Wear Sunscreen. And also, socks.

Yesterday I decided to go on a hike wearing brand new shoes. What a great opportunity, I thought, to break them in and determine if they are good for walking a lot!

Bad idea, friends. Bad, bad idea.

I did not take any photos of the bloody stumps that used to be my feet, but let's just say my new shoes have a new dye job. Red.

I also did not take a picture of the fancy sunburn I got. This is not your ordinary sunburn- this is the type of sunburn you get when you miss a few random spots with the spray-on sunscreen. It's very modern, I think. Triangles and stuff. Nice.

I did pictures of the scenery but I have realized that I have basically no eye for photography and my pictures reflect that. Sad day, that. I will show you the best of the not great photos though, and you can try to imagine how it really looked.

So, it was nice and desert-y and there were lots of flowers and cacti and this one gross lizard. Yuck.

This last picture has nothing to do with anything, except that I think it's really funny. So, I am dogsitting right now. Today I was putting up laundry and the dog busted into my bedroom, which is my cat's refuge, and this was the result. It's bad picture because I took it with my phone. Don't worry though, it's funny anyway.
