saturday

One of the happiest places on Earth IS NOT Disneyland. Hell no.

It's our pool, on a Saturday afternoon with some good snacks, cold drinks and old friends.

Oh, and dressing Birdie in one of her ten, count them, ten, swimming suits is all part of the fun.

So many people gave her pool attire that honestly, she is the bathing beauty fashionista of Carlsbad.

Splash. Blop. Blop. Blop.

swim caps make everything better

Lord have mercy, it's swimsuit season again and this year I'm sporting an extra ten pounds. It's not that I don't want to work out. I try to exercise five days a week. The thing is, I like to eat. A lot. I hear people say nothing tastes as good as skinny feels. Well they obviously haven't tried cardamom-infused dark chocolate truffles. And that's just for starters.

I guess I just need to take my button-poppin', muffin toppin', pot-bellied body to the gym for an extra hour.
