Beaches, pools and sand in my toes!

Ever since I was a little girl I have had this deep love for swimming suits. Some girls loves shoes, some girls love sweaters, some have an obsession for jeans. Mine is swimwear. I don't know what it is that draws me to it. I think that it started when I was young because swimming suits meant summer- which meant hot, fabulous days in my second home mesquite! Where that's what you wear all day because it's to hot for clothes! Any time I walk into a store the first place i look without even knowing that it's happening is the wall of swimming suits. I have a whole drawer in my dresser that is full of them. Yet i can get enough! They symbolize so much. The lake, the tanning, the warmth, the beach, the sand, the water. In 13 days (but who's counting:)) we are headed to San Diego- which i cant wait for! So of course I thought I need a new swimsuit. I went to Victoria's Secret and they are having a huge sale! I kept putting suits in my "shopping bag" as they call it thinking I could filter out the ones I decide I didn't want. Well- I bought five. Yes, five! Five new swimming suits. And it felt great! You know when you see a good deal so you feel like you need to take advantage (Lori- those 8 pair of shoes!)That is what happened. I just kept thinking "Oh, what a great deal! Add it to the bag!" It is a happy day for me when I can lay in the sand on a fabulous beach with a fruity cold something in my hand, some sweet sunglasses on my face, great company next to me, and a hot new swimsuit! Nothing better! Yay for summer!

I am SOOOOO jealous you are going to lay on the beach! I am however not too fond of buying swimsuits and most likely not this summer at all! Have fun and think of me while I am still at home! Oh and by the way, love the bargains!

So that's what you and Mama Jules were doing at the ole' mall eh? GOod work. Sorry it took so long to comment on your blog (it puts mine to shame), but have fun down in the sun, Kort and I are headed to Vegas this weekend, but there is no beach there, just a whole lot of Cactus and drive thru wedding chapels

At least you can wear the shoes year round. so I would consider them a better bargin.

It's easy to love swimsuits when you have a great body! I wouldn't know how that is, especially after having a baby. I am avoiding swimwear like the plague this summer!
