ive always been a tom boy. . .
would rather climb a tree than the
steps to the next level at Woodfield
Mall. a scary path into the woods
is much more interesting
to me than the latest issue of People Magazine.
and if i could live off the land
and never ever have to step foot
in a grocery store, id be so very happy.

i often think it was some sort of cosmic joke
that i was born and raised in the burbs and
not on the 1000 acre farm i always felt
was more me.

but luckily, i have always had the
opportunity to travel to my beloved places.
and luckily, i have always had men in my
life include me in their boy things ~ fishing,
using power tools, motorcycle riding, and
now ~ skeet shooting .

today i salute all my fellow cowgirl-tomboys,
and the boys who are secure enough to
share their guns with us.
