Golly. Wish I’d known about this before these bracelets were so passe

(found here )

Wow.  Apparently, I need to get out more. 

I didn’t know about these, either, and they’re pretty cool!
 
They’re also $35, so I will probably never own one  They feature, semi-unfortunately, one of those “awareness ribbons” which, being anti-trendy, I have never owned, and previously, had never hoped to own. 

I also didn’t know that someone christened green as the “official” color of celiac awareness.  Geez.  Lots going on in the celiac world that I knew nothing about.

The bracelet, in adults’ and kids’ sizes (”just” $20) are available here, along with key chains, necklaces, etc.

I like the keychain, too.  I was just telling my 7yo yesterday that I need a new keychain.  It’s $14.99 when the ribbon is engraved “celiac.”

I guess if one is going to have celiac jewelry, it might as well be attractive.  I just wish I had $50 to throw at ‘em.

P.S.  This is *NOT* a gift-suggesting hint for anyone who knows me IRL.

Gosh, are they passe already? I’m so out of it. I saw one in the store a few weeks ago and was wondering if they had some for each of our conditions. I realized I could actually get people to ask me about each one (does anyone actually do that?) simply ‘cuz I’d be wearing so many. roflol.

Well, now I feel badly, Sara, for saying they’re passe. I should say, instead, that from my perspective, they’re passe here in the Phx area. I liked the initial idea of these bracelets, but then they just became a fashion statement. When you can order them by the dozens from Oriental Trading Co for no particular reason: http://www.orientaltrading.com/application?namespace=search&origin=searchMain.jsp&event=button.search&Ntt=rubber+bracelets&Ntk=all&Ntx=mode%2Bmatchallpartial&N=0&x=28&y=13 they kind of lose their impact. KWIM?

Inspired by you, I’ve decided to keep better track of what my kids say. Wes’ current funny is: “Sting like a beaver!” I thought it was from Ali, but it was from Cars: “Float like a Cadillac, sting like a Beamer.” So, “sting like a beaver” is still funny. :P

well I am a celiac and I suppose a dork too because I liked these celiac bands so much I got over 100 of them to sell on ebay to make them more widely available to the general public. It is a little nerdy but, if you are wearing one for a reason, its not as bad. If you dont mind being a dork like me..haha you can get them at my website and or ebay store. http://www.glutenfree33.com
oh also, I have a celiac group on myspace http://www.myspace.com/glutenfreeforme

have a great day!
