It's amazing I'm able to make friends at all with these mad social skillz
This morning Clara "River's Edge" Jane and I met some of our friends at the zoo. This is a group of women - four of us - that I met on Babycenter when we were all pregnant. We all have daughters born within ten days of each other.
One of the moms moved to St. Louis from Detroit during her pregnancy, and unfortunately (for the rest of us - I think she's glad about the situation) her family is moving back to Detroit next week. So, we all got together for one last outing this morning.
But that's neither here nor there, really.
The kids were having a snack break, and us moms - as moms are wont to do - were comparing teething horror stories. I participated in the following exchange:
Angie: When does teething end?
Me (perplexed): Uh .... when they get all their teeth?
I am so smooth.
(Hi Angie! I told you I would be blogging that!)
Clara "I Dig Hippos" Jane and me. I was standing on my foot, instead of gnawing on it, for once.

Aw, she's looking so grown up these days! And any time you want to visit that friend in Detroit ... you can always stay here with Terry and me :)

Poppy, you look totally cute in that picture, even cuter than Clara "baby model" Jane if that is possible. I am digging your hairs.

Look at you two dressed in pink girls! Entirely too cute!

Oh, Poppy! You look so good! And that Clara "I'm so precious" Jane...is well, just so precious!

Thanks. I love this photo, because it cuts off at my waist, thus concealing the 2/3 of my entire body weight that's centered between my belly button and upper thighs.
As for the hair, here's my secret: don't color it for a year, then walk around the zoo in the heat and humidity. Voila! Pretty! The photo also mercilessly cuts out my gray roots.
My friend Jill took this. I've always liked Jill. But now, seeing how she managed to take a photo of me in which my worst features are cut out, I think Jill is going to be my new best friend.

And now that I look at it, my face is mostly concealed, too. Really, it's a picture of my tits in a really good bra.
I have found the secret to getting a good photo of my - just zero in on my chest! :)
