Sexy Siren- Yeah Right!
Growing up in a very religious Mormon household means having modesty pounded into your head. My bathing suits had to cover my midriff. "Mini"-skirts had to touch my knee. Tank tops were off limits. Of course, nothing could be tight, but I never had a problem with that. My dad hated every time I tried to get a tan in the privacy of our back yard on a Sunday afternoon. So, in addition to being a fairly self-conscious teenager, I had lots of rules to shape my ideas of what is acceptable. As an adult in South Florida, I can say that I haven't really worried about their rules. I dress for the weather and to flatter my pear-shaped body type.
However, I am pretty sure this adds to the reason that I am just not comfortable thinking that I am in any way sexy. In fact, the times I have put on sexy nighties I just laughed. My poor husband! I could never be a seductress. The idea is so goofy to me. I have noticed that having a baby has made me even worse. My body is far from tempting. In fact, I am reverting back to the rules my parents set. I don't wear bikinis because my belly feels flabby. I am even wearing capris rather than shorts because I have a small spider vein on my thigh. That is also the reason I packed up my shorter mini-skirts to give to my sister. I guess it is a good thing that I am not trying to dress too sexy with this body. Maybe I could thank my parents for that. Should I mention that I my shoulders are often exposed? Oh the horror! I have to be rebellious in some way, right?

This blog is like a journal for me. It is also a way for my friends to keep tabs on me.
For people who don't know me, I come from a big family (3 brothers & 1 sister). We moved around a LOT, so I am not really from one particular place. I like to call Katy, Texas my home though.
Recent news, my Dad & Mother-in-Law were diagnosed with Terminal Cancer in April/May of 2005. My dad passed away 5-Dec-05 .
