Warm sun... and my fair skin

I'm loving this warm weather. Lifts the spirits and all that cheesy stuff.

But the sun.

The sun and I have a complicated relationship.

Let me illustrate.

My position: Back to the sun

My attitude: Happy to be in spring weather

Yesterday at 4:00

Scene: In our kitchen

State of my neck: Quite red... a burn, in fact

Our conversation:

Me: Bryan, want to see what happens to us fair skinned people the first warm sunshine of the season? 

Bryan: HOLY COW! YOU'RE SO BURNED! YOU BURN SO EASILY!

Me: Yup. 

Bryan: You burn as easily as, as... um, I'm trying to think of a food that burns really easily. What foods burn easily? 

Me: Um, I don't know... nuts burn easily if you're toasting them in a pan on the stove.

Bryan: You burn as easily as nuts in a pan on the stove.

Me: Glad I could give you that analogy to use on me. 

Bryan: Anytime. 

Welcome to springtime. :)
