Default Tried several new things lately....

I have been trying quite a few new things lately. I, like many others have noted, have started tanning. My skin tone is pasty white, the kind that looks like I have been dead.. say... 6 months. So I'm tanning to get to a healthier shade of white, maybe even a little tan. With my skin tone I will never be very tan, but I do tan a bit, so I can wear a skirt or shorts without blinding people.

The other big thing I have tried is Kayaking. I tried it for the first time Sunday. We actually went out sunday morning and bought kayaks and went out on the lake here to try it out. I was nerve racking but very fun. Not to mention a pretty good arm workout.

The whole clothes thing... well that's a definite adjustment for me. Its been so long since I've worn something that fit my body, I have to have a second opinion before buying anything because I can't tell if it's too tight, or it fits and I'm just not used to it.

And today for the first time I can remember, I can actually cross my legs under my desk - so I guess that's new too. lol
