Always wear sunscreen. Thats my lesson. It all started at the lake. Some friends and I decided we wanted to go jet skiing and boat riding. So of course we went. While figuring out how to get the jet ski started a few of us decided to go ahead to the swim part. Forgetting the sunscreen in the car of course. About 30 minutes into swimming the boat came round and we were told that there was an accident. I guess the trailer wrapped around and swung into the truck and left a giant dent in it. also the jet ski got smashed as well. So all in all it was a lovely time at the lake. But while we were swimming in the water we had a conversation about tanning. It was decided we would be waist deep in water and stand there so we could tan. Well, there was not enough time to tan so we talked on the way back about how to get tanned. Spray on tan was out of the question. No one wanted to be orange. Laying out under the sun was a good idea and going to a tanning bed was a possibility as well.
So, this morning while still having thoughts of tanning on my mind, i decided it to be a good idea to lay out under the sun. of course not even thinking about putting on sunscreen. So i grabbed my ipod, a blanket, and my sunglasses and headed out the back door (the dog trailing behind me). a good time was an hour I thought. 30 minutes on one side and 30 on the other. I wont burn that way. An hour later i went inside smiling (and dripping sweat) to take a shower and look at my new awesome 'tan'. I had to laugh because on my back was the outline of the string to my bathing suit! i look like a present from behind!! Well, earlier this evening i lifted my shirt again to look at it and wait..... its not a tan. its a SUNBURN!!
