To set the stage, I feel it is imperitive to share a little bit more about me:
Brunette, 5'4.5" (and yes, the extra half matters a lot), size 16, hourglass. I love peep-toe shoes, shopping for the latest fashions (right now I am loving the long button ups with the cuffable sleeves and wide belts), and have just begun a love affair with designer handbags- be still my wallet!
I am a 26 year old professional with a master's degree and a passion for public service. I spend my days working in the nonprofit sector at a community development corporation (CDC) as an organizer. In my spare time I teach at a local college. I constantly question whether I am in the right place professionally and wonder where my education and experience will take me. I present a very egotistical front to hide the fact that beneath the confidence, I am freaked out about muddling through my jobs with no idea as to what I am doing. Hey, fake it till you believe it, right?
Some call me a prima donna, others a princess, but either way, I was blessed to grow up self-sufficient and yet spoiled all at the same time. I will try anything once, blurt out any and everything that comes to mind, and am loyal to the core. And I have a bucket list that is constantly growing and very important to me. I live by lists, rules, and order.
I have been screwed over more than my fair share of times by the men in my life but then again, who hasn't? We're all kissing frogs till we get to our princes. The thing is, everyone said that this was going to be my prime. This was the time to meet a man. Go to college, move away from home, you'll meet someone- nada. Get a job, network, you'll find the one- nope. Like I said, I'm still waiting. Oh, and like many women my age, my daddy has ruined me. Yup, blaming it all on him (well and my mom for staying with him through all the crap).
That's me and my life. Enjoy!
