I'm stealing this idea from The Rotten Correspondent. If you haven't checked out her blog, what the hell are you waiting for? She's brilliantly funny, and she does this list thingy on Thursdays. So, being ambitious, I'm trying out a Friday Five, instead of a Thursday Three.
After my grumpy post about advertising this week, I thought we could use a little self-affirmation. Here are Five Things I like about myself....*note: these are not five things other people necessarily like about me!
- I can cook, and cook well, with whatever happens to be on hand. I inherited this trait from my mom.
- I may be overweight, but I can also lift fifty pounds above my head and hold it there for more than a minute. My child weighs almost forty pounds, and I can hold her up there for a while! Don't ask why I would choose to do this.
- I care. A lot. About everyone and everything. Sometimes this makes me cry and pisses other people off, but I think it makes me a better person.
- I'm intelligent. This gets me into trouble sometimes, usually with other people who don't care how smart I am.
- I am a smart ass. It's fun. Try it sometime, I guarantee endless hours of amusement.
Okay, those are my five, and just like The Rotten Correspondent, I am encouraging you to post five things you like about yourself in the comments section. Maybe next week we'll try things we don't like about ourselves. Or not.
