Do you know me now?

Over the 4th of July weekend, I went back to a small town where I lived and taught for eight years.  I have a lot of old friends there that I haven't seen in a long time.  I was so shocked.  I guess I have no idea how much my appearance has changed.  NOT ONE PERSON KNEW ME until I introduced myself.  NOT ONE PERSON!!!  I was shocked.

The funny thing was that one guy hit on me.  A guy I sorta knew, but only peripherally.  I was never in a social or work setting with him.  I just knew who he was.  He spotted me (I saw him looking at me), then he made a beeline for me and wanted to shake my hand and chat me up.  I introduced myself and told him that I used to teach there.  He said, "Yeah, I thought you looked familiar."  Yeah, right!  My dear and close old friends didn't have a clue who I was, but this guy thought I looked familiar.  HA!  I actually had to go there for work, so I was dressed up.  Attracted attention, I guess. 

oh Kathy THAT is sooooo FUNNY...
yeah he knew you looked familiar...

What fun for you! 

I used that to my advantage one time.  I had worked with a guy that was pretty much a jerk to me because of my size.  Years later my husband and I were visiting his boss and this former co-employee was sort of hitting on me too.  He ha NO idea who I was.  He was such a shallow person that I didn't even tell him and was glad I didn't have to explain.  I'm sure he was thinking there was something familiar but he had no idea and that was cool with me.
hugs, Y

What a wonderful feeling this must have been for you!!!  A true WOW moment!!!  Keep up the good work!!

That is the best!!
