Swimsuits. argh.

I knew my girls needed new swim suits this year. Their old ones were just too tiny, and plumb worn out. So I started looking. I hit my staple store, the local Super Walmart, and look around. they had about 10,000 two piece suits and maybe 15 one piece suits. So I start digging. I am not going to buy my 6 year old and 8 year old two piece suits, partly, cause I refuse to allow my 6 and 8 year old children to dress like they are 20!

I did finally manage to find two one piece suits, in the right sizes, that didn’t have legs cut to the armpits. They are kinda plain, no cartoon characters, no really wild colors, but they are still cute, and seem sturdy enough to last at least the summer.

I got it, I got it.

Blood Noir that is, the lastest book by Laurell K. Hamilton. I started reading it last night, and I finished this afternoon. I really enjoyed it, we got a totally different, and far more in-depth look at Jason and the relationship between Jason, Anita and Nathanial. Not nearly enough Nathanial in the book to suit me, but I always lust after him. I have just been totally engrossed in this book, I really enjoyed it.

I also worked on a couple more dishcloths while I read. And ran errands for hubby to get ready for his Annual training. And got kids ready to go to school and out for the day there.

I am hot and tired. i think I will just dig up a movie and sit in front of the tv and knit on my shawl.
