About Me

Who are you? I am Lindsey and this is my blog!  I was born and raised in Eagar, Arizona, graduated from Southern Utah University in Cedar City, Utah, and currently live in west Phoenix with my four crazy kids.

 

How did you get the idea for your blog? Like every human being, I’ve always loved before and afters, and my mom was probably getting sick of me calling up and being like “Mom, I just found the coolest project online. OK, you have to go to this website, click on this tab, scroll down until you find this one post, nope, check the archives… there! Do you see it? Isn’t that the best thing ever?!” So in August of 2009, I started rounding up my favorites and putting them on a blog, mainly for my own benefit (this was pre-Pinterest, kids) and it’s been growing ever since!

I want to submit my project!  What do I do? Just email me! Better After(at)live.com  And check out my FAQ page for some helpful tips.

Here are some unimportant facts that you don’t need to know about me:

 

1. I love a good conspiracy theory. 

2. I love music and try to see as many live shows as possible.

3. I plan on meeting Jack White someday and forcing him to be my best friend.

4. I wrote a haiku. It won first in a contest. This wasn’t it though.

5. I am on a competitive dance team with a bunch of other mom-ladies like me who love and miss dance.

6. I could eat cold cereal for every meal.

7. I’m eating some right now.

8. Word nerd alert: I love crossword puzzles.

9. Old lady alert: I taught myself to crochet.

10. I can’t count past 79. No, I’m serious. I always skip the 80’s, I don’t know why. 78, 79, 90. It’s been like this for years. It’s really annoying.

11. I have imaginary arguments with imaginary mean people in case I ever meet them in the future.

12. I’m a night owl.  Hoooooot.

13. I don’t drink soda, hate it.

14. I’m a natural blonde, and also naturally left-handed. I’m practically a unicorn.
15. I’m turned on by the proper use of a semicolon. 😉
16. I will not watch scary movies.
17. Probably because I have nightmares almost every night.

18. I had a very vivid nightmare about a white owl once when I was about 10.

19. I am afraid of white owls.
20. I am also afraid of wood, like log cabins and knotty pine.

21. I feel like wood has eyes and it is watching me. Also cows. Cows are just … bad news. 
22. I’m not a dog person, but that doesn’t make me a terrible person! I like your dog. I just don’t want to own a dog.
23. I once had a pet rabbit and I named it Thumper.
24. I was not the most creative child.
25. I once had a pet lamb.
26. I named it Lamby.
27. I stand on one foot when I brush my teeth, it’s odd, I don’t know why I do that.
28. I try not to brag, but I can do voices pretty well.

29. Do you watch Care Bears? I can do an awesome Beastly voice.
30. Still not trying to brag, but I can read really fast.

31. But I won’t finish a good book because I don’t want it to end.

32. I love thrifting, but I never buy things because I have an inability to make decisions, like, ever. I’m the person who takes 35 minutes to order at Wendy’s. I am good at carrying things around the store before putting them back though.
