At Dinara’s fashion show was someone I used to work with — when I used to work. They all knew me when I weighed 160 lbs more then I weigh now. And I look VERY different. After the show, I was on my way backstage to get Dinara’s clothes and he was coming out. I put out my hand and shook it and said “HI H.” And he gave me a blank look and said “Hi, H. B.” (like I didn’t know his name even though I just said it) And I continued to shake his hand. Savoring every minute. And said “Kym L. I used to run the X group at X before you took it over?” And I saw the light bulb go off. He looked me up. He looked me down. And all he could say at first was “Wow. Hi!” And then I said “I bet you didn’t recognize me. I’m quite a bit different then last time you saw me”. And he replied “I’ll say! You look GREAT!”

And that my friends was priceless. What a great way to start the weekend.

Do you know how many times I have DREAMED about people from work seeing me now? I am so different. I’ve only seen a handful of people. I can’t wait for the day I see one of my former bosses.

And I looked GOOD today too. That is always nice. Usually my luck is that I run into someone when my hair looks like crap, I have no makeup on, and I look like the queen of frump. But today I was *together*. And it was vaguely satisfying.
