also? maybe i closed my eyes & pretended i was laying on a beach. i needed that today. it was one of those days where you wake up & are ready for it to end before it begins. it was a marathon day. it was my day in the office. i realize i'm very fortunate to stay home as much as i do, & also have a great job. but the whole process of getting up, getting ready, & getting parker to heather's to be baby-sat was enough to make me pull the covers over my head.
so after work, i went tanning. i listened to jack johnson while i laid there & i pretended i was somewhere else. i didn't think about all the things i needed to do that night, i just listened to jack's voice & pretended the fans were the ocean breeze.
and maybe i pretended i was here.
yup. i did.
no maybe about it. i love your votes.
I haven't been tanning since high school. Yes, HIGH SCHOOL! I miss it. That will definitely be what I ask for for mother's day... A membership. :)
ReplyDeleteI miss the beach. I really need to hop back into that water really soon. I need a damn tan. YOu'd think living here I'd take the most advantage of the sunshine but gosh I hate it. I'm like a vampire. I'm dead sleeping during the day, being a hermit, and I'm up & ready for a brand new day come sunset! haha. JK. I know what the feels like to want it to end before it begins. I had that day today! it was horrid.
ReplyDeleteAnyways, I have an award awaiting your acceptance doll. Happy Aloha Friday, TGIF.
I love tanning.
ReplyDeleteSome days its happens with out me realising.
Coming home from vacation is the WORST! It takes so long to finally accept that it's over. I used to post 4 or 5 of my favorite places on my cubicle walls, so I could pretend I was there whenever work got stressful.
ReplyDeleteAwe, I love those pictures. You are sooo truely lucky that you got to experience that with Parker. That is just a memory you will never forget. You lucky lady! Have a great day.
ReplyDeleteMe + tanning = bad news. I have exactly two colors, pasty white and lobster red. Nothing in between!
ReplyDeletethese are beautiful pictures! i really think you should frame them and sorta just collage them together on a wall somewhere. :)
ReplyDeleteGorgeous pics, mama!
ReplyDeleteEvery time I go tanning I love to pretend I am on the beach too! There is something so relaxing about taking time away from your day and just focusing on yourself. I hope that your day gets better! P.S. I love your little boys sun hat, so cute!
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh! I so wanna smooch that little boy! Beautiful post & pictures!
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh. I haven't been tanning in 3 years! I want to go sooo bad. I'm in terrible need of some vitamin D. And I'm sorry your day was frustrating! I'm already having one of those days today. Ugh.
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately when I go tanning I still look pale :/ It's all about the mystic tan for us redheads. And being sprayed with a breathtakingly freezing cold mist just isn't quite as relaxing as laying in a tanning bed daydreaming. I think you made the right choice after a crummy day. I hope today is better, and leads you into a great weekend!! :)
ReplyDeleteI love tanning! i know it's bad blah blah blah but I just love it sooooo! Great photos :)
ReplyDeleteahh you just sparked my inner tanorexic! i used to tan every day. now i gob on self tanners .. not nearly as luxurious as laying in a warm tanning bed. love these pictures!
ReplyDeleteJust looking at his face you can see Love written all over it! He is adorable!
