Summer?

Good news! Yesterday I FINALLY got to go boating. I have been craving some boating since I left for school last August probably. The water has been so ridiculously high and the weather so ridiculously ridiculous, that we haven't had a chance to get the boat out once this year, until yesterday. I'm pretty sure that my boat on my river is one of my happiest places. It really doesn't get better than that. The water is FREEZING right now, because we haven't had enough hot days to warm it up. It's mostly just freshly melted snow. Brrr! I wanted to wakeboard so bad yesterday, but I had no desire to get in that water. Especially after everyone else screamed when they jumped in....not encouraging. I eventually did strap my wakeboard on and jump in though. And yes, I screamed too. It was cold. Once I got up on the wakeboard, it was all worth it. I love doing that soo much! The water was kind of rough because it was a little windy, so I didn't do too much on the wakeboard, but it was still great. The rest of the time was spent lying out on the boat soaking up the sun. I didn't actually put any sunscreen on until after the burning had already taken place. I didn't really think it was that bad until I was home later that day. I am FRIED!!! Mostly my legs. I can't complain too much though because it is totally my fault. I am pretty bad when it comes to putting on sunscreen. I have been so pale for so long that I really just wanted some sun. I knew that I would probably get burned, especially since this is the first time all year that I have really gotten some sun. But I knew that the burn would turn into a tan in a few days, so I just let it happen. Am I now regretting that decision? Yes, I am. Have I learned my lesson? No, I probably haven't. This has happened a zillion times and I never change. I deal with the pain and peeling for a few days and then am happy to be a little bit tanner than I was before. After I got home from boating,I watched a video someone had posted on facebook about skin cancer. That's what you call ironic. I definitely don't want cancer, so maybe I will try to be a little more careful, though it may be too late for that now. Wow, this is a super rambly post. Sorry. Mostly I am just glad that summer is finally making an appearance, even if it did wait until I was working all day every day to do so. Rude.
