I wish our pool was heated, kind of jealous right now :pQuote:

Finally got to swim in the pool after going all winter without being able to swim.
Wasn't sure where to post this, but it made me happy, so I'll put it here. LOOK AT THESE SHOES!!! :jawdrop:

Those are fantastic.
A four year old boy in a lifejacket told me he wants to be a mermaid because he saw me swimming in my fin today.
Wifey had just informed me that this place is a 10-15 minute drive from our house.... 30ft of visibility in the water from what I can gather.... This is ridiculously exciting.

Gonna get out there real soon I hope. Father-in-law found another cute little lake hidden in the mountains today, one that doesn't charge to visit but the water visibility isn't as clear.Quote:

I finished the testing that I had to do to graduate, so now I can graduate! I'm not gonna fail my senior year! YAY! :D
Did some underwater breath holds in my free time in between shifts today. I have broken my best record at just over three minutes!
So a few good things! I passed my driving test. I ordered a pair of Finis Zoomers that were gently used for my friend since her feet are bigger than mine and they came in the mail the other day. I also went to Hancock fabrics the store that's going out of business and bought 3 yards of spandex for $25, which will eventually be turned into a painted spandex tail for my friend. Emily, my best friend, will also eventually get a matching polycarbonate monofin like mine. She is so excited because I told her the difference between sirens and mermaids, so she decided to be a siren because she's into dark colors and luring men to their watery death and stuff. Anyway, once the pools at our houses get warmer we'll start the training! My goal is to eventually have silicone tails for both of us and start our entertainment business!

I went to Hancock yesterday too! Yay, 50% off spandex!! :D I got fabric for 3 different tails: mint, jade, and a bright crayon green. (I'm actually not HUGE into green, but those were the colors they had that I liked, and I realized afterwards that they were all a shade of green, haha!) I got a little extra in the mint and green because I'm hoping I can make an extra fluke cover and attach it to the bottom of my SunTail tails, now that I have a different monofin.
My only regret was that they had a GORGEOUS shiny brown spandex that I wanted for a steampunk mermaid tail - but it had NO give in one direction! :( And I'm still pretty new to sewing, esp. stretch fabrics, so I just didn't want to bother :T
Change of plans. Instead of one kitten we're getting two!
Yay for more kitties!!!

Hi Guys!!!
I'm really happy because I just finished paying off my tail! I've been working with Fifi from Tiggs Tails since January and its like-- oh my god, I did this. I'm about to live my dream- something I never thought I would be able to do anytime soon. I'm newly turned 20 and I worked my ass off at school (full time student) and work ( Work 45 + hours a week) I never thought I could make this happen. Close to 2k USD on this tail and its just like WHHHAAATTTTTTTT
I'm rocking a 3.7 GPA and just got singed to a modeling agency, got my mermaid tail, and its just- unreal! AND IM GOING TO SEATTLE ON WEDNESDAY AHHH!!! SO EXCITEDDD
Congrats!
That is incredibly impressive!

Raquel, I don't even know you, but I'm proud of you!! You're following your dreams and putting in the work to make them a reality!!! God bless you on your journeys, mersister!!!
Graduating high school today. Yay.
And my mom and I found out about a stable only about 30 minuets away. So we're going for a morning ride. First ride in years. So excited.
I've never had much opportunity to ride, because I live a suburb close to Chicago and before that I lived in New York City.
But I have worked with horses lots. There was a racing stable by my old house in a different Chicago suburb, and so every morning before kindergarten, I would go muck out the stalls of these race horses. Best time of my life. Never got to ride 'em, of course, but I did learn how to work with them, brush them, muck them out, just plain old cuddle with 'em.
Congratulations, I hope it works out for you!Quote:

I'm so excited! My pool is almost warm enough to swim in! My dad is turning on the solar heating for the pool and it's going to be 100° for the next couple days so I should be able to swim in a few days!!!!

Just finished my first 2k open water swim this morning! It was super easy, the only problem was staying on track (and not veering off course), and the wardrobe malfunction I had at the end of my second lap with my old suit.
Either way, I got a new suit and goggles today, so I should be ready to conquer the 5K next time I do the swim!
Little Mermaid cake pops!! I want these for my next birthday!

PROM IS ON SATURDAY!!! I'm so excited!
Also, for my dance program at my school, me and 2 of my classmates had to prepare and teach (under strict observation and grading of my teacher) two dance classes taken by our peers of a variety of levels!!! The phrase we taught turned out really beautiful, everyone loved it, and we got a great grade too!!!! Feeling on top of the world today!!! [emoji177]
Congrats!
