Burned to a CRISP!


The weather was in the 70s on Saturday, so I went with Eric to the soccer games he was refereeing. You better believe I was soaking up the sun! I sat on a blanket, pulled out a book, pulled my pants up to my knees... and basked in the sun :) I also wore a tank top so I could get as much sun as possible.


When we left the park I commented, "I hope got some sun today."


While I was still in my car driving home, I realized I was burned. All day Saturday I took the stance "I've never been happier about a sunburn!" I'm thrilled to get a little sun, and excited to watch it turn from burn into tan. Hopefully it will give me a decent base to work on for the rest of the summer.


However, today I feel slightly different. I didn't sleep well last night because I couldn't roll onto either shoulder. Every time I move an arm I ache. When I flex my ankles, I cringe at the feeling of stretching skin on my shins. As I walked down the hall this morning, I thought... OH NO! With every step I can feel the crispness of the burn!


Bring on the aloe. This Saturday is suppose to be near 80 degrees and I need to work on my backside :)
