Tagged....again.

This is actually a good one and it does help to build the self-esteem. I just got back from making hundreds of pounds of Italian sausage with my parents' neighbors, it was fun. I smell like dead animal and garlic, but what the hell.? So I turn on my computer and read a few of my favorite blogs and I have been tagged by Missy. So here it goes.

List 7 things I like about me:

# 1). I am very honest. Sometimes, almost too honest which can be misconstrued as "out spoken." I don't mean to hurt anyone's feelings, nor would I tell someone they look awful in their new dress, but I do speak my mind and I don't play games.

2). I don't play games. What you see is what you get. I guess that would go with the honesty part. I just hate head games and refuse to engage in them.

3). I am a good mom. (Sorry, Missy, I am really not trying to "copy" you but your words were very good). I sure hope to God that at some point, in one or both of my boyz' life, they are not stretched on some shrink's couch arguing this point. But I have done most of the child rearing on my own, even when my husband and I still lived under the same roof. I've done the best I can.

4). I am a great listener. I have always had people confide in me just about everything. I may not agree with whomever, but I will listen and offer advise as needed. Sometimes I feel I am the town sounding board and there is no one available when I need someone to talk with. I think that is how I got into blogging. I share everything with Sweetie, but somethings you just have to it write out vs. talk out.

5). I love life and love to live life to its fullest. Meaning: Yeah, I love to laugh, dance, sing, drink (not excessively) but in a great social setting and I love to see the same in others. We only get one chance at this life and there is nothing, materially, we can take with us upon death, so why not have a great time?

6). I am not materialistic. I have, unfortunately expensive taste, but I am not materialistic. The simplest things in life mean more to me than anything. I would much rather share an evening with my family, Sweetie and friends than have a cruise around the world. I know that, in itself, sounds very simplistic, but that is how I view life. It's the simple things in life that matter more to me than anything.

#7). Now, the vanity parts I like about me. I will be 43 years old in about six weeks........eewwwwww.......I am very proud of the fact that I have managed to keep my weight in check........still have the same amount of energy as I did when I was half this age and I really don't have too many wrinkles. Laugh lines do not count! It's the sad person who has no laugh lines! I have a grey streak that I refer to as Cruella DeVille, or my boyz...but that, too, is managable..........dark hair dye.........just a little and prey it doesn't turn red.

So, I guess this sums it up? Maybe?

Thank you, Missy..........I didn't realize I was tagged by you until I went to leave you a comment and glanced at the screen and saw my name. This was fun!

Ciao, Angie
