Yo ho, yo ho.

I have a headache every morning when I wake up. I think I'm beginning to figure out that this is caused by dehydration. I don't drink hardly anything in the evening, and what I do isn't enough to get me through the night. I don't even have to go to the toilet first thing out of bed anymore - hello, that's a BIG sign!

I finished a bookmark and the Lady last night. That's two shuttles that are (briefly) free at one time. I want to figure out how to block things now, so I'm hoping to find something useful for that today.

Jack has a birthday party to attend this afternoon from 3-6pm. The guest of honor has chosen a pirate theme for his party, and that makes me all kinds of wistful about my Captain Jack's own pirate party last summer. Ahhhh, the memories. He's supposed to arrive in his "best pirate attire" - well, I think we've got that part covered easily!

I've got a couple loads of laundry that need to be put away. I wash so much more in the summertime, between all the extra loads of towels and bathing suits. It's ridiculous!

Speaking of bathing suits, both of the boys have three pairs of swim trunks each, but I have just one suit. And I forgot to mention it earlier, but while we were swimming on Thursday (we headed out to Papio Bay for a couple of hours before swimming lessons later that same evening - insane, I know), the zipper on my suit broke off. This would be the zipper that's not only there just for decoration. No, it's also the fully-functioning zipper that keeps my boobages from the world's viewing pleasure, and it wasn't functioning at all because it was GONE.

Naturally, this catastrophe happened within five minutes in the water. I was a bit panicked, holding my suit together and trying to climb out of the water near the big slides, and I asked the staff for a safety pin. They had none and no other helpful ideas, but I finally asked for even a paperclip, and they were able to produce two different sizes for me. So for the remainder of our two hours there, I was the gal in the blue suit suit with the "ghetto paperclip zipper" holding me in.

And, of course, now I get to go swimsuit shopping - yippee! Or not.

Ugh, that's like my worst nightmare. Good luck suit shopping. That ranks right up there above bra shopping for me :P

Oh, and your captain Jack is about the cutest pirate I've ever seen, btw.

Do you have a zipper suit, too? If not - DON'T EVER BUY ONE.

And thanks. I'm kinda partial to Captain Jack, too. (Both of them, but mine especially. *wink*)

No I don't have a zipper suit. And I now have a mental note to never buy a zipper suit! I haven't tried my suit on this year. I'm afraid that with my nursing cleavage it won't anywhere near fit and I might have to buy a new suit this year!!

Well, at least you have a beautiful bod to shop for. ;-)

How much sleep do you get at night? Do you sleep peacefully? I used to wake up with HORRID headaches too and that was the problem. That or I'd pop 4 ibruporfen before bedtime :)

ROFLMAO omg that swimsuit thing is soooooooooo totally something that would happen to me!!!!! You handled it well though! I woulda left lol

I haaaaaaaate swim suit shopping though :-/ I haven't owned a swimming suit in over 10 years. Blah! Good luck though :-D They DO make some pretty cute ones :)

Enh, I get varied sleep amounts. Sometimes I'm a night owl, and other times I go to bed right at midnight. And I never wake before 9am or so (now that it's truly summer, that is).

I got one, and it is zipper-less. I'd love to have two swimsuits at a time, but I spent $35 on one last night, and I can't yet afford to buy an extra.

And $35 are the "cheap ones" at Wal*mart, no less.
