(Belly) laugh of the day

24 Jul

My boss of the past three years is retiring this week; he’s been a really great boss and I’m sad to see him go, as are many others in our organization.  Today, a number of us went for lunch at the Klondike Rib & Salmon for a send-off lunch. 

I ate the food I ordered, plus stole fries off of other people’s plates (because I was well-behaved and ordered salad as my side).  As I’ve said before, being 5 months pregnant leaves me with a lot less room for food.  By the end of the meal, I had eaten rather more than I should have and was feeling slightly uncomfortable. 

Two other women walked in as I was exiting the restaurant, rubbing my swollen belly and moaning to my co-worker about over-eating.  One of women looked and my belly and quipped, “Woah!  You really ate a lot!”

3 Things

24 Jul

Last week, Carole at Yukon Chatterbug tagged me for a meme, and I’m just getting around to doing it now.  Here’s how it works:

You have to ask your significant other to tell you three things that they know about you and then publish this information on your blog. You also have to pick more victims and then go to their blogs and leave them a comment, letting them know that they have been tagged. The comment must end with the word ‘pthththth’. I don’t know why, I am just repeating what I was told.

Michael already did his response last week.  He actually IMed me because he couldn’t wait for me to get home to tell him three things I know about him.  And then this is what he said about me:

Michael says:
You:
- are stronger than you think you are.
- are always right.

Fawn says:
??

Fawn says:
are you being sarcastic?

Michael says:
No.

Michael  says:
- steal the show.

Fawn says:
steal the show?

Michael says:
Yes.  Every time you perform, people stop whatever they’re doing to be awestruck by your awesomeness.

Fawn says:
I think you are trying to cover me with butter.

Yes, I know the expression is “butter me up”, but there’s another story behind that one, which I will save for another day.

There you have it.  The things Michael will say when he wants to get lucky is asked what he knows about me.

I guess I’ll pick another couple as victims.  They haven’t been blogging much lately (probably because they’re wasting time decorating their brand new house or parenting their almost one-year-old or something equally silly…) so perhaps this will motivate them to get back on the horse again.  Peter and Rachelle: you’ve officially been tagged.
