This is such a tough question. It’s like when they want you to list certain attributes in a job interview, sell yourself. I’m always worried that I’ll come off braggy. But then if you have none, yikes, red flag.

I think maybe it’s a generational thing and my kids will probably find this an easier task than I ever have.

A physical description would be easy, five foot seven, average build, long-ish black hair, blue eyes. There, done.

But that’s probably not what they meant. Okay here goes.

I don’t like people who brag. I don’t like drama. I’m very matter of fact and practical. Too black and white, trying to be more grey. When I was younger I thought I knew everything. I thought because I got my career, got married, had kids, bought a house, that life would just automatically roll out a red carpet for me and be easy. It wasn’t. It all fell apart.

It humbled me and I started actually paying attention to life and what I needed to learn from it and from other people.

I am a people person, I like people, they are interesting. I used to be too nosey but I’ve reined that in a bit.

I am funny, like a little bit. And I love being around people who make me laugh, like my kids. I’m very laid back and have been told I have too much patience lol. That’s not to say I don’t get angry because I do but it takes a lot and then it spills out like an erupting volcano.

I like cooking and baking and being in the kitchen. I like working out and doing yoga and going for walks. I’m actually pretty vain and you’ll never see me without makeup on. If I was born naturally pretty, then sure, but I wasn’t and so every bit helps.

I suck at making small talk. Can’t do it. I really only like talking about things that matter.

I’m forty-seven and I just got my first real tattoos two days ago!
