I have zero worries about being super white in a swimming costume. I don't tan, I just burn. Wednesday Adams is my style icon so I don't mind at all!
I do wear a high necked cozzie. I just hate having cleavage when I'm trying to exercise in public. I don't tend to show cleavage very often, why would I want to in the pool?
Don't think I've ever worn a bikini in my life. I've just never wanted to. Now I have a crepe paper belly I can't see that changing. At least I don't miss it.
This! I would go for a Victorian swimsuit if I could. I did use to wear surf shorts when I was younger. It meant I didn't have to shave.

I still try and find suits with the mini shorts. I have a round backside and everything creeps into the wrong place.0 -

He's a really nice guy and a terrific chiropractor, but I won't be taking diet advice from him anytime soon.
Mine is like that too. Great at adjustments and all, but don't try and sell me the latest diet you are advertising.
Or essential oils, or...
I've always wondered why it's called essential oils. How have I made it this far through life without something essential!?
The linguist in me is assuming it refers to 'essence' but I like to be facetious.
I never thought about it! Maybe because they want you to think they are essential?0 -

My grandmother, born in 1894 & living in 3rd world Southern Appalachia, considered the plants they come from essential for healing. She was especially fond of chamomile, sage, ginger, peppermint and a plant called blood root. And jewel fern for poison ivy/oak/sumac.
She raised 14 kids in a house without electricity, with spring water,so and no money for doctors. All but two made it to adulthood, two of the adults are buried at Normandy. She knew her natural medicine. I would still rather eat the spices, but the oils have their value, I think and I would pay good money for a blood root plant. It's a natural clotting agent.4 -
I confess that I totally dropped the ball on eating well and logging yesterday and that I absolutely don't care. I just needed a break from thinking about it yesterday. I also chose to out off running in favor of a nap. Running will happen today.4

Well, there you go! Essential oils because they are essential.

I have a sponsor for my powerlifting comp! That makes me legit, right?!? The gym I train at is sponsoring me. It basically means I got a t-shirt and my entry fee covered, but still! 9

She had 6 when her first husband died in a coal mine. My grandfather's first wife died in childbirth having #5. They got married and had 3 together. By the time my mom was born in 1936, the three oldest were out of the house, but living nearby.
Oh, and I just realized that I typo'd Mammaw's birth year. It was 1897, not 1894.0 -

On that point I'm kinda scared about that because we have twins that run in the family. I will be praying to every God in every religion that THAT doesn't happen. Not that I have a figure to ruin, but just, ouch.0 -

I have four and actual parenting is harder than natural childbirth. I am constantly amazed that they raised 12 kids to adulthood and only one turned out to be a useless idiot. (My dad threw her out of my mom's funeral.)1 -
I worked las night and can honestly say that I had put the miles in and was ready to curl up in bed.
But I knew, really knew, that my sleep and body would be better if I hesitated long enough to do yoga. I must say that yoga did hit the mark.
After yoga, instead of going straight home I ran into the locker room.
I was surprised by 20 6-7 year girls, laughing, dancing, skipping and squealing in delight, in various levels of dis-dress. The teacher looked apologetic for the chaos. I smiled and told her it was good to give them a positive relationship with the gym.
As I traveled home I thought about the sheer joy of movement, and the lack of shame that I just witnessed. It made me happy.
I hope you all have a great day while I sleep.

I bought my husband a Man Crate for Valentine's Day. I had them gift wrap it in a duct tape cocoon. He's going to love and hate it. 5

They were kickass back in the day. My grandma was a tiny little woman who had 13 children and lived to 100. She was born in 1909 and didn't get to vote until after ww2. Always makes me appreciate what I have.4 -

I wouldn't worry too much from a body pov. A friend of mine had twins who weighed the same as my single baby (and they weren't preemies)! I'm sure it's very hard work, but she looks fabulous. Lucky genetics maybe, some people bounce back and some not so much.0 -
I had 3000 calories on Saturday....Included pizza, ice cream, cider, whiskey..... And only the 6th day back on the wagon too.

It is true that the older generation were so very strong and remarkable. I look at awe at them.
Life and expectations have changed so much stance their day. Children got up and worked with less time for school and play. They often married far earlier than now days and accepted the responsibilities of starting a household.
There was a much stronger nuclear family support.

We don't either. I suppose I am a party property, but Saint Valentine was martyred for pity's sake. Why am I supposed to get gifts for that?1 -
We don't do Valentines either.
We do however have two Valentines cards on the mantelpiece. One is from the one year old, handmade no less (it's a work of art and not at all a bit CSI), and one is from the dog's trust dog I sponsor who I think is probably an imaginary dog but it's a good charity so I'll keep sponsoring him. 2 cards is the best we've ever managed so we're pretending that's us sorted.3 -
Valentine's is hit or miss for us. This year he's taking me to get my hair did and then we're going here http://www.movietavern.com/locations/syracuse/ to have dinner while we watch La La Land in giant comfy recliners. *squee*4
