What was I going to tell you?

I had a post in my head the other day, but I didn't have time to write it. So now it's all fuzzy. And I am fuzzy too because I have once again hit my mid-week lack of sleep slump. The cycle seems to be, sleep well for a few nights and feel great. Sleep poorly for a few nights and totally bottom out by Friday. Rinse. Wash. Repeat.

So, yeah, fuzzy.

I just spent way too long babbling about shopping at Target because there aren't many shops in Santa Fe that suit me and blah blah blah, all because I wanted to show you the new swimsuit I got at Target the other day. But noooooo, it's not on their website so I can't show you at all. (And so I cut out all the babbling.) It's a one piece with a halter-style top and a little skirt. Super cute. A vast improvement over the bikini top + dad's swimming trunks from the 1960's that are too big on me combo. Let's face it, no one *really* wants to see my white belly.

I'm excited about the find because I've been looking for a decent swimsuit for the past five years, if not longer. Swimsuits and me, we just do not go well together. So to actually find one that looks good on me and cost less than 40 bucks is the best thing ever. Not that I even need a swimsuit all that often, but it's nice to have one when needed. AND we're actually going on TWO vacations this year that will require a swimsuit. That's where the excitement really stems from...VACATION.

I've been itching to take a road trip because I just love driving out west. And I want to take photos. Lots and lots of photos. So we finally decided on a plan. We're going to spend a few days in 29 Palms and do a little exploring at Joshua Tree National Park. Then we're going to head to California and visit my favorite aunt and uncle in San Diego (who I haven't seen in well over a decade). I can't wait!!

Second vacation will be to hang out with Will's family at the beach. A beach. In North Carolina or South Carolina. I don't think that's been decided yet. I don't care. Tell me which beach house to show up at and I'll be there. Swimsuit in tow.

So there you go. That's some of what I was going to tell you. I've been writing this at work and thus had to get up about a million and one times so please excuse any lack of coherency. Keep losing my train of thought.

Here's hoping for a good night's rest! (A "good" night for me is staying asleep past 3:00 AM.)
