Sooo beautiful. We loved taking the ferry over and then biking around.

Because I have red hair and am very pale, I used to hide behind my long sarong. Just this year I have started to embrace my paleness! Sometimes I don't even do my self-tanner!

I couldn't run at all ysterday, so sucky. I need to make a 9:30 bedtime rule on nights before running.<BR/><BR/>I'm wearing my bathing suit regardless. I'm of the thought that if you're wearing a t-shirt you're yelling really loud to people that you're insecure and are hiding your body. I'd rather just seem clueless that my body isn't beautiful.

I wish I would have gone the first route, but I am also pleased that my body is finally responding to the year+ of running I have been doing. That made me want to start eating better foods, which made me want to put healthy things in my head as well. <BR/><BR/>Now I'm rambling, but I decided that I would celebrate by wearing a bikini this year. Problem is that all the ones I have are wild and neon. Guess you can tell the last time I wore any of those! Your post actually made me excited for the prospect of finding a new suit! <BR/><BR/>I know both of you will be rocking some hot suits and playing without a care this summer!

Yay! While that is not nearly enough for the outside, inside I feel more confident. I am going to treat myself to some new shorts for hiking. I really want some cargo style with pockets everywhere. <BR/><BR/>I've been saying, 'to heck with it' for a few years now. It is too hot here in Alabama to NOT get into the pool. I found a great suit at LL Bean.
