OK, so maybe I had forgotten just how intense the Texas sun can be. Today was my day to soak up the sun and get a wee bit of a tan on this otherwise white skin that hasn't seen the sun since late last summer. Jamie had to work most of the day and it was a sunny 95 degree day here so I took advantage of that and went to the pool. I slathered myself up really well with sunscreen and plopped down on one of the lounge chairs. I baked there for a good hour then came in for lunch. After lunch I trekked right back out to the pool to get even more rays. Jamie came home for work and joined me but by the time she arrived I had just about had enough sun for one day. I never can seem to get the lotion on my back very well so now my back is on fire. I can feel the heat radiating off of it. I had Jamie put some aloe gel on it tonight but it still feels hot and boy is it red. My face was pretty red too but apparently the sunscreen did its job everywhere else. My skin now has some color to it so I am no longer pastey white. I'd love another few days like this one... so nice. 95 degrees, all sun, slight breeze and only 7% humidity... WOW! Talk about perfect!
