• WTF is wrong with you?!

  This past weekend was fall break and most of the athletes at SJU were off until today. I spent the weekend having a less than stellar trip to Florida for my cousin's wedding. My grampa fell and hit his head the day we arrived and was in the hospital the whole time we were there. It was very upsetting and very stressful and I no doubt ate more than I should have. My grampa is doing much better and has been moved to a rehab facility and while this should be the point of this post, it's not.
  
  Today, no less than 6 people have made comments indicating that I look MUCH bigger than they remember. Only one of them did so with any sort of tact. His wife delivered 5 children, go figure. The next person to look at me and say "WHOA!" or "LOOK HOW BIG YOU GOT" will be rewarded with a forearm to the face. And then I'll kick them while they're down.
  
  I think the expression, "you're glowing!" must have been coined as a way to avoid saying, "holy crap, you're huge!" Not that my skin isn't fantastically smooth, soft and for some reason a little darker, but i don't see how anyone could know most of that without touching my face. Anyway, could we all just be a little more sensitive to the pregnant lady's feelings? I'm already extra emotional without people pointing out that I also currently possess the ability to eclipse the sun. And add on the fear that I'm going to produce a 10 lbs baby and it's just a recipie for a lot of crying and potentially more food being shoved into my face!
  
  I'd post a picture but I don't know if it would fit on this very small screen.
  
  go phils.
