Summer Tip

Summer Tip #563:  Never eat a 5 pound burrito while in your bathing suit sitting poolside.

I made this mistake earlier today.  Okay, it wasn't quite 5 pounds but it was huge!  I mean really huge.  And I ate the whole thing. I was so hungry from working, taking a yoga class and not eating anything all day, that I literally ate every bite of said burrito.  It sure tasted good going down but I felt like a huge lard-ass after I had eaten it.  Buyers remorse.

To make matters worse, Mr. X had snuck in some beers that he had bought while out picking up the burritos. You know that stupid Toby Keith song, "Red Solo Cup"??  Enough said. We are a class act, Mr. X and I.  Truth be told, I didn't even finish mine, it just felt wrong.

Now, let me just say, that we do not belong to a fancy pool.  It's not like we were scarfing down burritos at the country club.  That said, it's also not like we were hanging at a public pool in the Bronx (not that there's anything wrong with the Bronx.  Don't go getting your knickers in a bunch!). Though I bet if we were in the Bronx, I wouldn't have felt so strange about eating a giant burrito!  

I don't know what it is about summer.  Most people eat really healthy in the summer because, in theory, you wear less clothes in the summer.  Me, I eat more in the summer, who the heck knows why.  In any event, the burrito is gone and my stomach feels like a swallowed a bowling ball.

Hope everyone is having a great summer so far.  Please feel free to post any of your summertime tips in the comment section below!

Oh...here's one more.  Tip # 564:  Don't forget to remove your child's half eaten burrito from pool bag when you get home.  I better go do that...

Peace and love.
