We pulled the cover off the pull this weekend and it was GREEN and NASTY!!  Ugh!  I was really disgusted, but it’s nothing new.  The pool is green every spring. I’ve never figured out how to keep it clean through the winter.  With no time to run back and forth to a town big enough that has pool chemicals, I ran to the local dollar store and bought 10 gallons of bleach. We poured all 10 gallons in the pool Sunday.  Monday the pool looked a LOT better. It’s nowhere near swim ready, but it’s not green and algae ridden anymore.  It’s now just murky.  I bought 5 more gallons today, and Cameron dumped it in.

This got me thinking – it’s about swimsuit season, and like I said yesterday – I’m NOT READY!   I’m sure that it happens all the time, but it’s when I’m so concerned about my weight that I notice the commercials and ads in the newspaper and magazine for diet aids such as Nutrislim and  lipo 6 black.  It sounds freaky, but it seems like maybe the advertisers know that summer is approaching and so they are pushing their “fast slimming” techniques.  Have you noticed that?  It’s driving me crazy, but maybe I’ll use that as more motivation to get my act together.
