1) Last things first. My last name is POINDEXTER and I absolutely LOVE it. As a child, I used to get teased for it (as Poindexter equates nerd), but over the years I’ve learned to embrace it and so does everyone else! Poindexter is a name people most likely won’t forget, I like to stand out and I’m proud of my roots!
2) Call me crazy but I LOVE hardcore boot camps! Dirt, sweat, heat (maybe even shed a little blood…just kidding lol)
3) I LOVE healthy food! Flaxseed, seaweed, green tea, wheat grass, fresh fruits and veggies...bring it!
Bonus Fun Fact: Cilantro and avocado make everything taste better. God smiled when making these.
4) When I was little, I wanted to be a basketball star upon growing up (I used to BREATHE the sport). I ended up taking a different direction, and to this day I cannot watch women’s basketball without getting sentimental.

5) I can't wait until the day I'm blessed to have children, so (when they are older) I can sit up in the stands at their sporting events and say, "THAT'S MY BAAABY!!!" Yes…I will be one of those type of parents…and I will be hostile.

7) I am not a fan of men in skinny jeans,
8) Guys ask me all the time what I look for in a mate. Well here goes (it's very simple): fear God, honest with integrity, health conscious, positive, ambitious, supportive, humorous and loves me unconditionally (see that wasn’t so bad now was it?)
9) In 2007 I declared to take up activities and not be afraid to do them. So far I’ve run a 10K race, went white water rafting, sumo wrestled and entered the world of modeling. I am currently signed up for the 2011 Peachtree Road Race scheduled for the 4th of July! One day soon I plan to conquer rock climbing!
10) I’ve won a Sexiest Halloween Costume Contest as CATWOMAN…and I was damn sexy.
11) I am a MULTI-TASKER. I like having a long list of actions to do with the satisfaction of being able to cross the action out when its completed! If I don't have many projects going on, I don't feel challenged enough!
12) I am equally a PERFECTIONIST….but only on my job. In my everyday life I am pretty laid back, like to go with the flow and let things happen as they may. But when if comes to my job, I have an extreme Type A personality. Every detail should be covered and planned perfectly.
13) I realize I have a gift in writing and inspiring/motivating people no matter how young or old. In addition, I have a passion for fitness and healthy living. I’m determined to be able to combine these gifts and positively influence the world!
14) I used to be painfully shy! My first kiss was at 13 years old and the next one wasn’t until I was 17.
15) I’m a combination of bowlegged and slew foot *shrugs*
16) I eat extremely slooooooooow and not on purpose either. My coworkers make fun of me for literally taking HOURS to eat my meals. Since I eat pretty much every two hours, it seems like I eat all day.
17) I walked my pops down the aisle a few years ago to get married. As a single woman, this is sooooo backwards lol (but such an honor to do).
18) I have a degree in Sarcasm.
19) My family is my WORLD. I believe you can’t know where you are going in life if you don’t know where you’ve been. My family is an extension of myself and each moment I spend with them brings a sense of clarity to my life.
20) Not many things bother me, but one main pet peeve of mine is a negative person. I don't understand it nor do I want to understand it! I simply cannot fathom how someone can have so much dislike in their hearts and always see the glass as half-empty. Hearing the words (used loosely): hate, horrible, terrible, etc. make me CRINGE! I live my life very optimistically and see the good/positive in everything.
21) To add to number 20, I live my life very simplistically and content. I don't need all the latest fashions, new technologies and whatnot. What fulfills me is to have the love of God and my family, awesome friends…and to be in good health with the eyes & ears to be able to enjoy Mother Nature.
Bonus Fun Fact- If I could lay outside in the sun and TAN all day, that would make me happy. I am a true summer baby.
22) I have an old soul when it comes to music...old meaning The Delfonics and The Stylistics. I ROCK it in my car like it’s on the top 20 jams of 2011. It not only soothes me, but reminds me of trips my family used to take while playing their songs on the road.
23) I can watch a good movie back to back...to back...and rewind funny scenes over...and over...and laugh as if I saw it for the first time. I blame my pops for this trait.
24) Stevie Wonder is my ALL TIME FAVORITE artist and his music makes me happy! I even tried to get out of an important business trip to see him live in concert when he came to my city, but I was forced to go. Seeing Stevie live is definitely on my bucket list.
25) I have a fear of going to the 20 year high school reunion and old classmates saying, "Daaaaang she gained a lot of weight!" Hence, I workout like a mad woman because that will not happen!
26) I am a sucker for jewelry with hearts that “bling" and I absolutely LOVE butterflies. I think butterflies represent “A Beautiful Evolvement” and reflects my life.
27) I once wanted a tattoo smack dab on the side on my neck. I don't know what I was drinking thinking at the time, but I’m glad I decided otherwise.
Bonus Fun Fact: I do however have 4 tattoo's on my back.
28) I think I’ve seen every single episode of Roseanne, A Different World and the Cosby Show.
29) I do not believe getting older is a bad thing. I believe age is all in your mind and if you continue to stay active and take care of your body, you can forever stay young. Jada Pinkett, Madonna, Nia Long and Demi Moore are great examples as their bodies look AWESOMENESS!
30) I am a true LEO at heart. I am fiercely loyal and protective of the ones I love, proud, wear my heart on my sleeve, lives with integrity, affectionate, competitive, a tad dramatic…and a social diva *snaps fingers and flips hair*
I'm amazed at the sumo wrestling. Like, how? LoL! And I'm confused about the slew foot thing. Explain please.
ReplyDeleteIt is great to learn so much about you that I didnt know. It's crazy that we are similar in so many ways... I guess it the mighty lion in us - LEOS RULE!!!
ReplyDelete@ Smarty- The Sumo Wrestling was AWESOME!!! We put on the fat suits and then tried to tackle each other down to the ground!! …oh yeah and slew foot is the opposite of pigeon toed…feet go out lol
ReplyDelete@ Leah- Thanks glad you enjoyed!! I think we DO have alot in common aside from being FIERCE LEOS!!
Good stuff, Tiff. Love a woman who works out religiously!
ReplyDelete#23-- I can do the same thing with Martin episodes. I have seen every episode a billion times, but can watch them over and over and over as if it was the very first time. Sometimes, finding something I didn't catch.
Fact #31: You came into the world smiling! Happy baby; little girl; woman, whose smile makes everyone else smile.
ReplyDeleteFact #32: As a baby, your dad would sit with you in front of the speakers playing the Delfonics, Dramatics, etc. bouncing you to the beat of the music. Once, you fell asleep during this, and startled your dad!
@ Brace- Thanks! And yes you do seem to catch something new every time you watch a show!
ReplyDelete@ Mom- awwwwww thanks *big smile*
...and fact 32#, I do remember dad telling me I scared him when I fell asleep on his lap, but I didnt know we were listening to the music like the Delfonics!! No wonder...he ingraned me as a baby!
