A little dull today...more like a little red...

I have lived in California my entire life (21.5 years)...I have gone to the beach countless times...yet, today, I must have left my common sense at home!

When you are laying in the sun, it is very important to roll over every 20 minutes or so, not fall asleep while you are relaxing...and it is very important to apply sunscreen evenly...

Yeah.

My back, and the back of my legs (as well as half of the front of my legs...don't ask...it looks so tacky!!), are like a LOBSTER! I cannot believe it. I broke one of the cardinal rules of beach going! I fell asleep while listening to the wonderful sounds of the Pacific Ocean...granted, it wasn't for very long, but I didn't roll over and now I am red. Amazing. If it doesn't peel, I'll have a great tan in a few days, which will be nice, especially on my perpetually white legs. LOL. Yeah, and now my new dress will look good because I'll be tan...IF it doesn't peel.

So, take the advice of a born and raised California girl--don't allow yourself to become so relaxed while at the beach! You may fall asleep, causing a great deal of pain later.

Sigh...I'm not the sharpest crayon in the box today--I'm a little "dull"...at least it was a great day, very relaxing, with the roomies...which was much needed. :)

I am a lobster...:(
