Okay, So It’s Pink

If you are someone who knows me and you are reading this post right now, looking at my blog design for the month of February, you are probably cracking yourself up. To the rest of you — I am so not a pink sort of girl. I am the sort of girl who wears jeans and t-shirts, who gets dirty, who equates strength of body with strength of character. I can quote you lines from Transformers and Star Wars, change the oil in your car, and teach you how to build your own Window desktop PC. My nails don’t reach the end of my fingertips. I don’t own a blowdryer. I have not worn makeup in years … and even when I did, I was pretty bad at it.

But this is 2011, and I can be different.

I’m not saying that I’m going to start wearing pink, shopping in the same department as my tutu-wearing 5-year-old daughter, or something crazy like that. I’m just saying that if I want to be something different, if I want to be the person I want to be, I can do something outside my box. I can grow a little. I can stretch against my confines.

If dabbling in pink-themed design makes me see the world in a different way, changes my frame of mind, or helps spark a new idea in my head, then it will be MISSION ACCOMPLISHED. Until then, let’s bring on the month of love and enjoy it … and stop laughing at my pink site for a moment.
