I loved attending to the children at the women's shelter where I had volunteered. Most of them were troubled inner city kids. I was raised in Philadelphia, PA so I could really relate to their fear and restlessness.

One day while I was serving lunch and laughing at the children's tables, a boy about 7 yrs old shouted out that I was "ghetto". I guess to someone else, that may sound like an insult. But when several other little ones yelled in agreement, "Yeah, she ghetto like us!" and rushed at me to get hugs, you can understand that it meant they truly connected with me. :)

I'll never forget that. ♥

I got one this weekend that personally I found creepy and not a compliment. Maybe it was the way it was said...or perhaps totally inappropriate to say at a grocery store. regardless I wasn't thrilled with it.

I'm standing in the frozen foods looking at the new AMY'S organic bowls that the grocery store was offering and this guy approaches and says "wow you have great muscle definition"...I did the whole sarcastic Thanks thing and moved on.

It just was creepy. I purposely go to the grocery store in...as my children describe it clothes 2 times to big for me with no make up and hat on for a reason. And I do not have what I would call muscle definition...now Ronda Rousey...that is muscle definition!!!

I don't know it just bothered me...like why are you looking at me like that.

My friends and I were at T.G.I.F. (yes, we have them in India). After drinks and dinner, we got up to leave when a gentleman stopped me near the bar counter. He looked at me, took a swig from his glass and said, "I.... i.... like your style, man. You have a good sense of dressing!"

I tipped my hat, pulled my scarf closer around my neck and walked out with my friends.

LOL, Blue. My reply (on a bad day) would probably be, "Yeah. And you could definitely be a spokesperson for something... because you obviously have a big mouth!"

P.S. I don't know if I've ever seen a picture of you but you're obviously warm, funny, caring, and sincere.

In other words, you're beautiful! :)

What I find most troubling is that last week I saw an add for plus sized fashion... and the "plus sized model" had a regular body... she just didn't look like hanger... O.O she had a REGULAR body... there was no "plus size" there...

When did THIS become plus size?????



I'm scared of this world... if this is plus size, then Victorias Secret models are the new regular??? O.O What in the world is going on?????????

I....well um....noooo lol don't think it was a compliment.
But if it amuses you all I am at joy!

Recently I was doing dishes singing. My brother was there ( I always sing for the fam lol)

So I said " Hey bro! You know you like my singin'"

He patted my shoulder with a loving smile and said...

"Sis....you are a ' legend in your own mind'...uh hee hee"


:p
Bliss....

In the world of modeling if you are an 8 you were a plus size. Now they have moved it to a 12. She from what I recall is a 14! A beautiful woman with a healthy body!

No, more like, you're a Skinny Minnie, Little Miss Recently Lost a Bunch of Weight! :)

And, we are proud of you for toughing it out!!

(Mel, after several months of practice, I've finally trained myself to read while on the treadmill and it's made it so much more bearable!! Hope you find something that keeps your groove going, too. :))

Yeah, in the area where I live, that "plus-sized" model would be considered pretty skinny.

(Regular models are now a size 0-2. Basically... Ever go walk through the "Juniors" section of a store? You know, the department where 12-15 year-olds shop. That's pretty much the size of the average model today, except, of course, she's also required to be at least 5'9" inches tall.)

Yup...my niece had a beautiful body. Suddenly she is so skinny that I grabbed her Sunday and said if you think your aunt will not take you to meetings and a clinic you're wrong. Put some weight back on or you will see the side of me that drags you kicking a screaming all the way to a hospital.

I loathe the treadmill. I loathe running. Ugh. I bike a lot though. It's the wind and the scenery that makes the workout bearable to me.
