Happy Biiiirthday Toooooo Meeeeee

Thanks Mom! For the lovely flower birthday cake (that Coco already tried to eat) and for the whole giving birth to me thing. I owe you big. (Thanks, too, Dad, for your contribution to the aforementioned items, although I think we both know who deserves all the credit)In honor of the 34 years I've been on the planet and an attempt at more self-love, here are 34 things I love (or at least like) about myself:

1) I make beautiful kids
2) My height (used to hate this, but have learned to embrace it)
3) I don't hold grudges
4) Naturally straight teeth
5) The fact that I thought I could come up with 34 of these things
6) Thick hair (when straight)
7) Good intentions
8) Niceness
9) Not too much niceness
