If you want a happy ending, that depends, of course, on where you stop your story.

Stripped
This week's prompt for Digging Deeper has been "Stripped"...
There are lots of directions this could go, but don't get all excited about what I am going share here..
The clothes stay on, but the color is gone.
Keeping it simple, clean and full of high contrast.
The other way I played with the idea of the week was to start stripping away those negative things the mind tells me-
Putting on the positive affirmations and tossing those other thoughts to the side.
and that I AM enough.

more, more, more
14. I can hock a loogie further than my husband- this makes him either completely frustrated/grossed out or incredibly proud, I can never quite tell... maybe a strange mix of both?
15. I can pick things up with my toes.
16. I want chickens, but birds sort of freak me out.
17. In high school, I wound up with the nickname "Bueller" (as in Ferris). I think I only once skipped school one time, so I have no clue where the name came from, but it stuck.
18. I can drive a stick-shift
19. I love a good mosh-pit
20. I can make my tongue into a taco and flip it over, but only in one direction.

Liar, Liar....
Nine are true and one is a lie.... your guess.
1. I make the meanest chocolate chip cookie in town with one exception- Ani (Pancakemama) makes a fierce Triple C.
2. I have a serious love affair going with the Justins- as in Timberlake and Bieber. (guilty pleasure anyone?)
3. I could out rebound girls who were half a foot taller than me in high school basketball. I can't tell you how pissed off it makes a tall girl to get out jumped by a shortie.
4. I pushed for 5 hours (like push-pushed) when I gave birth to my son. holding him and his cone head was worth every drop of effort.
5. I am pigeon toed and knocked kneed.
6. As a kid, I helped my friend's family heard cattle from one ranch to another riding horse back and then helped with the branding.
7.Rocky Mountain Oysters are actually really good, especially roasted over the branding fire.
8. I had my tongue and nose pierced in my early 20s. I miss my nose ring and think I might re-pierce it for my 35th.
9. I can do 10 pull ups in a row.
10. My favorite yoga pose is Pincha Mayurasana (feathered peacock).

10 things, or maybe a baker's dozen...
Ten things about me, in no particular order.
1. I spent most of my childhood in a town with less than 600 people. There was an average of ten kids in my class- one was my step brother. The town sits on the edge of a desert/playa. Once a year, at the end of summer the desert holds more than 50,000 people on it's cracked surface (maybe you have heard of Burning Man?) When they all show up for the festival, the "City" of Burning Man is the 3rd most populated place in Nevada.
2. When I was three, I fractured my skull- my mom thought she killed me when the bike that we were riding went over. I still have the scar on my forehead and the memories of the day- which also means I made it out alive... (don't worry mom, I think I am pretty normal- considering)
3. I am my mom's only and my dad's 5th (the baby).
4. I am a gypsy at heart, but also need routine and rhythm to my day.
5. As a kid, I wanted to be an artist or a dolphin/whale trainer when I grew up. Ironically, I totally freak when I swim in the ocean. Put me in a lake and I am in my happy place.
6. My first car was a red Volvo. It was a TANK. I totaled it on the way to school, it was a sad, sad day. My step bro used to drive it around town in reverse while my girlfriend and I would stand up and out of the moon roof, just for giggles. (Don't worry mom, we all survived that one, too)
7. I never thought I would have a desk job or work/understand computers like I do now. Funny what life throws at you.
8. I spent a month in Spain when I was 22. I wish I would have studied the language a little more and drank a little less- but damn they have good wine there.
9. I am best friends with my bestie from childhood. She is my giggle twin. And our kids are the next generation of gigglers.
10. I wish I didn't have that furrow between my brow, it is more from me thinking all the time then frowning. But it makes me look angry- maybe I will get botox....(or not).

11. I believe in ghosts and ET
12. I went to "modeling school" in high school, but at 5'3" they said I needed to get leg extensions if I wanted to get serious about it. I think I was in it for the photography and the fashion more than the modeling- actually I know so.
13. as a result of #12, I am a sucker for Project Runway and America's Next Top Model... guilty, guilty pleasures.

I am fully loving Digging Deeper.
Last week's prompt, "All of you" and this week's prompt, "Your Soundtrack" collided today.

"A few times I've been around that track
So it's not just gonna happen like that
'Cause I ain't no hollaback girl
I ain't no hollaback girl"
Feeling it people,
