What a dumbass!

On Saturday, myself and a couple of friends packed up to go hang out at the pool at my dad's resort. I ran around, grab a few things (swim suit, brush, sunscreen) to through in a bag, and we left. We get up to the hotel, about 30 minuts from my house and I pull my swim suit out of the bag so I can change.

Wait...what? What the hell?! It appears as though I have backed my swim suit top and a SPORTS BRA! In my hurry to get out of the house I quickly dug through my drawer and I grabed based on color and fabric texture, but clearly I did not do this correctly, because I do not have the bottom of my swimsuit!

Okay, no big deal, I will go to the hotel gift shop and either buy some shorts, or a new swim suit. They don't have any of either. Okay, so I go and look at the mens trunks. $45 dollars to look like a complete idiot, I DON'T THINK SO!

So I get the car. There is a shopping center across the street with a Lane Bryant. No worries, I'll go over there. They don't have ANYTHING. No swim suits, no athletic shorts, NOTHING. They get those in February. Their inventory is now Fall stuff. HELLO! This is ARIZONA. It is 100+ degrees outside. The last thing I want to buy is a sweater! I ask if there are any other plus size stores in the center. A woman nearby tells me they have stuff at Old Navy. "Shorts?" I ask. "Oh yeah, lots of them. My friend was just trying a bunch on," She says.

So I run down to Old Navy. Nope, no shorts, no swimsuits nothing. Not even athletic shorts. All they had were yoga pants. Damn, now what was I going to do?

I called my sister to see about getting more ideas. She laughed at me. She laughed hard and for a long time. Then she turned and told my mom what was going on. Now they were both laughing at me. Now I got annoyed. "I don't care if you laugh at me, but you have to HELP me! I need suggestions!" They came back with the same stuff I had already tried. I needed more that than. My mom came back with buying boyshort panties. I told her there was NO WAY I was going out in public in boyshorts. I do not have the legs for that anymore. My swimsuit bottoms have a skirt for a reason!

By this time I was so desperate that I went into Ross to see what they have. Then my mom actually comes up with something good. Go the fabric store and buy a half yard of fabric to wrap around my hips. That could work. We'll call that plan B.

I was standing in Ross and had found some athletic shorts, but couldn't find my size. I hang up with my mom and keep looking for my size in the shorts. I start grabbing every style shorts they had because I am going into the dressing room. Whichever pair looks the best is the winner, no matter how bad it looks. I'm getting in that pool damnit! I gather the shorts and start looking for the dressing room. I get to the end of the aisle and there is 1 more pair of shorts, and this pair is in my size! Yeah! And they only cost me $7.50. EVEN BETTER! I buy the shorts and head back. I join the guys at the pool about 45 minutes after I left.

I can't believe I was so stupid. You can bet that I will ALWAYS make sure I grab the right thing from now on!
