the full mooner.

I've been dying the past couple of weeks, waiting on a package from the States. I ordered two swimsuits online, a regular one that I can wear for a few more weeks and a maternity one that I can wear until the baby comes (the only way to deal with a year-round summer when you're pregnant.)

At last, it arrived and I couldn't be happier!

Not only did they fit (a legitimate worry when you shop online and live overseas), but I've been in dire need ever since I discovered I was mooning the pool patrons with my previous suit.

Let's just say that I discovered the hard way that relaxing in front of a jacuzzi-jet and enjoying a lower lumbar massage day after day, wreaks havoc on your 85% nylon, 15% lycra spandex swimsuit.

I'd noticed a few odd stares here and there, but I thought nothing of it. After all, it's common to see older men wearing speedos and young girls going topless at the pool. I mean, how odd could I look, really?

The answer is odd! Very odd.

I'm pretty sure I gave everyone a laugh as I chased my kids around the pool in my "one-piece in the front, thong in the back" swimsuit.

What can a say?

I aim to please.
