I wish everyone I know would read it - especially the young ones.<br /><br />I think my girls are finally starting to understand my paranoia with the sun thing now. If they haven't already read this post, I will make sure they do. We met some friends at Myrtle Beach on Saturday. The mom is my age/my friend. Her children are the age of my girls. Her children are also as fair skinned as my girls. Therefore, it made me happy when we got there and I suggested that they didn't have to get out of the pool to entertain us (we were on a balcony in the shade) - they could get back in the pool if they wanted to. But all of them said no, they had been in the sun quite long enough and wanted to get out. Smart kids.<br /><br />I look forward to many more of your anniversary posts - whatever anniversaries they may be.Mamafamiliashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04642279230675116567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5578299375433383985.post-26829621558687431342011-06-12T10:19:47.361-07:002011-06-12T10:19:47.361-07:00Ha, someone just recommended a David Wilcox song y...Ha, someone just recommended a David Wilcox song you to, of all people.<br /><br />I'd say we all probably got at least one or two really bad burns every summer when we were growing up. I've read that your chances of developing melanoma double if you've had a really bad burn before the age of 18. Doesn't this seem like it'd probably be everyone - even now days? We're very careful to use sunscreen with the kids but each summer it seems both girls wind up with at least one decent burn from defective lotion, being out too long, or not reapplying often enough when in the water.<br /><br />I hadn't heard from you since school let out so the beginning of this post scared me a bit. I thought maybe you had been back and received bad news. I'm thrilled to see it was, instead, an anniversary.Mr. Hass' Classhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01966423580619691843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5578299375433383985.post-13186772079104900012011-06-12T08:13:48.688-07:002011-06-12T08:13:48.688-07:00You're welcome.

Maybe we should all write one of these to remind ourselves how important immediate gratification isn't. <br /><br />Your likening tanning to cigarettes is welcomed. My sister often refuses to go out on the lake after 4 because "all the good sun is gone." I'm certain that she would never smoke a cigarette, so it seems ridiculous to me that she would cook herself. I so appreciate your sharing your experience from the other side of the tan.<br /><br />Also on a somewhat unrelated note, when you mention your bad boob job, David Wilcox starts playing his Boob Job song in my head. If you haven't heard it, look it up, it's excellent.Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04052647782617418115noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5578299375433383985.post-16768154083730453242011-06-11T18:09:30.541-07:002011-06-11T18:09:30.541-07:00This
