Now, I'm not trying to be all philosophical or anything here, but the looking glass self always intrigued me, so I thought I'd play along with Joanna's post. These are the five words I would use to describe myself:
loving energetic athlete competitive wife.
Nothing earth shattering, clearly. I could add more words, some flattering and a few not so flattering, but at this moment in time, those are the five that speak to me, about myself. I thought it would be fun to ask Le Husband and below our conversation.
Me: Honey, describe me in five words.
Le Husband: Oh My God You're Awesome
Me: No [groans] that's not what I meant.
Le Husband: Umm…you can't ask me to do something then not use it on your blog.
Me: Pleeeeeeeaaassseee?!?!!?
Le Husband: Sigh… okay. Loving caring aggressive athletic understanding
I also reached out to my family and friends, because I thought it would be interesting to see their thoughts. Below are their answers:
Daddy: Kinetic, caring, loving, precise, buff.
Sportyspice: Smelly, bossy, rude, obnoxious and ugly {so kind, that one}.
Round two: Dedicated, loving, sweet, passionate, awesome
Babyspice: Loving, diligent, distractible, stubborn, protective.
Round two: Tiger inside a terrier's body.
BFFER, T: Trustworthy, positive, loyal, caring, supportive.
My BOFF: Spunky, devoted, loving, compassionate, inspired.
All of their descriptions made me smile and some of their words seemed almost a lil too kind. I particularly liked aggressive, buff, distractible, awesome, supportive and inspired. My looking glass self seems about on par with how people those closest to me, view who I am and that makes me happy.
How would you describe yourself in five words? Wanna take a stab at describing me!?
Loving is clearly the theme hear which even though I've never met you I can totally sense that!! I love that your husband said aggressive - take charge kind of gal and that's great!! really great idea!! xo
ReplyDeleteI really like this "exercise". As cheesy as it sounds, I might ask my friends the same thing and write it in my journal!
ReplyDeletewhat a fabulous post. i love the ones that your friends and family used, hilarious! loving and energetic - i definitely get those about you by reading your blog!
ReplyDeleteIts always nice to know how those closest to you perceive you. I love the new layout(i've been gone awhile so its new to me!)

Loving that convo between you and your hubby, hehe! ;) I kinda want to do this now too, but I feel like I'd be afraid of what my friends/family might say- lol!
ReplyDeleteOh this is so neat! I'm always curious how others perceive me, but sometimes I'm afraid to ask!
ReplyDeleteThis is so cute, "buff" for the win haha!
ReplyDeleteOh, I hate those "describe yourself" challenges, I always feel totally arrogant when I have to describe myself, so I usually let others answer for me, too :-) But I definitely like your hubby's initial response :-)
ReplyDeleteLove this! :) And I love that your hubs is so silly. :)
ReplyDeleteHa ha your husband sounds just like mine, never easy to get a straight answer out of. This is a cute post, it's always interesting to see how others see you.
