...that i don't care what anybody else thinks of me. unfortunately, i do. i often ask mil whether or not i should cut my hair or wear a certain outfit or write a certain thing in my blog. unfortunately, as well, he is rarely able to offer much more than a "whatever you want to do, hon." (okay, maybe that's a "fortunately").
...that i didn't care what anybody else thought of me...in high school. for some reason, i always fancied myself "above the fray" because i was never popular and never made much of an attempt to be so. a more correct portrayal might have been that i was "beneath the fray" because, like many adolescent girls of my ilk, it seemed like it took a lot of work to become popular and i was lazy.
...that i am a generally nice person. the evidence is to the contrary. i rarely give up my seat on the subway to people loaded down with bags or groceries or the borderline "elderly." i purposefully walk into people when they don't make room for me on the sidewalk. and i've laughed at more politically incorrect "family guy" jokes than i'd care to mention.
...that i pull my weight at home. again, the evidence does not support this assumption. i don't know how many times mil has done my laundry or made my dinner or cleaned up after me, but i do know that the number far exceeds the times i've done so for him. all despite the fact that he currently has absolutely no free time.
anyway, just felt the need to clear the air there. anyone else have similar self-delusional thoughts?

I think you rock!
I operate under similar delusions. Can I be a nice person and still think all the catty things that I do? Maybe. Maybe not.
I tell myself that we are all allowed to be flawed.
And for all that, you are a startlingly unflawed person, Ms. Moosk. Isn't that the best we can hope for?
aw... guys, i'm blushing... well, one thing i am sure of is that i have been blessed with some really fabulous friends.
