Which of these swimsuits would look good on me? I want a new one. I'm assuming swimming in chainmail is inadvisable.

I have a question. I want to do a title card for a pic that's influenced by The Princess Bride, hopefully taken from a pic with Westley and Buttercup (Cas and Dean). Which source material would you guys recommend for iconicity?

I don't know about color, but I love the Bathing Beauty One Piece suit.

shrift, I suggest wine.

Totally just poured myself a glass!

Seriously, though, if I'd gone shopping for a bathing suit six months ago, there would have been tears. I guess that's progress.

Cash, I'd love to try that polish decoration. But I wish there were a way to do it without the letters reversed.

ita ! what about them at the bottom of the hill that Westley and Buttercup rolled down when she realized that the Dread Pirate Roberts was really Westley?

I like the Beach Blanket Bingo in red with white polka dots, and the Royal Plaid one-piece.

I don't know if those big bottoms flatter me. But the other style, the one piece like the Royal Plaid does.

Suzi, I will look up screen caps of that.

I have to say, Suzi, CJ is amazingly heroic. Sorry for the stress, and how amazing you are to have such faith in him.

Tom, Sorry Deetjen's didn't work out but I'd love your opinion on Big Sur Inn.

ita, I love that coat!

msbelle, happy first day being done! I hope the rest of your sundays this school year are tantrum free.

We are now home, thank god. I have to go pick up mail and I'm worried about Grace's class assignment and how it will work with nursing for her. So I have to hie myself to the post office to recover my mail.

I need to go to bed, though. Last night was INSANE; the dog got sick in our hotel room (poor dehydrated noodle) and then Grace couldn't keep her sats up and we had no oxygen anyway. Not a good night.

We drove home relatively okay -- even with a brush fire in the cajon pass that closed down 15 (blessedly, not while we needed it). But a huge accident at our exit off the freeway (to our house) had the last 4 miles of our trip fucked up.

Thanks, Kat - from both CJ and me.

K-Bug just drove back from NM and she said on her way there and on her way back she ran into horrible construction zones just before she got to her destination. Getting slowed down when you are so close makes that time go 5x slower.

Yeah, it does. There's so much construction EVERYWHERE -- Recovery Funds at work!

Ok, I think this is crossing threads but I just realized that the stubbed toe never would have happened if I'd gotten up first thing and put shoes on! I did get dressed, though, and my sink is reasonably clean.

Anyway, yay for Maria check-ins, yay for home safe peoples.
