29 things I love about me

yah, it's my birthday - and keeping up with the tradition of listing the age in years of things I love about each family member who has a birthday - here's my list of 29 things I love about myself...(don't even GO there!! Just nod & smile, yes, I'm 29, SHUT UP!)

1 - I love that, even though the last 12 years have been bad hair years for me, I still manage to get out in public. I'm brave.
2 - my deodorant ROCKS - I can totally get nervous when I'm telling people how old I am - and the deodorant totally kicks up to high gear - never let 'em see me sweat.
3 - I rarely have to buy new shoes, 4 years in a row on my flip flops...and my running shoes, still look BRAND NEW (no, you're not allowed to snicker at that)
4 - I still fit into the same clothes I wore 7 years ago, I KNOW, "wow," right?
5 - I've caught up on laundry at least 15 times since Howie was born.
6 - I only have to shave once a week, fine blonde leg hair - (poor Kali gets HERS from her dad!)
7 - I'm not pregnant.
8 - I have a trophy husband.
9 - I get to watch reality TV smut in the middle of the night when ALMOST everyone else is sleeping (thanks, Coby)
10 - Haven't gotten hot flashes yet this late in my life. Phew.
11 - Haven't had my period in almost a year (oh YAH, I went there, I mean who WOULDN'T love that about themselves?)
12 - 5 out of 6 children think I'm pretty cool (the other thinks I'm warm milk)
13 - I don't do dishes on Saturdays.
14 - They're LAUGH LINES not CROWS FEET
15 - God highlights my hair - Grey's the new blonde, and cheaper, too.
16 - I'm not pregnant. Still. I *REALLY* like that about myself.
17 - I'm secure enough I don't HAVE to have the door shut when I tinkle. I don't get stage fright with little eyes watching me, either. SO THERE, BRYNN!
18 - I can nurse AND load the dishwasher at the same time.
19 - I "Killed the Metal" on Guitar Hero III level HARD. indeed.
20 - I haven't gotten in a fight with myself ALL DAY...woot woot!
21 - I can change a diaper with my eyes shut.
22 - I'm not pregnant.
23 - Just trying to take up space, I can't believe I have to think up 6 more things. Glad I'm not older.
25 - Even though I know how to count, I still have the ability to skip numbers without anyone knowing unless I bring it to their attention {cough, cough 24, cough cough)
26 - I have never folded to the pressure of those "get thin quick" infomercials. I have yet to see one whose theory is to stay away from M&Ms...
27 - I can still fit into my size 3 wedding dress.
28 - If you believe #27, then you'll believe I'm pregnant.
29 - I know how to effectively work a table saw, router, sander, chop saw, nail gun AND my HUSBAND.

Love your list, but you forgot to mention how happy you are that you're not pregnant.

Are they still laugh lines if they're on your butt?

Happy Birthday and I'm so glad you still know how to skip count, I almost forgot how to do that!!! :)

What kind of deodorant do you use? I'm in the market for something new. That works.
