I don't like lobster

No sir, I don't like lobster. Yet somehow I managed to make myself look like one today.

It all started with the sun peaking out this morning, when it was originally supposed to be rain all day long. With the pending job offer still in the waiting mode, I thought it definitely worth my time to take advantage of my free time while I still have it to get some color. So I put on my bikini top and my shorts and headed out back to lay out in the sun. I took my phone with outside so I could appropriately time 20 minutes per side, then head back in the house. I hate sweating and laying out in the sun, without water, almost always means sweat...yuck. So here I thought I had it perfectly planned. So when I came back in side after my 40 minute total tan...I was not completely surprised that I had absolutely no color on my skin except for my face being a little red (my face always get really red). I was not worried...I figured I would have a few more opportunities to tan later in the summer. So 4-5 hours later....I was pleasantly surprised to realize my skin was now a pinkish color post shower...soon to be a hopeful tan. Ugh....by 9pm....my skin was itching and as red as a lobster. My mom is convinced I got sun poisoning on top of getting burnt....this is so poopy. I've never burned this fast in my life...I mean I am used to burning. I do it every summer, but never ever have I burned this fast before. It usually takes either a few days in a row of laying out for 40 minutes each day or laying out for 2-3 hours straight. But aside from the slight itching....I am thankful to say it does not hurt at all. (Knock on wood)


Stupid, naive me....lesson learned is always wear sunscreen because you should never underestimate the sun + your body's reaction.
