soak up the sun

I'm back! And burnt to a nice little pink crisp, thank you very much. I don't get how this is fair. Yes, I know my heritage (Irish and Polish) lends itself to giving me easily burnable skin.. but I don't even get decent color out of it after the fact! Not worth it.

Of course, my sunburn is completely by accident (and possibly my stupidity). I adore the spray-on lotion I have, but failed to see the flaw in my plan when I applied it on the back deck in the wind. So only certain, very random parts of my body got burned. Then today, on our second outing, I figured out that SPF 15 lotion doesn't exactly cut it for someone like me. How do I know? Today, unfortunately, is when I got my lovely all-over burn. Again I seem to have missed certain crucial spots, like my very lower back, but even the spots I covered are burnt. Which completes the just-cooked-lobster look I was definitely not going for.

Other than that, my weekend was incredibly enjoyable. I got my margarita, my sun, and my relaxation. And now I'm off to reapply my aloe, ease into my bed very carefully, and pump up the AC so I can actually get my body temperature down a little bit. Man, I hate sunburn.
