Manic Monday
Manic Monday is hosted by Fleur de Lisa
Are you strict about wearing your sunscreen in the summer?
- Yes, now I am – all year! However, I wish I had been more faithful long ago. I’m especially concerned about covering my face. I wear an Elta sunscreen from my dermatologist, and when I’m hiking a big dorky hat. I’ve had a few sunspots either zapped or excised from my face. The sun can be an evil thing…
Do you frequently wear sandals in the summer? Any favorites you’d like to share?
- I love my new Keen’s – they’ve proven to be great for hiking! I have a pair of Timberland thong-type that I like, and right now I’m wearing my Mary Jane style Crocs.
What are a few great books that you’ve taken along to the beach or on vacation in years past? If you aren’t a big reader, what do you do to while away the lazy hours?
- My all time favorite summer reading was August by Judith Rossner. Just reading the book made me want to visit Cape Cod, and once I was there I read it again! I’m traveling right now and I love to have a glass of wine and curl up in my “over the cab” bed and read. Right now I’m reading All the Pretty Horses.
How do you feel about swimsuit shopping? Love it, hate it, indifferent? What’s your color of choice?
- I hate it. I’ve been hanging on to my one piece black swimsuit for years. It fits perfectly. I haven’t found another one that fits as well. I don’t know what I’ll do when it wears out…
I love my crocs, too! They’re sooooo comfy!
My swim suit is black, also. I think it’s slimming.
Anyway…
Happy Monday!
I have read that these Crocs are comfortable in other places. I think I am going to try them.
You know already how I feel about both sunscreen and Keens. We’re on the same page with that!
The great thing is that a good bathing suit will last for a long time with proper care. Of course, my suits don’t get the use like they used to… swimming isn’t such a year-round thing here in Indiana, as you well know. I should join the YMCA as it’s such good exercise.
Well, I’m rambling now so I’ll stop. So glad you were able to play along this week from the road.
