I Just Haven’t Met You Yet
Just back from one of my least favorite activities…

bathing suit shopping.

Next week, we are heading south for a much needed family vacation.

My swim suits are tired and worn. I really need a new one.

However, I have come home empty handed…
I can’t seem to find anything that flatters and fits right.
This must be what Michael Buble was singing about on the
radio while I was driving home…right?

{feel free to sing a long in your head with me}

I’m not surprised, not everything lasts,
I’ve broken my heart so many times,
I stop keeping track
Talk myself in

I talk myself out
I get all worked up

And then I let myself down

I tried so very hard not to lose it.

I came up with a million excuses

I thought of every possibility,

but, I just haven’t met you yet.

And I know someday that it’ll all turn out

 You’ll make me work so we can work to work it out

And I promise you kid
That I’ll give you so much more
than I get

I just haven’t met you yet

I might have to wait
I’ll never give up

 I guess it’s half timing
 
And the other half’s luck
 


Wherever you are
Whenever it’s right

 You’ll come out of nowhere
and into my life
 




I just haven’t met you yet!



{In this twisted relationship “its not you, it’s me”!}

Oh, please…flattering bathing suit, come find me!

    HILARIOUS!!! I feel you—I dread it. But I'm longing for sunshine so I don't mind if bathing suit shopping has to come with it!

    Shopping for a bathing suit is almost like going to my yearly gyn appt. But I really like the brown one in the 6th photo. xo

    I LOVE this post! I have never in my life ever met anyone that enjoys bathing suit shopping. This is such a cute idea to potentially make the experience of at least looking at them more enjoyable! Thanks1

    I too feel your pain! Michael Kors has some flattering ones. Check out Marshall's and TJ's. They get some really nice ones in this time of year. I've had great luck there in the past and even though I have some flattering suits, I still don't relish putting them on 🙂

    I think bathing suit/jean shopping is a cruel punishment for bad things we haven't even done yet… and clearly might not even think of. xo e

    I am with you….I get absolutely hate bathing suit shopping. I really prefer 2 pieces but must wear a one piece, why can't they come with an attached long soft skirt? I love Norma Kamali suits as they drape graceful around a very tricky part of our anatomy…
