Girly

2010

I just spent the past hour getting ready to go to a casual dinner with my family and a friend. Well, if you count shower time and looking around time more like two hours getting ready. As we are about to walk out the door Monty walks in the room changes shirts and declares he's ready to go. I thought to myself, "Well that must be nice to just change shirts and be ready."

Immediately, I took it back. It wouldn't be nice. Not at all. It would suck. When I have the time, I LOVE getting ready. I love taking a long shower and then walking around for a while thinking about what to wear, maybe laying a couple things out on the bed making my outfit choices. I love it when I have time to put on some bronzer to make me shine and glow a bit.

My jewelry box overflows with earrings, bracelets, necklaces and pins. I have things in there given to me by my grandmothers who I don't remember but they knew me and they set these pretty things aside for me to have. I love seeing them. It makes me smile and feel special.

I have boxes and drawers full of makeup from simple everyday stuff to glittery impractical stuff like fake eyelashes with rhinestones on them or white feather eyelashes. When will I ever wear these? I don't know! But it's fun to have them.

I get all giddy inside when I walk into a Sephora and can spend hours upon hours looking, touching and trying on all the pretty things. Taking my time to leisurely do my make-up and make choices about what colors to put on based on what I am wearing is so much fun!  I like walking around the house in one outfit to see if it looks good then tossing it aside to try on others.

I dig glitz and glam and 5 inch patent leather platform heels. All these things make me happy- make me "girly" and I love it!
