13 Things I Like About Myself



  1. I have an eclectic sense of humor.


  2. I’m pretty easy going. Not too much stresses me. I usually have the attitude that as long as no one is dieing or will die, it’s probably okay. For example, being late to a party isn’t a matter of life-or-death.


  3. I love kids and kids love me. Perhaps it’s because I haven’t forgotten what it’s like. My daughter’s daycare class all huddle around me when I arrive because they want to see my “bubble”—a small level I have on my keychain. I spend at least 5 minutes every morning showing it to them. Plus, my 10-year-old goddaughter wants to have me at all her sleepovers—her friends said that Aunt Amy is really cool!


  4. Whenever I ask someone to guess my age, they usually say 27. I’m not 27 anymore!


  5. I’m a tomboy—I don’t fit the traditional “girl” mold. I like sci-fi and computers. I like to put Lego kits together and can fix things.


  6. Although I’m overweight, I don’t let it stop me from buying sexy lingerie. But it is harder to find.


  7. I love to introduce people to new things—to get them out of their “sphere of comfort.” I usually insist people try Indian food at least once. I also tell people that Sushi doesn’t mean “raw fish,” and although a lot of sushi has fish, there are vegetarian options as well.


  8. I can play many musical instruments, but not at a professional level. I can usually figure out a new instrument within a few minutes.


  9. I enjoy diversity and am sensitive to other people’s believes and traditions. I will hang out with anyone.


  10. I love animals and appreciate what they bring to our lives. I swear that sometimes they communicate with me. Okay, call me crazy, but who do the work dogs come to when they want to go out? Me!


  11. <

  12. I am not easily offended—which makes it really nice when I’m in mixed company. I can enjoy all the jokes—even the dirty ones!


  13. I love to learn new things. It never hurts to know things.


  14. I like to break routines and try new things. I don’t go the same way home everyday, and I don’t eat the same things all the time.

Great list! You don't need to be a size 6 to look great in lingerie and I liked the one about taking people out of their comfort zone. That's awesome.

You did Denise's challenge too! :) It's neat to see what we like about ourselves for a change, huh?

good for you- it's not that the lingerie is harder to find, it just costs more!! I just recently realized the biggest size at Victorias secret is a 12. seriously???
all good things to share about yourself..
