Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

I AM buying a suit this year. The one I have is a cast-off of a friend's and it's 5 years old and no support. I think I am going to buy a two piece tankini from Newport News; I am never doing to have a non-underwire suit again.

I'm thinking this [link] in black. I've never spent more than $30 on a suit, but considering I go to the pool with M a LOT more in the last 2 summers, and a suit lasts me at least 5 years, I think I am ok with it.

Whereas I swim everyday, and have, um... 3 suits. All boring like the one linked. 2 retired, but kept just in case of primary suit failure. Or, you know, lost luggage.

If you want something that will last for-freaking-ever, go with the polyester suits. But matters less if you aren't frying it in chlorine on a weekly basis. Mine last about 6-7 months before things start sliding around.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

My absolute favorite swimsuit is this top [link] with these bottoms [link] It's one of the very few bathing suits I've found that doesn't get uncomfortable after a few hours.

Yay, Perkins!!

Hil, ugh, I wish you hadn't posted that site. Because I didn't love how full-cut the bottom was on the suit I linked, and I really love this top [link] with this bottom. [link]

Maybe I could get a cute printed pricier top, and a pair of cheaper black bottoms? I'm really only worried about the boobs anyway.

WooHoo!

(I sorta obsessed with my swimming. I apologize for inflicting it on y'all. I always realize I'm getting craxy after the fact.)

Yeah, sarameg, cause NO ONE ever obsesses about their own thangs on here!

I think it's great; I'm in awe of how consistent you are. Get wet with yer bad self!

Um.

Um. Heh.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

Thing 1 - K-Bug is at the A's game. I am insanely jealous. I'm watching the game, hoping for a glimpse of her behind the bullpen.

Thing 2 - CJ is applying to be a part of the Arapahoe Rescue Patrol. It is a group of high school kids who are trained in search and rescue. Takes a lot of training and a lot of responsibility. He sees it as a first step toward his desired fire fighting career.

Thing 3 - KCD. I just don't know how I stayed married to him for so long. For a while it looked like all 4 kids were going to go to Vegas for the wedding - CJ driving with B's kids and K-Bug flying out. But he just called and said they are second thinking having any of the kids go. They will just have a big reception after K-Bug moves out here so all the kids can be a part of that. My guess as to why they changed their minds - the minors would cramp their fun. Whatever.

Thing 4 - I get my daughter tomorrow!!!
