Best. Sunburn. Ever.

[constance]

Okay, so today was one of my swimming days. I was there a little longer than usual today, and only applied my sunscreen once, so I did expect to be a little pink, as indeed I am, tonight, across my shoulders, the tip of my nose and chin and across my cheekbones. But I did forget one spot on my body, and man I am lucky I have bangs, because my face right now, delicate pink until you get to my forehead which is a painful-looking purply-pink, would otherwise be a sight to behold.

May I recommend Coppertone Sport as a sunscreen? It's the closest thing to a genuinely waterproof sunscreen I've ever seen -- so much so that if I put an SPF 60 lotion on my face and their SPF 30 (the highest SPF, as far as I've been able to determine, that they make) on my body, I still get more sunburn on my face if I go swimming.

If you get more rain-free weekends, that is! I'll wish some up for you -- or you can send the rainy weekends my way, because my grass is getting silvery and I could use the rain.

And you know, that's an excellent point about a teacher's potential craving for adult conversation. I live alone too, and get pine-y for adult voices sitting home alone all day, and sitting with seven-year-olds all day and only dogs (much as I adore them) all night, with nary a grownup in sight: I have to say that this is the best argument I've gotten so far against becoming a teacher. Definitely something to think about.
