another day off.
i had the weekend off again. yesterday, i spent the day trying to get things done. and today, i got to enjoy the sun. it's been overcast for a while so the sun came out and we (the dog and i) jumped in the jeep and headed to the beach.
cali, enjoying the sand
she's still terrified of the water. any water that sits still, she's pretty fine with. however, ocean water, that starts to move toward her, she panics. it's pretty funny actually. she seems fine and then she starts running backwards as fast as she can. people at the beach today were laughing at her. it was so great.
this is the result of being in the jeep and enjoying the sun. i was out for MAYBE an hour. and i have little lobster arms. the worst part, i was wearing a v-neck so it's just sad. i'm glad i have to wear crew neck shirts for work. hopefully this will fade before tomorrow.
this is one of the greatest things i've purchased since moving here. it's an aloe plant. i bought it at ikea. i love it. it looks cool and, when you're an idiot like me, and sunburn your arms and don't own a bottle of aloe or burn cream, it's your backup plan. i looked in the mirror, noticed how the red was getting redder and cut off a branch of the aloe plant. i love it. it's better than the bottled stuff. i feel bad for plucking a limb off the plant i love, but my arms feel better. who knew?

Better to pluck a limb off the plant than to keep feeling like both your limbs had been plucked off! You definitely DID get a bit of sun. I did the same thing when we moved to Florida. I took the top off the Jeep and it felt SOOOOO good! Then, a few hours later, I hurt SOOOOO bad! Now I carry sunscreen in the center console for just such days.
Did you want me to mail you some suncreen? Don't let Ryan see you damaging your skin. He will pull out the full arsenal of medical jargon, stories of patients with skin cancer, and probably some text book pictures as well...
needless to say, I would have been right out there with you my friend.
we always had an aloe plant when i was growing up. we used it mostly on me when i'd be stupid and touch something that was hot even after being told multiple times NOT to touch it because i'd get burned. anyways, i tried setting your blog as a live bookmark in firefox, but always says that your blog "failed to load" so i just go to ambercakes' blog cuz i know she has a link here. how lazy am i that instead of just making a regular bookmark, i instead go to a linked page to get here.
smooth move, lobster girl
Aloe is sort of like asprin. It's good for just about everything(except birth control and the st. vitus dance)but then I'm not really sure since I've used neither for either.It is great for sunburns though and minor cuts and abrasions. It's sort of a first aide kit in a pot. Great stuff.
