Romeo . . . and Juliet,
I should have given you the vote count for my Battle of the Bands (see HERE and HERE).
Including my vote, it was nineteen for The Muppets, and twelve for Wayne and Garth. When I wrote the post, I thought, Everyone will vote for the Muppets. They are sooooo cute. I felt happy that Wayne and Garth received their share of votes.
Party on, Wayne. Party on, Garth. Party on, MUPPETS!
I want to start swimming again. Our thunderstorms usually don't arrive until late afternoon, so I can swim after lunch, AND I AM NOT WAITING AN HOUR AFTER LUNCH BEFORE I SWIM, MOTHER. We didn't need to do that. We still don't need to do it.
I ordered a swimsuit today because, although the one I had last year was soft and nice, it didn't exactly fit properly. My right boob popped out of the tankini all the time. Not cool.
So I ordered a one-piece suit. I am a bit worried. I bet you think I'm afraid my left boob will pop out, but that's not it.
I'm afraid I'll have droopy boobs because the suit doesn't have underwire, not does it have a shelf bra. I want to be comfortable, but I don't want boobs down to my knees.
Infinities of love,
Janie Junebug
My motto as an editor: Authors are the authority on their work. I'm a full-service editor. For a reasonable fee, I'm your writing coach from the first suggested revision to the correction of the final typo.
I'm glad Wayne and Garth had a good showing, too.
ReplyDeleteI haven't owned a bathing suit since I was in my 30s so I am clueless about them.
Hope you have a really good week. :)
Good morning, dear Janie!
ReplyDeleteFor me it was the opposite. I assumed that the majority would vote for Wayne and Garth.

We are such schwingers.
DeleteDoesn't Michael Phelps train by wearing a bra stuffed with five dozen bean bags without underwire support? That and a 15,000+ calorie diet makes an Olympic champion.
ReplyDeleteSomewhere along the line, society turned against Michael Myers. We all just looked at him and said, "nah, that's enough out of you." It was somewhere around Austin Powers 3, Shrek 3 and the Love Guru. Even when the Muppets did us wrong, like Muppets From Space, they're still Muppets and they're still awesome. Who could stay mad at a Muppet...except those with Pupaphobia, I guess?
I thought Michael Phelps trained by smoking weed. Mike Myers was pretty much done with Powers 3. What has he done lately?
DeleteHaha! I've got to order a suit myself today as my old one is dissolving. I thought I was doing a good thing by keeping it out of the washing machine and hand-washing each time, but I guess that method doesn't get rid of all the chlorine. Oh well.
ReplyDeleteI hand wash my suits with a little Cheer detergent. I've never had a suit dissolve, but Willy Dunne Wooters might wish it would.
DeleteMy sister takes pool exercises twice a week. It's restored her back. She's a large woman and going for therapy the first time was a mental challenge. Now she has names and stories for all the other people in the pool. The best is the tea bags, the people who just float about in the warm water.
ReplyDeleteTea bags made me snort with laughter.
DeleteMay your boobs be ever perky.
ReplyDeleteIt is too late for that, darlin'.
DeleteWell, I guess the only alternative might be a boob job, Janie....glad you are back and hope you are feeling chipper again.
ReplyDeleteI don't think insurance covers boob jobs, and I don't want to have unnecessary surgery. I appreciate your suggestion, though.
DeleteYou could wear a sports bra under the suit. I'm assuming you bought black . . . Sports bras come in black.
ReplyDeleteI also had a wardrobe malfunction, but it involved a zipper.
I didn't buy black, okay? It's kind of a peachy coral. I didn't have a sports bra. The new suit is black. I now have a sports bra, but it's black with all kind of shiny, fancy add-ons.
DeleteI think it would still work.
DeleteI think the sports bra will work. It will look as if I've fancied up the plain black swim suit, and my boobs will be firmly in place.
DeleteI forgot to say that you are a genius.
DeleteYou have my support...but that might not be enough (smirk).
ReplyDeleteBoth hands could do it, but you might drown.
DeleteHey, it's still better than testicles in your swim fins.
ReplyDeletePenwusser, go home. You've been at the bar too long.
DeleteWhen I was about 3 I was taking a bath with my grandmother, whom I adored. I told her "When I get older, I want to have boobies that go down to my knees, like you, Bubby."
ReplyDeleteAll I can say is BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU WISH FOR!!
I never wished for that. Why did it happen?
DeleteI have boobs down to my knees and I'm a dude :) Have fun swimming again. Look forward to the photos!
ReplyDeleteGary
No photos.
DeleteWhere did you get your swimsuit? We're going on vacation at the beginning of July and I need one!
ReplyDeleteI don't remember where I got the old one. Macy's has swim suits on sale. I like White House Black Market.
DeleteOh I hear ya. Droopy boob and the one I hate are my thighs see no light.
ReplyDeleteMy thighs are strange. They aren't very big.
DeleteNot swimsuit weather here, today it is cold and wet and not nice at all outside
ReplyDeleteYou're heading into winter, aren't you?
Deletehahahahahahahaha... I understand the swimsuit problem.
ReplyDeleteOur monsoons are coming but the last two years they are so strange.
The storms should build up and rain in the afternoon.
So you could time when to go in the pool. Now it is anyone's guess.
I don't really "swim" in the pool, I walk and do my exercises !
Best for me.
Glad your feeling better !
cheers, parsnip
I'm not much of a swimmer. I'm a floater, and I've devised a variety of exercises.
DeleteI no can do swimsuit without shelf bra! Talk about spilling out...lol
ReplyDeleteBut you are Bouncin' Barb! You're supposed to spill out.
DeleteI'll be honest, I'm surprised the Muppet's won. But glad Wayne's World got the number of votes that they did. As for eating after swimming, I think Jim Gaffigan said it best. "I'm always eating. So technically, I should never go swimming."
ReplyDeleteI like the different vibes of the two videos. I haven't eaten since about 6 p.m. yesterday. It's 3 a.m. I think I can go swimming, except it's dark and the pool is closed.
