# 1- Introduce yourself

Introduce myself huh?  Well, pretty much everyone that actually takes the time to read this knows me, but I'll do it anyway.

My name is Lyndsey.  I am a mother of two BEAUTIFUL little girls. I'm married to my crazy hubby Ruben, haha. We live in a little two bedroom apartment which sits right around the corner from the school. I have brown hair, and brown eyes.  I'm average weight for someone my height, although I'm not happy with how out of shape I am.  HOPEFULLY I can work on that while the girls are in school.

I take things personally when they aren't personal at all.  I fight for what I believe in, sometimes to a fault.  I struggle with self esteem issues, but I work on them every day.  I have a horrible time meeting new people on my own, and even with the help of friends I struggle for a while. 

I used to be an alcoholic.  I used to abuse certain other substances too (if you REALLY wanna know, just ask.  Not hiding it, just don't want EVERYONE to know, understand?)  I grew up in a very religious family, and for the longest time believed that was the way my life needed to.  Then certain things happened, and now I'm searching for my place in the spiritual world - although I'm more sure now than I've been in a long time.  And I know that my choices would make my family sad - so we just try to avoid the subject all together.  It's not worth the drama to me, ya know?

I am who I am.  I'm not gonna change that just because someone doesn't like every part of me.  You either deal with the "bad" as well as the good, or you get lost.  It's your loss, not mine. I  don't need the negativity.  I'm happy with myself now.  I've worked LONG and HARD to get to this point in my life - and I don't need some other person to agree for me to know that it's right for me.  Your approval is not necessicary.

I listen to every kind of music (well, ALMOST - I don't do death metal, haha.  Anything I can't understand can go screw itself, haha)  But I'll listen to everything from Country to Rock and Roll to Classical and never bat an eye when they are all on one playlist, haha.

I've been told I have a pretty voice - although I think it's just average.  I've been told I have beautiful eyes, but I think they are just pretty.  I've been called "sexy old" by teenager boys, which cracks me up, haha. 

I spend my whole life now trying to be the best person I can be.  The best mom, friend, wife, employee, etc.  The best ME I can be.  And yeah, i'm human.  I make mistakes, and I get things wrong.  But I am me, and I'm finally happy with that. 

So that's me in a nutshell.  Any comments about me would be welcome, haha.  :)  LOVE YOU GUYS!
