I like being a girl.
For a lot of my life I’ve struggled with figuring out who I really am. Feminist? Froo froo girl? Super mom? Career chick? My addictions, treatment and months of counseling are finally bringing me to the conclusion that whatever labels I feel the need to impose upon myself are irrelavent. I am who I choose to be. Today, I choose to relish my girlness.
That being said, I would like to share with you the nasty, materialistic side of me that I’ve toned down considerably, but not erradicated from the core me. I just received a gift from my mother that has thrown me into full on girlie girlie mode. She bought it in Las Vegas and resolved to save it for my birthday in May. Her resolve melted immediately and she decided to give it to me for my 10 month sobriety bday (I love you, Mom!).
I know I’m shallow, but I’m in love with my new Tarina Tarantino necklace…probably more so than my damn Lovcat Paris purse and wallet. There is something wonderfully cool and playful and nostalgic about Hello Kitty. I remember being 8 or so and saving every penny I could to buy Hello Kitty and friends goodies from the mall in our area. I even named my little peach-faced lovebird My Melody after the Sanrio character.
Ok, enough with all this silliness. I should say that today is my darling husband’s birthday. Amazing how love can grow after so long and so much heartache. I love you, Jeffrey, so much more than you ever know.
