Mythbusters!

Yesterday was just one of those days, where I had to pinch myself - WE LIVE HERE!!!! Got up early, went to Jolene's body sculpt class, did some running, then went to the beach with the girls. So fun! Laying on the beach for 2 hours makes me a) never want to work again, and b) not start school next week (ahhh!!!!). It was absolutely beautiful out - great breeze, great company, and huge scary waves that kept me far far far from the water.

So - big mythbuster (drumroll!!): you CAN get sunburnt here!! I was fairly convinced (4 months in) that if you wear any sort of sunscreen you won't get burnt. FALSE!! I've been going to the beach a few times a week and wearing my trusty SPF 15 oil (and of course 30 for my face), but ran out of 15 last week. Now, keep in mind we don't have a target, CVS, Walgreens, Walmart, etc here in Guam, and Kmart, BX and gas stations only sell SPF 2, 4, 8, 30, 50, 80. No 15!! Anywhere! So I went for the SPF 8. Oops. Once I put on 11 layers of makeup I have a healthy "glow." Again, oops....

Heading to the base library now (out of the sun) to try and see if they have any of my books for class so I can get a head start on my reading. Big night tonight - it's all you can eat Mexican/all you can drink Margaritas for $20 at Planet Hollywood.... GET EXCITED!
