You and Me in the Summertime

Anyone who knows me knows that I have a swimming pool in the backyard.  Anyone who knows me better knows that I have not been in that pool, or any pool for that matter, in the last two years.  It's not that I don't know how to swim, or that I don't like swimming, because I do.  I just don't want to stuff myself in a bathing suit, nor do I want to get my hair wet.  Shallow yes, makes sense to me and my frizzy hair, absolutely.  Five years ago, pre-Mary Carolyne, Laurie and Anne Claire, me and my 125-lbs self wouldn't have thought twice about putting on my bathing suit and jumping in.  Now, me and my no way am I gonna say-lbs self get nauseated at the idea of putting on a suit and having adjust certain areas so as not to offend neighbors or scare children. That being said,  I love our backyard pool and I was glad that Ryan had the girls in it when I came home from work today.  They looked so cute splashing around and jumping off the diving board.  I decided since I won't get in, I'd take a few pictures....

If it's in your backyard and you have a fence, it doesn't matter what you look like! Just do it!
This-coming from someone who hasn't put on a bathing suit in about 4 years. Do as I say, not as I do. :)

Oh Lindsey,I know exactly what you mean. I actually bought a one-piece for our beach trip next week. I'm not about to stuff all of my "stuff" into a pre-Annsley type bathing suit. These babies do a number to our bodies, but they are so worth it.

Lindsey...I can totally relate. I am ALMOST coming to the realization that i will never get back down to what I use to way. Depressing. I think you look great and if I had a pool in my backyard (with privacy) I might even break out the bikini. :) Wait a minute...I don't own one of those anymore...not since before Camden. Rats.
