Another WOW moment

I can't believe I forgot to post this. (at least I think I forgot, If it's a repeat then just chalk it up to disfunction of the brain because of six kids) Last week my dh was home sick. We both drove to pick up his check on Wednesday before meeting my support group for lunch. I don't usually go into his work with him (a bunch of truck drivers - ugh) but for some reason I did that day. I'm kind of shy so I was just standing there waiting for him (stop laughing Kathy, I really am shy). My dh introduced me to one of his coworkers who's eyes practically bugged out of his head at me. *Laurie takes a step closer to dh at this point* He says something stupid about there's no way I would be married to Steve. (what a jerk!) So the next day he was home (Friday) he says, "you wont believe the talk at work" Oh, great I think - now what, they're going to take away your benefits. He says, "It was YOU (me) they were talking about". I guess the two ladies in the office asked him why he brought his DAUGHTER to work!!! He laughed and told them that it was his wife!!! But then he ran into the jerk driver that I had met. This guy spent like 5 minutes telling my HUSBAND what a great piece I was and how much he likes skinny women and boy I just fit the bill, etc.... What a total a$$!!!!!!!! He's very fortunate that my dh knew he'd react somewhat this way and didn't let it bother him, other wise..... I'd hate to see what could've happened. But to think that they thought I was his DAUGHTER.... LMAO again just thinking about it. I didn't realize how much FUN I'd have after having wls - but this is just a blast!!!!! laurie

Laurie isnt it great?

Sometimes moments like these crack me up, sometimes they just irritate the crap outta ya... Here's one for you: A few weeks ago, Aaron and I went to lunch at a place we used to frequent quite a bit - know the owners. I'm sure I haven't been in there since before my WLS but prior that, a few years ago, we were in there nearly daily... So, we go in, sit down, and the owner was there and starts talking to Aaron: Where ya been? Haven't seen you forever! yada yada... Won't make eye contact with me... Walks away... I tell Aaron "Brent has no idea who I am..." little later, he comes back by and I say, "Brent, I can't believe you're not going to say Hi to me." and he said... "I'm sorry, do I know you?" kinda funny like... I laughed and said, "It's ME, BECKY!" and he kind of looked at me... said, "NAAHHH"... and I said, "Yes, yes it is, I swear!" He turned around and hollared "You guys aren't gonna believe this... It's Becky!" I had to actually get my drivers license out, pics of my kids, etc., to prove it to them... Too bad I didn't have my B/A pic with me... Apparently, after he talked to Aaron the first time, they all stood around in the back trying to decide if he had gotten a divorce or was just ballsy enough to bring his "side dish" into the place everyone knows him..

That is quite funny!!!! Now you're the talk of the place too!! Hey I say enjoy it while you can, pretty soon everyone will be so used to us, we won't get compliments anymore (even if they are kind of strange compliments) Laurie

Nothing like getting called a nice piece of arse to boost the self-esteem. But seriously, Laurie, it is very flattering to be called hubby's daughter, attractive, skinny and all that jazz. Heck, even the piece of arse is meant as a compliment. Glad you are having fun, as you should. We all should. Kathy

OH I'm enjoying every minute of it!!!! Laurie

This is a great WOW moment!

I do so LOVE those wow moments. Andrea
