I think fat looks better with a little color. Be it on the side of a steak or the side of my thick thigh.....I just need a little color to look more appealing.
No, I don't want to look like the older lady in "There's Something about Mary." I want to look sun kissed. Bronzed....someone who has been languishing on a desert island....drinking a Mai Tai while the exotic birds walk around the beach looking for crumbs from the croissants. My hair will be coiffed and .....none of this is the truth.
Laying in the sun has always bored me. I need a little activity. When we're at the beach, I like to read, or watch the waves, or look for shark's teeth....my family and I set up chairs where the water meets the land. We have our umbrellas and our funny stories. We consider ourselves the original homeland security force. I need a swim suit.

BUT, I digress.....the point of this blog is about finding a swimming suit. THIS is exactly why I can't find a swimming suit.
I've been looking. I want something comfortable without looking like a wedding tent. I want colorful without looking like a clown. I want form fitting-- without it being my current form.

Being a "Nanny" has taken me to the next stage of my life. Mary Michael and Sally don't care if I have cellulite-- they want me to build sand castles and read. They want to make cookies and play dolls. We have tea parties and sleep overs.
Finding a swimming suit was easy. I picked the brightest colored one I could find that fit me. Mary Michael saw it and simply stated, "I like your pink swimming suit. It's pretty."

Ah, to see the world through the lens of a child has renewed my spirit. I eat better so I have more energy. I dress wilder because the girls like color. And I build sand castles.....because I can!
