That Girl
3.) Write a poem describing who you are and/or who you are not. (note: Not very poetic, but consistent)
I am the girl who never liked New Kids on the Block.
I am the girl who played the clarinet in marching band.
I am the girl who listened to Mozart on her drive to high school.
I am the girl who couldn’t finish a mile in under 11 minutes.
I am the girl on the swim team who rocked at the back stroke.
I am the girl who wore ribbons in her hair even when her German teacher made fun of her.
I am the girl who slipped in her new penny loafers and fell on her face, cracking her new 8 year old front tooth.
I am the girl who still cannot text message to save her life.
I am the girl who loves her husband Chris and her 3 beautiful sons.
I am the girl whose favorite color is plaid (yes, it’s a color).
I am the girl who will lovingly (sometimes patiently) watch Star Trek/Star Gate/ and Battlestar Gallactica with her husband.
I am the girl who will never skydive unless the plane is about to explode.
I am the girl who can pick up dryer sheets with her heals.
I am the girl who will take a hot bubble bath over a bar of chocolate, unless we’re talking Swiss.
I am the girl who needs to get off of the computer and start making a Jedi cloak for her son’s Halloween costume.
Yes, I am that girl.

Plaid can be a color! Good luck on the costume!
I never liked the New Kids, either. Bleh. I really liked your poem, great post.
I was the girl who laughed at the joke the teacher made about your ribbons in your hair and I am SO sorry!!
