I feel your pain, Ish- literally. tongue I acquired my own sunburn yesterday and today. Yesterday it was because I suck at getting my entire back with sunblock, so I had one random patch of really bad sunburn and a whole bunch of light sunburn. Then today after church we went out to eat at an outdoor courtyard, and so my shoulders got burned again. One of these days I'm going to learn that I'm just going to have to make sunscreen a part of my everyday routine if I intend to spend any time outdoors.

Trying to convince myself to work on my resume. Since, you know, I'd like to be working again shortly after my current job ends. doh! Silly layoffs, making me do more work...

That sucks, DWH - the sunburn and the layoffs.

I've never gotten sunburn...
...then again I usually put on sunscreen when I go outside for a long time...

I come from good ol' Irish/Scottish/British/Norse stock and have fair skin that burns very easily. Sucks, but blame all my irresponsible ancestors.

I feel sorry for ye, Ish.

I guess I'm lucky to be a Mexican-American, I don't have to go outside to get a tan. happy

Although I can still get sunburned...
...living in San Antonio, I probably will. We're on Stage Three level restrictions. I bet people here would probably be thankful for a frakkin' hurricane!

Stage-three restrictions? Is that water restrictions?

So far no hurricanes, which is mighty good for this place. I was in the yard and got my 5-minutes maximum of sun since I was wearing shorts and no sleeves. I only wear that inside; otherwise it's long sleeves and long pants, which is uncommon in Florida. Not only am I Scot/Irish/British descent, I'm an albino on top of that. It doesn't get any whiter than that.

LOL, when I was a missionary, I worked only with the Spanish-speaking population in my area of California. One of the other missionaries I worked with was from Sonora and she used to say that I was a bleached Mexican because I liked my food spicier than her and I spoke Spanish fluently.

I love the sun, I love hot weather, and my skin is too pale to enjoy it. Not fair! My shoulders are currently peeling.

I really need to learn how to say no to dairy products. sad I was at a friend's birthday party and I ate the best tasting ice cream cake in the world... only to have to leave early to come home and throw up. I have temporary lactose intolerance due to a nasty bout of food poisoning, but I'm only prolonging it with my ice cream addiction.

Yeah. I hate it. It's funny, cuz at church they're all praying for gentle rain, and my dad's like, "gentle?" Cuz it's all dry. The last time it rained was the day MJ died, and that was only for a few minutes.

Ish, that's funny about the bleached Mexican thing, cuz at first I thought you were a Mexican! laugh

Berry, that sux about the lactose intolerance. If I was unable to have ice cream, I'm not sure what I would do. sad

I feel you there Berry. I'm totally lactose intolerant as of a few years ago and still love ice cream way too much. Though, if you get yourself some lactate pills, you should be able to handle a small bowl of ice cream.

Lately, I've been exploring dairy-free ice cream substitutes. Rice Dream is really tasty, Oats Cream is kind of strange and nutty but still good, Sorbet is totally safe and tasty, and then there's soy ice cream... though I haven't tried that yet. Soft serve, since it has more water in it, is easier to handle than hard-packed ice cream too.

Mmm... It makes me want a bowl.

I had soy cream the other night. It was surprisingly delicious! Then again, it was from Trader Joe's, and food from Trader Joe's is laced with happiness or something. tongue

If by "happiness" you mean "crack", then yes, I completely agree.

4th of July in LA is totally lame. We can't even set off our own fireworks! I thought the whole point of July 4 was to get together with your family and friends to blow stuff up. not_talking


I've completely given up on ever expecting anything interesting out of LA for the fourth. Which is annoying to me, because Pittsburgh is practically the most fireworks-crazy city on the eastern seaboard. So this year, I took my vacation around July 4th and traveled back home. But I seriously don't get it. LA is the worldwide home of spectacle and showmanship, but they're absolute bollocks at fireworks.

It sounds like LA should contract out all of their celebrations to the stunt doubles and special effects wizards.
