10 Things I Love About ME
Happy Valentine’s Day, beloved readers! Today I’m participating in Hilly’s Self-Love Day, celebrating this most dreaded of days by finding stuff we love about OURSELVES. And because Dave2 is guilt-tripping me, I’ve chosen to present a list of not one, but TEN things I love about myself. So let’s get on with it, shall we?
- I rite gud. No really, I do. And you must agree, or you wouldn’t keep coming back, right?
- I’m funny. Okay yes, my feet, but I’m referring to my wit. Seriously, I totally crack myself up sometimes. Lots of times, actually. And not just when I’m trying on swimsuits.
- I have a good eye. For photography, I mean. But that reminds
me … - My eyes. They’re brown. Coffee Brown, I’ve been told. I like them a lot, even if they’re somewhat harder to find now than they used to be.
- I’m honest. Some people call it tactless. Whatever. It’s one of the few Sagittarius traits I possess — I tend to speak first and face the consequences later. This is also one of the 10 things I hate about me, depending on how what I just blurted was received. Ahem.
- I have a loving heart. I don’t love everybody (besides Lindsay Lohan, who does?), but when I like someone, it’s just a short step to embracing them with my whole heart. And I’m very affectionate by nature, which is occasionally misinterpreted. I’m not actually in love with all my male blogfriends. Just Karl.
- My teeth. An all-natural smile. Although I’ve never had orthodontia, dentists have told me I have one of the most perfect natural alignments they’ve ever seen.
- I’m healthy. I may be fat, but otherwise I’m in pretty damn good shape for an old broad! I’m extremely grateful for that, too.
- I’m an excellent employee. Don’t laugh! This is something to be proud of in this age of slackers. As the [deleted] at Incognotorious, Inc. I have a great deal of responsibility and a double buttload of work. I give them my all and then some, every single day. Lucky for me I love every minute of it.
- I’m a good mama. I challenge anyone to best me at nurturing. As proof, I offer my beloved only child, Juli, who rocks the world’s socks off on a daily basis.
Wow, I am so much more awesome than I realized!
And now, in keeping with the spirit of Self-Love Day, I invite each of you to comment on something YOU love about me! Also, please visit all the other bloggers who are playing today.

I love that you are a great listener/friend AND that you can see right through to the core of people without batting an eye. I love to pride myself on my intuition but I think yours is much better than mine is any day!
Plus you’ve got a great voice…

I love that you love me because I’m hot for you, too. Happy V Day, baby!
I really enjoyed hanging out with you and the fam last year. We definitely need to do that again. You know, minus your husband.

Oh fairy blogmamma, how I love you… You have such a loving heart and soul, and I’m so lucky to have been ‘adopted’ by you. Your kindness shines through in your emails and comments. And i’m guessing that you give really good hugs.
Happy V-day/self-love day SJ.

Well, I HAVE to love you, as you do me, ’cause we know too many of each other’s secrets and pasts! Seriously, you’ve been my sister/friend for 40 years now and our friendship has been tested and tempered in the fires of life. Much to love, but today. I’ll choose your passion for every person and interest you care for. You don’t love lightly. You’re all in. Love you, Starshine, Happy Self-Love Day.

I love that you offer a little sanity in this crazy world of ours, and a little craziness in this boring world of ours. I love that you are so truthful in your world and that you are so sincere. And I too love your lists!

I don’t know you well enough to have a long list of reasons for my affection, but I’ll say that I love you for creating this very cool post! I’ll high-five you on the soulful coffee-brown eyes (we brown-eyed gals have to stick together), and I only WISH my teeth were that pretty!

To my beloved fairy blogmamma - I love how supportive you are. I love how thoughtful you are. I love how I can tell how much you care and think about everyone around you.
I love knowing what an awesome person you are just from reading your blog - I hope to meet you some day. I love finding inspiration to be free-spirited and open minded in someone I could consider a mentor (please don’t take insult to the phrase!).
I love that you are passionate, talented and FUNNY! I LOVE YOU!!!

I love that you linked to me! Is that totally self-centred? Well, never mind that, This is about you, not about me. (As if.) I share your Sagittarian honesty by the way, but not your distinctly Libran belief in astrology. Happy day to you!

Thank you ALL for such lovely, lovely comments! You are all wonderful friends, and I adore you.
P.S. to Stan: I only believe in astrology when I feel like it. What sign is that indicative of, I wonder?
February 15th, 2008 at 10:40 pm
It’s a list! It’s a list!
I love how you always took something as seemingly mundane as a list and made it fun and interesting! Damn you.
My eyes are coffee brown too. But Katie calls them “shit brown,” and are thus an indicator of how full of shit I am. Go fig, eh?
