TOTW (tip of the week)

WEAR SUNSCREEN
Last Thursday was our section retreat for work. It's basically like a day off (even though work is discussed) because we don't actually go into the office and we're usually done around 2 and then we can just go home. It was at my coworkers house and he has an awesome deck with an amazing view so we hung out on the deck the whole time. It was nice weather, definitely more cloudy than sunny, but warm and pleasant. I didn't even think about wearing sunscreen. Usually I'm pretty good about it because I burn very easily. So from 9-2 I was outside sans sunscreen. I ran a few errands on the way home, did some stuff around the house and made dinner. At about 7 I started feeling not so great. I can't really explain it, I just couldn't do anything other than just lay there. I hung out on the couch until about 8pm when I was ready for bed feeling completely exhausted. Karl got home from work at about 10 and walked into the bedroom. He sat down by me and was like "What's wrong with your face?" Apparently I had gotten sunburned and didn't even realize it, and boy was it a fabulous sunburn. It was only on half of my face with a raccoon eye from my sunglasses. Oh, and even the top of my head along the part line in my hair was sunburned. Awesome. I think I must have gotten sick from being in the sun and getting sunburned. Luckily the sunburn toned down quite a bit the next day. However that leads me to my current situation: peeling skin. Half of my face is peeling and sloughing off dead skin, real cute. And remember how the part line in my hair got sunburned? Well that is peeling too, so now I have dead skin dandruff.

I couldn't give this valuable tip without posting this song, especially since it was specifically for the awesome class of '99. It's a little long but it does have some other great advice in it and will probably make you smile.
