Naturally Optimistic

Ugh, So I have these jeans that I'm wearing today for the first time since winter '07 - I gave up on them shortly before becoming pregnant because I didn't like how they looked, but since I have a hard time getting rid of things that are "maybes" I have kept them. I found them while unpacking and thought - hey! Different jeans, I'll give them a try. And now I remember the real reason why I hate them. Argh. After putting them on and thinking - hey! Not bad...they don't make me look SUPER fat and they are the right length. Why would I ever get rid of them. Because the g.d. zipper WILL NOT STAY UP. Argh. I have already let more cows out of the barn today than I have done in the whole previous year. So annoying.

I ordered this cape yesterday because 1) it was on sale and 2) I'm already cold and it's only October in Minnesota and 3) my winter jacket already doesn't really zip up. Hopefully this will keep me somewhat warm through the last trimester and hey - maybe I can wear it afterwards (at least for a while) too. I feel sort of dorky about getting a CAPE but I don't know. Maybe I'll be able to pull it off with the Chick Pea's help. We shall see.....
