Oh Shopping...

First Mate spends Saturdays with her father.  While she does this, I take advantage of the baby-free me time.  She gets to spend time with him, I get to keep my sanity - it's good for all involved.

Today, there are a few things on my agenda.  The first and foremost being shopping.  I need three things:

1. New sunglasses

I need a new pair of non-prescription sunglasses.  Apparently, I overpaid for my registration of the Mommy Mobile.  So - the math works out that I can use the refund from Subaru to buy myself a pair of Ray Ban aviators.  I wasn't sold on this look until recently when I tried on a pair in Banana Republic and thought they looked good.  It's like Mommy-chic!

2. A tankini

I have no photos to show you of what I am looking for in a tankini.  I have no idea, honestly.  Maybe some ruching to hide the post baby area?  I loved my bathing suit last year but it was a one piece and they annoy me.  

I will be honest that I am practically back to my pre-baby body.  I just have that area that I am worried about.  But - I am determined to work on that, which is the perfect segue into the last thing I need...

3. Sneakers

Again, I have no idea what I am looking for in a sneaker (light?  narrow?  good arch support?) but I need a good pair because next week, I am starting the Couch to 5K program!  I will do it!  I will!  

I suppose this also means that now I need a jogging stoller...  I will check out Craigslist to see about this. 

Oh, I also need baby spoons since First Mate started rice cereal this morning!  Such a big girl!  I will post pictures later!!!  

Have a wonderful Memorial Day Holiday!  May we honor the memories of those who fought so valiantly for our Freedom!
