"i have thought about ths day, dreamed about this day, for as long as i can remember"  Tina Tercel, now and then.

eureeka!

 this bottom and this top

for a grand total of $38.50. 

i went to no less than 7 stores and tried on the good the bad and the UGLY and i am pleased to say i am satisfied with the swimming suit i found at kohls. i covers my bum, it covers my chest and it doesnt look like a granny suit. 

is it too much to ask?

D has been asking about the pool ever since we let him start wearing shorts. the pool opens in a week.

heres the problem, i need a swimming suit. i just dont feel like its appropriate for the pastors wife to be parading around the public pool in a bikini, nor do i like being gawked at by 40 year old bald guys which is inevitable when you have all your groceries out there for the world to see.

i need a modest swimming suit. it has become apparent to me that manufacturers and retailers assume unless you wear a 16 or bigger you must want your groceries out for the world to see, i dont. i also dont want to look like a grandma. the one suit i found that fit like a dream and had a reasonable price was the most HIDEOUS print i have EVER seen, i looked like a 1970's couch, with its brown and rust floral design.

so is it too much to ask for support, full coverage and a reasonable price?

i guess so.

bummer

i will be picking up and putting away all the books today, the family left this morning. we are all bummed out to see them go home. *sigh*

well read

what happens when you take 2 people who leave books laying all over the house,add 3 more readers to the bunch and throw in 2 little boys who love to be read to?

this, this is what happens... i took all of these photos (plus some i didnt post) within 5 minutes of one another. 

theyre on the end tables...

the couch.....
the floor....

i must go now, i have books to return to the library.
