Do you read war stories? Fictional ones? Histories?

In some ways I do ready war stories, although, they are mostly ~ if not all ~ fictional.
I'm a big fan of vampires, werewolves and the like. So while those stories usually don't have a full out "war" most of the time, there are war "times".

You have the Pendragon series which is the typical (and untypical) war against good and evil.

The most recent book about war that I've read is the Council Wars by John Ringo. I haven't finished the series yet but I'm enthralled by it.

Day 2 - Something you love about yourself.

You'd think this one would be easy. But it's much easier to find things you hate about yourself than it is to find things you love about yourself. Many people go through a period of time of self-doubt, low self-esteem the works. I couldn't tell you WHEN I got out of that phase, but I have.

I wish I could put a cute little story here, but alas, I have none. So I'll do a simple little list:

• My cooking.
• My crochet.
• My knack at being able to find anything online.
• My love of books.
• Being able to listen.
• My laugh.
• My hair.
• My understanding.
• My happiness.
• My sanity.
• My insanity.
• My tattoos.
• My scars (even the stretchmarks.)

Now, that feels like bragging, don't it?

Day 1 - What I hate about myself.

I'll preface this by stating, I'm joining Sarah with 30 days of Truth. I'll post the list of days at the end.




Simple truth, I hate my teeth.

I lost the genetic lottery where it comes to my teeth. They've always been crooked, heck I had/have two rows of teeth. Lovely huh?
After 2 kids, my teeth said "Screw this" and I snapped 3 of my front teeth in 3 weeks. That was a joyful occasion.
All but my bottom 6 front teeth are screwed. They are at gum line, with exposed roots and everything. People are always wondering how I'm able to eat, I'm so use to aches and pains in my mouth that unless my gums swell, whether over the teeth or not. That's the only time my teeth hurt.

I hate my teeth.
I hate being unmotivated to do what needs to be done.
I hate my dry skin.
I hate my short fingers.
I hate my chipmunk cheeks.
