Not a Girly-Girl

I've never been accused of being feminine. I don't get manicures or pedicures, I don't wear dresses or shorts unless forced, I take only the minimal amount of time to out on makeup, and that's only during the week. When I'm not working, I don't wear makeup.
I used to paint my grandmother's nails and give her manicures, but I'm absolutely terrible at treating myself to such luxuries. When I try to paint my own nails, it looks sloppy and awful.
I hate clothes shopping with a burning passion. I'd rather do yard work than go clothes shopping. I'd rather eat liver than go clothes shopping. I wear jeans and t-shirts exclusively, which is boring but comfortable.
Maybe my poor sense of self-esteem is to blame? You can see by my headline picture that I love glamor, but I cannot see myself in that way. I'd like to, to a certain extent. I'm certainly not going to out forth the effort that most women do, but I would like to change my appearance. I'm not happy with this one.

A Fox in the Henhouse



Not really, but we did have a raccoon in the office yesterday. My co-worker was quite surprised when he ambled into her cubicle. Our boss would have been even more surprised if she had been in her office when it fell through the ceiling.....
