This is going to be a mish-mash of things, mainly because I am feeling very lazy at the moment but I know that I need to put something on here, even if it is ridiculously boring to you.  That's how life is sometimes.  

So the reason I needed swim attire was because we were going camping and while on that camping trip we would be floating about in a canoe.  I had no desire to tip over and swim in my ever so lovely camping skirt.  (This thing is on it's last seam.)  What I wound up with was a pair of shorts and I wore a t-shirt for the top portion.  Not my swim gear of choice.  Some of you said you like to wear a two piece for the ease of a bathroom visit.  This would be easier but in the interest of being sure my body stays covered I'm willing to sacrifice the convenience. 

Wearing a two piece to me is asking for trouble.  I have yet to swim in a t-shirt that didn't either bubble up and float near my eyes, or once out of the water show off my Michelin Tire form.  I may not be attractive dry but I don't see any reason to flaunt it while wet.  

Others of you said you like to wear tankini's or a two piece bathing suit under your shorts and shirt.  I have to ask you why?  Why spend that kind of money on something only to cover it up with other clothing?  Then again, I'm not a fancy underwear kind of gal either, strictly white for me thank you.  

As for the camping trip it was wonderful!  One of the best weekends we have had in probably several years.  I did get in the canoe and paddle about, and we did not tip over, saving myself from embarrassement.  

I've mentioned before that my son Cheeko loves camping and he likes to pour over camping catalogs and help plan for the big weekends.  This is the first time we have ever stayed at a State Park camp and the camp host caught Cheeko's eye.  He was enamored with this man's position and once we were home he played camp host and declared he would like to be a camp host when he grows up.  If only it paid well.  

You can also read about our camping trip at Neeto's blog, Blue's blog and Tiki's blog after the poor boy can finally finagle the computer away from someone. 

Neeto has only one more year until she graduates.  This is amazing to me!  Where did the time go?  She has become very tired of being asked what she will do after she graduates.  She has no idea and finds it very irritating that really people only want to know which college she will be attending or if she will join the military or some other supposedly equally noble undertaking.  She has come up with a pretty good answer, you can read it HERE. 

This funny comes from Cheeko also.  He walked up to Neeto with his two hands together at the thumbs, index fingers, and pinkies. The two middle fingers on each hand were down.  He then told Neeto that this was sign language for, "Cool Dude," in Spanish.  Here I thought sign language was a universal language.
