The Red Version Of Me Has Squinty Eyes, Too.

I'm typing from my favorite green chair. It's usually a welcoming abode of broken in softness and a procrastinator's dream.

Today, it feels all scratchy and itchy.

WHY? Because I devoured too many Rice Krispie treats in it on Saturday, and Snap, Crackle, and Pop and a few friends jumped ship and keep indenting themselves into my various body parts.

And...

Because I, the wisest of the wise, spent 6 hours at the beach yesterday without wearing any sunscreen.

Dummy. Me. Not you.

So, now I'm sunburned and red faced and when I look in the mirror, my eyes look all squinty 'cause my God-given chubby cheeks are 30% chubbier.

From the sunburn. Not the Rice Krispie Treats. Thankyouverymuch.

So, today, during the daily, mid-morning "trample on Mommy" session that happens at 10:02 'round these parts, I'm toast.

Burnt toast.

  4. Hi Sarah,

    Thanks for commenting on my blog too!

    I have a love/hate relationship with rice crispy treats. I LOVE them but I hate that I can't stop eating them until they are all gone.

  5. Oh Sar... I'm sorry! That is such a frustrating thing to experience.

    I remember burning myself when I was 7 mos. pregnant with Morgan. The next day I had to walk around the house gloobed up in Aloe and Solarcain with very little clothing on. And the blinds shut. I was a red whale. Not pretty.

  8. ouch! but i think you should have given us pictres =)

    can i ask... why, oh why, didn't you put on any sunscreen during 6 hours on a beach in the sun? i'm thinking that since you're smarter than that, there's a story there.

  13. Did I ever share with you the sunburn I had in high school? My mom gave me a relaxor pill to help me sleep. It ended up being a different kind of pill and I was up all night ling peeing. The trouble was my buns were so burned I couldn't sit down. Those awful bikinis. OUCH!

    This blonde haired, fair friend of yours totally feels for you. I've been sunburned way too many times in my life.

  18. It's so tricky since the sunburn doesn't seem that bad until HOURS later! Oh, Sarah, I'm feelin' for you. Remember spring break in CA when we were BOTH so burned we could barely stand to be touched and we wore baggy jumpers to dinner to avoid the pain of clothes?

    Thanks for your email....there's a lot going on with the house...I'll try to write back soon. love you
