Confessions of a Tomboy

  1. I hate to paint my toenails. Really I do. It's uncomfortable, time-consuming, tedious work.
  2. I spit when I run. My mom once told me that I wouldn't appeal to the opposite sex if I spit while I played college softball. Hmmmm, as I recall, I had a few dates in college.
  3. I say the s*word that rhymes with spit while playing co-ed softball at the Christian Reformed Rec. Center. Usually quietly & just to myself when someone botches a play. I even yelled at my nephew when he cut off the ball when I was trying to throw someone out at 3rd base. Sorry Ross. Love ya - but get the rock out of the way.
  4. I love to mow the grass. My husband will often be cooking dinner inside while I'm out mowing. I still remember my neighbor telling me that when her boys saw me out mowing for the first time they shouted, "Look. There's a mom mowing the grass!"

Yeah, you ARE a tomboy. And thanks for that lovely picture in my mind of you spitting as you are running, YECH!

Just no crotch grabbing while out at the Rec. Center, okay?

I didn't think he was going to cut that ball either, that's why I started running to second! I think you probably would have got that guy out too.....
