The Sun Will Come Out Tomorrow...

Fact 473: I have always and will always be a pale kid. 

The sun and I have a love/hate relationship that has caused me to put a hold on our friendship in recent years. I tend to only meet with him after I've caked on gallons upon gallons of sunblock. And even then it's the 95 spf that's meant for infants. I love the sun... I don't love the sunburn. The burns that cause my skin to change from fire engine red to eggplant purple. The sunburns that make me immobile for at least the next two to three days after. The burns that take forever to finally peel and be done with... only to repeat the process a week later. I have had a farmer's tan the majority of my summers... and it looks like this summer is going to be no exception. I try to stay inside till the sun goes down, but fact of the matter is that the sun will always come out tomorrow...
