Stealing an idea
I am stealing (with permission) this idea from TxMommy.
10 Things I like about me (in no particular order):
1. I am fiercely loyal - if you're on my "List of Favorite People," you are there for life. The list isn't very long, but it's iron-clad.
2. my eyes - they are blue and can change shades depending on my mood. They are also one of the only physical features that were passed on to my son (the rest of him is all DH).
3. I am a damn good teacher. I have a passion for my students and feel that no one can teach them what they need to know as well as I can. (not very humble, I know, but it's how I feel)
4. I love to learn. I could spend hours researching a topic and I have such a useless fount of information just floating around in my head that I am a force to be reckoned with when playing Trival Pursuit. I feel the only reason you should stop learning is because you are dead.
5. I am generous. Sometimes I am generous to a fault, but it can never be said that I don't give of myself.
6. I am open-minded. I accept all walks of life, shades of skin, and tenets of faith. I think the world is a far more interesting place to live when you are open-minded, rather than just staring at the same 4 walls of your own little box of beliefs. Everybody has something to contribute to the world, if you give them the chance to do so.
7. I love animals. Especially mine! 
8. I love words. I love to read them and write them. I love to say them and hear them. I love to know what they mean and how they can be used with other words. I love that I love words.
9. I am a homebody. I find the most comfort in my own home, with my own things, with my own family. I think that shows how comfortable you are with yourself if you are comfortable in the space you create. I guess I am pretty comfortable with myself.
10. I am not afraid to speak up for myself or for those that I care about. Life is too short to sit back and just "take it." I expect everyone to treat me with respect and dignity. "You teach people how to treat you." If you don't treat me with dignity and respect, I'll teach you (and again, refer to #3).
Thanks for the idea, TxMommy! This was very empowering!
