Gar, sunlight!

Not for the first time in my life, I bless sunscreen, & curse however it was that I missed random places while applying it--which means that although my Saturday beach excursion with the SU kids left me mostly still disturbingly pale, I have patches of lobster pink on my shoulders and back. Which would be okay--except that they itch like hell. Is this what a snake feels like?
Also, my wrists have been horribly sore, & painful when I try to bend them, because I played volleyball with bad technique.

Overall, a good day at the beach, I feel. This weekend there was also dinner with Elsa & The Life Aquatic and home-made sno-cones & sleeping in far too late & spending hours upon hours at the library, collecting possible plays for honors. That was exciting; I missed the library. (Although, my god, I still maintain that the new central branch is the most confusing maze I have ever been in.)


To round all this off, I found the most wonderfully amusing ad on gmail this morning...
