What are three things that are awesome about you?

What are three things that are awesome about you?

Today was balls. For no particular reason. I propose that we all write down three things that are fantastic about ourselves because you know what? Sometimes you need to celebrate how fabulous you are!

I’ll start…

1. I’m a really, really loyal friend.

And once someone is my friend they are in for life. Much like a jail sentence.

2. I’m consciously and consistently healthy.

To the point where I annoy myself. I make my lunch every single day and I reserve the right to be smug about it.

3. Anywhere I go, my hair is generally the most awesome.

It’s true.

What about you love? What’s awesome about you? Be honest! I was!

Love Lady Smaggle

    Ha! One day I will meet you and we will have a hair-off! You better bring it!

    Plus, I speak Maori and I LOVE laughing.

    1. I am always on time. Always.
    2. I am full of ideas. I’m your go to girl.
    3. I can cook a mean chocolate pavlova.

    hahahha, you are so right about your hair!!

    1. I can bring a simpsons quote into any conversation
    2. I am (like fat mum slim) punctual
    3. I am ridiculously organised. All the time.

    Haha I was going to say I had awesome hair (at least I do this week!!) I think it’s awesome that I am way to young to be doing what I am doing career-wise plus I bake mean sweet goodness any
    day of the week. Feeeling better about myself already ๐Ÿ™‚

    1. I give good hugs.
    2. I’m good at pantry cooking – if you’ve got some old looking zucchinis, some shrivelled up mushies and a pantry with random bits in it – I am your woman.
    3. I’ve got nice eyes.

  6. LaLa 14 years ago

    Thanks for making me feel better than I did 10 minutes ago. Looks like there’s a fourth thing that awesome about you!

  7. kathryn 14 years ago

    1. I am funny
    2. I’m good at remembering stuff (not practical stuff just details about things and trivia and that kind of thing).
    3. I always tell people when I think their shoes are awesome.

    I can verify your third point happily. I swear, this year at LMFF I noticed more than one whistful and jealous glance after your mane my dear.

    As for me:

    1) Apparently I’m a great kisser. There was a rumor and everything…

    2) I’m early to a fault, usually 15 minutes.

    3) Like Smaggle, I’m a scarily loyal friend. In the past this has lead to: theft, battery, slander, and dancing-dirtily with the grossest man you could ever possibly imagine, just to make my friends laugh.

    Thanks for this darling, it’s really perked me up this evening ๐Ÿ˜€

    I have an amazing collection of shoes & hats and often have random people come up to me and ask where they are from and how fab looking they are. Makes my day – always

    my chocolate brownies rule

    i know far too much about the royal family for my own good and am actually subscribed to majesty magazine. This, in my own eyes, makes me mega cool

    1. There’s not much in life that I can’t do at least adequately if not well.
    2. I take (considered) risks.
    3. I am extremely patient and empathetic.

    1. I always bring art into my life. I didn’t like my schoolbag, so I painted a pyschedelic image on it, I paint designs all over my furniture, I draw on my homework to make it more interesting for my teacher. Everything I own gets painted on, ripped up, sewn together until it becomes my own brand.

    2. I am shit good at working with children. Kids generally love me. Even the crazy ones. Especially the crazy ones.

    3. I am apparently a very good listener/therapist. I have been nicknamed ‘The Shoulder’. I am everyone’s shoulder to cry on. And it’s kinda nice to be needed.

  12. Sarah 14 years ago

    1. I make my dreams come true – I’m a Canberra girl currently living and working in New York City, which has been my dream since I was a little girl.

    2. I make a point of smiling when I walk into a room, and people usually smile back at me.

    3. I write really good emails.

    Thanks Lady Smaggle, you really are awesome xx

    * I am an excellent gift giver.
    I will remember that salt and pepper set you used to love at that one cafe three years ago. I will then find it and give it to you for your birthday.

    * I have really nice lips.
    Nary a gentleman caller has failed to comment on them. Ahem.

    * I can live decadently on a really tight budget.
    Of course, this is less impressive when I insist on telling you that omigodthispursewastendollars!

  14. J. 14 years ago

    You are SO awesome, yourself.
    * I am super at enjoying the little things.
    * I am very good at making a situation that wouldn’t have been my/our first choice in to a great one for all involved.
    * I am really good at living within limited means, without feeling that I do (and, just in case that was too close to no. 2: I have great legs! Even after 3 pregnancies!)
    Thanks for making all your readers feel so great!

  15. E 14 years ago

    * I am insanely loyal. I loves my peoples.
    * I’m ridiculous. In a good way. I’ll make you laugh.
    * I have excellent vintage hunting skills.

    We’re all so very outstanding, non?
    ** STANDING OVATION**

    1. I am an awesome organiser. I tend to organise myself and everyone else simply by instinct alone!

    2. I am awesome with computers! I am such a geek. People are often surprised when they find out that I’m a computer ninja – I think my pink laptop puts them off haha.

    3. I have an awesome hourglass figure and I love it.

    WE ALL ROCK!

  17. Jo 14 years ago

    This is a great way to lift the spirits!
    1. I am a fabulous friend – I listen, I step up when needed, I am caring and loyal.
    2. I am not afraid to try things with my body – dance, crazy outdoor sports, etc.
    3. I am easy to please – I find pleasure in any moment, meal, or experience.

  18. co-dependant smaggle 14 years ago

    Here goes …

    1. I have a sincere laugh – which has a contageous sprinkle ; )
    2. I could mend pretty much any broken heart
    3. I have been to more countries than anyone I know and am off to another one this year – awesome.

    Ta da! Thanks Lady xx

  19. Na 14 years ago

    Feel better darling. You’re wonderful even if your day wasn’t.
    Onto self-promotion:

    1. I am quite smart
    2. I have often been told I have a good laugh
    3. I make the most awesome banana cake in the world.

    HOORAY ME! And a third one… if you need someone to drink away your sorrows with, you always know that I’m there for you. WITH BELLS ON! xx

  20. Na 14 years ago

    THIRD ONE? Apparently I’m not that smart. FOURTH one. god.

  21. Ann 14 years ago

    wow, I’m posting a link for this in my blog!=)
    Hope it’s ok,=).

    Love your blog!=)

  22. nessbow 14 years ago

    * I am super-organized and rarely lose or forget anything.
    * I’m an excellent kisser
    * I have a frighteningly accurate memory. I can recall the most banal details of uneventful encounters in seconds, which freaks my friends out no end.

  23. Jimph 14 years ago

    I’m a delicious cook.
    I am a loving and caring person.
    I am a mighty fine director.
    and I love you, lady…

  24. Alex 14 years ago

    I am not sure that I can think of three things but I can think of one..

    I make people laugh. I love being told that I’m the funniest person someone knows or that I constantly crack people up. ๐Ÿ™‚

  25. bianca 14 years ago

    1. My face is very expressive. If I’m feeling something, you’ll know exactly what i feel. or what i want you to think i feel
    2. I’m really strong ( i can lift girls above my head)
    3. I can take charge over people if I need to, and be a fair leader.

    Not entirely sure if some people would find them good, but I do.

  26. dr stumpy 14 years ago

    1. I am good at my job. Really good.
    2. I have lovely long eye lashes (although not as long as my brother – werid how boys always have great eye lashes).
    3. I’m good in an emergancy (ie bossy) – maybe that helps in point 1 (I’m a teacher).

  27. Fifi 14 years ago

    You are beautiful.

    1. I’m stupidly affectionate: I touch, hug, kiss, hold hands with and use pet diminutives for those I care about ALL the time.
    2. Nothing, but nothing gets in the way of the things I am super-crazy passionate about. As a bonus, I’m also really good at the things I’m super-crazy passionate about.
    3. I have (and I quote a dear (married) friend of mine) “fucking sensational breasts”.

  28. Vikki 14 years ago

    I’m late to the party on this one, but as someone once said better late than never…
    1, am very loyal to my friends, yes some of them have done pretty stupid things – passed out in nightclubs, decided to chase their boyfriend down the stairs at 3am in the morning and twisted their ankle (hello casualty) , got so drunk they threw up over their shoes, but I have yet to walk away and leave them to deal, I mean what are friends for?
    2, I get ridiculously overexcited about the things I care about, yes I realise it is cooler to be nonchalant about everything but that would make you a beige person, and I’m def not one of those.
    3. I’m pretty happy most of the time, I get down like everyone does but I can pick myself up too.

    Thank you lady that was delightful.

    Vikki x
