After this I'm leaving you alone about this topic.. promise

Unless I forget and talk about bathing suits again..which could happen.

The swimsuit discussion had been suspended for a week or so, this is where we left off..

Right here, with this woman

in a gorgeous swimsuit that has probably never touched a pool or lake.

Since shopping is to me like sucking cold water up my nose

I forced myself into a Marshall's store last week to look for a rug,

a nice tough outdoor rug for the front porch.

There were no such rugs in Marshalls. 

I forced myself to the swimsuit racks.

Countdown to Florida vacation - 50 days.

and my body is not getting smaller.

At this very moment I'm watching a Food Network show

The Best Thing I Ever Ate - Chocolate.

This isn't helping a thing!

Chocolate pudding, Smore pie.

Moving on. 

Have I avoided the topic long enough?

Did the porch rugs and chocolate distract you at all from the inevitability of the 

following photos of actual

swim suits that are not on my body?  

 Three swim suits spent several days crunched together in this bag

in my home until 

1. I was alone in the house 2. I had showered 3. I had on protective items.. ah hem 

(we don't know WHERE these babies have been!) 

Note lots of black. 

Tried this one first.. couldn't get it off fast enough.

Made me gasp.

Not such a low neckline, covers back fat better

and it has a tutu skirt.

Could perhaps go out in public in this..

And just when I was beginning to feel a bit encouraged.

I tried on this one..

This was hilarious.

Back to the tutu..

Thanks for understanding.. my friends.

You do understand, don't you?

Love
