Monday / Tuesday / This Coming Saturday
May. 28th, 2013 10:18 pmFinally bit the bullet and told my coworkers. They were enthusiastic. The highly religous coworker, however, made me very uncomfortable by praying over me and saying that she just knew it would be a healthy, strong baby to serve the Lord.
I do not mind other people being religous. Some of the best people I know are. I do mind, however, when someone else's faith is forced on me. But I was polite and bit my tongue and didn't say any of the myriad things that I wanted to. Analogies to kicking a puppy, for instance, come to mind....
Also, in probably a case of my seamstress' bias showing, over the weekend I went to Macy's because my mother had told me they were having a maternity clothing sale. To put it mildly, I was appalled at the offerings. Ugly, made of cheap fabric, definitely not designed to make pregnant women look or feel beautiful or appealing.... The only interesting things I saw in the store were a name-brand designer skirt and blouse, not on sale, not in the maternity section, and not in my budget. $120 for a skirt and $50 for a blouse is ludicrous!
Also, if anyone on my flist in the Bay Area is interested, I'll be up in the Walnut Creek neck of the woods on Saturday during the day. I'm driving up with my parents Friday afternoon, so unfortunately I won't have my own transportation, though.
