Appearances

Sometimes I think I should change up my blog background and lay-out to make it all pretty and fancy. After having this thought I quickly remind myself that I began writing this blog to keep my family and friends up to date with our far away lives and you don't need fancy pretty. You might want it and if you do, too bad. :) Plus, I'm not a fancy pretty kind of person. It's not about the packaging but about the contents. Although I just highlighted my hypocrisy again because I totally judge a book by it's cover. If it has a bad cover it is staying on the shelf. You gotta grab my attention with the cover or at least with the title. When I'm getting ready to type an entry, I stress over the title until I come up with just the right one. I want the title to grab your attention and still be relevant as well as entertaining. Sometimes I change the title two or three times before I decide on one. Yes, you are THAT important to me.

Our weather has been superb. During the day Jordan will take her homework or a book out onto the patio and sit in the warm sunshine for a while. Today she got engrossed in her book and stayed in the sunshine too long. She got a little red but it's lopsided. It is really dark on her right side and then fades to a lighter less intense burn on the left. To add a little excitement to her shading is a white loop with a white line through the middle of it. Yes, that would be her swimsuit strings tied in a nice big bow. Just two days ago she was laughing that one of her friends will be so jealous of her tan. Her friend is just too fair skinned and does not tan for anything, she will burn a little but it will not result in a tan, it results in pink fair skin that turns into fair skin once again. I'm not sure that jealousy is going to be the reaction that Jordan gets when her friend sees her big white loop in the middle of her shades of red.
