I know this sounds like a silly entry but a comment was made to me on Tuesday night at work and it has been bugging me. I think for the sheer fact that it was word vomit. I know that I suffer from it time to time.(ok most of the time) but it is saying weird things to people. (i.e. we went to the Temple when we were in Mesa and I saw a lady there that I hadn't seen in a long time. I told her that I had a huge crush on her son when I was in High School and I thought it was crazy that I married a guy that is in love with Pearl Jam as much as he was (yeah, I said that in the Celestial Room) There you go my word vomit. I could give more examples but I try after I say them to block them out of my mind.
Here is my case in point. I was showing a friend at work my blog because I had posted pictures on the reception and my family. I wanted to show this friend what my dress looked like since I had been obsessing over it for weeks. Well, this lady that sits behind me exclaimed "Wow you don't photography well. I mean you are pretty in real life but in pictures you don't look good at all." I will say that yes the pictures weren't professional photography grade and my smile a little forced. But I didn't think that they were that bad. But how, why, would you even say that to a person you don't even know. Thanks for the honesty! I didn't know what to say to this lady so I just turned my chair around and stopped talking to her.
Man that was brutual. Now I'm not fishing for compliments on how beautiful I am or anything like that. This comment just makes me think I should think before I create more word vomit in my own conversations.

Sad, forget that lady I think your beautiful, and your words are funny too!!
That's freaking hilarious that someone said that to you! What a weirdo. Not true, Rhiannon, not true.
you are a cute girl rhiannon, but i think the point is that lady has no manners! even if you think something like that, KEEP IT TO YOURSELF!! :)
maybe you should've said to her: would you like me to clean up the word vomit i just heard come out of your mouth or are you going to take care of it? ha ha.
I think the penrods hit it nail right on the head, some people are so insensitive. My good friend is adopting a beautiful little girl, (unfortunatly she hasn't been able to get pregnant) I was suprised at how many people actaully said to her, well at least you don't have to go through the whole pregnancy to get her. My friend just said, well if I could have I would have..
