Hi everyone

I'm a Japanese teacher and today was Japanese Day in our International Languages Week. I wore my yukata (a summer kimono) and just for a laugh got the kids to take my pic in front of the same backdrop as last year.

Put the pics side by side, and well..... yeah. So incredibly buzzed out by this - To me this is somehow the biggest evidence of how much I've lost :)

The yukata was made for me when I was 17 (I'm 32) and it fits better now than it did then!

    I don't mind. Funny thing is that a year ago I thought the pics on the left were nice. NOw I'm looking at them thinking 'hey the chick on the right is kinda hot!':p Kidding, but you know what I mean. Had no idea I was such a roly poly at the time!
