My Favorite Part of My Body: I really appreciate my head, my brain to think, my ears to hear, my eyes to see, my tongue to taste and I have come to realized at my age that I'm actually cute. But recently I also discovered that I have amazing untrained calves. I guess it comes from the fact that I like to walk and I'm heavy so they are naturally trained.
