I'm A Princess!

Yesterday, I got to the gym for some cardio while my husband lifted with the trainer.  I wrapped up at the same time they were ending, so we could leave the gym together.  (Closing down the place!  Yeah, Baby!)  As we were leaving, my trainer commented on how I was sweaty and it must have been a good cardio session.  I SWEAR he didn't read my post from Tuesday about how I sweat like a pig.  

After commenting on my excellent glistening, he noticed my t-shirt and asked what it meant:

What's a self-rescuing princess?  Think about the video games where the whole premise is to rescue the princess (Princess Peach in Mario Brothers is the most obvious).  Well I'm not waiting around for some plumber to rescue me!  I take care of business myself!  I'm a fairly strong and independent person and I think this is conveyed through my workout mentality.  I do things for myself.  I do the full set.  I push that little bit further.

I am SO not a girly-girl.  I refused to wear skirts until I was in high school, which made for a painful 3-5 grade where I had to wear a skirt for my school uniform.  Thankfully I could wear my gym shorts under the skirt and was allowed to hang my skirt on the chain-link fence during recess.  Nowadays, I'm a bit more feminine but I'm still not fussy.  I wear dresses and skirts - gotta flaunt those legs!  I wear makeup and (mostly) do my hair.  I splurge on pedicures and try to keep up with my manicures at home.  Basically, I try to take care of myself and do things that help me to feel good about myself.  Princess?  Maybe.  Spoiled?  Nah.  Bad Ass?  Only in pretend, though I do love the cap-sleeves on this princess t-shirt as they make my shoulders and biceps look diesel! 

My favorite workout shirt (that has gone to that great closet in the sky) was one from my parents that said "Whoever said the last man standing wins didn't ask a girl to play!"  Now, where's my tiara?
