Crazy Shorts Girl

So, when I first moved to the DC metropolitan area I didn't wear pants. Not like that you perv!

I don't think I even owned a pair of jeans. If I did it is only because my dad made me buy them because I would "need" them.

Generally, I wore a uniform of a race t-shirt (preferably the starting line-up of the Brickyard 400 or Indy 500)and some shorts, most likely khaki. It wasn't pretty, but it is what I wore.

This what I wore year round, even in winter here, I would just add a pair of tights under the shorts (I know, I was HAWT, beating the college boys off with a stick I tell you, just like now) and a jacket. When it got really cold, I might wear the one pair of jeans, and I did have a winter coat, but that only came out around exams. Once, when I was still in high school, there was a blizzard and temperatures, with wind chill, were in the -20 to -30 range and still I went outside in shorts...sure I had on tights and long-johns underneath and I only stayed out for a couple minutes (Rascal had to be walked), but I did it.

Today, when temperatures were in the 40s, almost 50, I had to wear a winter coat! Me, a winter coat, already.

I think I have lived out here too long. I am officially a pansy like the rest of you.
