And today? I put it on, like, four times, so that’s like SPF whatever, right?
Be quiet. I am not in the mood to do the math.
I CAN do the math, I just don’t feel like it.
Oh, all right. SPF 180. Why do you always have to have your way?
So, anyway, I was saying I wore sun block. A lot of it. I suppose I should count my blessings that I’m not more burned than I am, if one were looking for blessings and all, but it’s hard to count yourself among the blessed when you have little blisters all over your skin and you look like a Ballpark Frank that has been left too long on the grill.
Here’s the thing - I was doing some planting in the yard yesterday, so I baked my furry blue body and singed off my fur in places. Then today, I was volunteering at The Boy’s school for their outdoor Track & Field Day events, where “volunteer” equals “guilted into showing up on the hottest damn day of the year.”
And now? I look like this...
...instead of this....
I find this troubling, don't you?
Furthermore, in a few days when I start molting and flaking and peeling and itching, I think it's safe to say there will be additional whining.

Ouch! See. That's why God created burkas.
If you didn't take a shower Sunday night, then by Monday you were up to SPF 270. (I haz math skillz 2.)
I'm not particularly troubled to tell you the truth, though it would be nice to watch you do some maths.
I'll just have to trust that your math is correct. I haz no maths skills....at all.
I hope you get better soon, because the pink one's really annoying. Seriously. That voice. I'm not sure I can take it.
What?? Somebody had to say it!
Sadly, your maths is way off the mark. A sunscreen that protects you from 90% of the rays is an SPF10, 95 % is an SPF20, 97% is an SPF33. So, can you see a pattern? The SPF factor skyrockets without much increase in actual protection.
Wear a hat.
Oh dear! I am so sorry that you have been fried. But I have to say, I think I would take the sunburn over brown patches!! Yikes! I put on sunscreen too and now I have brown patches all over my face...like giant freckles. My mom calls them age spots!! She would!
Ha!

This is why I fake 'n bake. To avoid the 3 days of misery you are now going to endure. Aloe Vera is your friend. Think of the nice tan you'll have when it's all over!
This pale faced sista feels your pain...literally. I am also sun-burnt. People have no idea what we gingers must put up with, do they?
Blognut- I'm traveling to Haiti in JULY! Can you imagine my skin there?I'm looking for an SPF 1000!
Ouch!

Sorry! Looking forward to some good whine!
That's a lotta sunscreen, babe. You're sure it isn't chemical burn?
I still think you'd look pretty cool as a Reddus Bloggus! ;) x
