I am a redneck. Literally.


After unexpectedly spending three hours in the 100+plus degree sun with no sunscreen, no shade, and no chance of going inside, I became red and white all over.


Being blessed with fair (aka "pasty, pasty white") skin, I burn more easily than anyone would expect. No one else I was with got even close to burned, and I got roasted like a marshmallow at girls' camp.

(Sadly, even though my legs are radiating heat right now, the burned portion actually looks normal in this picture.)

Luckily, a regimen of aloe, tylenol, cold water, and loose-fitting clothing has allowed me to sleep and wear more than underwear around the house.
