pink on green
Here is a pretty picture of my pink hair against green:

I have been feeling super super crafty this week. I have two new bracelets and a few other new things to add to the site tonight. So, check back tomorrow if you are looking for something fun and springy to buy. I am actually working on some new bait necklaces that are very summer-y, pastels and very tiny beads with not at all heavy lures. Not sure why I am making more lure necklaces, since I rarely sell them, but these are really great! I have one that I have been wearing everyday, and I have to say it is very... um... understated, considering I am wearing a fishing lure.
I have said this before, but I am trying trying trying to not worry about things that I can't control. I have been worrying too much about what will happen after the babies get here, how we will cope, etc. I have also been worrying about whether or not the girls are growing at the correct rate. All I can do for this is eat all my food and hope for the best. So funny that this time last year, I was trying NOT to eat and now I am trying TO eat. This time last year, I felt guilty about adding a fruit smoothie to my lunch for fear of drinking calories. Today, the smoothie is just the very beginning of the food that I have to eat at lunch.
Lisa at work asked me today if people are giving up their seats on the bus for me yet. I said no because I don't look pregnant, I just look fat. She thought this was very funny and said i would make a shirt that said "I'm not fat. I'm pregnant. Give me your seat." But the shirt should say, "I'm fat AND pregnant." I wonder how many overweight women have this problem when they are pregnant? I find that gaining the weight from being pregnant is actually reminding me of what it used to be like to be super fat. People aren't as nice to you when you are super fat. This is obvious, but hard to deal with. I know if I saw myself, I would think, why is that fat girl having a hard time walking up the hill? She should lose weight. My brain still haven't caught up to my scale. I am a 260 pound girl who thinks she is still that 220 pounds girl who lost 70 pounds. I am not sad about that, I actually think it is pretty interesting. Being a social scientist makes life easier.
