Meme Or Not Meme?

My pal over at Such Simple Pleasures tagged me for a new meme and I am just now getting around to it...sorry!

So, the rules for this meme are...copy and paste the 12 months and their characteristics. Highlight the traits that are yours and, of course, make some snide comment about it, or you can be serious, too...if that's what floats your boat. Then tag 12...won't be easy seeing as Such Simple Pleasures has tagged most of the blogs I frequent! My birthday is September 6th (mark your calendars!)...let's see what it has to say about me, shall we?

Suave and compromising: Hmmm...I don't think so.
Careful: Not really, so far this is making me out to be pretty lame.
Cautious and organized: I wish I were more organized on a regular basis. I usually don't get organized until I am so overwhelmed by the chaos. But, once I get organized I like it.
Likes to point out people’s mistakes: Who doesn't? It makes you look smarter, right?
Likes to criticize: Only in fun!
Stubborn: Well if you don't cross me and do whatever I want I am not stubborn!
Quiet but able to talk well: Quiet, no. If I were quiet nobody would ever hear me especially around my family! My husband is constantly shushing me and telling me to stop yelling. It isn't my fault, as my mom says it is a genetic defect. I consider it more of an asset than a defect; nobody ever has to ask me to repeat myself (well, except Travis who has learned how to tune me out!) But, it is half right; I am able to talk well.
Calm and cool: I guess so.
Kind and sympathetic: I am not really sympathetic. I hate listening to people complain. I don't deal well with sick people; I have to dig deep to be sympathetic to my kids when they are sick. I usually don't have it in me to be sympathetic to Travis when he is sick. But, I try to be kind.
Concerned and detailed:
Loyal but not always honest: I am the most loyal friend you ever will meet! How can you say that I like to criticize and point out people's mistakes but I am not honest? I think I am pretty darn honest!
Does work well: I am a hard working dog!
Very confident: Yep. People who aren't confident annoy me! Which reminds me of a conversation I just had with Jack.
Me: Who is the prettiest girl in your class?
Jack: Parker.
Me: Who is the smartest kid in your class?
Jack: Me.
Me: Who is the funniest?
Jack: Me.
Me: Who is the most handsome boy in the class?
Jack: Me.
Jack: Aren't you going to ask me who is the fastest runner?
Me: Sure, who is the fastest runner?
Jack: Me, of course!
He is his mommy's son!
Sensitive: I have feelings, but I think most people would consider me a little insensitive. I know my sister who I teased mercilessly growing up would say so!
Good memory: Not a chance. I can hardly remember what I had for dinner.
Clever and knowledgeable: Clever, witty, sarcastic, that's me! When my grandpa didn't know the answer to something he would come up with an elaborate explanation in attempts to make people think he knew what he was talking about. We used to call it a "fake-a-fact". I must say I have been working on perfecting this art ever since Jack started hitting me with the insane amount of questions he poses daily. Loves to look for information: I don't like to look for information that sounds like research which sounds like studying. I like to learn, but I prefer to have the knowledge wrapped up in a nice little gift!
Must control oneself when criticizing: I don't have to control myself if I don't want to! I probably should, but I must admit I don't always!
Able to motivate oneself: Absolutely, I think that is why I was so successful in sales!
Understanding: Nope, not at all.
Fun to be around: I think so, but remember I am confident!
Secretive: Nope again! I learned a long time ago that if you want to get what you want you need to let people know. I am an open book. I tell people what I want and wear my emotions on my sleeve.
Loves leisure and traveling: I sure do, but it is not easy to come by with three kids under 5!
Hardly shows emotions: See secretive.
Tends to bottle up feelings: ditto
Very choosy especially in relationships: Life is too short to not be choosy!
Systematic: I guess.
