Sometimes I’m posting every couple days. Sometimes every couple weeks! Oh, to be consistent.
Let’s see, what has been happening around here lately…I changed up my blog header (Dear RSS feed readers, have a look!). I acquired 2 lovely pieces of vintage rayon that I’m in the middle of de-stinking. I also mistakenly painted the breakfast nook a pale lime sherbet rather than the pale sage I intended.
If you’ve painted a room before, you know the paint looks lighter on the wall than on the chip. That’s what I kept telling myself as I painted in the afternoon Sunday. Then I woke up the next day to find a huge container of lime green sherbet had barfed all over my breakfast nook. As it turns out, the lady at the store mixed the wrong color (off by 1 digit). When I went back to get a replacement she told me I gave her 2 chips, remember? Yea, lady, I remember. I remember giving you 1 paint chip. (Why would I give someone 2 paint chips if I wanted 1 can of paint?) Never fear, I did get my paint – in the intended color – and now I just have to get motivated again.
New blog header, new wall color and new swimsuit! I guess I’m looking for change, maybe some spring weather. Gosh, the weather in L.A. is tricky in the winter. It may look warm and sunny outside but then you dash off to a meeting without the proper layers and you are freezing! (Ok, not really freezing. Freezing in SoCal is code for 58 degrees.)
Anyway, back the swimsuit, the reason for this post. (I’m rambling a bit, I know, it’s late!) I’ve been looking high and low for a one piece. I’ve always liked the “old lady” ones with the skirts (like the one my Grandma used to wear) but they never come in my size. I found the one pictured at Target. It’s not really a one piece: it’s a tankini that’s really long and ruched with a wee little ruffle at the hem. So you have to wear a bikini bottom with it. (I guess you don’t HAVE to, but I’d highly recommend it.) It comes with a removable strap too. It’s so cute and actually fits me!
