Half baked

After a rainy weekend and cool weather, it was finally nice this weekend. So I got my book, put on my swimsuit and went to the pool today.

I guess I was a little too excited about the prospect of a tan, because by the time I got home, it looked like I took a roller of red paint to my entire front. I am 28. I know better than this. I wore my sunscreen, I flipped over several times, I even had a hat on. It's just that I'm reading a really good book and kind of lost track of time.

Poor excuse. But I'm paying for it now as I lather on the aloe vera and wait for it to start peeling.

Lessons learned: Tanning is like drinking. I do best with moderation.
