Funny....


When you get to *my* age, NOBODY will tell you that you can wear whatever you want and look good....

aw...

I'm sure your husband might think it at least, if not say it...

perhaps, but as a result of that i've decided that my hubby's opinion is no longer entirely valid as he obviously has no common sense when it comes to fashion.

I sometimes think I could go around in a black bin bag and Andy would think no less of me

but isn't that a good thing?

it must be so difficult for blokes...they think they have to say we lok gorgeous al the time no matter what we wear, but even if that is the case, we still want to know which outfit you *prefer*
we like your input. sometimes...
erm, i'll stop now i think...

good point it is hard to figure out...we want y'all to tell us we look wonderful no matter what, but we also want an honest opinion...then again if it's the wrong opinion...


I'm just nervous about the bathing suit...childbirth takes a heavy toll on an adolecent's body. Course I wouldn't be at a party with people who didn't know that...so I guess it's peachy

just remember, other people are gonna be worried about their own bodies more than yours, you are the biggest critic of your own body

childbirth takes a toll on *anyone's* body. trust me (and countless other mothers )

when i got married a few summers ago, we decided to have a very informal outdoor wedding at a farm that was owned by a family we knew. the property included an inground pool, a pool house, and a residence among other things. we had the dinner in the pool house right after the ceremony, followed by an afternoon of swimming and water gun fights, then the we had the cake, again in the pool house.

my son (5 at the time) got out of the pool for cake, but didn't want to get the pool house wet, so he removed his swimming trunks, unbeknownst to me. fortunately my father witnessed this and gave him a towel to wrap up in before he went inside. someone pointed out to me that my son wasn't wearing anything other than a towel, of course at the time i thought he still had his trunks on under the towel. imagine my surprise upon checking!

after the cake, some of us were going to do some more swimming, but my son had left his trunks on the pool deck. after cleaning up the cake i had to go retrieve them for him so he could put them back on. apparently i wasn't quite quick enough because after picking them up and turning to go back to the pool house, there was my son, stark naked, jumping up and down in front of the sliding glass door

someone in all this madness had the presence of mind to grab one of the disposable cameras sitting around and take a picture of our little streaker running through the pool house (fortunately his modesty - what little of it there was - was preserved by an appropriately placed folding chair).

so. there are certainly worse things than a post-baby body in a bathing suit.

the side effect of having a pool party for a wedding reception is that there is now plentiful photograpic evidence (video as well) of my post-baby body in a bathing suit. unfortunately it looks alot like my pre-baby body, only now i have something of an excuse.

how does your son feel about the incident now?

he's quite proud of it actually, every once in awhile he'll ask me if i remember the time when he wasn't wearing any pants and i thought he was

funny how the same boy can't remember what he did in school today...

he's going to be the class clown someday, i just know it.

just like me

Apparently when my brother was little he disrobed in the middle of Nottingham...

oh but who hasn't disrobed in the middle of Nottingham at some point or another

I haven't. Have you?

I never, in the 2 and a half years I was there, saw anyone disrobed, or in the process of being disrobed in the middle of Nottingham...

They must have all done it while you weren't watching then

Must've

Yez'll have to carry some of those glasses with the mirrors in to see next time so you can see behind you
