About me
OK, so we all agree that devoting a website to yourself is pretty, um, self-centered. Then, having a page on said website further informing people about yourself is even worse; it might even qualify you for first place in the Those Who Think Most Highly of Themselves competition. But that’s okay, because maybe you’re some wayside visitor and you have not got a clue as to who I am, and maybe you want to stay for some odd reason. So here you go.
My name is Lexi?, or Alexis? I have a constant name identity crisis these days. (I guess it depends from where you know me and all that.) I am in my late 30s3533. I like to read, write, and draw (one sentence that has stuck with me since my elementary school days), I love gymnastics, and I love (and, for the most part, like) my friends and family.
I am amazingly lucky to have a loving and sweet husband, Jeff. And now we have two cute kids, too. 🙂 My dad is an architect and my mom is a mom. My older sister Stephie resides in California with husband Mike and their three kids. My younger sister Jenny and her husband Hakan are engineers (enginerds?) in Chicago (they’re all quite brilliant), now raising two little enginerds of their own. Both of our cats have now passed away. I also have tons of other relatives, including many, many cousins, and spending time with them is a blast. I can’t believe I used the word ‘blast’ to describe something. Oh well. I am also fortunate to have friends sprinkled throughout the whole dang country, and maybe planet, at times.
I am a graphic/interactive designer and web developer…something like that….TBD. I work at a large institution in Minneapolis as a digital communications strategist/catch-all. I’m in a great field, the people with whom I work are pretty cool, and the work is exciting. But that’s definitely not my life (despite what it looks like, with my S.O. being a designer and all—really, I’m not that shady). I like a lot of other things, too, though I’m pretty darned content for the moment. And as always, I’m obsessed with THE INTERNET and coding. Coding! Numbers! Oh yeah!
I was/am/was/am?/was also a gymnast, and still pretty much obsessed with gymnastics, in case you couldn’t tell. I fakely come out of retirement at least once a year until I realize how much I suck these days now mostly retired due to my knee, hey yo. Ha. I was a (not very good) level 9 when I graduated from USAG competition. I then went on to four years of competing NAIGC with the University of Minnesota’s Gymnastics Club. I now spend time messing around trying to keep my giants once in awhile and coaching around my fair city as I can. Gymnastics is incredible, and nothing has brought me more passion or preparation for the real world than this sport.
What else do I like? I love the ocean, summer, rollercoasters, acronyms, cereal and spaghetti and blue moon ice cream, and the color RED. I also run/bike/swim etc etc, pretend to play hockey/dance around/shoot hoops/whatever. And do YOGA! I like crafty things and cooking/baking and I’d probably call myself a SPORTS fan now. Aaaah SPORTS! I am obsessed with numbers, especially the number 3. And I HATE bugs and green peppers and “MAAAACK”ery!
What else, oh yeah. I look kind of like the stick figure below, except that my eyes are hazel, not neon green, and my body is not composed of thin red lines.
OK, the show is over, you can all go home!
