I don't even know.

Yesterday I was online window shopping at Victoria's Secret and checking out their new swim wear and shoes (lots of their styles go up to size 11, I'm guessing for the cross dressing crowd). Anyway, I think I may try one of their long torso tankini's.

Then I looked at the bikinis. Why, you ask? Because at one point in my life before children, before infertility drugs, and before the birth control pill I could have worn every single one of them and looked HOT. And I was bored. SO I found some super cute ones that I would have bought back in the day for my former stick figure self.

Like this one

And this one

But then they got scary.

And then I just couldn't comprehend them anymore.

That last one is a topless bikini. Why? Why would you do that to yourself? It's not flattering, even to the stick figure model. And yet you know that some girl with giant boobs is going to buy that, wear it on spring break, and be in video. Honestly, if you want to show off the ladies just take your shirt off. There is no need to buy a topless bikini for $68.

Am I old? Does this make me not cool?

Project planning

Spring will get here eventually and I am already planning our spring/summer projects. There's a ton of painting to do; which means at some point I will need to decide on some paint colors and stay with those decisions.

The project I'm really looking forward to is outside. We need to do some grading and rebuild some window wells and after that's done we will be re-landscaping the backyard complete with patio and walkway, fence, new play set, more vegetable and herb beds, and flowers. An outdoor fireplace might also be in order.

I am in planning and info gathering mode right now. We are going to do all of this ourselves. I am so excited to be planning something again.

So how about you? What are you plotting at the moment?
