What the hell happened to BuddySlim?

OK I know I have been gone for a while, we’ve been at my Mom’s swimming for the last few days, but man…I hardly recognize this place.

I don’t have much to report other than another sunburn…truth be told I wouldn’t mind the sunburn so much if it eventually turned into a tan. No tan for me, I burn, I’m miserable, I peel, and then I am back to the pasty white I started with.

Oh, here’s something exciting….I’m back to my natural hair color, I think? It’s been so long since I’ve seen it, I’m not sure what it really looks like. I grew tired of the orange/blonde the pool’s chlorine was creating so for the summer at least I am back to being a brunette, well almost.

The little girl I babysit and I are having a girls only day on Friday which will include lunch, some light shopping, a manicure and highlights. My mother has started the betting pool at 10 days until I cave and go back to the red.

Tomorrow the kids and I will be hanging up all our 4th of July decorations. Believe it or not I am the last one on the block to decorate. Our little town take the 4th very seriously, you can’t look 20 houses in either dircetion without seeing someone’s done up in red, white, and blue.

I also promised them that if they behave we can make ice cream. I just bought a soft serve maker and the kids are dying to try it out. Once I catch up on some blogs ( if I can figure out how ) I have to make the base for the ice cream and let it set up in the fridge.

Logan has his intro to Kindergarden orientation tomorrow night as well. I can’t believe he is starting school this fall.

So that’s all that is going on here, I hope you all are well.

    If you are sore from the burn, try rubbing vinegar on it. I know it sounds weird, but it stops the pain. I warn you, you will smell like a salad.

    Hey Erika, I’m so glad to see you found your way back to the blogs. Yeah, they’re different… not in a good way.
    So you’re changing the hair colour - that is something that always gets me excited. I hope we can see some before and after pics! Swimming pools ruin any hair, even if not coloured, so what can you do but take it all in stride… my sis loves her swimmingpools and what she does is that on those days that she spends by the pool, she just keeps a bottle of hair conditioner by her side and puts it on every now and then and combs it through and tehn makes a ponytail. You have to settle with the wet look if you do that but it prevents the hair from going all bristly. Just a thought…

    Glad you are back. Missed you. My sister has been a red head since she was 18. And she is still a redhead. I wouldn’t know her any other way
