So in the comments on yesterday’s uber-whiner post, Cagey said she hated posts like that (and so did Michelle, for the record), where I beat myself up (but I’m such an easy target!). So in an effort to balance everything out nicely, I thought I’d do a post wherein I detail everything that is Totally Awesome about yours truly. Because while I still believe that in some, way, shape or form that I am a la-hoo-ser, I do recognize that I have some good traits. Somewhere. Maybe there in the corner under that layer. Ahem. Here goes!
- I have some really cute kids. As evidenced by the MONDO picture we picked up yesterday from Sears. Seriously, ya’ll, it’s adorable. And you should check out my full review of Sears Portrait Studio while you’re at it.
- I have a fondness for writing that makes up for it’s lack of talent with an excess of enthusiasm. I may never be a literary genius, but maybe someday I’ll get published. That’d be awesome.
- I love animals. I always have. When I was little, before the days of Animal Planet, I used to love to watch those wild animal safari type shows on PBS. I’ve always loved having pets too. For a long time, I was a big cat person, but thanks to Tiger, we’re taking a bit of a cat-break right now. We have our hands full with the dogs now anyhow.
- I like to think that I have a decent sense of humor. This might not be the funniest blog out there and I’m in no way implying that it is. But I do know funny when I hear (or see) it. My dad used to always say I had such a great sense of humor. I love to laugh. I love to surround myself with funny people.
- I love Christmas. There, I said it. I know it’s sorta fashionalble anymore to be something of a Scrooge, but I can’t help it. Tis the Season to be Jolly. I don’t love the stress associated with the holidays but I absolutely ADORE the wonder. And I love sharing that wonder with my kids.
- In a related vein, I love cold weather. I love snow and rain and clouds. I don’t love wind (but then, after living in Nevada you realize it doesn’t need to be cold to be windy). I can’t wait until this mild weather is gone and we get some real good snow storms.
- I’m loyal. I’m not the sort to ditch out on someone when a “better offer” comes along. Once I’m a friend with someone, it takes quiet a bit to shake that. I give my friends the benefit of the doubt in iffy situations. This has, in the recent past, led to me getting walked over, but I think it’s an important trait to have. Because if you can’t count on your friends to back you up in times of need, then who can you count on?
- I have awesome taste in music and movies. If I do say so myself. And I do. Cuz this is my blog. And I’m not talking about artsy-fartsy, alternative taste. Yes, there are some awesome indy movies out there and some fabulous unknown musicians out there. But I tend towards the mainstream and I love popular movies and music. It’s the great equalizer. And look at it this way, I’ll never make you feel bad for loving “Armageddon” (cuz I do too) (but I will hold “The Fast and the Furious” against you because that movie and all it’s spawn are CRAP).
There you go. Some of the things that make me awesome. Don’t you want to be my friend now?

I’m a crappy friend. I didn’t get on to you for beating yourself up, instead I took the open door as a chance to come in and beat myself up with you. I’m an enabler, aren’t I?
I’m going to add to your list: You make an awesome BlogHer roomie!
Also? LOVE your kids’ portraits. I’m borrowing some umbrella studio lights from someone this year and am going to attempt my own portraits. First time ever. EEK.
Better…..much, much better. And don’t you feel better, too?? :-)
cageys last blog post..What did she say, Mama?
Atta girl!
And hey, I still have those Dar tickets ::wink::
See… that wasn’t so hard, was it? I can add a whole bunch of stuff to the “good qualities” list. One of my favorites kinda goes with loyalty. In that you’re FAIR. You can be friends with 2 people, see one of them do something bad/stupid to the other one, and no question – you ditch the bad one. Remember The Zone? Did you stop talking to her on Angela’s behalf? Yes you did.
You’re GENEROUS. You lend your things to your friends. How many books did you lend me? We didn’t share many classes, so I don’t think I ever “borrowed” homework from you in high school. But I know you would have let me if I needed it! You shared lunch truck fries!! See? Very generous.
Oh… hey… you dropped Brandon like a hot potato and who deserved that more than he did? So that makes you SMART!! Also making you smart is the fact that you don’t want nuts on your sundae.
I could go on, but you know I think you’re AWESOME. And if you’re any part of a la-hoo-ser, then I’m right there with ya. Because otherwise, we couldn’t be friends.
I was with you until you said the Fast and the Furious was crap…wassamatter with a little Vin Diesel ever now and again?
