One day in a checkout line, a perfectly nice woman asked me when the new one was due. I smiled sweetly and said, "I'm not pregnant, I'm just really fat!" Her expression was priceless! She couldn't deny I was fat since she'd just commented on what was essentially how big I was. She just stood there and stuttered as I smiled. It was one of the highlights of my life, to be honest, and she totally didn't deserve it. Don't feel bad, this is one of those things any of us could have floundered into and besides, at least you were complimenting her!I am...https://www.blogger.com/profile/07123124543314092653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36095574.post-26480409827583768192008-04-01T21:18:00.000-05:002008-04-01T21:18:00.000-05:00Hi,I am new to your blog and loving it.

It was a really hot and humid summer night and we had really good seats, very close to the field. When we wanted a frozen yogurt - the long hike up the stairs had to be taken. Well, yours truly passed out at the top of the stairs and had to be taken to the first aid room on the back of a golf cart. As I entered and laid down on the bed, I notice a lady on the bed next to me - noticeably more pregnant than I. Of course I had to open my mouth and say, "Gosh, they can dress us pregnant ladies up, but can't take us anywhere, can they?" To which she very nastily replied: "I.am.NOT.pregnant!" and promptly turned her back to me. I nearly died of embarrassment!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36095574.post-7903926103437929662008-04-01T08:40:00.000-05:002008-04-01T08:40:00.000-05:00Kristie, Thats funny - thanks for the laugh this m...Kristie, <BR/><BR/>Thats funny - thanks for the laugh this morning!

Priceless!<BR/><BR/>A friend of mine reacts to these types of situations by reaching his hands out and grabs the air in front of him, then pulling the air back in towards him, hand over hand, while saying, 'Unsay, unsay, unsay!' I can visualize you doing that.<BR/><BR/>At least this woman got a good mix from her heritage. There are some freaky mixing of cultures in my family. One side is Irish and the other side is American Indian. (If you click on my blog and look at my hair, you can't deny there is some black/African American in there somewhere.) Anyway, I got really dark curly hair . . . .and red eye lashes and eye brows. What kind of freaky genetic makeup is that? All I can say is thank goodness for mascara!! (Oh, if you do click over to look at the picture, yes, I do color my hair, the almost black hair that I naturally have does not work with my fair skin.)<BR/><BR/>OH!! there is a story on abcnews.com about military wives and surrogacy.Mamasitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15733969272786039734noreply@blogger.com
