thanks...i think??
so, today, i was visiting one of my clients. As i put my boots on again in preparation to leave, she said completely out of the blue "you look like you've put on some pounds", this after seeing me only last tuesday. My reaction, without falling off the one foot i was standing on while putting a boot on the other, was something to the effect of "well, i'm not sure that's something i was hoping to hear, haha" trying to make light of it... she then replied "oh, but don't worry, it's all in the right places". thanks?? or something. i don't even know what that means. i know i'm not as thin as i used to be...it's what winter, eating too much and not exercising enough will do to a gal, but it's never nice to hear, even if it's someone who's opinion doesn't really matter at the end of the day...though maybe a little, as i AM writing a post about it...
and the weather is getting warmer, i better shed a few before i can no longer hide behind layers of winter coats, boots and scarves:)

You know in Filipino culture they will readily tell you if you lose or gain weight or change anything about you. It is not meant to be offensive, but showing that they care for you by paying attention. It took a while to get used to over here, that is for sure.
I'm with you on the hiding behind coats thing....I considering purchasing a few muumuus for the summer months.
May I recommend the Polynesian Patio Dress pictured here...ooooh! contrasting trim and chenille flowers! Very sassy.
