your mission, should you choose to accept. . .

I'm taking the beauty test in the November issue of O magazine. One of the questions is to pick 5 characteristics from this list that you think most accurately describe you. It says that our greatest strengths are often invisible to us (I'm so so so hard on myself so this is especially true for me) so we can and should get feedback from those who know us well. If you know me well, or even well enough, help me out in the comments!

smart, knowledgeable, honest, excellent writer, funny, empathetic, great parent, excellent cook, caring, gentle, musical, in excellent shape, strict, capable, watchful, entertaining, great friend, high achiever at work, artistic, excellent hostess, confident, inventive, organized, powerful, humble, reliable, outgoing, excellent caretaker, rational, conventional, personable, giver, authentic, unconventional, dependent, neat, breadwinner, holder of high standards, good-looking, politically active, easygoing, moral, rich, sexy, passionate, supportive, athletic, stylish, wise, famous, loyal, unflappable, independent, leader, content, inspiring, spontaneous

I'm gonna say

1. Holder of high standards
2. organized
3. independent
4. stylish (I think sophisticated fits better, but its not listed...)
5. Honest.
6. IN SHAPE ( I know that its six, but just deal...)

I don't know you that well, but I think you are impressive. So I guess you could add inspiring to that list too...
