THE DEATH OF THE FAT SKIRT

Written June 27, 2007
So, hopefully, you have read the blog about my "fat skirt swimsuit." If you haven't, then go read that one first, and trust me it's worth it! Well, I am here to tell you today that I HAVE SHED THE FAT SKIRT! Yes, that's right... I am back in a bikini! But not just any bikini... I am back in my zebra bikini.
I bought this one just before the summer of 2001. I had just begun exploring other options, after coming to the realization that college was NOT my pathway to gainful employment. In fact, if I had to sit in one more classroom for one more minute, I was going to freak out. I was not in the mood to learn, I was in the mood to live. So I bought the bikini that I hoped would serve me well during my summer of whatever may lay ahead. It did. I dedided to be a flight attendant for 6 months so that I could travel the country and decide where I wanted to be. Well, in a very round about way, that is exactly what happened. Granted my tenure with Southwest Airlines has lasted a bit more than 6 months... and thank God for that, because I don't know what else I'm good at. I get paid to flirt, mix drinks and stay in hotels on beaches... WHAT A JOB, RIGHT! Well, I met my husband and we did indeed travel around and decide where we wanted to be... Mississippi. Yep, right back home. (And boy was that result a shocker!) We've lived all over and we LOVE our house, our neighbors, our family and friends. And just like I said in my FSS blog... I wanted to look like I feel. Well, for the first time in a while, I feel great about how I look and feel... and I do it while wearing a Zebra-print bikini!
