8/2: Some things get thrown out the window as you get older. Being ladylike all the time is one of them.
The air is unusually thick with moisture and I feel like I’ve stepped out of the shower when all I’ve done is chores. The air conditioner just went on and the floor vents are calling me; they’re my relief in times like this and what I’m most grateful for today. I confess I stand over them often in the summer. I used to pretend I was Marilyn Monroe, beautiful skirt floating up around her on the breeze from the grate (in this case a vent), but let’s face it, it’s not sexy or flirty to have sweat dripping down your legs.
I really dislike the phrase horses sweat, men perspire, and ladies glow. By this definition I’m a horse. What a way to give a girl a complex. But you know, I’m over it. This is just the way I am. And I guess honestly, I’m grateful for that as well.
