and a check and another check

[pywacket]

James has gone to the dentist once--check.
He's finishing up this week--check
I found a swimsuit that is 1)very sun protectant (I burn immediately and get rashes) 2) covers my tats so I don't scare the normals AND they don't fade (spf 50 baby) 3) is just wacky enough looking and just not wacky enough looking to keep everyone confused. Finally 4) covers enough of the oh boy I had a baby body.

That means that two big things are checked off the list. I really think I'll be able to take her to the pool this summer and I found James a hilarious geek dentist (I'm going to switch to her too). She gave him toys! Light up things that make your teeth change colors and a bouncy ball and an elmo toothbrush for the Bean. They talked about lasers and physics.

I clap my hands and rub them together...what's the next thing?!

I might be coming to Chicago for two weeks this summer. Stay tuned.

eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

I will be so happy! We will fill you full of things both good and bad for you. I will pelt you with cats. There will be chocolate sauce!

As I say, stay tuned! I need to talk to a few people first, but I will let you know very soon!

(Mostly bad for me, I hope!!!)

OMFG! I will be SO jealous if you get to visit with the Martinis and their Bean!

"4) covers enough of the oh boy I had a baby body."


I gotta get one of those! . . . without looking like I'm wearing one of those prudish 1930's full-coverage suits. Ack!

I'm pretty allergic to the sun, so this should get us to the pool and keep me from being embarrassed at the fact that I have thighs now.

I kinda go for the thirties look and would absolutely wear one of those (bloomers and the stripey dress) were I in a less conservative place. If we move back to my home town, I'm absolutely going to get one--they already know I'm odd there ;-)

home is where you can be yourself :)

[pywacket.livejournal.com]

or at least most of yourself :-)
I think I'm all of myself at home, in the home. Or at the rescue farm or at the Bean's school. The pool here...too much of an unknown and I can't relax until it isn't. I spent so many days at the pool in Fayetteville that I could probably paint my ass bright green and walk on my hands and not feel weird there.

But then I'm a strange one.

Thanks for the link. Some of those suits are pretty nice. Although my problem isn't thighs. It's belly. I still look 5 months pregnant. I need one of those tankinis that hangs freely (until it gets wet, of course!)

i've actually found Speedo suits to be the most flattering on my body (and trust me i need flattering more than you do!). K and i went swimming almost every day last summer at the public pool ... adult swim is a well kept sectret in our part of town :D

so please to tell me..what do you do with your hair? I'm worried the chlorine will do something to it and I don't want to be one of those women that won't get her head wet for fear of a green mane.

I didn't know that. I've always heard, even from the artists, that they fade. So what's the deal with getting the color touched up then? The guy who did my portrait of Hotspur,said I'd need to get the orange and white brightened up (actually years ago)because those colors fade fast. It would be nice to not be so paranoid about them .
