People have been telling me for quite some time that I don't look pregnant from behind. In fact, in places like Wal-Mart and the mall I'm constantly catching people off guard when I turn around. They suddenly get very polite and accommodating as soon as the belly comes into view. For example, I was at an outdoor patio listening to a concert when the table behind me lit a cigarette. I got up to leave (which it was time for me to do regardless) and the guy who was smoking put out his cigarette and got very apologetic.
It's funny how people's treatment changes dramatically. And it obviously speaks to my deceiving appearance. But, it's not like I can get a good view of my own back so I didn't realize just how deceiving my appearance is. Until yesterday. One of my coworkers took a few photos of me before I leave (probably will end up on some bulletin board of people in the department, but whatever) and I actually got my first view of myself from behind. What do you think?
Then of course there's the "surprise" view when I turn around. Quite the difference, eh?
Anybody care to revise their birth date guesses based on the new belly photo?
i sincerely do not know what you are doing here. are you lost? were you
looking for your delicate calico cat, and did you follow her up two flights of stairs
to this room? she is not here. she was here, yes. we gave her a warm bowl of milk, we talked with her about campaign finance reform for a time, and then she bid us good day. i believe she was
going to the post office two blocks down, but i don't quite recall.
for surely you did
not find your way from prinsiana, the least traveled site on
the internet. if you did, though, perhaps you are looking for humor. perhaps you are looking for profundity. perhaps you are looking for answers.
i'm sorry, but you shall go naught-for-three.
