Welcome to Not Me! Monday! This blog carnival was created by MckMama. You can head over to her blog to read what she and everyone else have not been doing this week.
As you all know, I'm searching for the perfect dress to wear when I attend Jason's OCS ball. I've been googling and browsing online. I definitely did not give up all hope of squeezing into the only ball gown that I own. Because there could still be a chance that I'll lose 25 lbs in the next 6 weeks, right?
I can tell you that when I came across this picture on this blog I did not choke on my chips and salsa. Not me. Because for one thing, I wouldn't be eating chips and salsa when I need to lose 25 lbs. And for another thing, this picture is just not funny. Not at all. And for the record, if you follow the link to that blog there are not even more completely distasteful photos. Just warning you.
I guess I'm going to be cruising the clearance racks and hitting up Goodwill. Or perhaps I'll be vigorously exercising until I can fit into this dress again.
Ok, maybe not on the exercising part.
And no, I would not ever wear shows that didn't match my gown. Definitely not.
While I was having some work done on our van today, the kids and I headed next door to the furniture store. And while we were there killing time I did not plop down on a nice, red chair and nurse both babies as a little old lady tried to shop around me and a poor salesman was blushing. I would never haul "The Beast" into a store and wander around before herding my crew into a corner (in the front of the store, by a window!) and breastfeed my babies while customers shop inches away and stare. Not me!
I should also add that Leila had to go potty while were in said furniture store. And I was without my trusty arsenal of potties. I certainly did not hold my little girl 6 inches above the seat so she wouldn't touch anything. I'm not that paranoid. And I'm definitely not a germaphobe.
And the reason I had take the van to shop? It was not because I had to have a towing hitch installed so that I could either tow "The Beast" or tow a trailer for our trip. Because I do not have so many children that we can't fit into a 12-passenger van for a little family vacation. Nope, not me!
