Re:

ps1: oh, don't get me wrong, i'm still writing 10 minutes before bedtime, too! LOL!!

ps2: i will strongly consider this. i'm not kidding.

ps3: iCal says 352 days in the year? forget about my shoes on the other 12 days, i want to know what happened to days 353-365?! but to answer your question: uggs when i'm cold; heels for a wedding recently; tennis shoes for running (but only for running—flip flops back on immediately thereafter); and either the casual brown shoes or casual shoes usually fit the rest of the days. =)

and now i think we see why i chose the name "whollyjeanne". wearing too many different bios is downright exhausting.

ps1:i see one of us is sticking to the plan about writing regularly and writing more than 10 minutes before bedtime - yay, you - the one and only you.

ps2: personally, i think this makes a mighty fine bio:
"I haven’t worn a dress since one of my best friends got married a few years back and “made” me a sandwich wear that two-tone pink bridesmaid dress on a hot NY day in the middle of July. I’m more of a jeans & t-shirt kind of girl. I like cargo shorts because I don’t carry a purse. I wear flip-flops 340 days of the year. I wear a silver HRC ring when I go out of the house if I remember to wear a ring at all. I have a puka shell necklace that only comes off for massages or softball games. I like baseball more than most women (and probably more than a lot of men). I read the New Yorker once a month even though it comes on a weekly basis. I like to cook, and I wash dishes as I go. I take my dog for a run 2-3 times a week, although I believe he deserves it every day."

ps3 then i'm gone: okay. so you wear flip-flops 340 days a year. i checked, and iCal says there are 352 days a year, so this inquiring mind can't help but wonder: what kind of shoes do you wear the other 12 days?

Dian I love this post. There is only one you and she is beautiful, authentic, and honest. I agree with the girls that you can feel you shining through in this post. All sparkly and rocking those cargo shorts and flip flops! I absolutely adore you, and look forward to getting to know you better. p.s. I love that your Grandma said that in her day she may have tried it. I got a good giggle out of that. My Grandma was pretty spunky and it made me think of her.

I love this. As Julie said, I can feel you shining through in all the spaces between the words. You are a you who is worth knowing in all of your wholeness and I am honored and excited to be someone who gets to, at least a little bit, know you. Crazy sentence. Seriously – I'm singing inside from this.

Dian,
I don't know where to start other than to say, I'll never tire of you, and thank God there is one beautiful one of you. This is so you. I can feel you shining through in all the spaces between the words. What a wonderful introduction to Dian, in all her beauty. A – fricking – men (as Karen so aptly wrote).
I so love that I know you, even if it's just virtual knowing…at least until we meet at a Giants/Dodgers game.
