You and I share a lot of anxieties! The whole spider thing is really, really embarrassing and uncontrollable for me. I literally scream (shrilly) and lose control of whatever is in my hands. It's a miracle I never dropped a baby!
I have never, ever looked at you and thought you were overweight at ALL. I have always thought you look fabulous. But maybe my opinion doesn't count for much since I lump everybody into the "thinner than I am" category. You look great.
Your #29 really surprised me:o) How funny! I fear something happening to my family while I'm away too. Infact, for awhile I wouldn't go anywhere without all the kids and Damon.
I have never seen you as overweight! Seriously, I think you need a new mirror!
I've always wondered why you never call me...now I know:o)
Have a great week!!! And...call me sometime will ya!?!?
I think I learned the most about you from this blog entry. If it means anything, *I* think you're a good writer. It's what keeps me coming back to your blog. :-)
My greatest fear is that people will think I'm annoying, so I can relate.
But you never have to be scared of being the fatter of the two pigs. That position is already taken! :)
