i always have that same sneaking suspicion... i am addicted to what not to wear, but don't tell anybody... i am having a love affair with windmills, but don't tell anyone that, either...
midway through our canada vacation, we were on a beach that was all cobble rocks. i fondled them all, and brought about 20 egg sized ones home to be my office gifts - you know how you have to do that. i felt like a complete nut leaving them in mailboxes (with CANDY) but people seemed to love them. it pleases me enormously to see "my" rocks all over the office.
This girl loves that girls list... and I can relate to most all of it.

I like the list. I don't know if I could make one so clearly about myself. Maybe I'll give it a try next time I post to my blog.

thanks to some hints from bambi and her sister barb and their recent this girl posts and because i'm finally feeling like myself again, it seemed like it was time for an update of the this girl post (which, to give credit where credit is due, was started by the fabulous gillian ever so long ago).

~ goes to bed too late every single night.
~ loves her iPhone. and iMac. and iPad. and her nikon(s).

This is me. A mass of contradictions. And I do get what I want also. I need to update my "this girl" also :)

Lovely post, as well as the previous 'this girl' one. Has me wondering what I would write down about myself.

I adore this list! aren't we all a mass of contradictions?

Right. I wrote one at http://manystepssideways.blogspot.com/2010/09/this-girl.html
I'm not sure how it turned out. I may need more distance from it. But it was fun and oddly soothing to write.
Thanks for sharing this! :D

I went back and read your first "this girl" post before I read this one-- Fabulous all the way around.
And if you ever decide to have a garage sale so you can have "less stuff", PLEASE give me first dibs :-)
Cheers, jj

Well, This Girl loves That Girl's earrings. And thinks that That Girl looks absolutely lovely in that photography. Wind caressed and carefree :)
