mink.

Often I try to give myself little pep talks.  I want to be real about what pregnancy is like.  Most of the time I don't want to keep it real about what pregnancy looks like, and more importantly, what I look like pregnant.  Editing and witchcraft often accompany any photo I take of myself.

When Nick and I were antique shopping for a dresser I found a treasure.  That treasure was a mink stole.  "What's more ridiculous than a pregnant woman in a mink stole?" I told myself.  Nick was forced to take a picture.  I was right.  There is nothing more ridiculous than me.  Me and a shoulder carpet of dead mink.
