Cruise SHOPPING

**Clara** · March 22nd, 2003, 05:22 PM

Guess what I bought today....

A new swimsuit

like I really needed another one. I bought 3 new ones for the cruise last year. However if you remember last year I never could find a black one and when I saw this I couldn't pass it up. It was so cute I didn't even try it on.

Now all I have to do is get myself in shape enough to wear it.

Oh hush! You look great in a swim suit! Do I need to post the photos of you in a bikini???

yikes...i haven't owned a suit for QUITE a while!

i don't plan on buying one until THE LAST possible second! (on my way from the airport to the hotel in Galveston?!! haha!)

Nitra don't you dare... LOL

I think the only one with me in a bikini was when my boobs were about to fall out. (even though I don't have much) oh yea it wasn't my boobs it was missjoli's.

What I meant by my comment was getting in shape, a little tan and firming up. Girl don't forget I'm closer to 50 than 40 things starting to head south.

Oh and Stacy don't wait till the last minute because you'll end up like I did last year and having to take leftovers.

I bought it a little small so I know I still have to work toward my goal.

www.cyberswim.com is all I gotta say! LOL Check out those specials. Heck we got some bargins last year. Ended up paying like 40 dollars for 100+ dollar swimsuits.

There is NO way my big ol self is buying a suit now! I have to loose a lot of poundage before I scare myself into a relaps with 2 of my favorite friends, Ben and Jerry. I will do like Stacy and wait until the last minute. I need to get in shape so I can look at myself naked or swimsuited. Then I will go buy that little suit that I really want. Shux I can afford to spend $80 on a suit that I am going to shrink out of. Because Ladies, I am in a metamorphosis and I will emerge from this body producing a long, lean, handsome man attracting machine!

Nitra your right those were great suits... LOL CONYSCAZ dang thats a mouth ful anyway I hear you on wanting to wait just don't wait to long. Don't worry just stick to your plan and you'll look great.

Yep Anitra, we did get some good deals on those suits. I love them because they just "hold everything in", and for me, that is truly a "Miracle Suit". I went shopping last night at the Eddie Bauer outlet, and got a couple of outfits for the cruise. Oh, I watched the ship today in port....it is a weekly ritual of mine. I am obsessed with that ship!!

Are we cruisin' yet?

Trip

Trip its something that we can smile about. I can't wait till it gets closer to cruise time and we all start planning.

**Nitra** · March 23rd, 2003, 05:26 PM

You guys realize we are only about a month and a half from the big deposit??? that means after that we only have 2 and a half months then we make final payment!!!! and you all know that once final is made the time just zoooooms! OMG it will be here before we know!

All I can say is you are all much braver than I am. No way can I shop now.
While buying something for incentive is always fun and inspiring, buying a wardrobe for the cruise would be disastrous. I have absolutely no idea what size I will be by then.
I can't even guess. So anything I bought now might fit, or be too small or even too big. I just can't afford to take the chance.
Besides, living in AZ I can almost always find swimwear...even in the dead of winter.

Im with you PA.. I dont shop till later either. I may just make due with what I have, provided it is not all too big by then. I usually wait till Labor day weekend sales.. you can get some killer bargins then! At that time you are only a little over a month out and what you buy should still fit ok by cruise. Also it was September last year they put the suits at cyberswim on sale!

Just remember everyone.. dont over do it! I told yall this over and over last year and you kept worrying you did not have the right clothes and then found out I was right.. you dont need that much. You claim you learned so lets see. Teach the first time cruisers how to cruise shop!

Paula is a stick already so she can shop now, along with Twister and Luvmyboxerpup.. the others I have not seen enough of to tell you.. LOL. Im about ready to pull out the Paula in a bikini pic and let yall see her skinny self.
