About those cookies...

...we polished them off last night. Sad. I made over 2 dozen! They are just THAT good.

So, it's summer. Definitely. And, apparently my lily white skin just doesn't respond to sunscreen anymore. On Memorial Day, we went to Jonathan's parents' house to go swimming with his niece and nephew. I had some spray sunscreen, SPF 70...no, I'm not kidding...shut up...at least I won't have wrinkles!...where was I?, from last year that I used. I thought it was still ok to use and it didn't expire until July. I burned. Badly. So, I figured that it just lost it's potency as it worked just fine the year before. When we went to Sam's the next weekend, I bought some new sunscreen. This time it was only SPF 55, but when I was younger, SPF 30 worked just fine! I tested out the new sunscreen this past Sunday when we went swimming...and I burned. Not as badly as last time, but I had more burn coverage this time. Basically, my legs didn't burn. And that was it. So, do you start burning easier the older you get? I didn't think we were swimming for that long...but maybe it was a couple of hours. And I put on the sunscreen before we even left our house, so it wasn't that it washed off immediately.

I guess I'm just doomed to look like an albino the rest of my life. At least I have the freckles that help give me *some* color.

Blame it on global warming! J/k! ;) I heard Bullfrog is a good sunscreen brand (based on what my Irish ex-bf told me).
