I know this post was about...Happy belated birthday! I know this post was about a month ago, but after I read it I had to comment. I, too, am outraged at the lack of memo people seem to have gotten recently regarding the rule to never so much as hint that a woman might be pregnant unless she's about 4 days from her due date and slim as a rail otherwise. I've had dozens (and I actually mean dozens--no hyperbole!) of folks asking me not if I'm pregnant, but rather "When is the baby due?" and "How's that baby coming?" One woman actually reached out a rubbed my belly! And then proceeded to argue with me about whether I was, in fact, pregnant. I may be a curvy Italian gal, but I'm still pretty slender. People are crazy, girl. cuh-ray-zee. So it's not just you. (And I, too, know how rough it can be to be asked that when you want to say yes.) But huge kudos to you for taking it in stride and with grace and charity. :) <br /><br />And happy belated birthday again!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8604080738678475033.post-59812340498559182302014-03-17T17:21:48.160-04:002014-03-17T17:21:48.160-04:00Happy birthday Mandi!!

I wonder what that says about me...<br /><br />And way to go Lucia for being such a big girl and wearing panties!<br /><br />Enjoy your year of respite. :)Jenniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14527973802393864654noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8604080738678475033.post-83403242854145964192014-03-16T20:16:18.272-04:002014-03-16T20:16:18.272-04:00Happy birthday!
You absolutely do NOT look pregna...Happy birthday!<br /><br />You absolutely do NOT look pregnant (and really, ANYONE could look pregnant if they're sitting in those awkward massage chairs, so why would she ask that question??? SO awkward.). And I'm really glad you didn't let that ruin your spa day :)<br /><br />Also, Lucia is an awesome pop of color for your outfit!<br /><br />And MB tests... I'm different every time, even if I take a test! I'm really like, 50/50 on each aspect and there just needs to be some sort of designation for that! I think temperaments make more sense than personality types - have you read up on those much?<br /><br />And yeah, I still get carded even if I have all 4 kids with me. My middle school students were convinced that I'm 20. Yeah, my 10-year high school reunion is this year... And I've gotten stopped in the hall in the secondary school where I teach and asked why I'm not in class. Sigh. I'm guessing not getting carded for YOU is a combination of looking at least 25/26 and being confident enough that they know you're not underage and excited about not getting caught!Rosiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12888635342531960478noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8604080738678475033.post-45698365031305572142014-03-16T17:19:07.288-04:002014-03-16T17:19:07.288-04:00Happy birthday, Mandi!

Something about 27 made me also feel a little more officially adult--I think because it put my solidly in the "late 20s" category. Incidentally, I also cannot remember the last time I was carded.<br /><br />On you MB, I would recommend actually doing a quiz, even a mini one. Because I have personally found that trying to choose each letter individually for me is not always right, but the description of an ENFJ altogether IS. But I can never pick I or E or P or J independently--they just don't seem right.<br /><br />You seem really good--I'm glad :-)KelleyAnnie @ Over the Thresholdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11376529562902628318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8604080738678475033.post-7424672712884758962014-03-16T15:31:37.693-04:002014-03-16T15:31:37.693-04:00Happy Birthday!Happy Birthday!Amelia Bentruphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04289052534608175705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8604080738678475033.post-1722154580728336162014-03-16T14:58:21.918-04:002014-03-16T14:58:21.918-04:00Happy 27th!

We're getting close over here, but she won't tell us when she has to go. And she won't sit on a public toilet to save her life.<br /><br />As for the carding, I noticed the older Cora gets if she's with us, the less I get carded at restaurants. I always get carded when buying wine at the grocery store, though.<br /><br />Enjoy your year of respite! I'm glad you have claimed this perspective for the year.Cathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11753603934212387119noreply@blogger.com
