I've also been whining about my sunburn while my extremely pale mother tells me that it's not a real sunburn, it's just that my skin is slightly pink.

I totally do that. And actually, I got to see it in action when a similarly-colored coworker got a "burn" that actually looked like a nice tan.

I feel dirty, and not in the good way.

If it makes you feel any better, I'm wearing my new merlot shoes (AIFG).

They were talking about that criminalsearches.com site on the radio this morning, and apparently, it is notoriously inaccurate, in that it adds convictions to those who are innocent, or doesn't list ones for felons who've served time.

Then why call it a burn? Did it still hurt?

I totally overgorged on the lemonade and feel awful. And my stomach is making rumbly noises. Very professonal.

YAY.

I'm going to have to return the peekaboo shoes-- they do weird things to my toes.

oops, funny how the day can get away from you--I mean from me. Called a plumber on a neighbor's rec and he came right away(!) AANNNND he didn't charge too much(!). I think we found a new plumber. That's my news for the day.

But that's not why I came to b.org. I came to say that my Trashy Diva dress just arrived and it's very stylish but I kind of wish I had followed my instinct about how it would look on my figure. My wee C-cups don't do the dress justice, I need, er, double Ds to properly fill out the bust on the dress. Oh well.

From the criminalsearches.com site:

Some states include minor traffic offenses in the data that we receive; however, these people might not be actual criminals.

Wait, what? I mean, yay! I'm not a criminal!

Yeah, I looked up two people I know, one a definite convict, one a probable one, and neither came up.

Then why call it a burn? Did it still hurt?

Yes, it still hurt. And I guess it was a slightly pinker brown than she would have liked to be, but really it looked fine.

I sometimes wonder what it would be like to be the kind of person who tans and who can therefore distinguish between getting some sun and getting too much sun. I have never ever had a tan ever, but I've had a few sunburns.

Ceiling has stopped dripping.

I think I am going to eat my fill of peach ice cream once mac goes to bed.
