Someone forgot to tell me that it only takes 15 minutes for a sunburn to form in California

Getting ready yesterday before the session we looked out the window to see it was slightly overcast. I figured the sun would come out later, but i was like 'well we won't be in the sun THAT much, so i should be ok without sunscreen.' Now it wasn't that i was too lazy to put it on, it was more the fact that Abram had told us that we could go to starbucks if we were showered and ready by 8:15. Now anyone who remotely knows me knows that i when an oppurtunity rises to go to starbucks, i'm the first one on the bus. I'm sure my mom is not suprised by the fact that i risked sunburn for a tall vanilla latte...Now as my mother and father read this i'm sure that they are saying, "Becky, why didn't you just take it with you and put it on in the car?" Well mom and dad, i'm pondering the same thing.

At first the sun burn was just on my knees and my right arm, but one we got back o the hotel i looked down and noticed that my sunburn had spread down my legs and onto the tops of my feet. Not only that but its only on the right side on my legs so the left side of my shins are still blindingly pale, a nice contrast to the lobster red(well really more like baby pink. Of course i have already scrapped up one of my feet, so as if the scraps didn't hurt enough, the sunburn burned over top. Let's just say shaving my legs this morning wasn't the most comfortable feeling in the world.

So much for tanning in California, my aloe gel has become my new best friend...
