I am now a lizard
Except not really. I went to the Carribean for my family reunion. Thanks to my 2 jobs and total lack of motivation, I was about the color of blank computer paper. As of day two of the trip, I was crispy fried. I'm just now peeling on my back. Other areas are looking quite tan, though! [By quote tan, I mean that there is the possiblity that my skin will show up when next to a cream tablecloth. I'm Polish and Irish, people, this IS tan!]
Anyway, vacation was a blast - kayaking, snorkelling, jetskiing, a coastal hike, ice skating, swimming until well beyond pruny, and crispifying, er, tanning.
Now that I'm back, have some insane news that I found weeks ago but never posted because I'm severely lacking in timliness.

(AP) Bad dog. Charlie the black lab drove his owner's car into the Pend
Oreille River. As Mark Ewing walked home Wednesday evening after
returning from picking up a pizza, Charlie jumped into the car through
an open window, and apparently knocked the vehicle into gear.
"He somehow got the car into neutral," Ewing said. "My car just went
boom, down an incline and into the drink."
Ewing could only watch as his Chevy Impala sank into the river. No
dummy, Charlie jumped out of the window as the car went downhill.
"There's nothing weirder than looking at your car cruising down your
driveway when you're not in it and seeing your dog jump out and then
watching your car go splash," Ewing said.
Actually, things got a little weirder when the tow truck driver showed
up.
Before the driver dove into the water to hook the car up to his truck,
he asked Ewing to hold his dentures.
"My car's in the drink, I've got dentures in my hand and this guy Keith
... goes swimming," Ewing noted.
