I'm Toast

Spent the weekend at the lake with some friends. We had SUCH a good time. We finally got the boat out - I've missed being out on the lake. And the kids had a blast. Our friends have three and it was fun to watch them take turns "driving". Such a big deal.

It was the most relaxing weekend I've had in a while - I spent my time on the boat or napping. Or eating. That's about it. I may have spent a little too much time on the boat though - because I'm burnt! And no, I didn't put on sunscreen. Because I don't burn! Usually. I guess I need to stop claiming my Lebanese heritage prevents me from burning. I actually think this is about the third time I've gotten a little pink and each time I've said "But I never burn!". I don't know why, it's not like it's a source of pride - "Hey, check out my super awesome ability to block these UV rays. Cool huh? Yeah, I've been working on it for months!"

No, it's just literally hard for me to understand that I burn now. I went my whole life without sunscreen. My. Whole. Life. Days and days at Whitewater, days and days at the lake, days and days laying out - without a sunburn. Ever. I don't know if my skin has changed with age or if it's just because I'm not really a sun baby like I used to be...either way, I think I need to readjust and start with sunscreen.

It isn't super bad but it's on my shoulders - where my back was to the sun. It doesn't really hurt unless something is pressing into it. Like my bra.

Add that to the list of things that suck about being a woman...
