For your amusement

Remember when I said that I had to renew my driver's license? Well I did it. And it's not pretty people. Not pretty at ALL. I wasn't going to post this, but I like to make people feel good about themselves. And seeing how hugely fat I've gotten will probably make you feel good about how skinny you are. So this is my little Christmas present to you (even if it's late!)

The old picture (right after Brad and I got back from our honeymoon in 2008)


AND the new picture...


I know, I know. It's hilarious. I can't help but laugh at it. But to credit myself, I think you always look fatter in the temporary picture than in the real license you get in the mail several weeks later. And I really don't think my face is that fat in person. And if it is, please don't tell me! I hear it enough from complete strangers in Lowe's, little old ladies at church and my grandmother! AND I totally forgot that my roots are mega-bad so not only am I fat in my picture, but I have some serious rootage going on.

I fully intend on paying for a redo once I lose the baby weight!

In other news, it's supposed to snow here Thursday and Friday. This is BIG NEWS in Alabama! It's only going to be 1-3 inches but I'm sure everything is going to close down and Publix will have no groceries by Wednesday. In case you didn't already know, I hate snow. HATE. So not only do I have to deal with the stupid white stuff, it's also going to prevent me from celebrating my birthday at The Bright Star like I do every year! My birthday is Friday and we Alabamians don't know how to drive in the snow. So we all just stay indoors. SOO my birthday woohaa is being postponed until Saturday. At least I will get some Bright Star SOMETIME this weekend!

Oh and Thursday, Alabama plays for it's 13th national championship! Hopefully, the blizzard won't interfere with the power....otherwise, my husband may have a heart attack.

i love this blog.
i'm a lame-o lurker who lurks probably because we're due around the same time... i burst out laughing when i read your post. My face is totally "round" too - (i'm telling myself it's water weight & it will go away immediately when babe is born). Anyway - thanks for the christmas present... even though it didn't make me feel skinny - you're not alone!
