Missy Carroll, you are cute, cute, cute, no doubt about it! Here we go!
- I’m a twin. My sister Mindy, also an iDate of the Week, and I are like either end of the spectrum. Different in our own ways, yet we are both very competitive. I think that comes from being a twin.

Twins Missy and Mindy Carroll - Unbelievably, I am over 40. I know. I can’t believe it either.
- People say that I look like Liza Minnelli, the younger years.
- I am a huge SATC (Sex and the City) fan. I cannot wait until movie No. 2 is released May 28. I will be at the midnight showing with some of my fellow fans.
- I was on Bozo the Clown when I was 4, and yes, I was chosen to play the “drop the ping pong ball in the cup game.” I didn’t win, and I don’t remember ever liking clowns since then. There is nothing scarier than a clown!
- I was president of my senior class at Heath High School. We will be having our 25th class reunion this summer. I am so excited!!!
- My major was Marketing at Murray State University, but my parents swear that my favorite class was FRATERNITY PARTY 101.
- I love, love, love to watch movies, at home or to go to the show. Some of my favorites include, but are not limited to: 1) About Last Night, 2) Tombstone, 3) Four Weddings and a Funeral, 4) Love Actually, 5) Office Space.
- Everyday is an adventure for me. I truly love to meet new people every day. My theory is: You can never have too many friends!
- My lucky number is 7, also my number from playing softball. My favorite color is red. People say I am a very passionate person, so this suits me. I am an Aquarius!
- I have a passion for traveling and would love to travel more. Currently, I have visited 19 of the United States and D.C.
- Roller coasters are not my favorite thing because I have a fear of heights. When I was training for The Disney Store, some friends talked me into riding Space Mountain at Disneyland. I must say, I was scared to death. However, the Tower of Terror really did me in, but I can say “I rode it.” Amazingly enough, I did enjoy the Raiders of the Lost Ark ride at Disneyland, but it was pretty scary. Riding a ski lift in Gatlinburg definitely ranks right up there as well.
I do love John Mayer! He is an incredibly talented person. Watching him break down at the concert in Nashville and saying “that he needed to shut his mouth and just play his guitar” is probably the single smartest thing the man has ever said. I think he got a little full of himself as people will and said some things he shouldn’t have, for sure. He started his apology with, “In my quest to be clever…...”. - I don’t like mean people. I don’t like haters. I prefer to surround myself with happy, good-natured sorts with a great sense of humor. I also prefer intelligence to ignorance. Knowledge is power!
- What kind of guy do I like? A man with an intelligent mind, great sense of humor, who loves older people, is kind to dogs and is sweet to people who are serving him. Someone who is kind, thoughtful, and loves his family.
- My favorite actor is Kurt Russell and my favorite actress is Jennifer Aniston. Both are very well-rounded actors in their own right — comedy to drama and back again.
- I like well-rounded people. I think manners and good upbringing will take you far in life. Money will never buy CLASS.
- I love to watch dog shows!!!!
- When I retire, I would love to live on a couple of acres, have many flower gardens, my own vegetable garden, two cows, two horses, seven dogs (I have already picked out the breeds), some goats and maybe some ducks.
- I am from Paducah, born and bred, and I love this city!!!!
