I am a DIRTY, ROTTEN, HYPOCRITE




That's right.  What an objectionable human being I am.  I worked hard, hard, hard all winter and spring to preserve the snow like fairness I enjoy so much.  I hid from the suns damaging rays.  I hid under tree's during recess duty, sat under beach umbrella's and took a job that kept the UVA out of my life.  Then the beach came.  I burned.  Then day camp came and while talking about how I had skin cancer to some other counselors I let my knees burn!  Burn, burn, burn!  I feel the inferno on my skin as we speak.  I can imagine the little cancerous growths bubbling up!  Jen (Oh wise and mighty lifeguard) counseled me to reapply my sunblock.  How do I repay her?  With sun burn.  I kind of miss my deathly pallor.  It suited me.  I felt comforted by the fact that my skin reflected light to become it's own light source.  No more!  

Another matter of vanity:  I have been doing the Lauren Conrad side braid.  It's trendy and I don't do it particularly well-but it's such a good way to spice up your hairdo!  It makes me feel uncomfortable that I love it, but I do.  And maybe when I wear that trendy side braid in my hair I will also wear my "Team Lauren" vintage Hollister tee.  (I don't really own one of those)

Vain observation number three:  My husband hates my sunglasses.  He says I look like a bug and that they are ridiculous and unnecessary.  I like them, they make me feel like a celebrity who has to hide the majority of their face from paparazzi.  I like looking like a praying mantis-so sue me! 

And that's all the vanity I have in my right now.
