Investment.Ever!

W:  Watermelon - my favorite fruit...and one of my favorite lines from Baby in Dirty Dancing.


"I carried a watermelon."

X:  XOXO - hugs and kisses to anyone still reading this useless information about me!

Y:  Yellow - my favorite color for summer!



Z:  Zulily - a website in which I spend too much time and/or money. It's not just for moms and babes. Believe me.
