Tan lines in March? Get outta here!

Yes, it's true. Yesterday while taking Layla to the park, I got tan lines! This is crazyness for march!! But I love it! Sadly, I think our warm streak is going to actually go back to spring weather. The weather this weekend is going back into the 60s. Boo. I knew we were going to get spoiled and then it would go back to normal spring weather. Which is still better than snow and 30s.  It's better to be thankful for this jolt of summer, getting us out of winter mind funk than nothing! It just gets me more excited for our honeymoon cruise in a few months. Speaking of that, I found some suits online for sale through victoria's secret and jumped on that!

Victoria's Secret: Top- $24 Bottoms- $18

It is much cuter in person and has a lot of rhinestones! If you go to the site- Swimsuit #1, you can zoom in to see it better. I liked it besides the sale, because when you are tan those colors accent awesome! And it's tropically with all the little palm trees on it, and of course rhinestones=happy Lyndsey! Maybe I should take a picture like her when I get to the beach? Ya I don't think so!

Second suit from same place

Victoria's Secret: Top- $20 Bottom- $19

Well I love this suit because 1. white and pink are 2 of my fav colors 2. It's sparkly! 3. It comes in 2 other colors, blue & teal as well. Get it here-Swimsuit #2. It is really cute in person as well!

The website has a LOT of good stuff on sale! I wanted to buy a ton of suits, but only 2 was alotted by the hubs on sale. I also have a blue one I purchased from Target a few weeks ago. It's this incase you forgot-

It has little beads in the flowers. You can purchase here-Swimsuit #3. I still have to try on my suits from VS, but they are the same style I go for, so I think they will fit fine. I find for my body style, aka no boobs, triangle tops work best to help make it look like I have something. They have to be ties, none of the bra top styles. Bandeau tops are a joke on me, they don't stay up! And for bottoms I always have to have a large because mediums do not cover everything! And the string tie sides work best because it doesn't squish and shove all the fat everywhere! I can tie it as tight or loose as I want so it doesn't squish anything. 

There are a lot of suits I would love and wish to wear, but I am learning with my body type to accept what I can and can not wear. And that even if it's minimal padding, to accept this is my size and it's natural. Contrary to belief, men are drawn to a natural woman over implants. No dis to any who have them, if I could afford them, I probably would have them too. But alas I can not and I need to be happy with what I have. My husband is happy with them and he should be the only one who matters. Body image is always a tough struggle, but God made us to be a certain way and if he can love me like this, then I need to learn to love me too. No matter how big or small I am! At least I don't have problems not fitting in to tops because they are too large! I am thankful for that!

Enjoy your tuesday!

Windy Saturday

It's 8 on a Saturday night, and I just got up from a nap! Haha, yes I know this was a bad idea. But I am still sitting here trying to keep my eyes open. I could honestly go to bed right now, but that would mean I would have gone to bed at 5:30 pm. I am not 89, I refuse to allow myself to this! But apparently my body was exhausted, and I was not going to say no to that!

So last night we had a crazy windy night. I don't know if it was a wind storm. But it was nuts! I was gripping the wheel on my Suv on the highway at 65. It was at least 35 mph winds. I wish I could have gotten a picture of this, but we saw blue lightning! Yes, blue! I have never seen anything like it in my life. It wasn't lightning bolt lightning, but light up the entire sky lightning. So imaging the whole sky lighting up blue. I t was awesome!! But sadly, I was driving so I couldn't get a picture. I tried to find one online, but there was nothing similar to what we saw! Our power ended up going out about 5x in the middle of the night. (Hence why I needed a nap!)

And at about 3, I got woken up by this weird noise and our room lit up like a light bulb. This is with black out shades on our window. I thought maybe I dreamt it, so I laid there and it happened again and I woke Antonio up. The noise was SO loud and sounded like an elecrtic chair or something. Antonio's first thoughts-a giant robot is walking down the street. Yes, hunny I am sure that is what is happening! My first thought-rapture, we are going to die! Then we looked out the window and saw a giant spark on the phone lines, accompanied by that obnoxiously loud noise. I honestly don't know how anyone could have slept through it. And then all the power went out. Even the neighborhood across the street went out and the street lights. Talk about eery, and creepy. It felt like a scene from a movie! We tried figuring out why it was doing that. Maybe a tree fell on it? No. Was the wind blowing something on it and frying it? No. A power line had snapped and was dangling down and when the wind would die down it would end up dropping and right beneath was a pond. So the line would hit the water and make that noise! This went on every 10-30 min for hours. Until the power company finally turned it off. Luckily we had power though! But man, we were terrified, might have been one of the scariest moments until we knew what it was that I have ever been through!

The wind and cold continued through the day! I guess winter isn't ready to give up without a fight! I got up and met up with my friend Lauren for coffee at starbucks to chat for a little about an hour. And then I met up with my friend Jen and we went on the hunt for swimsuits. As most of you know, this is my favoriteeee thing. NOT. After going to target, and searching every store in the mall, we both only found 1 suit. Tragic, I know. She found hers at Forever 21, and I found mine at Target. This is the one I got. Hard to see but there are little white beads in the flowers.

So after we raided the mall, which is always full of interesting clothes, and people, and of course it's packed because of the weather and free pretzel day at Annie's, we came back to my apt and parted ways. I then proceeded to fall face first into my pillow and pass out in about 2 minutes. And now I am writing this, and the hubs will be home in a few minutes.

His friend is coming over, and we are headed to Walmart to find a board/card game or some sorts to play for the evening. Accompanied by some wine and snacks! Woo, I like the snacks part! I just wish I wasn't still half asleep. This may be interesting to try to play a game with half my brain working! Oh well, just blame it on the wine! :)

Hope you had a wonderful Saturday!

-Did you get hit by the storm?
-Did you do anything fun today?
