Oh boy.
I'm not sure I like this one. Partly because I might totally miss the mark...and partly because if I'm too nice to myself, then it looks like I'm bragging. But I can't skip a day because then it becomes 29 days...and I just can't have that. So I shall give it my best effort.
How I think others view me.

- Quirky
- Funny
- Victim of moments that could not possibly happen to anyone else with such frequency
- Loyal
- Creative
- Good Cook (some might even venture to say great cook)
- Strong (that would be inner strength...not the kind of strength that opens pickle jars)
- Self-disciplined
- Principally opposed to sick days
- Scheduled/Good Planner (must be the response to being an unplanned child!)
- Responsible
- Lover of God (that should have been first on the list but I am using this bullet point thing for the first time and am having technical difficulties...and I'm not starting over)
- Frugal
Okay that's enough. I can't do that anymore! Hopefully I got a few right. If I'm so wrong, please correct me. Gently.
And how about you? How do people see you? (It's harder than you think to make a list! But you should do it. And then I'll tell you what you missed about YOU!)

I think you did well! I am not opposed to any of the things you said about yourself, although I'm not sure that I've had your cooking...so I'll take your word for it! You ARE a baking machine at Christmas time! Which reminds me, you DID send me cookies one time in the mail! Ok, now I can agree with all of them. I've eaten your cookies. :)
I agree with your list and have two more (off the top of my head) to add:
1. Thoughtful
2. A great hostess
Jenna - you crack me up. Thank goodness I sent you those cookies! Okay next time I visit, I MUST cook a meal for you and Frog. End of story.
Christina - Awww, thanks! Remember our early days of hostessing each other for dinner in the townhouses/UC?
I think you need to add
GREAT FRIEND! :)
Thanks, Phats!! And I'm glad it was a good day yesterday - Boiler Up!
OK. I can't really assess your list the same way Christina and Phats and your other close-by friends can. But I do remember when my mom & I met you when we were on our trip, and the waiter asked if we were old friends catching up. Yes, we were.
Bekah, you are an "old friend" in that comfortable way, even to new friends. :o)
How do people see me, you ask?
When I was unemployed, I met most of my daughter's co-workers ("Mom! I forgot my lunch. Can you bring it?"). Not too long ago, my daughter told me that Sam at her work said he saw me at Costco but wasn't entirely sure it was me, so he didn't say anything. She did an impression of Sam doing an impression of me pushing my cart through Costco with a silly little smile on my face. When he did that, she told him, "Yes, that's my mom." I told my Bible study about it, and they thought it was perfect.
So that's how others view me.
SkyePuppy - I'd forgotten that comment from the waiter! But yes - you do feel like an old soul friend I've known forever.
And I LOVE the costco story! LOVE!!!
