Erica, you're glowing!

This is what my neighbor says to me this morning as I am picking her kids up for school. No, I'm not pregnant and it's not my glowing personality. It's a nasty sunburn. You would think I would learn after oh, 30 years worth of sunburns. But no. Taylor had her 5th grade barbeque and pool party yesterday so I went, thinking I won't be out too long so I'll be fine. After all, I was only out in the direct sun for 1 1/2 hours. Anyway, I need a little color other than pastey white. Well, I got color all right. Lobster red and lots of pain to go with it. My shoulders are screaming at me, and to top it off, Jeff took the big bottle of Advil with him to Santa Rosa. I have aloe vera, but that stuff never helps like I wish it would.
So, it looks like I will be wearing tank tops for the next week or so. Pretty soon I'll have more freckles to add to my already freckle covered shoulders. I guess it's ok to admit that sunscreen is my friend and it needs to hang out with me more often in the summer.
