Check Her Out!

Brandi has no fear when it comes to my mom's pool.  She has been wearing her pink swimmies, and jumping into the deep end.  She has been bugging me about swimming without the swimmies, so yesterday I had her try and swim in the deep end on her own.  She did awesome!  She shocked me a little when she started treading water in eight feet of water!  Since she was swimming so well, I told her she could jump in without her swimmies if she wanted to, and she did.  Now, she doesn't want to wear the swimmies at all, but I am not there yet.  I still want her to have them on for a little while longer, if for nothing else than my own peace of mind.

This Is My Summer

I may not be around too much this summer. My mom's new house came with a big 'ole pool, and we are really enjoying it.  I haven't been dropping ecards on this blog, and my posting has been pretty pathetic.  I know this, but there are more important things going on in my life right now, and I am sure you can all understand that.  When choosing between my computer or a day in the pool, I am happy to say the pool will win every time. :)

Will We Be Swimming?

Another busy day ahead.  We're heading to my mom's house to help get the pool ready.  I spent last night vacuuming, and am going to do the same today.  Mom found out the pool hasn't been used in two years, so there is a lot to get cleaned before it is swim-able.  Hopefully by tonight, we will be jumping in!

Water Plus Music Equals Fun

I have found the coolest thing at sunwavesports.com. It is the Swimp3, a waterproof MP3 player. This would be perfect for swimming laps in a pool. Usually I just let my mind wander, but I would love to listen to my favorite tunes. Oh, and I bet this would be great to use when surfing, too. I love the thought of being able to combine two of my favorite things, water and music.

You can check out their selection of women's swimwear, too. They have the neatest swim parkas, too, for those who like to swim in cold weather. These are designed to keep you cozy warm, while keeping the water out.

I Want A Pool!

I want a pool.

I want to be able to swim everyday.

I want to enjoy lounging in the sun, floating in the crystal clear water.

I know it won't happen anytime soon.

This is the first full summer we will be spending here at the apartment. I know for a fact we are not allowed to have a real, hard sided pool. I am hoping we can get away with one of those blue do it yourself pools, but who knows. We don't pay the water bill, it's included in our rent, so they might get upset if we fill a pool.

One day I hope to have a beautiful in-ground pool. I was looking at Napa pools and they have some gorgeous designs. I would want beautiful landscaping around it, with a diving board and a slide for the kids. I remember growing up, we had a four foot pool. Our house was pretty popular during the summer months. We weren't as popular as those kids who had in-ground pools, but I think having the four foot was perfect for us. You could play better games in our pool. Although, nothing beats diving to fetch those sticks that sink in the in-ground pools.

Listen to me. I am babbling. I am going to check out some Walnut Creek pools and San Jose pools so I can dream and drool a little. I am sure someday we will have our dream pool. I just wish someday was tomorrow.
