This post is going to be a feel warm and fuzzy post, so if you are not in the mood to be happy I suggest you turn away from your computer right….NOW.
OK, now that we’ve weeded out all the moan n’ groaners, let’s begin.
Do you ever have a moment when you’re just like “I really like myself!”? I hope you do. I have them every now and then (I like myself all the time, but don’t always acknowledge it) and it is a wonderful awesome feeling! I’m going to go ahead and list some things that I like about myself:
1) I read a lot. Reading makes me so happy, especially when I get to read a new book! Nothing is better than taking time to read something from one of your favorite authors. And I like that I still free read – I feel like I’m in an exclusive club.
2) I catch myself dancing and mouthing the words to songs in public. Sure, you may think I’d feel stupid, but instead I feel kind of special, because people are looking at me and I like to think that maybe I’ve given them something to laugh about now or later on.
3) I like math and am good at it. Seriously, when I’m working really hard on a good math problem my ears turn red because of the focus that’s going on up there.
4) I have really nice friends. My mom told me once that you attract people who have similar personalities to you. My friends are really nice, ergo I am really nice. It makes me feel good to think that people probably think I’m really nice.
5) I can procrastinate like crazy but still get everything I need to done on time. This is probably not the best thing in the world, but I still like it. I think it’s kind of funny that I have to wait until crunch time to get things done, but there’s a reason my dad calls me Last Minute Lindsay. Sometimes I wish I can be super organized and disciplined (w00t Alison), but then I probably wouldn’t have half as much fun as I do (like when we played baseball in the office with an easter egg as the ball and a sharpie as the bat).
I want everyone to post at least one thing that they like about themselves in the comments page. It will seriously make you feel good about yourself and give your step a little bounce today!

P.S. I totally did 5 things I like about myself because there are 5 spice girls. I’m Baby Spice pretty much every single day…but maybe I can start being Posh every now and then.
The first thing is that I am good at entertaining myself. Yesterday I passed this guy walking a lab puppy and I said “Can I pet your dog?” but in my head I thought, what if instead I asked, “Can I make out with your dog?” because that is the level of my passion for dogs. And that made my laugh out loud. He probably thought I was really weird.
I really like how when I’m shopping, I am willing to try anything on–if I like it, I will try it on; if I think it will look funny on me, I will try it on; if someone else think I’ll look cute in it, I’ll try it on; if someone else thinks I’ll look horrible in it, I’ll try it on. I never let a pair of thigh-tight jeans or an saggy-chest dress make me think that I’m the one with the problem–I look f*&^ing fabulous and I’m willing to put in the time to try on a million different things until I find something that matches my fabulousness. Usually, that fabulous thing doesn’t match up with my fabulous bank account–but hey, fabulous clothes are like fabulous love–even if you only get them for a moment (like the time spent in a dressing room) it is worth it.
Hmmm…….this is a hard one.
I guess I like the fact that I somehow morphed into a neat freak when I started living by myself. Cleaning gives me something to do if I get bored and it makes my apartment that much cozier. Of course it only applies to my apartment and does not extend to my desk at work, which is a pigsty.
I like that I’m interested in things most other people my age aren’t. I like to do crafty things, but mostly I cross-stitch. This isn’t typically an activity many other 20-somethings do…unless you know someone who does, in which case we should form a club. Another thing I enjoy is watching old black-and-white films, and I know quite a bit about them, but I don’t know many other people my age who watch them. Oh well, it makes me unique.
