Tanned

Today was beautiful and sunny so me and my husband (yes I actually managed to make him go with me) went to 3rd street and then to the beach. It's always so windy by the sea, it makes me forget that the sun is really strong here, result: I now have a tan for the first time since I moved here! *Yes*

When I went home over xmas (I moved here in Oct.), everbody was all like "Why don't you have a tan? Don't you ever sunbathe?"
Well, I got news for ya, even if the sun is shining, people don't lie on the beach in November and the water's pretty cold by then too, AND I actually have a job (I'm sure you can tell with all the shopping that I work full time right?), so I didn't have time to go to the beach that much.
Plus, Californians are like, ridiculously health conscious and most of them try to stay out of the sun as much as possibly, that is, if they aren't so rich that they can just have surgery to get rid of rinkles and spots caused by the sun, then they just don't give a crap.

Now on the other hand, when spring is coming and my legs are still bright enough to glow in the dark, I really feel it's time to go to the beach a little more, or at least lay out on our roof terrace before going to work in the morning :) It's so nice up there, overlooking West LA, even nicer in the evening.
