Summer has officially begun. In the past three days, I have unpacked most of my stuff (I am still amazed at how I could fit so much stuff into my tiny campus apartment!), become a part-time lumberjack, got my first sunburn of the summer, and successfully started on my golfer's tan. I know, I know, you're just as excited about the golfer's tan as I am, right? :)
My dad and Pam live out in the country part of town, and there are a lot of trees around their home. Well during one of the recent storms, one of these trees (a big'un) fell onto their land and has gotten in the way of their mowing (as my dad said). So I went out there yesterday and they were working on cutting it apart. I got to help. It was super exciting. Okay, maybe not super exciting. I just moved the small logs as they cut them. I did do some climbing as well, put my monkey side to good use. My dad threw a saw at me...it was quite a crazy moment! I'm still not sure what he was thinking...thank goodness I jumped back though, that's all I know!
My dad and I went golfing this afternoon. I put on 50 SPF sunscreen and still managed to get burnt. Of course, I never get a smooth sunburn...I get splotchy sunburns. So my arms have a zebra look to them. The tops of my shoulders are burnt, then it's white, then it's red. Tonight I golfed again and got some more sun. The backs of my legs are rather red. I'm so excited to not be so ridiculously white anymore that I am okay with this slight burn. And I got my golfer's tan started - favorite part of summer! :)
