Today we took Bug and Jem to an indoor swim park. This meant I had to get into a bathing suit. Remember that cute-but-way-too-expensive one I bought for Hawaii earlier this year? Threads unraveled after swimming in it a handful of times, so back it went. Nordstrom rocks the returns! On short notice with only a few days left in Maryland, I had to find another suit, and ended up with the most unflattering, roll-enhancing suit possible. It was all I could find in my size without spending a fortune. Ah, here is it... I can't find the swimsuit on its own, but it's effectively covered up here, and the skinny bitch in it wouldn't have to worry anyway (no offense to other skinny bitches out there - I'm just jealous).
So today I decided not to wear the Rolls of Thunder bathing suit (hee - an old teaching pun. Get it? Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry? guess not), I grabbed one of my old suits, one a little more flattering in the tummy region.
After spending way too much time positioning my boobs, only to have them looking at my feet again after a minute, I decided to go with Rolls of Thunder suit, which offered more chestal support (and by support I mean a shelf with deep cleavage).
Yes, I've admitted it. I've not yet put myself on the Deployment Diet. Four months to go. ugh.
Kids loved swimming, by the way. Jem repeatedly threw herself headfirst into the water, while Bug repeatedly said she was going to go under but never did. The park was awesome!
I've always wondered if the perfect bathing suit is like the Holy Grail of Womanhood.

I guess this question is really bothering Kranki. ;)
I think the perfect suit is one that would make everyone invisible.

heee Kranki and Shari cracked me up. Kranki does mean ALWAYS.
That waterpark looks very cool. No pun intended; because, um, you're in Alaska, and that wouldn't even be funny.

Well I have never found a perfect swimsuit. I would be amazed if I did. I just realized that baby Avery was born on bug's birthday how cool is that?

I've never been to H2Oasis. I tend to stay away from places like that. by "places like that" i mean places were water, children and miscellaneous other bystanders are present. i tend to stay away from these places because last time i was at one i vomited in it and an 8 year-old totally called me out to her frowning mother. i was 20.
