Yes, Clink. It was hard for me too.

My last therapist would have loved this meme. Thanks to Molly, I have to come up with 10 things I like about myself.
  1. When I say I'm going to do something I will do it. I rarely back out of anything which often gets me doing things I don't want to do, but I think it's important to keep my word. In turn, I can't stand it when other people don't do the same.
  2. I am sensitive. I am very intuitive about what other people are feeling and as a result try hard not to hurt any one's feelings. Although I get annoyed with myself for being TOO sensitive, I think being sensitive is a good thing as well.
  3. I am a planner (Tangent: as I was writing this I thought of this line from a movie, do you know it? "Are you a planner? Yeah, me too. Well...no...I wouldn't say I'm a planner. More of a fly by the seat of my pants kind of gal, a moments a moment...yeah, that's me..."). I don't like to be overwhelmed so I take measures to prevent it. Bills, dishes, groceries, meals; everything I do is almost always thought of and planned ahead.
  4. I have a lot of sympathy and compassion for people who need it. I have a huge soft spot for old people, children, people with illnesses or disorders and those overcoming life obstacles. Sometimes I think I should work with older people because I have so much empathy and respect for them.
  5. I am good at games and most sports. Unless it's trivia, I suck at trivia. I almost always kick BFF's ass when we play anything - miniature golf, pool, air hockey, cards. I think this is why he still hasn't taken me bowling even though I've been asking for two years!
  6. I'm a good cook. I'm not gourmet or anything, but I'm not afraid to be in the kitchen. I love to try new recipes.
  7. My eyes. I don't usually notice eyes on other people, but mine are a different shade of brown. They are hard to describe.
  8. I'm a fast learner. I definitely learn better in a hands on, practice environment but I usually pick up on things pretty quickly.
  9. I'm low maintenance. Sometimes I wish I was more of a girly girl but most of the time I like that it only takes me 45 minutes in the morning to eat breakfast, shower, dress, and do my hair and make up. And trust me, I'm not moving fast.
  10. I figure things out. I probably couldn't qualify to be a private investigator but I'd like to think I do pretty well. BFF always says that I ruin any surprises he tries to do. Thankfully I didn't ruin the biggest of all - the proposal!

I started this at 11:01 am. It is now 12:07 pm. Phew...the last ones were tough (can you tell?).

Since most everyone who reads this blog has already been tagged I will offer it out to anyone who hasn't done it. Everyone deserves to pat themself on the back - try it, you might like it!

It WAS hard, but oddly satisfying. It was nice to look at the list and think "huh, I'm a pretty good person."

And I think the similarities in all of our lists is party why we're all BlogFriends.

Good list. But, one question...why not take him bowling? Put the pressure on him!

It is a great list! And this is so hard. I still haven't done mine--thanks Molly!--but it's my next post. You have inspired me!
