I am NOT....

Your typical female (or so I'm told). If you didn't know that, well then I guess your going to learn more about me in this post. :D If you already knew that, well then congratulations you know me as well as some of my 'real life' friends know me.

How am I different? Well....I hate shoes, I hate shopping, and I don't wear makeup. :D

I firmly believe that shoes are part of the fall. I am sure that Adam and Eve did not have to deal with these troublesome things called shoes that are supposed to protect our feet and that from what I've heard most females love to have many pairs of. Me? I own my two pairs of crocs, one for the farm & one for church & two pairs of cowboy boots, both for off the farm (and both of which are sitting in my closet waiting to be resoled yet again.)

I think one reason I don't like shoes is that I have the worst time finding shoes that fit well, having long narrow feet is a curse. Tennis shoes don't last me four months (and haven't for the past decade), cowboy boots need to be resoled every 12-14 months, and church shoes? Well, they have the life span of a pair of clothes on Judah at the farm.

Shopping, I don't enjoy it to much unless I have oodles of money (which doesn't happen all that often...As in never!) or if I am shopping for gifts. If I have a list, I don't mind it to much, get in, buy needed supplies, and get out. Now gifts are a totally different matter, I can spend HOURS trying to find the right gifts, because what's in my mind doesn't match up with what I am finding in the stores or online. And if I had oodles of money? Well, I wouldn't mind shopping in the least, but I sure wouldn't be doing it everyday of my life!

Makeup? Yes, I buy makeup. No, I do not wear it. When would I have the time to put it on? While I'm helping with farm life, family life, or business life? Oh, wait I could do it early in the morning, but then that might cut into my reading and coffee time. Ummm...I'm not going there! lol

So, if I don't wear it, why do I buy it? For the simple reason to torment my siblings. When they are peaceful sleeping with "visions of sugar-plums danced in their heads". I sneak into their room and put the makeup on them just to see how they and the family react in the morning. I've had a sister (who shall go nameless) go half the morning without knowing that lipstick was smeared all over her face and trying to figure out why none of us could keep a straight face or have a decent conversation with her in that time frame. It was WAY to funny!! lol

Oh yeah other ways I'm not 'normal'...I still live with my family, I don't go to movies, I am not dating, and I'm loving every minute of it!

Yes, I am mean. No I am not your typical female. But that's who I am and my family lives with me. Even though there are days when I know they would just love to send me packing with my tricks and book reading ways.
