Great to see you again!! Y'all don't forget to fan me on Facebook, and subscribe to my Examiner articles!

My stomach is in knots, my heart is racing, and I feel a headache coming on. Why, you ask?

We are taking the kids swimming tomorrow, and today is the day I shop for a swimsuit so that we may all swim together.

Other people will see me in this. They will see my jiggles and wiggles and florescent skin. Yes, I said florescent. I am that pale.

Never mind the fact that I have lost over 25 lbs since February, when I started Weight Watchers. Never mind that I have gotten more energy, stronger, and feel better in my clothes. I still have a bathing suit complex. Maybe all women do, regardless of their size?

Please tell me the Sports Illustrated models have complexes about their photo shoots, too. Though I wouldn’t really feel sorry for them, it would make me feel a lot better about my mental state surrounding this shopping trip.

And after shopping, maybe I’ll try to find a sno-cone place…nothing like sugary sweet icy goodness to make a girl feel better about a dramatic shopping expedition.

I will post pictures of the suit I find later today. Most likely of just the suit, I will spare you all the picture of the suit actually ON me.

I promised I would post pictures of the suit.  Well, here is the color and pattern of my suit, but it is not exactly the same!  This one is cute, too, although I like the fact that the one I picked fully covers the hips, with a ruffled bottom to boot!  I just think it is so sweet and vintage.

Maybe one day I’ll be brave enough to show you a picture of ME in MY suit!

What do your bathing suits look like this year?
