Tan Fat

The sun has finally arrived in the Midwest! And so I went out and planted flowers, mowed the yard (all of that counts as exercise, right?), and ran around the yard with my kids playing "tag." And I got sunburned! I was wearing a tank top, so my shoulders were fried. I should be very unhappy about that, right? Nope, I am not. I also layed on a blanket in the yard on Sunday and read part of a book and the backs of my knees got fried. Uncomfortable, yes, disappointing, no. Please!! I need some color other than "translucent" in my skin! I know I am going to end up with skin cancer or something awful like that, but tan fat looks so much less repulsive than white fat. Agreed?

Oh, and thanks for all of the comments. You guys are so nice.

2nd that...
I have started going to the skin cancer salon..I mean tanning salon for that same reason. If I can't get rid of the fat might as well make it tan! The problem I am realizing ever so quickly is that the fat tans faster than the rest and since I am not showing the fat parts - the whole crazy plan isn't working out yet! I have skinny feet....as long as I don't eat too much salt...and they are still pales as ghosts. Hmmph!

I think in order to have tanned feet you have to get a job as a lifeguard - have you noticed their feet? Super tan. I usually end up with an unattractive flip-flop tan on my feet. Oh, and a farmer tan cuz normally I am out in my tee-shirt and shorts and accidently get some sun. I am super sexy in my swim suit like that.

My feet don't tan either. Although they did get a nice burn in Mexico. So, it must take the hottest, most damaging sun possible to get any color on my feet.
