Let the sun shine.

Grace's wedding is in about three weeks!! Crazy! I've decided to get a tan so my pastey, pale white legs don't scare the guests . I've always kind of been against tanning beds but my gym has free tanning so I decided to try them out. First of all, the idea of lying in a closed in space makes me feel queasy and claustrophobic. Second, lying where some girl or guy had probably laid completely naked creeps me out. Third, I know if used repeatedly, it can cause serious skins problems. Thus, my first tanning experience was a tough one and the lady at CVS made it all worse. I went to CVS to buy tanning lotion with at least some SPF in it. I figured if I'm going to do this, I might as well use a little protection so it won't be so bad and I'll have a little peace of mind. I bought Hawaiian tropics dark tanning lotion with SPF 4 and took it to the counter to pay. The old lady jokingly said, "Trying to get a tan today?" and pointed to the overcast and cloudy sky. So I kindly corrected her and told her I was headed to the tanning bed. After hearing tanning bed, she lectured me for a good 5 minutes about how dangerous and bad they are while I tried to interject that this was the first time of only a few I would go. She didn't want to hear it, gave me an ugly look, stood there not ringing up my item, and almost refused to let me buy my lotion. I left and laid in the tanning bed squirming around and paranoid about how I was slowly dying. I hope the sun comes out soon.
