I'm really not...

Pregnant, that is. It's funny. Ever since I got married last year I have to be so careful about what I wear! Anything that is baggy in that area, people start to ask.... it's fashion, y'all! Actually I think it's rather hilarious, especially since an unmarried friend of my exact shape and form could wear the same thing, and people wouldn't say boo. These days, shirts and dresses that are loose around the waist or have a high waist are in style. And if you have the least bit of a tummy, you look pregnant. Oy. Here are 2 perfect examples that make me laugh, even as I'm typing them:

1. At my company Christmas party last year I was standing in line at the bar, where everyone is allowed 1 "drink," which includes everything but water. I ordered a Diet Coke (my obsession) and a co-worker standing behind me exclaims, "Are you pregnant?" (this doesn't have to do with fashion, but it's still funny) I looked at her in disbelief, she was thinking that the only reason why I didn't order free alcohol was because I could be pregnant. Ha.

2. A few months ago in church I was wearing a blouse that I always loved, and it has a high waist, one of my favorites. As we were getting up to leave, a man pointed to me and asked Mike, "Is this your first?" Thankfully Mike is a smart person and quickly understood what the man meant and told him it was just a baggy blouse. Needless to say, that was the last time I wore that pretty blue top. Sad.

Come to think of it, I think I was wearing the pretty blue top at the company Christmas party. Hmm.

Trust me, even though I'm somewhat slow on this blog, all you readers can count on me that when there is news, I will most definitely post it! But don't hold your breath! :)

Mike and I are doing very well, enjoying our 2nd year of marriage! Can you believe it? We've been spending an unbelievable amount of time watching the Olympics, and I really don't like how it interferes with the work that I like to get done in the evenings. It's just so addicting and exciting! I know that once it's over I'll be getting so much more done! Mike is working tons of overtime and it's really exhausting for him, but it is also counting toward our house savings!

I am also enjoying my business with The Pampered Chef! Have I mentioned that on here before? Oh I am LOVING it!! In my first 30 days I met my 2 goals of holding 4 shows and having at least $1250 in sales. This company is so much fun and I'm learning more and more each day. At first I thought that I would only bring in a little money to help with house savings, but as I get into it a little more, it looks like I might make a substantial contribution!! Please anyone who reads this, let me know if you are interested in hosting a show or purchasing any of the products! They are SO fun! You can visit my website and have a look around: www.pamperedchef.biz/mrscouts.

Well let's see... there's not much else going on around here. I'm the only one here in my little shared office today b/c Bill and Ellen are both out of town and Kim is sick. It's actually quite nice to have "my own room" for a day.

In other blogging news, I have been cooking up a fiercely political post in my mind for a few days, and I'm not sure if it will ever come to fruition. I would like to keep my political opinions to myself because sometimes my method of delivery is not so tactful. :) So stay tuned. Maybe.

Have a great week everyone!
