Ashley Lundgaard (Noelani Lundgaard)

My name is Ashley. I’d blame society for my outcome, however, my parents played a large part in my personality traits. But honestly, I’m pretty vain and think I am completely awesome. I created myself and who I am entirely. Those who truly know me would confirm that this is how I feel about myself. Others, even those who know me well, probably wouldn’t describe me as such as I’m pretty opinionated, introverted, and yet crazy impulsive. The impulsive thing just kills my husband. Apparently he doesn’t appreciate some impulsive yelling, for instance when I cursed and flipped off a bus driving disabled children who didn’t abide by the laws of traffic. Maybe they shouldn’t be driving kids!

Another talent I have- I repel women faster than even the most awkward of men, so you can say that I’m a guy’s girl- we seem to be like-minded and I’m very okay with that. Bring on the beer, simple conversation, avoid eye contact, you stay in your bubble, I’ll stay in mine and put on a good comedy at the end of the day and I’m good. I still enjoy a mani/pedi and a well deserved hour massage, however, I’ll skip the ten-hour shopping trip to the West Field Mall just for a pair of jeans and girly oohs and ahhs over the latest fashions. I know I look good in hand me downs, so there’s no point in rubbing it in with new clothes. Joking.

Typically I try to avoid friendships and not just with girls, but everyone. I find since having children, it is incredibly difficult to have family time and still maintain friendships. It requires so much time and effort. Giving out false hopes of a friendly-get-together seems to be my specialty. There are a select few individuals, however, whom I always TRY to make time for. Recently, I’ve lost a great deal of those people, including my very best friend, Correy Fedor. My partner in crime and the only person I ever got the privilege to openly ruin and manipulate. My apologizes Vanessa. He was totally digging the “bad-boy” lifestyle. Muwahahahaha. And joking again.

These stories are for my children, friends, family and anyone who dare read confession after confession of childhood memories. I shadow a lot of sorrow with humor, so enjoy my pain, I mean my thoughts, I mean… just enjoy.
