daily blatherings

There’s a woman at Chantelle’s school that I talk to sometimes and today she really did my head in.

WOMAN: I’ve been going to the GYM everyday
ME: oh gosh, I am trying to lose weight too but it’s been really hard.
WOMAN: It’s really not that hard. How tall are you?
ME: 5′2
WOMAN: What’s your weight?
ME: Last time I checked it was 124lb
WOMAN: Oh yeah, you do need to lose 10lb.
ME: Uhmm… ok then…

Me thinking to myself: Hello?! You’re not exactly stick thin are you? You look like you need to lose 20lbs yourself!

Seriously! I know she’s going to the gym everyday probably to lose the 20lbs baggage she’s carrying but she didn’t have to be like that.

ME: Hala! (<--according to flickr, it means hi in Arabic)
LAILA: HI, did i tell you I am 4 months pregnant?
ME: Really? Wow! I can’t believe it. Are you with an English man?
LAILA: You are a crazy woman. He is Somalian.
ME: Oh… I should really put a sock in it.
LAILA: A sock? No, It should be a whole cloth! LOL.

LOL. I should put a sock in my mouth. Laila is a muslim and has a very strict upbringing and she’s not allowed to date other people than her own. I don’t agree with it but “to each their own”.

Ryan and I took Chantelle out to the park today and after that we had pizza at the pizza place on base.

“After a slice of pizza, you must be mad… not to have another one.” – Connie, presenter of Blue Peter.

Well, I had 4 slices! Waaaaa!! (yahoo crying face here.) 2 small slices of meat pizza with jalapeno and 2 large pepperoni pizza!

Oh well! LOL.
