30 things for a 30 year old

I am turning 30 today. I thought I would list 30 things about myself. This is actually a result of some self analysis (doesn't that sound like shrink verbiage?) and there are some good stuff and some bad stuff areas of improvement. It is interesting that it was really hard to list the good stuff because, really, I cringed everytime I read it. However much I tried, it seems like boasting, but I have listed only things I have been told. The bad stuff are not things I have been told, but that I know to be true of myself. So here goes.

I

1. Am Hard working
2. Am Fiercely Loyal
3. Love making special memories for loved ones
4. Am generous
5. Get ready in no time
6. Am compassionate
7. Have good work ethic
8. Go over and beyond doing favors for people.
9. Have a sense of humor
10. Am frugal
11. Love all children
12. Am a good planner
13. Always rejoice at others happiness
14. Am good at atrranging a good time (travel etc) or our guests
15. Reasonably good cook who started from knowing absolutely nothing

On the other hand, I

1. Hold grudges
2. Finds it hard to forgive
3. Am impatient
4. Procrastinate
5. Get upset over small things
6. Am shy at parties
7. Am nervous about changes
8. Am opinionated
9. Am a rice addict
10. Do not do things consistently, am always falling off the wagon
11. Am very uncomfortable asking favors, making new contact, putting myself out there.
12. Find decision making hard
13. Am insecure about a lot of things
14. Am ungifted (is that even a word?) in domestic arts.
15. Am grumpy in the mornings.

I will join you on a lot of these. A fellow rice addict, huh? I freaked out our church recently; someone was giving away rice from their farm and I gladly took a bag saying that some weeks we go through 10lbs of rice (usually less, but still). They all almost fell out of their chairs.

Happy birthday! A sense of humor is a wonderful thing to have. I definitely share a lot of your areas that need improvement. Though I'm not positive that "rice addict" is necessarily a bad thing. ;)
