Yikes! It’s bathing suit season!

The last time I wore a bikini was 1987.
It was a bold move for someone who’d had a baby a few months earlier. I look at pictures from a vacation to Mexico that summer and I still can’t believe I had the nerve to wear a two-piece.

This isn’t the bathing suit I wore. But I wish it were. Since then, I’ve had maybe two one-piece swimsuits that cover all the squishy parts and make me look like a big old matronly cow. I had one a few years ago with a little skirt. I was glad when it ripped.
The thing is, I love the beach, I love swimming and I love summer. But bathing suits really scare me. The last time I bought one, we were on a family trip to Hilton Head Island and Richard Roundtree was sitting at the pool.
Wow, I thought! How lucky I’d just bought a flashy mermaidish suit at the gift shop.
Of course he didn’t notice. I spent all the time underwater so nobody would see what I looked like.
Well, as Memorial Day Weekend approaches, it’s bathing suit season again. I recently found that Richard Roundtree bathing suit buried under some towels. It looks okay. But I could definitely use a few new ones.
How do you deal with bathing suit shopping?

Please, can you PM me and tell me few more thinks about this, I am really fan of your blog…
Excellent post thanks. I also think Google is going to start leaning more towards interactive websites that contain web videos and web presenters. I heard somewhere that Google can even pick out keywords from audio..
