Ewww 0530, that's what time I have to get up, err, well, it's when my alarm goes off… no comment

I was once told that freckles are "ultra sexy", I've clung to that ever since Welcome to the club, glad you're over the worst.

I'm doing pretty well After working part time at my job for a year, waiting to for a full time slot to open, it's finally happened!! I may be working nights though, yikes! But, I've done it before, I'll do it again.

I'm starving right now, I don't know what I want to eat, but I think I might be willing to steal this little guys dinner:



But! I should probably try and get my own grub, wish me luck!



(note: Just in case anyone is concerned about the kitty, I read that it dropped onto a terrace just below, and wasn't injured)

Sorry I've been MIA! I'm not used to working 12 hour shifts every other day.. and waking up at 5:30 every morning.

I'm doing okay.. having a bit of a legal problem, meh. On the bright side, my burns have gone down to 1st degree and are healing quickly.

I'm becoming so freckled; especially on my nose and cheeks! I love getting freckles.

How are you doing, my lunar twin?

@R1g "Sombrero", lol! That sounds so cute! Good to hear your daughter's on the mend. I always h a t e d the peeling stage, 'specially on my face

Your complexion sounds like my dad's, he gets more and more brown through the summer. "Twister in the sunshine"

Growing-up, I always envied my friends whenever they would lay-out in the sun and tan,

words fail me

my girl is peeling now but not in pain. just a little strange and patchy looking LOL.

i have the opposite problem yielding similar results cos i go brown almost visibly as soon as sun hits my skin. consequently, i start the year with a really tanned left arm cos i have it out the car window when i'm driving plus i get any straplines from whatever i'm wearing during sunlight hours lol. if i do ever sunbathe, i have to negotiate myself into a strange yoga position to get the less brown bits browner. kinda like playing twister in the sunshine. hate it. everything's a different shade of brown. quite frankly, i wish i could just be pale and interesting instead. i'm gonna start wearing a sombrero.

Thanks guys.

Swimming - my Leeb father is a redhead with the most ruddy complexion! And damn those Leebs, of course he's dreadfully handsome and charming as well! You must have SPF 95+ handy!



Hey, high five for another redhead! And a charming & handsome Leeb *wolf whistles*

I used to use the high SPF stuff but it did something really freaky to my freckles (OMG I didn't mean for that to sound funny, hah, but I'm leavin' it as it is) anyway, my skin stayed white but my freckles got really dark Eh, call if vanity, but, the 10 SPF suntan oil works well, and I look more even, LOL!!

*sigh* fair skin a curse and a gift…

You sound better BTW, I hope you feel it!

Thanks guys.

Hope your Aries isn't still in pain, Rig.

Although, admittedly I've been shoving Scorpio away because it hurts so freaking bad. Phew, I'm a bit of a masochist but this is a bit much.. even for me. Called out of work twice. Mostly because I didn't want open wounds near 50 dogs, lmao.

Capgirl.. I am red with jealousy (tehehe!). I enjoy those loooonnnngggg naps after the sun too. My Cap mother and I both come home after basking in the light, drop our bags, and BARELY make it to the bed.. passing out. Best thing about Summer.. definitely the naps..

Aaahhh! Ouch! Sister moon hope it gets better quickly!

Let's see, red hair, freckles, oh yeah, I can burn just by resting my arm in the car window while driving! I mowed the lawn a couple of days ago, and like Rig's daughter, missed a spot with the sunscreen. My left knee, but it's only a bit rosy and warm

I used to blister a lot when I was a kid, and my shoulders were always the first and easiest to get it

Take care!

words fail me

my daughter (aries) burnt the backs of her legs yesterday really badly. you could tell where she had sunblock on the front of her legs and that she'd forgotten the back which was angry and red by the time she got home. i've got olive skin and very rarely burn but i always wear sunblock nevertheless. i had radiotherapy on my chest a few years back which caused some serious burns and i used almost pure aloe vera in a gel form on that as recommended by the hospital. i've bought it ever since to use for burns...particularly sun burn. i put some on the backs of my daughter's legs and it kind of creates a cooling film over the skin meaning that she was good to go out again last night for one of spain's biggest fiestas.

the one thing to watch out for when you get burned is that it can make you quite unwell and it can become sunstroke which is nasty. you need to take it easy while your skin's healing huntress. you poor thing. horrible innit.

i wonder if your scorp has suggested it's best for you to remain naked til it's all healed up

On Wednesday I forgot sunblock before work. 6 hours of direct sunlight during 95 degree weather with little shading.

Thursday night it had become apparent that the extensive sunburn was not only a burn... but was a second degree burn. I realized how serious it had become when taking a shower to rinse the wounds. I screamed the entire 2 minutes I rinsed my shoulders; I've NEVER felt pain like that before in my life. And it surprised me when my Capricorn mother handed me a Vicodin afterwards. She never would do that to be honest.

I have sun blisters on my shoulders - two have swelled and popped. I went to the ER for wound dressings.. they also gave me Vicodin too.

Needless to say.. this Insomniac has been napping all weekend with the Vicodin!


Any other Leos (or honorary felines) make that mistake before? Share the good, bad, and the ugly
