Lowered expectations

I bought a swimsuit today. At the first store I went to. After only going to the fitting room once. With a two-year-old.

Amazing how easy that is to accomplish when your only requirements are "does it cover my butt?" and "will it stay on when I go down the waterslide tomorrow?"

That is the most amazing thing I've ever heard. I usually have a few weeks of self-loathing after buying a new swimsuit. Keep that butt covered. :)

Mercifully, nobody brought a camera. If you're really interested, you can photoshop a copy of my head onto the models here:

Oh, and add 50 pounds and take away at least four shades of tan.

Not exactly the bikini that we were expecting, but it is a nice looking suit for a nice looking gal.
