Melh.  I hit a NEW LOW!  Don’t get ready to congrats me – that really means the opposite – I’m gaining weight like a eatin’ fool.

Yesterday, my parents (hurray for moving back to the states!) took both my children for the day which meant that hubman and I got a rare day together to hang out!  We decided to drive out of town, not far, to another really great little city and walk their downtown which is so lovely and it was a gorgeous, sunny day as well.

Before doing our walk, we were both hungry and leaving lunch too late, so we popped into a cute pub and got lunch.  Um.  Yum.  Oh yeah… yum.

Afterwards, we got our dog and started walking around and enjoying the area and the weather.

Ahem.  I know what’s the new IN thing for summer.  You wanna know?

BOOTY SHORTS.  DAISY DUKES.  It wasn’t THAT warm out, but every other girl walking around had the shortest of short denims on, with sweaters and boots even… but no matter what – booty shorts everywhere!

I felt really bummed.  Not because I want to wear daisy dukes, but it reminded me that my beloved favorite season – SUMMER – is around the corner, but I’m existing in this warm Spring day in jeans and a hoodie… and unless I take action, the PROMISE I made myself last summer – that I woudln’t spend another summer completely covered up in the HEAT – that promise will be trashed.  Do I have no respect for myself and no trust in my own word?  I told myself it wouldn’t be the same this summer – and it will be exactly the same if not worse unless I make changes TODAY.
