So, over the weekend my husband and I went out of town.. it was no happy occasion- we had to go to his grandfather's funeral. At the wake there were many family pictures of his grandfather going all the way back to the 1930's until just a few months ago.. The only picture in which I was included happened to be my wedding photo with my husband's whole family. When we married I was obviously much heavier... and I joked with him that people would think he had a second wife now...

Well, at the reception lunch after the funeral my husband's cousin came up to us and asked my husband if I was his new girlfriend... I was floored.. I laughed and had to just walk away... why was I quite to thrown by something that was almost expected? Because his cousin is the reverend who married us!!!!! Ha ha ha.. my hubby and I were still laughing about that yesterday. A little levity on a sad day is never a bad thing...

Also, while we were in town we met up with a few of my childhood friends that I had not seen since we were about 13. We walked into the bar and they immediately recongnized me and said that I hadn't changed a bit since I was little.. and one went on to comment that he hadn't realized I was so much younger than they were.. ha ha ha- I am not- I am actually about 2 years older than them!

All in all an interesting weekend...

I am still loving life with my sleeve! Been maintaining at or below goal for over 4 years!

Gotta admit this is pretty funny and glad it lightened the sad occasion. Hope your husband set the guy straight. maybe he just has poor eyesight and a worse memory.

Nice complements from the childhood friends. Always so fun to get a blast from the past. Indeed an interesting weeking. My sympathies on the loss of hubby's grandpa. Diane

Oh I was the comedic break for sure- another woman in my hubby's family walked right up to me at the wake and said- someone told me you are Fawn.. you lost too much weight, you are a shadow of your former self.. Oh man.. my hubby was pissed, but I just chuckled.. she must have been 85 years old.. and imo, you live that long and you can say whatever you want! LOL

Thats a great NSV! I had a customer come into my office yesterday and she said.. "oh I didnt recognize you...what is different?" I always hesitate to say "oh I lost 80ish pounds" so I just changed the subject....then a few minutes later she said... "oh its because you didnt do your hair or makeup...thats why I didnt recognize you!" I was like WTF? I did my hair and make up...its just not quite as crazy as it was when I was heavier...I dont feel the need to hide behind it...CRAZY LADY!

People just crack me up!
