Last week two funny but not-so-funny things happened.
First: A student came by to ask me something & I was in the lunch room finishing up lunch. I was bending over, washing my hands & she said (in front of a VP, our Student Services Coordinator, & another counselor), "Miss, are you pregnant?" I was so flustered, all I could say was, "Why, do I look pregnant?" To which she replied, "Nah, no lie Miss, I can see your pudge right there" & she pokes me in my stomach. All I could do was laugh. I laughed all the way to my office while thinking, "holy crap, what do I look like?"

Second: As the cherry to my already eye-opening week to how I actually appear, I was watching my students' imovie projects. It just so happened that a couple groups used me to interview or as an actor. And what I feared the most, one group decided to use a clip of me talking & whoever was the camera person zoomed in so what it looked like was a huge 7 ft image of just my head. It was hideous. My face also looked somewhat lopsided. Something was wrong with my hair so it looked even bigger. No joke.

So I decided to post a picture of me (& Neil) that 1.) doesn't make my head look big 2.) You can't see my stomach, thus, can't tell if I'm "pregnant" or not.

Ironically, I went to a cousin's baby shower this afternoon & there was a total of 3 pregnant women there & one who just gave birth. I was in good company.
