i am the girl who

trips over the IDEA of a crack in the sidewalk

can snap her fingers more loudly than anyone you know

has five kinds of salt in her cupboard

talks more with her hands than with her face

can spin a good yarn, but can’t knit a stitch

likes her fish raw and her goose cooked

edits your work more quickly than her own

would like to see that in pink

is very wary of “reply all”

prizes each freckle

has special ringtones for everyone she loves… but never takes her phone off silent/vibrate

will beat your pants off at Trivial Pursuit… but let you beat her at Monopoly

never puts on a dress without doing a twirl

has both walked into, and hugged a tree this very week

loves Moleskines like moles love their skin

rescues snails from doom unless they’re cooked in butter

believes that six shots of espresso + up too late the night before + deadline + Microsoft Excel = the new PCP

laughs louder and longer than she ever cries

throws like, well… a girl. But punches like a guy

dances to the music in grocery stores

has her dad’s grouch and her mom’s Pollyanna

spends equal amounts of time on Sephora.com, WilliamsSonoma.com, and IllyUSA.com… and ignores JimmyChoo.com

will marry the man of her dreams soon enough… but never soon enough.
