Sunburn
So here’s the thing about me. If I look outside when it’s sunny, I can get sunburned. This is not good for someone who’s about to spend the next week and a half in Florida!
So, I have my tubes and sticks and bottles of sunscreen all ready to go. I won’t wear anything less than an SPF 30, but here’s the other thing about my unnaturally pale skin - if I have any slightest sunblock on (even SPF 2) I will not get a spot of sun. Nothing=burn, A little bit=I might as well stay inside.
Another painful thing about me though is that I have never ever in my entire life managed to NOT miss a spot while I’m putting on the sunscreen. Yes, I am the queen of having bizarre-o sunburn lines.
So, sun worries aside, I’m just about ready to head off to Florida! I’ve got my lame-o hat and cool sunglasses (I’m hoping they balance each other out). Thanks to this weekends shopping trip I’ve got plenty of shorts and dug through my closet to find tank tops.
I’m ready to spend the next 10 days having fun in the sun! But…couldn’t it be just a bit cooler out?
But as I head off on vacation (I’ll be taking my laptop and I assume my friend has internet access - otherwise I don’t know if I can be her friend anymore - so I’ll be around the interweb) I ask this question: What’s the one thing that you usually forget when you go on vacation?

Hi Emma! Have fun on your vacation! :-) What do we forget? Hmmm, its never the same thing. Probably because the next time I’m so concerned about not forgeting that one thing, I forget something else!? :-)

I have actually forgotten to pack my son’s underwear on one occasion. Poor boy! His grandma did laundry every day, so it wasn’t a problem, but we were laughing.
I tried to eliminate bad tan lines with self-tanning lotion. Very bad idea. I looked like a pumpkin!
