what i like about me
I was inspired by Haley-O to make a list of some things I like about myself. You do it next, and tell me about it please. Here goes:
- I have a good fashion sense. I may not exercise it at all times, but I do know how to buy clothes for my body – both colors and styles – and I do know how to put together complete outfits – clothes with shoes and jewelry.
- I’m smart. I am. I know I come off like an airhead sometimes a lot of times (even on my own blog), but I’m smart. I like to say it’s a little combo of book smart and street smart. When I was in high school, a friend from youth group who went to a different school found out that I had straight A’s (don’t worry, it was just easy high school junk and also don’t worry, I went on to get a B in chemistry), and he was shocked. That was the first time I realized that the impression I unintentionally give off is not always consistent with reality. That impression is genuine, it’s just not the whole picture.
- I am a good baker. Anymore, it seems like scratch baking is a dying art, but it really isn’t much harder than buying a mix at the store and it tastes SO. MUCH. BETTER. Please don’t start doing it if you don’t already though. I like to impress people with my scratch baking, and if everyone does it, it’s just not that impressive.
- I can type really fast. I chalk it up to chat rooms being cool back when I was in my learning-to-type years in late junior high/early high school.
- I’m excellent at Scrabble, Scattegories and Trivia Games. (See #2 above.) Seriously. You want to be on my team.
- I’m good at planning things. I make organized lists, think of details and execute well. I took a spiritual gifts test once and I scored high in the Administration/Ruling category. Yes, I rule.
Okay, so I guess I’m pretty great. Who doesn’t want to be friends with me now?


I want to be your friend!
I do scratch baking too. Except for brownies. I haven’t made it to scratch brownies yet. But scratch cake is SO much better than mix cake.
