Random thoughts on bacon and bathing suits

It's just about time to get into a bathing suit.

Ughhhhh.

Pfffssshhh.

Ugh.

*sigh*

I'm on the hunt for a new suit, even though I just bought one last year. I'm not crazy about it, so I need a new one. It's like the most impossible task ever.

It used to be so easy.



Look how cute I used to be. This was 8 years ago. Pre-kids. I look nothing like that now, so don't go leaving me compliments in my comments or anything.

I really like the more "retro" looking ones. You know, the ones that have LOTS more coverage but super cute style?? I've got my eye on this one...



It's only $140 so I'll probably get 2 just in case.

(that's a joke.)

I'm plotting how to convince my husband I neeeeed this.

I gave him 2 kids with a perfectly good bikini-body for goodness sake.

Before I make any sort of commitments to any bathing suits, I need to get my ghostly white legs just slightly more colored. Like frying up two slabs of albino bacon. Because fat looks better tan, don't ya think?

So today I laid out on my deck in my bathing suit bottoms praying not a single one of my retired-old-man-neighbors looked my way. Unfortunately I need to keep this horrifying ritual up, because I am seriously pale.

Ughhhhh.

Pfffssshhh.

Ugh.

*sigh*

Lands End has some really nice suits that offer more coverage, but the price tag isn't much better yhan the one you want now.

I'm with Mrs. G on that one, Land's End has some serious chic-ness going on this season, with definite retro flare...we went tanning before Florida so we didn't fry our albino selves, and I convinced Marvin to let me buy one more month...so...I'll have pre-tanned fat when pool season hits! :-)

Girl, I so hear you on that! I seriously need a new suit. I am not sure I can do a two piece though. I need color so bad I am such a yucky color of white!
