Day one: something you hate about yourself.
I agree with Tina on this one, hate is a very strong word and I don't often use it. So I'll tone it down to dislike, and that I can manage, easily. I blush like a freaking eskimo doll constantly. "Hello" is greated with a bright red flush of my face. "That's a beautiful necklace", again with extremely hot flushing. I don't like attention focused on me but this blushing thing has just gotten progressively worse over the past year and I have no idea why. I mean, once the ice cream guy asked what I wanted and I blushed - embarassed to be eating ice cream? No, just weirdo Andrea who can't control her blushing. Fingers crossed this is a passing phase.
Day two: something you love about yourself.
I love how I can experience things. Some days, when I'm out and about doing nothing in particular I'm literally taken aback by how beautiful the clouds are, how crisp the air is, a low fog settled over the river, just the beauty and life all around us. I know, you're thinking, "slow down there tree hugger." But I take pride in the tree hugger I am and wouldn't be disappointed if more instances like this rolled across my path. It gives me a brief second of clarity; how big the world is and how small my problems are.
Since I'm here documenting I'd also like to note that my sister is now Amy Wickstrom and our good friends Mary & Jimmy welcomed thier first little one into the world, Madeline Marie. FYI auntie Andrea and uncle Sean will be presenting Madeline with her first Minnie Mouse stuffed animal shortly in preparation for our visit to Disneyland someday. And since I don't have pictures of either of these events to share with you (at least not on this computer) I will share one of my dad and his brother Ed. I love this one because a) we are in a maritime museum and b) there are peering out the window at more boats. You'd think I'd be a boat fanatic with the ways of my father.
