About a month ago, I was chillin’ out at the beach, wearing tank-tops, shorts and flip-flops all day, riding the motorbike and enjoying the life in Bali.
After 3 very long plane rides, and at least two to three weeks of adjustment to my new environment, I’ve now realized that I’ve become an onion. Getting ready in the morning used to be so easy… Now, everything is 3 times as long, cuz I have so many layers. First there’s the Mammy Poko (ok, they’re called Pampers or Huggies here, but I still call them Mammy Poko), then the leggings and long sleeve shirt, then a polar fleece and an extra pair of pants on top of that, then on the feet there are the socks or UGG boots, which my mom wishes were hers!
UGG Boots - Indoors Only...Mom is so jealous!
All this is so that we can stay indoors, can you believe it!
Then when we go out, I have to wear a scarf, a tuque, my winter coat, mittens and let’s not forget the boots! This is when my parents are too lazy to put on my snowpants, on milder days only!!
When we come home, it’s time to peel each of these layers off, one by one….Hey, at least I don’t make you cry like an onion would…well, maybe I should I ask mom & dad, what they think about that?
PS. Big Thanks to Aunties Sas & Kaz for the UGGs and keeping me fashionable even while indoors…and don’t worry I won’t wear them outdoors, cuz you told me that is so NOT Cool!. And Thanks to Auntie M for the Snowsuit which keeps me warm and still looking cute, although a bit like an Astronaut from Outer Space…But heck, when it’s that cold outside, you don’t really worry about your looks anymore!
