So, here I was, working at the polls yesterday as an election judge.  Something I would never have done 180 pounds ago.  I was enjoying my day (I love politics and am so excited by the Obama win!!) and one of the other election judges says to me "So, when is the baby due?"  I'm like, "What baby?".  She meant me!!!!!   I felt soooo bad and soooo mad at the same time.  Here I was feeling good about me and some knob comes and wrecks it.  WTF!!!!   So I just said "This baby is a whole buncha extra skin because I lost a whole lotta weight."   Then it got uncomfortabley quiet.      It did however keep me away from the cookie table all day.   Nothing like a little extra motivation, hmmm?   Baby.....

Good grief!  It's true, you really CAN'T fix STUPID!

I think I'd have grabbed my muffin top, waved it at her but good and said "Oh THIS ol' thing?  It's called a muffin top, honey!  But as long as were conversing, what do you call that lump of goo in between your ears???"

If you were at a polling place in Lakeville, could it have been the spaz who said to John McCain when he was at Lakville HS "Obama is an Arab" or whatever she said?  This lady, here:

Look familiar? 

I'm sorry she said that to you, I would have been so mad. I can see how it would ruin your otherwise good and exciting day.  Good for you keeping away from the cookies!

Sometimes the only effective response to an insensitive, dumbass question is a close proximity mooning.  Seriously, though, you have done a wonderful and inspiring job of improving your health and vitality.  Perhaps you could offer up a suitable curse on them for being so rude (may a thousand camels foul their bedchamber, for example)
