Wet and Wild!!!

Last night, my grandkids came over to visit, and the encounter ended up with me in the pool, doing specific dives and strokes and underwater escapades on command. I swim like a fish - always have. The only thing I could not successfully execute was Joseph's idea - "Pretend like you are going to dive, then fake everyone out and do a cannonball , but first twist around one way, then the other, then lift one knee up, then the other and do a cannonball". Okay. So I faked, did a half twist, then lifted one knee and then the other. I can't jump high enough without a diving board to switch twists in mid air. It was fun. I am 57 going on 6.

Back to work today, and this is what I am wearing:




The dress underneath the chiffon peasant top is going in the trash. The zipper got stuck 3/4 of the way up. Doc tried and he couldn't get it to go, either. So I took it off, zipped it up with great difficulty, and then shimmied into it while it was zipped up. That's a lot of contortion for a dress. And besides that, I have a huge selection of plain black dresses to pick from. So hasta la vista, cute dress.




I wore my famous signature (hahaha) triple necklaces today. The top one is a garnet blossom - I gave my niece the same one at my mom's funeral, so we have matching necklaces. The middle one is a garnet cross that was my mom's, and the longest is a herringbone chain.


Only one arm of goodies today, but what an arm!!! I have a Colleen Lopez garnet cluster (I treated myself to this on my 57th birthday), a garnet/opal bracelet and a garnet bracelet. I love the way these two big bracelets look together, but I am a fan of the over the top look in general.


So let's get to our mob of links:

So I will attempt to stay dry today. I work out for three days in a row, and then take the fourth day off to recover. I was definitely tired last night - I walked at lunch, worked out to Tony Horton, walked the dogs and then did my pool extravaganza. See you all later!!
