bathing suit season

and tonight, because i temporarily lost my mind, i thought it might be a good idea to take a picture of myself...the goal being that i could see what other people see. there's a saying, "never ask a question that you don't want to hear the answer to".
yeah...not an answer i really wanted to face. even taking into consideration that most of us are more critical of ourselves than others might be AND that the camera adds 10lbs. ;) still not an answer i'm ready to share at the neighborhood pool. i think i may wait a bit to swim this year.
