Slap... on the back of the head

I think that everyone has days where they do not think that they are the most attractive thing on the planet, well this is not 'just days' in my world, this has been the story of my life. The other day when at work a coworker and I got to talking about dating and life in general. He said that he wanted to introduce me to his brother and we bantered back and forth about it for quite a while. Then he said that he could not introduce us because it would be love at first sight and he could not deal with that, to which he grinned. The next day the conversation continued, and then when someone that we do not work directly with came to ask a question after he left my immediate co-worker said that he wanted to set me up with the other kid. "Whatever" was my reply. I have never been one to look in the mirror and say "Oh yeah, I am hot." Or "Dang, I am so cute today and every other day." My morning routine goes more like this "Dang, I am breaking out so badly on my chin, and look at that mammoth zit on my temples" and "my cheeks are so red, look at that, gross." Then depending on the morning I may put some make-up on to mask some of it. We continued to talk and I made some sort of disparaging remark about myself and all of a sudden there was a slap on the back of my head in Gibbs from NCIS fashion.

The following song is one that my mother loves to attribute to me, and from the girl who is depicted in the lyrics it rings true to me.

She Don't Know She's Beautiful by Kenny Chesney

We go out to a party somewhere
The moment we walk in the door
People stop and everybody stares
She don't know what they're staring for

She don't know she's beautiful
(never crossed her mind)
She don't know she's beautiful
(no shes not that kind)She dont know shes beautiful
Though time and time i've told her so

There she goes just walking down the street
And someone lets a whistle out
A girl like her she just can't see
What the fuss is all about
And she don't know she's beautiful
(never crossed her mind)
She don't know she's beautiful
(no shes not that kind)
She dont know shes beautiful
Though time and time i've told her so

Mornin' comes and her hairs all a mess
That's when she thinks she looks her worst
It's times like this she dont know why
I can't take my eyes off her

And she don't know she's beautiful
(never crossed her mind)
She don't know she's beautiful
(no shes not that kind)
She dont know shes beautiful
Though time and time i've told her

She don't know she's beautiful
(never crossed her mind)
She don't know she's beautiful
(no shes not that kind)
She dont know shes beautiful
Though time and time i've told her

She don't know she's beautiful
(never crossed her mind)
She don't know she's beautiful
(no shes not that kind)
She dont know shes beautiful
Though time and time i've told her
