I consider myself a girly girl. I love clothes, jewelry, sipping wine, shopping, Real Housewives, and sipping wine. I do not play sports. I don't even like watching most sporting events on TV. (I watch the Super Bowl strictly for the half-time show, then promptly go to bed.) But, I will tell you one thing about this girly girl: I am not afraid to get down and dirty with a home project.
