I like banana wheat, with syrup.

If Only All Time...
Fat floats.

We all know this, right? Fat, a lipid, is less dense than water… so it floats.

I know this. I really do.

But I was still excited at the astonishing sight I beheld in the bathtub Sunday night.

I filled the tub higher than usual, and sunk myself all the way in, hoping that the water would wash away all the deadlines I’ve been facing lately…

Or maybe just drown me so I didn’t have to meet them? ;-)

I had my eyes closed… and when I opened them, I saw that part of my body was not submersed entirely.

Two parts, to be exact.

AND THE HEAVENS PARTED AND A GLORIOUS LIGHT SHONE UPON THE EARTH, AS THE ANGELS SANG!

What a vision to behold! It was like seeing my perky, 2005 BEWBS! I wanted to say to them… “Oh, 2005 bewbs, how I have missed you! The way you didn’t drag on the floor and bump against my ankles, it was like magic. You knew how to make a girl feel young… with your distinct ability to not have gross stretch marks and your complete lack of loud, slapping noises when I ran or jumped without a bra on.

Oh, pre-pregnant, pre-nursing 2005 BEWBS! Where have you been all this time!?”

But it was just a façade.

Please, make sure you try this yourself. But don’t be the fool that I was.

DO NOT LOOK IN THE MIRROR AND CATCH A GLIMPSE OF THE FREE-HANGING-MEAT AS YOU’RE GETTING OUT OF THE TUB.

Just hold onto the vision, the memory… the floaty, fake-perky boobies. It’s okay to pretend.

Ah. Think I’ll make pancakes for breakfast… for some reason I can’t get the thought of flapjacks out of my head.

Mmmm, Pancakes

  • Know what else floats in the water? Man parts. It’s funny. I just want to poke it. But then my husband gets “ideas” which interrupts my sleep plans, so I have to be content to just giggle about it in my mind. (Not that he bathes frequently.) (Wait. That came out wrong. He showers.) (I didn’t marry someone who doesn’t clean himself.) (What??)

    Mine don’t float, they just sort of droop to each side as I lay back in the water. Guess my bathtub’s not deep enough……

  • I don’t even want to know what Madness is referring to. Glad you had a happy bath- even without a date with the shower head. Why couldn’t our bodies improve with each baby? Like, wow, you created life inside you. Here are firmer, perkier boobs to go with that smaller waist and rock hard abs and butt! Yes, I’m delusional.

    I’m going to take a bath tonight…I miss my pre-baby bewbies.

    Before she passed away, I had to help my Grammy get dressed. Let’s just say that I’ve seen my future and it ain’t pretty. The whole race to the belly button concept…not so funny when they’ve already declared a tie after reaching their destination. *shudder*

  • Flapjacks are what I call long flappy titties…have for years. I’m sure that’s what you’re referring to and that makes me smile that we think alike.

    Your bewbs do not look anything like flapjacks…..at least not in a bra. ;)

  • I love it when a post is not only funny, but spawns hilarious comments.

    My boobs, they are small. I have the boob float/belly float issue too, Tracey.

    Oh well, at least they are not big enough to EVER hit the belly button. In any case, they probably couldn’t find it anyway within the belly mush.
