Okay, so I have played along with all of the little games of Blog Tagging that has gone on over time.
I decided to make up one of my own. I think this one will be pretty fun.
I would love it if you would all play along but if you can’t stand stuff like this, I understand.
It’s still ALOT of fun to read other peoples! 😉
Here we go. The (very loose) rules:
1. List 5 things you do NOT love about yourself.
2. Then list 5 things you DO love about yourself.
3. Tag 5 other people.
4. Check back with the 5 people you tagged. You may be surprised to find out how many things you have in common.
It’s quite interesting when we find out that for all of those things we dislike about ourselves, there are just as many, if not even MORE that we discover we love about ourself!
Here is my list….
1. My skin color. I have Japanese skin that is a very special shade of yellow. Not a fair porcelain or an olive tone. But what I like to call…..Simpson’s Hue.
2. I am extremely indecisive. When it comes time for dinner, I have a panic attack. When a friend asks where we should go for lunch, my stomach and my brain suffer total lock-down.
3. I am very hyper critical. Of both myself and of others. Not a becoming trait but I find myself doing it without even thinking about it. Until AFTER I’ve criticized. At which time, I feel totally horrible about it!
4. My teeth. I have the unhealthiest teeth of just about anyone I know. More silver than a Nevada Mineshaft.
5. I am fatally addicted to sugar. I need it in my morning coffee, my afternoon coffee and most definitely require a fair amount of grams in my evening desert!
1.
My eye color. I’ve received complements my entire life about my green eyes. No matter how crappy my skin might look on any particular day, I am always happy with my eyes!2. My Creativity. I can’t function unless I have some sort of project in my midst. Photography, Crochet, Jewelry making, Collage, Watercolor, Drawing. I love creating so much, I produced three very beautiful works of art together with my husband. (Zoe, Zachary and Zander)
3. My handwriting. Not too sloppy, not too perfect. Not too thin, not too bubbly. I even got hired for a job based solely on my handwriting on the Application.
4. My womanly curves. I may weigh 30 lbs more than I did when I first met my husband. But those wide hips helped bear my three beautiful babies and I certainly wouldn’t take back those moments for anything in the world! (Besides, I can totally rock a pencil skirt, thanks to the “junk” in my “trunk” and I can walk into a Victoria’s Secret with my head~and the “girls” held high!) 😉
5. My nose. When I was younger, I thought I looked like Miss Piggy but I have grown to love my slightly upturned, cute as a button nose!
Now for yours! Let me know if you’re playing along, so I can read your lists. And don’t forget to tag some of your friends and family who you’d like to learn a little more about.

Thank you for not tagging your mother! The list of things I do not like about myself would be too long to list and the list about the things I do like would be way too short. I will tell you the top two: I do not like that I have a lot less patience than I should have, especially since your Father is the very epitome of patience. The thing I do like is that I am a very spiritual-minded person and feel the happiest when I fill my spiritual needs as fully as possible through the activities that I know God requires of me.
Your list is very accurate and I agree with them, except your skin colour which I find much nicer than mine which is best described as fluorescent white. Be thankful that I married a Japanese man with great pigment to even things out.
I agree with your mom, I think your skin color is awesome. I am totally jealous of it. You look amazing in all the colors that I like and can’t have within five feet of my face, or I look like I am deathly ill. I do think that you are right about your creativity though. I think that is what of the things I most admire about you. You are fearlessly creative, always willing to dive in head first and succeed at a new way of expressing yourself.
As for me, I suppose I will let you in on two each of things I do and do not like about myself.
Do Not :
I am short. Nothing fits me without altering. Ever. Mini skirts come to my knees and I trip on my pants if I don’t hem them.
I can be a bit of a scaredy cat sometimes. I am not sure what I am afraid of, since I have never broken any bones, but nonetheless I get ridiculously nervous when I am on something high, or going fast. It is something that I am working on and soon I will be racing around on high wires with numerous broken limbs. 🙂 j/k
Do:
My boobs. I hated them when I was younger and thought it horrible that nothing could drape on me, now I have come to terms and love them. As a friend once told me, I have cleavage in a turtleneck. It’s great. 🙂
I am smart and love to learn new things. I know sometimes I come across as the dippy blonde, because it doesn’t take a lot to get me excited(can we say yarn baller?), but I really do have some brains inside my platinum head, I swear. 🙂 My close friends all know this and I love them for it.
Whew that was a fairly long post. Hope I left enough room for everyone else. 🙂
What fun! I shall play tag with you;)
I am in constant awe of your creativity. I wish I could do the things you do.
Gorgeous photo of “glowing bud!”
