Everything’s Gone Green

Well! Since we’re running around like mad this weekend, and I finally found the camera downloader thingy (totally its technical name!), this post will be brief, but informative! Yes!

First off, I am the size of a horse, or at least that’s what it feels like. I’m not even going to pretend to deny that it is in part because two people called me “huge” this week, and I have 13 weeks left and OH I AM TERRIFIED OF WHAT IS TO COME. You know how some people say that the only time in their life they didn’t have body issues was when they were pregnant? I AM THE OPPOSITE. I always sort of liked my body, but one of the things I liked most was that I could do things with it, like, say, move faster than a tortoise. And now I can’t even shave my legs without some serious effort that involves sitting in a bathtub. And my hair stands up goofily on end. And … man, this is not a glamorous gig, you know? For crying out loud, my EYES are getting SQUINCHY. Thank God I’m going to be rewarded with an awesomely smooshy little baby, because otherwise I’d be demanding my money back. You know, for the chins and all.

Bear in mind I have no patience for formatting, so sorry for the extra white wall of giantness and mini-me in the mirror.

Artfully resting with my hand on my hip so you can’t see the arm that looks like Popeye after he let himself go soft. BEEFY. SMOOSHY. OH MY GOD.

And finally, the hair. It’s still standing up, despite a full fifteen minutes of post-blowdry construction involving waxes and a variety of cosmetics.

Anyway! Now that we’ve discovered that I have turned into a emotionally petite little flower with an extra dose of irritating, let us go on to brighter things! Or, you know, BRIGHTER PLANETS. (Am subtle!) My husband’s company, Brighter Planet, started a new campaign and I’ve got some invites to hand out. Basically, the gist is this: Brighter Planet will offset a free day’s worth of carbon emissions in your name — all they ask is that you make an effort to conserve energy this holiday season. I actually think it’s pretty nifty, and if you’re interested, all you have to do is click here.

I hope you all have a delightful weekend! Have a happy Friday and beyond!
