sunburned knuckles

If you drive a Jeep, you know the post title well, and look forward to the first days of warm weather when you can roll back the soft top, sunburn odd parts of your body, like above mentioned, and my favorite, your forehead. This is only masterfully accomplished by tying my golden locks back in my favorite scarf, much like our friend here, the nameless, colorless and body-less mannequin (though I have sense enough to match my lipstick to my scarf). What a dummy. AHAH! Back to sunburn..just above the sunglasses, and just below the scarf, that's about the only place I have a tan these days. Anyway, took the day off, being that it's my birthday. I try to take a good afternoon trip in the Jeep on my birthday, and this year was no exception. Gerdie and I celebrated not only my birthday, but our anniversary (we've been together one year) by packing a picnic lunch, complete with a side of dog food for her. We drove and listened to my absolute favorite cd, courtesy of the ipod these days, and I wondered how many times those songs have played through my Jeep speakers with the top down, and forehead a-burnin'...
How much do I love that Easter is around the corner too? Enough to buy a bag of this Cadbury robin eggs, the ones with the crunchy shell that are solid chocolate...yeah, that bad won't last long. Happy birthday to me!! Now for a quick nap, gonna grill out in a bit, and maybe have a drink with some friends later tonight.
it has been a wonderful day so far.
