Happy July 4 or 5th, or whenever you read this.
I started my day with a 12 mile run. 12 miles in honor of the 12 days of Christmas in July. Or something I didn’t just make up.
Then, the dogs put on their Fourth of July costumes…
and I busted out my new mermaid bathing suit to get wet.
I ordered this online recently after seeing it on a Facebook page. It was kinda random and I love it.
Pool time!
Everyone was joking this was my ‘modesty suit’. Next year I’m going for the full body cover up. You’re welcome.

Obligatory mermaid impression.
A little mermaid humor.
And other Fourth of July necessities.
Hope you enjoyed your day!
Question: What did you do today?
More importantly, what did you eat?
The most American thing I ate/drank was beer and potato chips. America!!
There was a “Durian Appreciation” gathering among the LYNRunners yesterday evening. Weekend was packed with runs on Saturday and Sunday mornings.
That suit is so random, but I love it! You wear it really well, I’m sure I’d look like a dunce in it 🙂
Love the swim suit! My niece had a custom made mermaid tail made that she swims with. You may need one too!
He’s a human, Ariel. You’re a mermaid! – King Triton
Love the color of the suit on you!
We went for a 35 mile bike ride and stopped at a couple of bars on the bike trail for some refreshments – it was glorious!
Cute bathing suit! Happy 4th of July! It was just a normal day here – I worked all day, came home and cleaned the house, went swimming with the kids, and mowed the lawn.
My husband and I kept it pretty tame yesterday. We brunched, read our books and lit sparklers by night while admiring the neighbors’ expensive fireworks. Ah, the life! 🙂
The suit is super cute! I made homemade veggie burgers forthe first time and the turned out great!
1st…You look totally FABU in that swimsuit!! It suits you…and sometimes that kind of suit is sexier than a bikini…it sure is true with “The Mermaid.”
#2…What IS in that glass??? It looks divine, and I want some!
And finally, we had chicken, coleslaw, homemade rolls, and the world-famous WW pineapple angel food cake with real whipped cream. We are sated. 🙂
It’s Bailey’s, banana, ice, milk and chocolate syrup around the glass. So magical.
I love the mermaid suit! I recently bought a one piece too and realized that going to the potty is just too much of a pain. tankinis it is. I layed low yesterday so today I have alot of making up to do!
Yesterday was all about the food for me! BBQ for lunch and BBQ for dinner but there are no complaints from me haha.
I love the mermaid suit 🙂
Ohmygawd your mermaid-pose photo has made my year! Love it.
I started my day at a 4th of July kids parade and spent the rest of the day at parties (including my own). Somehow I managed to find time to eat a ton of watermelon and pulled pork. Feeling awesome today.
I’m in love with that swimsuit! My body type is very similar to yours, so I would hope that I could look just as smashing in it as you do! 😀
For realsies: Harry and I lounged around most of the day. We went out on the back deck to watch fireworks after having some pizza for dinner, then I hit the hay. We went to Navy Pier last year, so I think we wanted to make up for all of the drama from it this year. Bwahaha!
Well played Monica. I was dying when I saw your ‘modest suit’, the whole family insisted I share the mermaid pics. Too funny. Yesterday I ate WAY too much. My favorite was probably the pudding/oreo/coolwhip cake and the augratin potatoes…which of course made me sick. Way to go with the 12 mile run. You rock.

That sounds amazing – I feel like my friend’s mom used to make a cake like that when I was a kid.
I was on the boat for a large portion of the day and night but the best thing I ate was Yoplait’s new Watermelon yogurt….YES, WATERMELON. It’s pretty awesome.
I need to try that!
I had beer, a burger (with avocado!), and roasted broccoli. I was going to have french fries, but once I had the oven on, all I wanted to make was broccoli – I’m weird like that.
I did a 4 mile race and bumped smack into TSA at the end! Fun times…
Loving that mermaid suit!! I ate way too much yesterday but more importantly, I drank way too many margaritas 🙂
Way too much good food! Most importantly buffalo chicken dip & s’mores on a stick. Oops! 🙂
I love that bathing suit so much, you look great!
I had the most amazing grass fed burgers with my friends! Plus grilled corn which was perfection!
You rock that mermaid suit, girlfran! 😉
Went to a BBQ last minute. Had a burger and some Spanish rice and beans (her family is from Puerto Rico ) and then it was cafe con leche and cookies. And a huge cannoli too. No alcohol though. I took a rest day but am shooting to run 8 miles in the morning.
That mermaid suit is so unique. That color goes great on you.
I ran a 4th of July race. I had a traditional independence day meal. Ribs, potato salad, and a gyro. Don’t ask.
Gyro, yep that is super traditional…
