Endless winter and burnt armpits
So I finally was sick and tired of this crazy winter weather and decided that I needed a little splash of summer. I decided a couple weeks ago to purchase a small package of tanning minutes to give me a little sunshine until the summer months arrive. I realize it is hypocritical to tan as a health teacher but I had a weak moment and decided a little glow on my skin would make this crazy long winter a little easier to deal with. Yesterday after school I stopped by the tanning salon on my way home from work for my third session of tanning. This particular time, I would have had to wait ten minutes to get a lay down booth but I could tan right away in a stand up booth. I am a big fan of the relaxation that the lay down bed offers but I decided that I didn't have time to wait so I would try something new. Awful idea. Although the time under the lights is less, you stand in a small time capsule looking thing and hold onto this bar above your head. If being claustrophobic wasn't bad enough, I have the worst case of burnt armpits ever. Today it was all I could do to have my arms to the side. I felt like I needed to keep them suspended out in the air to keep from rubbing against my t-shirt. I have had a sunburn before but NEVER has it been as bad as burning my armpits!
