If you've seen a Special K cereal commercial, you know the end of that lyric - "...itsy bitsy, teenie weenie yellow polka dot bikini."

And, you, too, can wear one if you've been shopping lately.

Target already has stocked its shelves with spring-break gear.

Just as we sped past back-to-school with Halloween stuff, and Halloween with holiday stuff, now the sale racks have barely been moved from Christmas and we're on to spring break.

I'm not sure what happened to Valentine's Day?

I'm happy to fast forward to summertime, but the new sales calendar leaves me feeling as though my life is on fast forward.

If winter is summer, and summer is winter, whenever I go to the store I feel behind the times.

Does this mean the swim suit I buy in January will be out of style by the time summer comes?

Will there be any swim wear on the rack later, for those of us who drag our feet, or will it be snowsuits by then?

The moral of the story is: If you want your New Year's diet plan to get you ready for swim suit season, you're out of luck; Swim suit season is here and in full swing.

So, I may as well finish the cookie I'm eating while writing this and go scarf shopping. Winter is right around the corner, afterall.
