I don’t like bikinis

I am some years away from my girlish figure, but even when I was hawt to def like Beyonce, I never wore bikinis. I just didn’t like feeling nekkid in public. Even now in a bathing suit I feel too exposed.

But it seems I am one of a very few who is modest in this way as I am seeing some really, um, overly exposed folks on these beaches. And they ain’t got their girlish Beyonce figures no mo’ either.

Let’s institute this rule: if you have to hold your stomach in so that you can see your feet, you should not wear a bikini. Just move on past that rack and do your shopping on the bathing dress row.

Scoot, scoot, scootin’ along

I want a scooter. Mr. SingLikeSassy says “EXPLETIVE NO.” He, who rides a bike all over town, doesn’t think the Vespa is safe. I hope to convince him otherwise.

Man, life is good

Got here yesterday and immediately went to the pool with a book and a drink, while Mr. SingLikeSassy fired up the stove and cooked dinner. I’m feeling real chillaxed. Hope y’all are too.

Seven Deadly Sins

Went bloghopping and found this meme based on the seven deadly sins. If you do the meme, please leave a link in the comments so I’ll know to check your responses.

Anger
1. Who did you last get angry with? coworker
2. What is your weapon of choice? Sarcasm
3. Would you hit a member of the opposite sex? yes
4. How about of the same sex? yes
5. Who was the last person who got really angry at you? Not sure.
6. What is your pet peeve? people who have entitlement issues.
7. Do you keep grudges, or can you let them go easily? i don’t hold grudges, but I may deal with you differently once you’ve shown me who you are

Sloth
1. What is one thing you’re supposed to do daily that you haven’t done in a long time? wash dishes. thankfully Mr. SingLikeSassy has been all over that
2. What is the latest you’ve ever woken up? 2 pm
3. Who have you been meaning to contact, but haven’t? an old jr. high friend who has emailed me two or three times now
4. What is the last lame excuse you made? I have to watch “Lost”
5. Have you ever watched an infomercial all the way through (one of the long ones…)? Yes, the furniture direct one
6. How many times did you hit the snooze button on your alarm clock today? Zero. No alarm clock

Gluttony
1. What is your overpriced yuppie beverage of choice? A shaken green tea lemonade with two pumps instead of the six they usually put in it
2. Meat eaters are…: cool with me

3. Have you ever been made a proposition by a prostitute? Good lord no
4. Have you ever had to get tested for an STD or pregnancy? Yes, I’ve had pregnancy tests (hello, if you’ve read my blog you should know this) and STD tests. I think any sexually active adult nowadays who hasn’t had an HIV test — and doesn’t require the same of their partner — before getting intimate is crazy.

On the other hand

Reading this today reminded me that as a kid I wanted to be a lefty so badly that I tried to retrain myself to write with the left hand. Just another example of me trying to be “different” and change myself into someone else. (<–see the post before this one for more detail). But, I remain a righty. I am a bit ambidextrous, however.

How about you? Which hand do you use?

Way out of left field

I have never played a sport. I don’t like balls hurtling toward my face (yes, there is a dirty joke in there somewhere, haha you nasty creatures you). I don’t have a “team” and I don’t plan my holidays and weekends around game schedules. Mr. SingLikeSassy doesn’t either. If a game is on, he’ll watch, but mostly he doesn’t care. This is one of many reasons why I married him. 

So imagine my surprise when his monthly outing idea was for us to go to a Washington Nationals game. I know less than nothing about this sport. The only batter I know anything about is the stuff that creates cakes. 
BUT this is what he wants to do so I am dressed in what I guess is baseball game attire and ready to go. I have a book, my blackberry and my iPod Touch in my purse (do you take a purse to a baseball game?) and some money for a bag of peanuts. I’m actually thinking it will be fun, as I’ve been to a professional hockey game and a professional football game and both of those were really fun because of the crowds and chanting and whatnot. 
So, let’s geeeetttt reaaddddyyyyy toooo rummmmbllleeeee! Oh wait. Wrong sport.

Mr. SingLikeSassy has a hangover!

Apparently he drank more than I did while he was hanging out last night!

I could tell he was feeling “good” when he came in, though frankly I couldn’t really respond cause I was lying across the bed in all my clothes in a half-drunk sleep.

We chatted a bit this a.m. before he left to meet his pupil and I went to my biweekly hair appointment and everything seemed fine and dandy, but when I came home I found him in the bed grumbling.

Me? I feel just fine, the caipirinhas treated me reeeeeaaal nice, thank you very much. PLUS I met a guy and his wife in the restaurant last night who invited me and Mr. SingLikeSassy to a music-related event tomorrow afternoon.

Anyway, I’m trying to convince him to roll out with me and let some Sat nite likka override that lingering Fri nite likka. We’ll see.
