rules of summer: pool edition

Oh I've spent many a sleepless night pondering what my first "how to" should be. I'll spare you a braid or smokey eye tutorial and give you what I do best: how to amuse yourself in a boring situation, pool edition. It was too hot to be anywhere besides the pool in Palm Springs so should you find yourself in a similar summertime situation, these are my tips:

1. Stealthily swim up to the side of the pool and stare at other hotel guests. See what they do.

2. Create a synchronized swimming routine. Boyfriend optional, but highly recommended for a more advanced routine with flip/jump integration.

3. Play I Spy. Choose something barely visible. Witness the struggle.

4. See how long you can do things: how long you can hold your breath, sit at the bottom of the pool, float et al.

5. Make sure you have a cocktail in your hand approximately 60-75% of the time.


You're welcome.
