It is the official start of dress weather. The day started out in the upper 50s but even that could not stop me. As soon as I woke up, basically dragging myself out of bed, I realized that I had to wear a dress today. A summer sundress just makes everything so much better. Even though I am tired beyond belief because of my roommate’s inability to be quiet when she gets up, I feel better just wearing a dress. I always feel so feminine and pretty. It makes even my crunched-up, super overscheduled days feel okay. Well, sort of.
Along with dress weather comes tanning weather. I have a special place in my heart for hours spent hanging outside soaking up the sun. My friend suggested that we go to a tanning salon. I told her I could not be subjected to a cancer box. I mean, if I’m going to die from skin cancer, I don’t want it to be from lying down in a sterile box. I would rather have enjoyed it. Excuse me right now for sounding shallow and very much like the sorority girl I am. On the other hand, you could be like my roommate. She has spent these past few days dousing herself in Jergens sunless tanner. It is a good thing to use but she is very pale. It is not helping her. And then there is the fact that it smells like cheap hair dye. Then she spends about an hour sitting in our closet waiting for it to dry. Yes, she sits in the closet. Keeping my shoes and dresses hostage.
I am going to prepare for this Friday afternoon of reclining on the lawn and getting a real life tan. It’s only April but hey, I’ve got to be ready for May.
I am with you, girlfriend. I love wearing dresses and I believe in getting a REAL tan. Of course, that’s easy to say when one lives in Florida as I do. -Kathryn
