So, in Who needs enemies when you have friends like that? news....
Went to have lunch with a "friend" the other day. We aren't particularly close as she has, in the past, been a total hoor to me. Things were mended and whatever.
So there I am, having lunch with her - that *I* bought and grought with me, even though she invited me - and I noticed our Christmas card on the wall. I said, "Hey! There we are!" She replied, "Yep! I thought that was such a neat picture." "Why?", I asked, thinking stupidly that it was the novelty of the palm trees and such. She said, and I quote,
"I thought it was neat how you posed yourself so noone could tell if you hadn't lost your baby weight. You can't see your hips, your belly or anything!"
I about choked on my salad.
FTR - this [link] was the picture.
Ye gods, Aims, what a sow!
eta: By which I mean her, obviously, not you. It may be a wee bit premature to move her back onto the complete hoor board, but she's definitely on notice.
I give all my sick to your "friend"
"Well, I think it's neat how you're so completely transparent."
I politely told her that I was good at disguising my "problem" areas, but that I am, in fact, 15 lbs down from my pre-pregnancy weight.
Then again, this is the same person who, a year after my wedding said, "I'm glad you put that weight you lost back on."
You've met her, too. You know just how special she is.
I was gonna ask, but I decided not to. Now I'm coming to find you on AIM.
Since this woman has not been struck by lightning or covered by boils, I'm beginning to wonder about the Empress's smiting abilities.
