Are you serious??

  So today I was pulling out the stuff for dinner tonight when I realized crap I am out of half the spices I use on my pork chops. So as soon Steve walked though the day at 4 pm I tagged out and rushed over to the commissary in hopes of beating the after work crowd and pick up the 5 things I needed. Of course the problem with living on a rather large base is that the commissary is ALWAYS busy unless you get there butt crack early or really super late. I grab the things I need and head to the self check out where only 3 people waiting when a lady comes up in line behind me. I am just causally minding me own business staring at the coke cooler fighting the urge to grab a Dr. Pepper Bold when she says "So, when are you due?" I look sideways at her expecting to see some women with a cute baby bump or a cell phone in her hand, but instead I find myself staring right into her eyes. I am stunned! I know I am not 100 lbs, but I definitely don't think I look pregnant and I sure don't look far enough along for someone to be so bold as to ask when I am DUE!! I ask her if she's talking to me and I can tell just by her facial expression she's regretting her question. I say the only thing I can say at this point as I am holding back a growing lump in my throat "13 months ago, but thanks for the motivation I needed to workout today." Then I turn my back to her and just pray to GOD this line moves fast. The next time I get enough courage to look behind me she is gone. Probably sulking at another line. At least it's a lesson for her...KEEP YOUR MOUTH SHUT!  I never ask anyone when their due unless I have been told they are pregnant even if they look like they could pop any second. It's just plain dangerous.  Needless to say my urge for soda went out the window!
