green is my new favorite color

i found these one stars today for only $20! twenty bucks! i love converse. i wear my black low top chucks all the time, and while they had the one stars on sale in black too, i thought it was time to branch out. i have a lot of black shoes, not so many grey ones. especially grey with a cute green star. i seem to be wearing a lot of green lately. that is, when i'm not wearing my work shirt (which is black, to match my pants and shoes and the dark cloud of despair that follows me around as well). a few years ago my sister talked about how i needed a "fashion color" and she decided it should be green. she gets sick of me wearing only red and black. i'm sure she'd pick another color for me now, but as usual i am late in picking up on the trends and have just now picked up on the fact that green is indeed good on me.

i have nothing exciting to tell you. maggie gained a whole pound and is now up to eight pounds. she's huge and beautiful. i finally saw some photos of my sister at the end of her pregnancy, and i'm wondering how she walked upright those last few weeks. we got snow for a few days, then it went away and now new york is getting it all. i am knitting a scarf with a hood on it, so that i can keep my ears warm without a hat. hats smoosh my bangs, and i look ridiculous with flat bangs. i found out i'm older than almost everyone at my job by about two years and for some reason this bums me out. being a lot older than some kids is one thing, but barely older than the others is another. why that bothers me more is beyond me, but i think it has something to do with being insane. i'm going to watch veronica mars now and try to reign in the neurosis. send over a pizza if you don't hear from me for a few days, okay?
