My girlie gene is weak!

Not many purses fit my arms, but as I lose they will start too. I still love purses, I will either have them be a litte tight or get a shoulder strap purse or put them on my wrist etc. But I am a purse junkie, I have quite a few purses that cost over 100 dollars. Yes I know horrible, but that's from when our house caught on fire and my mom and I spoiled ourselves for having to stay in a house covered with black smoke, and not living with heat from august until february and having to wear coats and blankets all over us inside :tongue2:

I'd classify myself as a TomBoy Princess. I grew up in a "country" and I mean small town country town. Our neighborhood had about 10 boys, me and one other girl. We both had to be tomboys for self preservation. I loved to climb trees, swim, shoot (bb guns & bows & arrows) and could ride my bike with the rest of them. However, I did it often in a dress.

My father loved me in dresses and to be honest I like to hear how "pretty" I looked. I was a vain little girl, what can I say? So I'd put on a dress, go play in the field and come back home filthy. He would get SO mad! LOL...it was his fault though.

Today - I wear dresses and suits because I have to for work. At my heaviest I wore only pant suits, but now that my legs are getting better (at least from the knee down) I'm wearing more skirts.

When I get home, actually in the car on the way home, the shoes are the first to go. I hate wearing shoes! I'm a barefoot gal! If I'm not going anywhere it's PJ bottoms and tank tops...ah, comfort.

I do wear some makeup, but not much. I indulge in the occassional pedicure too - I have to something for me every now and then. That massage chair and having someone rub my feet feels like heaven! I've become a purse addict too. I love TJMAX (The evil little store it is)

So I guess I'm still a tomboy princess...just grown up.

hey gg207 - it's so sad. My trunk fills in for my closet at home. Just this morning I was rummaging through to find a pair of shoes that matched my skirt and top today - lol. I go through about once a month and take them in. I don't know why I bother - they'll end up there within days...

lol - your driving test! hehehehe...that's funny.

I don't get that! If lawmakers ever drove in heels, they'd allow barefoot drivers! :)

I don't wear heels (I'm 6 ft tall, I'm already towering over everyone, do I really need to be more intimidating)

I don't carry a purse (I carry a wallet, no not like a wallet on a chain (not that there's anything wrong with that))

I don't like sappy love movies, you know traditional girlie flicks, the only kind of movies I like with women who kick a&&.

I don't paint my nails, I do usually do my toes.

I didn't have a mani or pedi until January of this year. I would do the pedi again, but saw the mani as a waste of money.

I don't wear dresses. I only own a few for funerals and weddings.

I like to fish, I don't mind baiting my own hook or cleaning the fish when I'm done.

I do get my haircut pretty religiously, I do splurge on that.

I don't wear pantyhose. If it requires pantyhose, it just wasn't meant to be...I'm pretty sure that they could use pantyhose to get terrorists to spill their secrets...It might be the new waterboarding

I've never had the thought "Oh cool, a tiara"

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
