Ow! Second day on vacay and what do i do? Straight up BURN myself! Y' know, i'm thinkin, why bother with the sunscreen thing? I go out for hours at a time in the sweltering blistering heat in a parking lot four days a week for marching practice and NEVER get burned...and sometimes we go IN the stadium...which we all know is really a huge oven that time of day...fo sho...and on those first few Fridays before we put the whole uniform on, at the games when the sun is just beginning to set, i NEVER get burned...EVER. So, sun screen is sticky and cold and smells funny, so i'm thinking...no way! But somehow, i forget that WATER pretty much DOUBLES the intenseness of the UV rays...so we go swimming and i BUUUUUURNED! Ow! Made for an interesting rest of the week...so now it still hurts kinda, but not NEARLY as much and i'm shedding LOL...which is kinda gross, but kinda cool too LOL...in a wierd sorta way :P
So I used that sun-in stuff like i did two summers ago or whenever i did it...it all kinda blurs together...but it didn't do too well b/c it doesn't work when you're swimming :P so i'm not blonde, but i'm working on redhead :D yaaaaaay! :D
Well, my fourth of July didn't go so well...the fireworks were awesome and all :D veeeeery tite...but i guess i would've enjoyed it more with my mom OUTSIDE of the ambulence :( no fun no fun. She tripped and had a lil accident b/c the genious East Texas ppl decided it would be cool to leave these two posts about 10 feet apart from each other attatched by this WIRE running along the ground with ABSOLUTELY ZERO LIGHT :( LOL it was funny tho...the cops on bycicles (sp?) came by and saw my mom and started yelling at the Jaycees (the ppl in charge of the whole firework gig)telling them how stupid they were...LOL it was a happier moment during the night :/
i had hoped to work out a lil and do some tennis and mess, but i didn't get around to doing a whoooole lot to get in shape...i did gain a lil wait during the week but it sure wasn't from the muscle i was hoping i would get LOL...it was from the brownies and fudgesicles i ate sitting in front of the TV in my pajamas at 1:00 in the afternoon LOL :D wow, no joke, i must've watched more TV this week than i have in the last year and a half =0 noooo joke! LOL we had cable so my mom (who was housebound for the rest of the week b/c of her lil accident) watched those makeover shows...good grief, you name it, they make it over - people, houses, cars...my BROTHER on the other hand watched that American Chopper series *gag* although one episode was entertaining enough, seven of them in a row will make you want to throw yourself out a window. :/ (a one story window of course!)
among other things, i thought i lost 40 dollars =0 but it turned out that they were just hiding out in a fold in my jeans pocket...grrrr! So i got to swim, play tennis, sit around and watch mindless TV shows, and PUTT PUTT (a REAL sport when played with your crazy volleyball psycho blonder than blonde cousin :D) and i hiked through the woods and fought this ginourmous SPIDER!!! =0aaaaaah! lol...and the last day i got to go horseback riding :) it wasn't one of those loser trail rides tho LOL it was like an hour and i even got to break in to a GALLOP :P w00t! LOL and the leader guy was a REAL COWBOY! no joke! not one of those dimestore guys :P he lived on a ranch, had a super east texas accent (said words like 'thang' LOL) and the hat and boots and had country music playing in his lil office LOL :D speaking of which...i haven't heard so much country music since I left Georgia (the first time LOL) AAAAAH it was EVERYWHERE!!! :/ lol so i have a new 'appreciation' for it now...maybe not so much 'appreciation' as 'tolerance level' LOL :P heehee...then on the way home, we stopped in Tyler/Whitehouse which is where i used to live (back in the day :P) and since i was 8 years old at the time and hadn't been back since...everything was SOOOO SMALL!!! lol...my old school and our house and everything was so little! LOL...i guess i just grew a lil LOL. So we got to take a trip down Memory Lane :P LITERALLY LoL...the street we used to live came right off of another street called Memory Lane...:D HA!
