Still Got It

I hope you find this story more amusing than my husband did.

To set this up I have to tell you this: When I was a new missionary in Switzerland I had this wonderful trainer who was HILARIOUS! She made me laugh all the time. Sometimes when we would be walking down the street a car would honk. She would turn to me, grin and say, "You've still got it, Soeur(French for sister)!" We would laugh about that all the time.

Well, the other day I was coming home from teaching violin. It was a nice day and I was happy. As I was walking into our complex I noticed a tall ladder leading up to the roof of one of the buildings. There were about three men at the bottom of it just standing there. One of them kind of looked like the guy that lived in one of the apartments, but I don't think it was. I think they must have been workers. I didn't realize this at first and I just smiled a little, VERY little, as I passed. Most people here are pretty friendly to each other.

As I walked to my place I heard a male voice yelling, "Hi sweetheart! Hey, come back!" etc. I looked around and thought, "Are you kidding?! Their talking to ME?!" I looked back, kind of with a disgusted look on my face, at least it felt that way, and one of the men waved and yelled, "BYE!"

Ok, first of all, that just doesn't happen in this town much. Second, I just had a baby and don't really feel what I would call cute. And lastly, and the most important point of all... I was wearing PREGO PANTS!!!

No I am not pregnant and yes it has been over 3 months since I had my baby, but despite my efforts at the gym my "big" pants squeeze my insides after too long and it hurts. And my "bigger" pants have huge holes in them from over-use from my last pregnancy. So... it is true... sometimes I just wear the pregos-they are just more comfortable. (I actually did break down last night and bought some pants that I can wear NOW. Hopefully I won't have to for too long:-))

So, when I got inside my place, at first I thought, "Ugh, go be a creepy in your own neighborhood!" But then I busted up laughing in disbelief. I could just hear my awesome trainer saying, "You've still got it, Soeur!"

Just a little story to make you laugh. Now the next time you see me you will be saying, "Now are those prego pants or regular pants?" You'll never know... unless the panel is showing:-).
