30 Things I Love about Myself

So I read this short blurb where a columnist listed 30 things she loved about herself and challenged her readers to do the same. Okay, not too hard, right? I can be vain and self-centered for a bit.

This "experiment" is intended have some lasting effects, in that I can refer back to it when I'm feeling glum and worthless. Despite being a very baited and intentionally optimistic article, it does have a point. We all need to be reminded of our strengths every now and then, otherwise you just have a depressed coxswain who doesn't help you win anything...

1) I don't want to be perfect, just a bad ass.

2) I love my feet. They're just the right size and make a very pretty pedicure.

3) For being petite, I have really nice legs as well...

4) I clean up very nicely, but play really dirrty, too.

5) Give me two weeks and I can plan anything to a T.

6) I might actually accomplish all of my New Year's Resolutions this year! (see previous blog)

7) Being the child in the family who has everything altogether, for the most part...

8) I don't want an expensive car. I can rock my VW Beetle or maybe Subaru Outback (fingers crossed)

9) I love eating and have a vast appreciation for food and how its made.

10) Never back down from a challenge. Bring it on, homeslice...

11) I won't settle for being bored. If I hit a plateau, start something new!

12) I can go to a movie by myself.

13) I actually found the person I want to spend forever with :)

14) If love is a game, then I'm Alexander Ovechkin.

15) My hair is just the right shade of insanely dark brown

16) I've turned my knack for being judgmental into a priceless career tool.

17) I'm actually a really good dancer, more than you think I am...

18) I'm not high maintenance, just occasionally expensive...

19) My lightning quickness with Shortcut Keys (Apple and PC)

20) I have a big, diverse and insanely complicated family.

21) I am TurboKick instructor certified!!! (New Year's Resolution #2 done)

22) Guess who was recommended to get Hip Hop Hustle certified as well...

23) I'm a coxswain, and am actually a very good one.

24) Moving around so much has made it so I can make friends anywhere I go.

25) Self-made, everyday.

26) Aside from the occasional gastronomic experience, I take pretty good care of myself.

27) I am completely happy with my cup size, and so is he.

28) I like surprising people and going beyond they're expectations.

29) I can go from pajamas to a Race to Afternoon Tea to club-hopping in one day.

30) Just when I have it all figured out, something wonderful happens and it's even better than I imagined.
