/highfives Elmira/ Amen to that, sister. Sunscreen and clothing that covers, yet cools. It is what you get, and hope you don't roast anyways.

Llonka, I am not a fan of camping either. My grandmother once got me a pin that said "my idea of roughing it is a hotel with no room service".
I used to tan like a champ, but I think the depression and years of staying inside like the nerd I am have broken my melanocytes.

I want to go rock climbing!

I love camping myself (I've grown up outside - and staying in an RV or a cabin isn't camping - not to me... Give me a tent any day!), but I have to say, good for you for sticking up for yourself, llonka!

I burn HORRIBLY and then peal and I'm back to being my usual pale self. :/ I don't tan.

LOL! I could use that pin Steel. xD I love my A/C... though it wasn't terribly hot but still i'm sure it was buggy and I just don't like being outside very long.

I used sunscreen on Thursday when we went fishing, but the places i missed got burned. Figures..

Did you have some fun fishing in spite of the sunburn, llonka?

Yeah it was fun until I got hot. Thats when I know it's time to go, but hubby always wants to stay and stay and stay...

It is so humid where we live and the bugs are like predatory dinosaurs. Huge and pretty evil. If I still lived in a high desert area, I'd consider roughing it. But not while surrounded by poison oak/ivy and bugs.

Yeah, it's difficult to avoid heat if the water is reflecting light and heat back at you. Were you guys able to catch any decent fish?

*shares pin with llonka*
I used to really like fishing as a kid. But now I don't eat fish so I feel bad hurting something I'm not going to eat.

At our local fishing hole the fish are pretty small. I caught two channel catfish and two bullhead catfish. Hubby caught a couple catfish also, but also got a blue gill/sunfish that he brought home and put in a fish tank. :/ We have dry heat and wind here. In the shade is bearable, but out of the shade i'm cooked. I can't stand humidiy, and when it gets humid here I about die.

Steel- Ahh I can see that. It is kind of cruel.

Indeed. No reason to shove sharp metal bits in a fleshy mouth unless you're actually going to kill and eat the dang thing.

yeah I can't stand sport hunting. It's so needless. You kill it you eat it.

So very true.

I like your color combo Steel! Very nice!

Thanks llonka! I wanted to feel summery. :)

Oooh now you changed! I like that one too.

So hubby started talking about father's day last night, that it is coming up. I'm sure he will want to go out to eat, but you know what isn't fair? He getsto stay home all day and go out for supper but on mother'sday I always to go to some stupid crap his mom is doing. It's not fair!

Tell him that it isn't fair and that next mother's day you should be allowed to stay home and then go out to dinner as you deserve it!!

I did say something along those lines, but he didn't really say anything back. Story of my life.

Boys and I went to the library today and I checked out Fifty Shades of Grey. LOL. I'm on chapter three already and it's not naughty yet...

Awww, thanks llonka!

That sucks. Dad always tries to push mom into going to the thing the church puts on on Mother's Day. But they do it at like 8am. No mother wants to do things at 8am on Mother's Day.

I would say next Mother's Day, refuse to do anything, and make him do all the work and if he gets on your case, say that you deserve the break so you are taking it, so he can't say anything about it.

LOL I feel the same way. It seems like on Mother's day, we have all kinds of things to do, but on Father's day they don't do a damn thing!

That sounds like a great plan Cloud!

Ugh I dug in my ear and now it's feeling strange again. Why can't I leave it alone?!?!

Haha, it's hard to break habits, llonka. I had to learn to stop rubbing my eyes when I got my surgery done. It was SO HARD.

Ugh it is hard. I cause myself so much trouble by digging in my ears. :/

Just try to be aware of it. And maybe have your kiddos help. Every time they see mommy touch her ears, they have to say something.

Okay I could try that. It generally works with food, though Jacob just watches me eat whatever I told him to not let me eat.... :/
