Guest guest Posted August 8, 2002 Report Share Posted August 8, 2002 8/7/02 "A Blushing Surprise" I went to make some rice and discovered that there was only about a quarter cup of it left in the jar. I glanced at the clock and knew that if I left right then I could get to the corner store before it closed. As I hurriedly gathered my shopping bag and a few bucks and closed the door behind me, I caught my reflection in the glass. I thought I looked a lot like Winnie the Pooh with his honey-tummy sticking out. I was wearing a pair of Jim's shorts on my hips and an old t-shirt that I had cut off in the middle to accommodate my growing size and I sure hadn't planned on going out! For a moment I felt self-conscious and wondered if it was "appropriate" that I wear that to the store. Then I shrugged my shoulders to myself and left. By the time the key was in the ignition I had already forgotten about my appearance. Inside the store while shopping I returned a friendly smile to a man who passed by and then again, to the same man, on my way to the cash register. This time he stopped and while blushing, he said, "Please forgive me for staring....I really can't help it....there is something so beautiful about a pregnant woman....I'm sorry...." and then he disappeared into an aisle. I found that I, too, was wearing a blush but along with it a big grin. (In the next moment I was greeted by the cashier, who said, "Hey, Smiley!")
