Okay, you can go ahead and make fun of me: I used a tanning bed for the first time in my life yesterday. Ugh. Jane MADE me do it! Actually, I suppose it does make sense to get a little tan before going on our trip. I've made the mistake of getting burned to a crisp on the first day before, and it's not any fun. I want this to be an enjoyable vacation. But lemme tell ya... this tanning bed thing FREAKED ME OUT!!! I had asked a bazillion questions beforehand, but I was NOT prepared for the real thing. I've never had an MRI either, but I gotta think it's about the same. When I pulled the door down and hit the "on" button I felt like Michael J. Fox when he hits the guitar standing in front of that giant amp in
Back To The Future. BZZZZZZZZZZ!!! I think I burned my retinas - I can't even see your face! But I suppose I'll do it again. The things we do for love.
We also went to another camera seminar last night at Mitchell Books. This one was a little better than the first one, but I still felt stupid. They say they're going over the basics, but I just don't know the lingo. I suppose it's like a person coming to church for the first time. I need to remember that. Jane came home and put the training to use with our in-house model, so I'll include some of her pics at the bottom, or you can go to
her blog and see some too.
And did you see the Lunar Eclipse last night? It was awesome. It was just starting when we came out of class, and the night was so beautifully clear. We went out several times and froze our toes. Jane got this pic of it at about 9:30 pm.

You need those little eye covers they sell there. They're like a tiny pair of glasses with no arms. They have little holes in them with super dark shades in them, so you can see... light bulbs, I guess. Inquire within.
They might also come in handy if there's a SOLAR eclipse.
Does Bogey always roll his eyes like that when you try to take his picture? He's like "oh brother, they've got the camera out again."
Hey, you sound like you've been in one of those fry-daddies yourself! Yes, I had the little eye-coverings. Though we didn't buy them, they were in a jar - supposedly filled with disinfectant. I have no idea where my eye coverings had been before I used them. What if someone thought they were to cover something else??? Maybe I'll check on a welding helmet.
And, yes, this is Bogey's "I guess I need to at least act like I'm they're friend" look. He does this when we make him pose for pictures and when it's time to get his toenails trimmed (which happened right after the photo shoot). But then he gets a treat and he's happy.
1) hahahahahaha! You...in a tanning bed!
2) It was cloudy here, so I missed the eclipse :(. I kept going outside to see if there was a break, but after about 8:45...nothin' :/.
3) Good for you gettin' all buff for y'all's trip ;)...when is it?
:)
Thanks for laughing *with* me, Robin. :) The trip is in April.
Many moons ago I fake baked, for the same reason, I was going on vacation and didn't want to burn. That tropical sun hits lilly white Irish skin and we go up like tinder boxes. FWOOSH! "You want to go scuba diving, Sean? Sean?"
I bought the tanning plan where someone comes in every 15 minutes and bastes me with butter and sprinkles a little garlic powder on me.
