A lady waiting at Carino’s with me tonight had on pointy knee-high boots.
I had on Converse All-Stars.
This got me thinking…
I am pull-over fleece and silly socks. I am blue jeans and flip flops. I am sunglasses and sterling silver, Mentadent toothpaste and calorie-free flavored water. I am drives with the sunroof open and sings loud to the radio. I am “Shh, please be quiet” and “Ten at five?” I am spelled out numbers and peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. I am opens the windows on Sundays and turns the volume down on the tv.
I am a thousand silly, seemingly pointless yet character-defining things. The question is – who are you?

I am your sis.
I am too tired to come up with something witty or meaningful, perhaps in the morning?
After all, I am a morning person.

I am dark roast black coffee, or grande non-fat peppermint mocha. I am fountain pens or ballpoint pens or mechanical pencils and spiral notebooks. I am many of the things you are - with the windows and the sunroof and the singing. I am jazz and I am James Taylor. I am also Imogen Heap, old Metallica and Rascal Flatts. I am plenty of ice in my drink. I am, "RIGHT?", "I guess!" and "I KNOW!" with lots of laughter. I am long full-body hugs. I am a happy and grateful sister, aunt, girlfriend. I am words and words and words - silent, on paper, on the phone. I am eye contact. I am time alone. I am at home in a crowd. I am a friend. I am unconcerned if you don't like me. I am joy and anger (and anger trying to get back to joy as I scream at the traffic). I am tears for any occasion. I am a cheerleader to those I love and believe in. I am a shoulder and an ear. I am bitchy with an apology...if it's warranted. I am too hot when you are just right and just right when you are cold. I am younger than my age. I am knitting and hiking. I am photography and books. I am sensual and I am silly. And maybe, just maybe, I am done. :)

I? I like to think I'm beyond description like that. I wear suits and hoodies (not together). I own expensive Italian shoes and Chucks. I'm 35 but feel 12.

I am totally stealing ideas from your post to leave this comment.
I am jeans and sneakers...sometimes ballet flats. I am flip flops, but only in the summer. I am sunscreen and no sunglasses. I am just a wedding ring. I am leave off the radio and sing songs with my daughter. I am tap water, plain bran cereal, and cinnamon raisin bagels. I am fresh fruit and whichever toothpaste is on sale. I am Mitchum deodorant and Cashmere Mist perfume. I am Lost and The Office. I am family, family, family.

* I am simply complicated.
* I'm sandals and Italian Leather shoes.
* I'm baggy cargo shorts and hand-made button down shirts.
* I'm a quick drive to the country for a bonfire, and a 16 hour flight to Bordeaux France.
* I'm a protein drink before the workout and a Turkish coffee before bed.
* I'm Crystal Method for lullabyes and the Piano Man to wake up.
* I sit behind a desk all day and rush into fires at night.
* I'm polar opposites of myself.
