Talking my friend didn't recognize me

I went to church yesterday and while in service a friend of mine though I was one of my husbands sisters as she didn't recognize me. Last night she told me she had no idea who I was until the pastor said my name. I felt kind of odd that she didn't recognize me so soon. But it was funny. Everyone is telling me I am looking younger.... what an ego booster since I just turned 36.
I can't wait to see how many more people don't recognize me

What Sawyer would call me on LOST: ladybug

"People will argue with you that getting what you want in life isn’t something you can learn, if you’re destined to be one of the worlds winners as opposed to one of its perpetual whiners, its because you have been born with the right talents and temperament and have a big dose of self-esteem, ambition, and good judgment."

Glad to hear you are out and about! It's weird people not recognizing you! I have had it happen 3 or 4 times now and it's hard for me to realize that I look so different.

We went to Irela's company picnic last weekend and a few people didnt know who she was walking around holding hands with..... oh it was me...

funny how many people do double takes and say things like "I didnt recognize you, Bill"
