Skirting The Issue

No wonder I put it off for so long. Doing the florescent-lit pasty white skin, blubber belly, step-it-in wiggle jiggle dance into a not so Miracle Suit in front of a full-length mirror is too humiliating for anyone more than once in a decade. Recently, I even got invited to a girly, girly "does this make my butt look fat?" bathing suit shopping extravaganza. A witness in the dressing room! OMG. What was she thinking? I'm sure it was due to the pathetic stuck-in-the-80s turquoise blue flowered number I donned Sunday afternoon at a semi-public pool party that was just screaming "Please! Help Lisa now!" After throwing away all of the stretched out, faded, saggy suits one by one over the years, June hit and I was down to only one. One that shouldn't be let out of my own backyard. So today I sucked it all in and ventured out. Tempted to just get the pig roast luau-inspired ruffly floral moo-moo next to the rack of suits, never get in a pool again and call it a day, I forged ahead. After twenty attempts, the only one to make it out of the Spandex pile was one with a skirt. Yes, a skirt. That's how bad it is these days. To add to the humiliation, I think I'll stop coloring my hair to complete the whole grey-haired grandma in a skirted swim suit look.

Movie Madness - Moonrise Kingdom

Campy, quirky trip back in time to first love.

Sunday Stuff

Hilarious flick with the maybe we should move movie madness to Sunday crowd. 

Followed up with fun, twice in one weekend, family lunch at Blanco and never got to the Groove Merchants

because of all the debauchery in the pool

during the new, mark your calendars, Sunday Swim pool party. 

Almost drowned Leslie due to a floating babelicious wardrobe malfunction (something always seems to fall off with this crowd).

Celebrate!

Graduation/Birthday Two-fer at Tarbell's!

A good time was had by all

as Old Wildcat gathered the troops for some college congratulating,

toasting, saluting and singing.

Birthday Bash

Seasons 52 with the gals - WINNERS!!!

New Pinetop shoes

Then a still-thirsty stop at Roaring Fork on the way home.

Cum Laude!

Let's Applaud!

Cheesy

What's With Wisconsin??????

Movie Madness - Hysteria

Talk about a Happy Ending!! Hilarious romp with a perfect cast proving what I've always believed - the best medicine for all those cranky, cranky housewives out there is a nice guy and a little lovin'!

Pow Wow in the Pines

I'm a WINNER!!! After months of living in Loserville, tethered to the office, I high-tailed it to Jill's place up north for happy hour by the lake, feet up on the porch, games of Washers and Dominoes - where almost everything I touched turned into a winning play (much to the dismay of my fellow Northern Exposurettes), lunching and antique-ing in town, Lion's Denning with the Fancy, Fancy knee padded lovelies as the Fab Four turned a quick escape into a brand new brass-balled attitude.
