Got sunburned at the fair on Saturday ’cause I thought it was gonna be cloudy and cool all day and it wasn’t. My shoulders are the worst, followed by my chest and back. Face is fine ’cause my face lotion has SPF 15 … I even brought my regular sun lotion home, was just stupid and didn’t think I’d need it. Now doing anything with my arms hurts, especially sleeping and getting dressed, and don’t think I’ll make it to the gym for a couple days either Oh yeah, and I can’t use the shoulder strap on my purse, so I have to carry it (kinda like my dad who defeats the purpose of a backpack by never actually putting it on his back lol). The redness hasn’t subsided as far as I can tell, and even though I don’t really like that blue aloe vera sunburn relief gel, I’m thinking I’ll get some anyway — who knows, I might find a brand I like.

Besides the sunburn, the fair itself was pretty cool. First we saw Sister Hazel, who I’d seen at the fair 4 years ago with Brad and Erica. Brian didn’t like them for some reason, but they played all the songs I knew plus some brand new ones, so that was cool. After that we wandered around the booths, watched a martial arts demonstration, won a stuffed clown fish/Nemo from a dart game (where Brian yelled at the staff for a few minutes ’cause it cost $40 to win an extra large prize … they eventually let him have it for $20), went on 4 rides (ferris wheel, “Flying Bobs,” swings, and the “Fire Ball”), saw the petting zoo pack up their animals (aww to the llamas, camel, mini goats, and baby ducks/chickens), wandered around the booths again, ran into Brian’s dad and his friend at the government center, watched the fireworks, and concluded with a concert by Scott Norris (who Brian liked way more than Sister Hazel).

Didn’t do anything on Sunday besides play the Sims 2 (I figured out how to woohoo in bed!) and recover from the fair … today will most likely be the same
