Caught in the Shade

I need to give a shout out to Mary (also known as techtch from team C).  She caught me today standing in the shade. I was waiting in line to go into one of the houses in the Pillars House Tour. There was sun everywhere and this little patch of shade under a tree, so of course I was under the tree.  Thanks for catching me and calling me on it.  Maybe tomorrow I will work on my tan.

A Day at the Beach

In my quest to get a tan I went to a friend's house in Michigan and spent the day on the beach. As background info you should know that I burn very very easily and in my younger days have had to go to the emergency room several times due to horrible sun burns. Based on that info I decided to go at this very slowly. I used an umbrella and a an SPF 70. The good news is that I did not burn. The bad news is that I was so worried about burning that I ended up looking as white and pastey as I usually look. The word pastey came up as misspelled so I looked it up in the urban dictionary and here is what it said
pastey
being so white that you reflect light or temporarily blind people.
damn, her legs be so pastey that I have to wear UV sunglasses whenever I get within a 5 mile radius.

Adventures in Getting a Tan

I have decided yet again to try to get a tan this summer.  My current status is "walking death" white. I realize the dangers, but I still want to achieve this goal. I have never actually had one. I plan to proceed slowly. I will post pictures of my progress. 

Power

I feel a sense of power. I now am now following several blogs and I have created my own. This summer ought to be very interesting and very busy as I continue this. 

The Beginning

I am taking a class called Web 2.0 and one of our assignments is to create a blog. I have now created it, but now I need to figure out what I would like to say.
