OK, I get it. Life if not fair. No one said it was, and I truly believe this. But when looking for a swim suit, could it at least not be so unfair?
Yes, I went swim suit shopping tonight and it was miserable. Now I have a ‘town’ swimming suit that I got earlier this year. I call it a town swim suit because I don’t think you should wear it into the local rivers or lakes. Why? I’m not really sure. It might have something to do that I bought it full price and I guess I think I should keep it for only inside swimming or something. I can’t ever remember paying full price for a swimming suit, so this suit is something that I don’t want to wreck. So because I’m heading out next week to go with the girls ‘fishing’ up north, I needed a swim suit for the lake. Now granted we’re the only ones on this lake, but I still needed something to wear. So off I went to town after work. I thought to myself, really how hard could this be? After I was standing in front of the first swim suit stand in the store and was trying to figure out where in the heck the suits were – I realized that it was August after all and maybe this isn’t going to be so easy. Well, I putzed around and started to do some other errands and just kept my eyes open for swim suits in the stores. Finally in a store I found a couple of racks of suits. Cool right? It turned out that the store was just trying to get rid of them and they were not sized on the racks. OK, no problem and they were 65% off. So I pulled out a couple that I thought really looked kind of cute and should fit. Wrong! I put them back almost as fast as I took them off the rack and realized that I needed to double the size if I wanted anything that might remotely cover what I needed to cover up. So after trying on almost all the suits that they had, out of desperation I bought two.
One was a two piece and one was a one piece. I mean after 4 hours of being in town, enough was enough. I tried them on for Daryl and he said that they both looked really good and then he smiled. We didn’t get to be married for 30 years without learning some life skills now did we?
