Today I read a headline that said June was the warmest on record globally. I hardly have any recollection of June, but I might argue that July seems to be headed for the same record.
Thank heavens I'm not in Vegas. Because I'm a sweaty mess as it is.
Does that gross you out? It should. It grosses me out.
Today I went to church sporting a pony tail. I never do that. Seriously. Never. But I didn't even care, because—as previously mentioned—I'm a sweaty mess.
I was told that post-pregnancy my hair would fall out in concourses. I'm still waiting. I was actually looking forward to shedding my winter coat. Still waiting.
I basically cart three things around these days: Clara, extra heat-magnifying "jigglies" (aka body mass aka fat) and my trusty Aloha Breeze fan, which is promptly set two feet from my face wherever I go. (Side note—after a series of unfortunate events which I'll not bother to go into, the remote control found itself in a mug of water and no longer works. Now I actually have to get up to adjust fan settings. Criminitly.)
If I did live in Vegas this summer, I'm pretty sure by now I would have relocated my home to a nice piece of real estate at the bottom of a pool.
Ah—how nice does swimming sound? Of course, there's the ever-present problem that swimming generally requires a swimming suit along with it. May I just take a moment to tell you how badly I'd like a new swimming suit? (Drooling over this one and this one). And may I take a moment longer to lament, mope and whine?
Thanks.
Swimming suit shopping on a good day is depressing. But swimming suit shopping when you've just had a baby? Yikes. (Okay sure—it's almost been three months. But for my self-pitying purposes we'll just pretend it happened last week.)
In August we'll be taking Clara on her first road trip to California. Beach time, baby. Thus? It's high time I start setting some work out goals and sending out a tracking device to hone in on the exact location of my missing motivation.
Anyone willing to give me $300? See, cause the last time I shed a gaggle of lb's, I got 300 buck-a-roos out of it. Funny story actually. Oh, I won't bore you.
No takers?
Well this time around I'm toying with the idea of 20-Second Fitness. If anything, because my sister, brother-in-law and cute little nephews (the handsome little fellas in the baseball caps on the monkey bars and eating the donuts) are in the cheesy, long and highly-repetitive infomercial! They're totally famous! And they're totally thin! Seems like a good enough incentive to me.
Because even with all this sweatin' I've been doing—it's not cutting it.

It's cold here in Seattle. It definitely hasn't been summer here much yet. Also, my hair started falling out like crazy at around 4 months. It gets quite annoying so just beware!
I feel ya sista! I love summer and love swimming, but finding a swimming suit for my post-baby body... not happening this summer. Oh goodness. Good luck! I hope you find a fantastic suit for your trip.
I never go outside in the summer! Unless I have too! I hate how hot it is! I would think you'd be used to it though! You two are adorable. Are you up for that play-date we talked about?
You're so good to never wear your hair in a ponytail at church. I think my hair is in a ponytail 90% of the time. Those are really cute suits. I wasn't aware that Shade made swimsuits. Want to know something gross? I'm going to tell you anyway. I was reading the post below about nursing and it made my milk come down :) We miss you guys!
First of all -- you always are -- always have been -- and always will be a beauty to me -- SWEAT and all. And FYI - -if you think you are sweaty now...come to OH for the hottest June on record. And then, just for kicks -- sit at a baseball game for 3 hours with no shade. Sniff. Sniff. No -- no crying...that would be me that you can smell. Ok, ok -- TMI for your blog. I should just post it on my own. Can't wait till we're all sweating together -- on the beach and in Vegas...only a few more weeks!
Pull out that spritzer, girl! I'd take it to church! Clara is looking so very big girl. What do you think the death rate is for that 20 second workout/torture for folks over 50??? $300? I wanna read THAT post.
'Tis the season.......119 here in Vegas. I'll bet you can't wait to come here in a couple more weeks!
fat?? uh, no. you look great! clara on the other hand is looking a little chubby -- guess the feeding is going better, hooray!
and i was just wondering about the alleged hair falling out the other day! i havent lost anything yet until today, but maybe that was b/c i hadnt washed my hair in 4 days. haha. i'll let you know if i begin a full shedding.
Thanks for the kind words, everyone.
Tracy—THAT is funny. ...But seriously...can you teach me to do that too? :)
Mad Hadder—maybe I'll blog about my $300 dollar lose-weight extravaganza. It was, after all, one of the most pivotal moments of my life.
