That Girl

Last week, I posted about how I have changed as I have aged. This got me thinking about how I have not changed. Meanwhile, a post at Me, My Soldier and Our Four Little Chicks, inspired me to write this:

I am still that girl who

• Feels awkward at parties
• Plays the car stereo way too loud
• Eats too fast
• Loves a good book and a hot drink
• Will constantly pan the horizon for bears and mountain lions when hiking
• Loves dogs
• Is convinced her butt takes up 50% of the space in any given room
• Shops too much
• Feels complete, uncontrollable rage about how unfair life can be
• Talks way too much and too fast and interrupts others
• Wakes up terrified in the middle of the night
• Walks like an elephant
• Cries easily
• Loves hugs whenever, from whomever
• Wants to fit in
• Yet dislikes almost anything mainstream
• Would rather hotel it than tent it
• Questions herself far too often
• Loves to nap, color, and creative playtime
• Digs all things funny
