Girly Girls

As those of you who know me are probably aware, I have never been a girly girl.

The clothes, the skills, even the vocabulary to discuss 'girliness' all passed me by during my formative years. I never learned how to put on makeup, throw together an outfit, or do my hair.

I can do a French braid, but I'm talking really do hair. Smooth and fluffy like all the other girls.

Recently, I've been making more of an effort. I am trying.

But I'm not there yet.

So, if I sometimes do the wrong thing... wear the wrong color... have frizzy hair... laugh too loud.

It's not that I don't care. It's just that I'm not there yet.
