Compliment.....

I got a compliment from one of my guy friends today… and I think he meant it… It was so simple and sounded so honest. And for some reason it stayed with me. We were chatting on IM and …

He said: Hey
I said: Yeah
He said: Bikinis do you well ( I had just sent him a link to my blog)
I said: Really? (I’m obviously all shocked)
He said: Uh… yes
So guess what I did, I sent him all the pictures of me in Miami…. I guess fishing for more compliments… I’m such a girl.

I guess people don’t see that side of me, for the most part they see the Edyth at work , the Edyth at home in jeans (which is my normal everyday look) and every once in a while, the Edyth playing some kind of sport look. The only people that have seen me in a bikini are the ones who have either gone to the beach with me which is like once in two years thing because Dallas doesn’t really have a beach, or the people who have gone swimming with me again since I've been at work, its hard to get away during the summer. I guess I typically wouldn’t have taken pictures or I won’t have shared them if I did. I don’t know. It was my first bikini compliment that didn’t come from my girlfriends "who liked the color". I have to admit, I feel pretty cool with myself right now. So I’m encouraged to take more pictures and share them with the world. I guess this little thing just made me realize that I must subconsciously be holding back part of me without realizing it and the funny thing is that I dont know why. Anyway, I realized... I am such a girl and I love it
