Sun Drunk and Random

I like, no LOVE, that one of the top Google search terms that brings people to my blog is some variation of "can chubby girls wear strapless dresses", which of course leads them to THIS post that I wrote in the very early days of MLAK, back when I had no idea about anything. Turns out, not much has changed. I didn't even credit the photo or bother to black out the poor girl's face. Meanie. 

Today's Mama featured my blog a few days ago; that made me feel sort of spesh. 

Last night I had what felt like a 30 min gallbladder attack. Luckily it didn't last long and I remember someone telling me that a gall bladder attack was worse than natural childbirth. Having experienced both I'd have to say that they were lying or possibly grossly misinformed. 

I made a new friend about a month ago. It is an understatement to say that she is awesome. You know when you have a connection with someone that makes you feel that Saturday's Warrior Circle of our Love sort of thing? Yeah, that's it, except a lot less corn-holey. 

Bless this day. We spent 2.5 hours at the pool with my preg-a-nent friend Shayla and her daughter. My kids only almost drowned themselves a couple of times and we came home tired and full of Vitamin D, with a new appreciation for terrible tattoos and bandeau tops. Speaking of swimsuits, I love my new striped swimsuit so much, and it's a one piece! Connie would be so proud. 

Lastly, enter yesterday's KSL Deals giveaway mmkeh? You don't have to use it for a family reunion photo because honestly, I don't ever want to remember those and I imagine you probably feel the same. Use it for your own family, or for yourself if you're feeling especially needy. 

Peace out, A-Town

First, It is hilarious that that is what brings people to your blog. Second, your swimsuit is so very cute! Thirdly, I love that you said corn-holey. Fourth, thanks for a super fun summer day at the pool.

Your gall bladder attack was only 30 minutes? Amateur. And I will second that it is as close to natural childbirth as a man will get - because when the attack lasts for HOURS, and the pains don't even come in contractions that go away, it is horrendous. Segue into nausea and other bodily upheaval that shall remain nameless, I would still go back and have all my babies natural before I would take on my gallbladder again. So thankful I had that sucker excavated.

why do we even need gall bladders anyway?! Such a worthless body part, like the appendix, spleen, and pubic hair.
