Off to the Bahamas!

This year is the big 3-0 and I'm off to celebrate! My best friend's birthday is in January, mine is in May, so what better time to go away than March?  We're hitting the Bahamas.
I just looked at the weather. It's only supposed to be in the high 70's while we're there. It's not as hot as I would like, but it's better than here!  I haven't been to a beach in about two years. I had some problems with the skin on my face last Easter - I went to dermatologists, immunologists, spent hundreds of dollars and in the end, a 99 cents aloe leaf at the grocery store did the trick. I can still see remnants of what was there, but most people wouldn't notice. Add a little bit of makeup and it gone! But just in case, I went out and bought a brimmed hat to prevent any further issues.  So maybe the cooler weather is someone's way of looking out for me.
I went shopping the other day to check out some bathing suits. Depressing.  I still have the same amount of chest, just in a different spot. Finding a bathing suit that fit right and I felt comfortable wearing was tough.  In the end, I bought a bikini - but not so teenie weenie.  I just hope I don't look like someone who shouldn't be wearing one.
I tried to go on a diet. It didn't work. We went to visit the in-laws over the weekend and it was a choice between bagels and donuts for breakfast, then dinner was pizza. Monday, I had a lunch date with my mom at the Olive Garden.  So much for dropping 5 pounds. I would have been happy with 2. Instead I gained one and a half!  
This morning I hit up the spa for my first hot stone pedicure. I had some spafinder gift certificates from two Christmas's ago.  All it cost me was the tip and a few quarters for the meter.  I loved it!
