"Are you Smudge's Mom?"

After lunch out today, DH and I decided to go buy local cell phones at the PX. There was a line when we got there, so I stood in line while DH looked at phones with LO. I'm minding my own business (for once) when a lady in the store approaches me and quietly asks, "Are you Smudge's Mom?"

My first thought was, "What has that dog done now?" Then it dawned on me that is my screen name! LOL! She "outted" herself as a lurker, and wanted to say hello and welcome! She'd recognized us from my picture below.

Iheartpjpants, I saw you posted below! After we left the phone store, we went to the commissary. After that, it was nap time for LO and me. Your saying hi totally made my day!!!

Re: "Are you Smudge's Mom?"

  • Ha Ha! I'm glad you didn't think I was a total weirdo! I'm going to PM you with my contact info in case you have any questions/need anything. I know it's a bit of a challenge here not knowing anyone. Trust me, we had a rough time. So if I can help in any way I am happy to! We've actually sponsored a couple of people. Not officially but we just took it upon ourselves to give them the help we didn't have.

     Anyway, it was great meeting you! You have an adorable family!

    Not a weirdo at all! You are the first person to actually welcome me here because I'm me (not "the wife"). I'm glad that you said something!!! I've got to get dinner ready, but I'll respond to your PM.

    And, I didn't realize how soon you are due!!!! So exciting!

  • I love MN! This whole exchange makes me happy besides the fact I'm always nervous to be recognized IRL. :)
    I've seen a lot of military surprise homecomings. It wouldn't work on me. I always have my back to the corner and my face to the door. Looking for terrorists, criminals, various other threats, and husbands.
  • I cannot believe you ran into somebody from the nest. in Germany. on your second day there. crazy! 
  • How cool! Isn't technology awesome (sometimes...)?
