Easter

Hannah and Tammy came over for dinner on Sunday. We had a fun little Easter together, as you'll see in my maiden Flickr photostream.

You might notice that both my skin and hair are now considerably dimmer than they were in my profile picture, which was taken during my lifeguarding days. Ah, the good old days of being tan and blonde and spending all day in the sun. I tell ya, that's really the only reason I miss lifeguarding. 'Cause I really don't miss screaming at rowdy kids and breaking up fights in the locker room. Damaged skin and hair just make you feel so alive, don't they? Alive and summery.

And now, having decided that I don't want leathery skin, melanoma, and dry, stringy hair when I'm 40, I'm resigned to a life of WHITE skin and dishwater hair instead. Ah, vanity. Fortunately there's always self-tanner and Sun-In to get me through the hard times.
