    Normally I don't buy bikinis. I have tank tops and boy shorts that I wear plus a black one piece. This time though I was feeling a bit daring. My husband was kinda edging me on to try something different. He's very excited about my new purchase. ;)

    I used to always wear bikinis or two piece suits! The biggest thing I hate about the one piece suits are that you don't get nearly as tan so I end up with super white boobs and belly. :(

    i used to have this awesome black bikini that had really brightly colored flowers on it. it was shaped jus tlike that one peanuts posted. those were the days. i gave it to my mother in law whose about 4'11" and 100 lbs. jeez, was i ever that thin? i don't believe it. though, i must confess, the few pictures i have from that era, i look like karen carpenter 3 days after death, so i guess it wasn't all THAT great. but shopping was a lot more fun.

    i'm pretty naturally dark. i get the barest whiff of sunlight and i go all tan and shit. i put on spf 45 every hour or so, and i still get really dark. makes all the true caspers around here froth at the mouth in irritation.

    Well I was once extremely anorexic. What happened, right? ;) I was so dang skinny that I used to wish myself plump at times. Stupid because I was starving myself at the same time. Didn't make a lick of sense really.

    I wish I were thinner than I am at the moment, then again, I always wish myself thinner no matter what weight I'm at. But all I really need to do is get my butt back on my power walking routine and I could shed these winter pounds. I just started again a couple of days ago, feels great really.

    I've always been quick to lose, quick to gain. Sucks, but it's in my favor when it comes to shedding the pounds.

    I don't use sunscreen like I should. I mean, I use it when I know I'll be exposed to the the sun long periods of time, but I really should use it more than I do.

    I put the twins in their double stroller, my oldest son hops on his bike, and off we go! Except, my secret weapon is that we power walk to the playground. ;) If we were just walking to walk, the kids would protest.

    We've got two local playrounds, not all that far from us. But it's about a mile to and a mile back. So I get in a 2 mile walk when I go.

    I have been trying to find a bathing suit... but can't find one that fits. Why? Well, i have an odd body to begin with, and being pregnant has sort of made the situation even worse.

    Why don't maternity stores let you mix and match tops and bottoms? I mean, seriously. There is a really cute brown halter style bikini with a bib front and "under the belly" bottoms, but I need a 2-3XL for a top (i now have double ee's) and a medium/small for the bottom (i haven't gain an gram of fat beyond my belly and my breasts)!! So, in the bottoms that are 2XL, i could fit 3 of my asses in!

    Pretty much the only place that lets pregnant women mix and match sizes is Walmart... but i don't want to go there. So, looks like I don't get a bathing suit this year.

    sure... if i wanted to spend $100. My husband says i should just switch the pieces i need onto one hanger and leave the other in the change room, but i can't do that.

    I just bought a new bikini today. It's halterneck and white with funky red patterns on it.. kinda looks like something I already have but I like red and white combo.

    I really like the one you're getting peanuts.
