weekend fun

Jan 25, 2010

Because we've had so much stress in our lives lately, my family decided to get away for the weekend - just the 4 of us - and enjoy a hotel with a water park.

I've been to plenty of water parks in my life, from the cheesiest little hotel pool with a slide, to the Kalahari and Wilderness resorts in the Wisconsin Dells.  I've always been something of a fish, and never did let my bulk stop me from putting on a swimsuit and enjoying the water.

Now?  I'm more self-conscious than ever about my scrotum skin, so I wear swim shorts over my one-piece suit.  It's surprising how many women/girls do this, even those without any apparent issues to hide! 

But I DO enjoy myself!  The slides, the great big hot tubs, and especially, the Lazy Rivers!  Yup, if'n I ever win the lottery, I WILL have a lazy river on my property.  The best thing about them these days is my ass actually fits down inside the tubes!  I used to have to do the balancing act across the top, probably laying on my stomach, because I couldn't get one damn CHEEK down in the middle!

Nowadays, I can darn near fold myself in half and slip through the middle of a tube!  And when my husband and I share a double, HIS side sags, and I'M up in the air!!!  It's a good thing, to be able to enjoy the water without feeling like the beached whale everyone is looking at 

It was a much-needed get away.  Didn't make the best food choices, but ya know what?  I'm always free to start fresh.  Every day, for the rest of my life.  THAT is a blessing, too.
