body blogger calendar

naked time

ya’ll know there’s a group of bloggers who got next to naked for charity, right?

good! we’re excited too.

as you’re cyber-mondaying yourself today, please sneak a peek at the calendar over here and then proceed to the check out line, knowing that you’re supporting the National Eating Disorders Association with each purchase you make.

after that, go ahead and get naked.

be comfortable in your skin.

if you feel so inclined to share yourself, in your skin, please link up at the blogger body calendar’s flickr group. you don’t have to be one of the 12 crazies in the calendar to show and share your goodies.

many thanks and happy naked time… all the time.

a list of awesome and hot

i’m entirely behind on pretty much everything at this moment. we just got home from one wedding and we have 3 more to go in the next 7 weeks, which means that i am UP TO HERE with laundry and dry cleaning so that we can turn around and repack our hanging bag full of uncomfortable dress clothes and spanx.

for the record, spanx totally serve their purpose and i’m very grateful for the ones that have the pee hole in them because pulling those things down to pee and then back up is next to impossible, especially after consuming wine. so thank you for the pee hole, spanx.

(no, they did not pay me to say that. i’m just generous.)

where was i???

ah yes, i’m behind on everything…

1) groceries
2) photography projects
3) deadlines… self-imposed and non-self-imposed
4) web projects
5) finishing the book
6) blogging
7) washing my hair
8) figuring out why this stupid smiley icon with sunglasses is in place of #8 of my list
9) emailing artist about new tattoo concept
10) writing about new tattoo concept
11) responding to emails that have sat in my inbox for way too long
12) making fun of pitches i have received (stop calling me “Mrs. Bottle”)
13) reading up on YOUR blogs
14) bills ::headdesk::
15) keeping up with blogher@home
16) potty-training the magoo
17) promoting the calendar i got naked for
18) spraying myself with tan in a can b/c it’s too damn hot to go outside
19) researching preschools for the magoo
20) bathing
21) cleaning my kitchen that is fruit-fly-infested *gag*

in other news… my husband is hot and he watches out for paparazzi. due to his hotness, the above list has gone to shit.

in this skin

i am soft, callused and bruised. freckled, sun-kissed and with a scab on my knee. crows feet form at the corners of my eyes when i smile.

i am scarred from falls and spills… from shaving my legs. scarred from a c-section. scarred from ink-filled needles.

i am giggly and silly in this skin. serious when needed, but not often. round in places that were once flat. squishy in places that were once tight. stretched yet sexy. still fun in this skin of mine.

i am anxious in this skin. worried at times that it’s not what it “should” be or what it used to be. it’s not what it used to be. it never will be. and i’m learning that’s ok because in this skin, i’m still me.

i am curious in this skin of mine. wondering what visible changes take place next, what more this body can take on and overcome. who i am to become in this skin.

proud of my curves and rolls that my skin now has… and watching the skin on my fingers tremble just to type that out…

proud.

**********

in this skin, i am being photographed by my husband.

a moment of intimacy that will last a lifetime.

**********

in this skin, i will be participating in a project that i am truly honored to be a part of… because it celebrates all of our skin and what it forms… our bodies. us.

i encourage you to visit the blogger body calendar project and learn how to celebrate your skin, your body, yourself, while sending a positive and uplifting message to those we love and care about so much.

please visit the blogger body calendar project on twitter as well… following the messages of encouragement and empowerment as myself and 11 other amazing bloggers journey together.

lastly, check out the blogger body calendar project on facebook, and “like” the page, sharing it with others.

thanks. a lot.

love,
nic’s skin
