Girly-Girl

For those who haven't had the pleasure of making my acquaintance, I must confess - I don't exactly exude femininity. I think I must have ground my lacy, pink invitation to "Girl World" into the ground with my soccer cleat when I was 10. With a laugh a little too loud and a tendency to prefer hanging out with the guys, I'm often singing the 'one of these girls is not like the other' song in my head.
It's not that I don't try, it's just that...I don't try very hard. :) Most of the time I find the make-up/hair-curling/clothes-less-than-five-years-old thing to be more effort than I can muster. And yet...sometimes the effort can be worth it... So I'm here today to inform you all that I have made a decision:

If nothing else, my push ups will be girly!

At least until I can do the real kind without dying... :)

I like it. I love it. When I was a kid, there was actually a club in my neighborhood called the Sugar and Spice club. I was banned. Since then, I've had little use for extreme girliness, though I'm finding I like to be a bit girly at times, the extremities of girliness make me irritable. :) Baby showers, for example.

An excellent decision! It is always a bit hard on the male ego when a girl can do more real push-ups than he. Thanks for making me laugh! :)

This from the girl who at 5 years of age wanted nothing more than to wear pink all the time and be a ballerina!

Have I ever mentioned that I love you?

Depending on the subject I would be anywhere from a girly-girl to the furtherest thing from it. I like it that way.

P.S. I still do my pushups the girl style! :)
